Everything We Didn't Expect

Hyun just stared down on a piece of blank paper, pulling out a pen and doodling random stuff. Ranging from stick figures to weird creatures. H was never a good artist, but hey! One can try! No one seemed to want to catch his attention anyways. No one called out for him and it wasn't his turn to speak. So why would he care?
 
As the meeting was going on, Ji-Min whispered very quietly so only Director Doh could hear. She was frowning and gazed at him. "Director Doh." She silently called out. Things like this bothered Ji-Min, did Hyun really not care about his job that much? Then why was he working here? If he didn't want to lose his position, why wasn't he trying?
 
Hyun looked up, wondering who called him. It couldn't have been any of the higher ups. Cause if it was one of them, they'd either be scolding him or trying to humiliate him. Hyun didn't really care which option they choose really. His eyes locked with Ji-Min, noticing that she was the one calling him.


"What?" He mouthed.
 
Ji-Min frowned and mouthed the words back to him. "What..?! This is an important meeting you need to listen to.." She said, feeling a bit disappointed and also wanting him to be determined. Ji-Min then quickly went back in her seat so she wouldn't get caught. She then kept quiet and looked over at him again to see what he would say.
 
With a shrug, Hyun went back towards his doodling. He didn't really care, his colleagues would brief him later on anyways. Other than Ji-min, no one else seemed to mind.
 
Ji-Min had sighed and got frustrated. She then sat back in her seat and stopped paying attention to the meeting. If he wasn't going to pay attention, he wouldn't run to her to ask what happen because she won't know either.
 
Once the meeting seemed to have finished, he smiled in satisfaction. See! No one bothered to make him recite. Why would they? Hyun clearly knew that this was just for the newbies, and he was pretty sure he was no where near newbie. Draping an arm around one of the higher ups, he started to interrogate him about the meeting.
 
Ji-Min sighed in frustration. How could a worker be so ignorant in a meeting!? Ji-Min just walked out and kept by her friends, not really want Director Doh to talk to her that much.
 
Hyun spotted Ji-Min from afar, seemingly mingling with the other workers. He gave he a smug smile, not caring whether she sees him or not. He doesn't get into trouble that easily. She must know that know. Dismissing the thought, he continued to listening his colleague ramble about the meeting which he cared so little about.
 
Ji-Min didn't dare to look at Director Doh. She sighed to herself and then went back to her cubicle. Tearing looked at her concerned but she told her that everything was fine and continued to work. Boy... It was going to be a long work day with this attitude.
 
Hyun remembered telling Ji-Min that he was different in the workplace. He guessed that she either forgot and didn't expect him to be like this. He shrugged, making his way back to his office, happy to find that there wasn't much stuff to go through. Whistling while working, he had a smug smile plastered on his lips the whole time he finished his work, till he finally noticed that it was lunchtime. Surprisingly he wasn't hungry. So with a shrug, he went towards his other coworkers to see if he could help with anything else.
 
Ji-Min saw it was lunchtime. There was an hour break now. Ji-Min got up without her friends and went downstairs where there were vending machines that can give you hot coffee, coco, tea, etc. Then there was another stand for meals. She got a cup of hot noodles and got coffee, still frustrated. Work was one of the most important things to her, there was a lot of responsibility involved. Ji-Min then went to one of the seats that aced the window and looked out while she ate.
 
Once Hyun got to the cafeteria, he got himself some team a meal, then walked over towards the nearest vacant table. He watched as other workers fled towards their own respective table, all filled with buzz and laughter. He sighed, hair sweeping over his face. He took a sip of his usual tea, finding it bland. He took a bite of the pasta he got. It too was bland. He made a face at the food.
 
Ji-Min didn't want anyone sitting next to her at the moment. Her negative activity could easily spread if someone saw her facial expression. She kept sitting at the stool and looked out the window as she ate. It burned her inside, even though it wasn't even her position..She was just mad. Ji-Min was always interested in working though, that's why she was mad really.
 
From the corner of his eye, he spots Ji-Min sitting alone just like him. Now why would she be siting alone? Wasn't she some sort of social butterfly, while he was a hibernating bear! He stared down at his food, then towards her table. With a shrug, he picked up his tray and tea, walked over towards her chair and sat horizontally across her.


"Hello!" He exclaimed, a smile on his lips.
 
"Why aren't you day dreaming huh?" She said, looking over at him as she sighed and continued to eat. Not looking at him. 'Obnoxious...Non-working...lazy man.' She thought to herself, wanting to get her anger out but she knew if she did...she'd get banned from the office forever. Ji-Min kept eating, hoping that he'd leave later.


(Fight, fight, fight, fight! xDD Chanting in my room)
 
He tilted his head to the side, making a puppy face. "Can't I mess around for once in my life?" He said, then pouting. Looking down in fake shame, he picked up his fork, twirled it around the pasta, pulling it up and shoving whatever pasta he took.


"You're too harsh on me Ji-Min." He said with his tongue sticking out. This definitely caught some amused glances from some co workers passing by.
 
"You know..I thought you were just a little concerned about your job. Those are important in there. Even if it isn't important to you, you should've listened instead of just doodling. I thought you wanted to work hard. Boy you're confusing.. makes me sick." She said, sighing to herself. Ah he really is crazy..! She thought.
 
"I do," he said confidently, sitting up straighter. "I'm simply finding easier or simpler ways to work. As you can see, I didn't need to listen because one, I barely have any contribution to that meeting and two, if I did, my colleagues would just tell me all about it." He paused. "And, this isn't the job I wanted, so why would I care all that much?" He said with a laugh,


Snap!


He turned towards the left, eyes growing wide. A worker (whom he didn't bother to remember the name) stood in front of the table, phone in hand, the flash making the sound.


"Fudge," he hissed, not really thinking what she wanted from that picture.
 
Ji-Min sighed. "That's it! That's just it Director Doh! How can you be so inconsiderate?! Why not just quit now instead of wasting the space and giving it to someone who actually wants it?! Ah..Such a spoiled brat." She muttered. Taking her half full cup and throwing it away. She saw the picture be take and sighed, putting her face in her palm. "Aish..Just to add on to my day." She said, walking away towards the elevator.
 
"Because I've got no choice," he countered, glaring at her, now ignoring the picture. They can do whatever they want with it, who was he to care. "Have you ever thought about that? That I can't do anything no matter how hard I want to work someplace else?" And just when he thought Ji-Min was a good and understanding friend.


He watched her go, frowning.


"Yep, just like any other woman." He muttered, shoving another piece of pasta into his mouth. "Loud, infuriating and always wanting to win."


( I was chanting fight fight fight too :P derp)
 
Ji-Min shook her head. Even if he didn't want to do it, he didn't have the right to say he had no choice. Ji-Min had to find a job, the circumstances for that wasn't "No choice" In his situation, he could fight his father all he wanted, if he really wanted to leave..he could mess up in front of other upperclassmen and let them run to his father. Instead of just not listening. Ji-Min sighed to herself, she thought he was okay up until now. He got on her nerves.
 
With a sigh, he pushed himself up from the chair, brushing his suit, then strutting towards his office. A few stares caught his eye, and all he could do was glare at them, ending up in several lower workers to flee. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, thinking of what bad had he done.


"Did I really do anything bad?" HE mused to himself, entering his office.
 
Ji-Min had gotten back to the office and walked back to her cubicle. Her friends looked at her confused. "W-What happened Ji-Min?" Tearing asked her. "Huh? What are you talking about, I was talking to our boss and we both yelled at each other." She said in a sigh, leaning back in her seat.
 
Once settled on his seat, Hyun shot a glance at his phone, vibrating. Sighing, he picked it up, clicking the text message. It was from a colleague. A message with a picture attached to it.


I didn't know that you ate with someone. What happened to you? Odd much?


Hyun sighed, looking at the picture. It was a bit . . . odd. It was the part where they were practically yelling at each other, but the positions were questionable. He was leaning on the table, glaring at her. Well, he knew he was glaring, but to others it might not seem so. Then there was Ji-Min fierceness in her eyes, also slightly leaning.


"Fudge,"
