Everything We Didn't Expect

[iMeisaki]

Taeyang and Yong-Hwa pulled out their phones. "Are you sure that you were yelling..?" They asked, showing her the pictures. Ji-Min's eyes widened. "W-What the hell?! I'm not even into him! Who took this huh?! I don't like him one bit! We were yelling at each other in that picture!" Ji-Min said, rambling on and on. At this point, Taeyang and Yong-Hwa believed her and tried to calm her down, laughing a little bit of how angry she would get.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun sighed, scratching his head. As prideful as he was, he knew it was his fault. Standing up, he walked over towards the department, towards her cubicle. He spots the two other friends Ji-Min was with.


"Oi!" He exclaimed. "Ji-Min," hoping that she'd actually look at him. "I'll fix this whole piece of crap. Okay? Don't kill me!" He fake shouted, throwing his hands into the air.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min looked over at him and sighed frustratedly to herself as she sat back in her seat. "Oh what to do.. I should die. How did I get in this situation when he was the one that came over to me." She sighed to herself, covering her eyes with her arm. Of course, she was acting dramatic when she got upset like this.

 

[StupidCupid]

He bent down to get a closer look of her. "It's not like your life is gonna get ruined because of one picture," he quipped, grinning. "And besides, I'm here to fix this." He took out his phone from his pocket, already pushing some buttons, hoping that his connections could reach who took the pictures. "The lady that took the picture was someone from the company, so all I've got to do is ask some of my friends for some . . . help."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min stood up and faced Director Doh. "I don't care about the stupid picture, just because you're going to fix this doesn't change any way how I think about you! Aish!" She barked. Ji-Min then crossed her arms and felt Taeyang getting scared that they would rip their eyes out. She quickly got up. "S-Sorry Director Doh, she's just feeling a little off." She interrupted. "I'm not feeling off!" She said. Quickly Taeyan covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly, pushing her out of the room and into the ladies bathroom.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun smirked, nodding in agreement. "Yea, she's off." He stated, narrowing his eyes at her. "And since when did I say that I cared about what you think of me? I'm merely here to fix this mess." He shot a glance at her two friends, already stifling giggles. "Your friends agree too."

 

[iMeisaki]

Taeyang had laughed but dragged Ji-Min outside, ready to start yelling at him. However, she brought her inside the bathroom. "You need to chill out. Or else you are going to get fired. Look, he's our boss..he can do whatever he wants to do. Just..don't get involved anymore. Only work purposes. Alright?" She said, trying to calm her. Ji-Min sighed and leaned against the wall. "I guess you're right, he just annoys me how he doesn't even care." She said. "I know, but it's none of your business or mine. Got it?" She said. Ji-Min nodded her head and Taeyang left her in there to cool off.

 

[StupidCupid]

He watched Ji-Min get dragged off. With a chuckle, he left her workspace, leaving a few confused, a eavesdropping workers. The rest of the day came and went with a blur. Hyun didn't talk to anyone else, he just trapped himself in his office till it was time to go home. Once his watch ticked to 5:47, he stood up and went to the exit of the building, humming a random tune.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min then left the bathroom, relieved that Director Doh left. Hyun..was someone different to Director Doh but not completely different. He scared Ji-Min with his personality. Once the day was over, Ji-Min didn't feel like taking the bus. She needed to walk around the area for a while, just to get some air and maybe look around stores.

 

[StupidCupid]

Once Hyun got out, he searched around to see if Ji-Min got left by her bus again. But he didn't spot her on her usual bench. So with a sigh, he walked on, towards his own apartment, to go binge watch who knows how much tv shows.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had walked around, looking at shop windows and distracting herself. By now, she had forgotten about the incident and started feeling better. Seeing the traffic pass by and others walk on the streets.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun stopped walking just for a moment, eyes darting to the window displaying different types of bags and heels. Different kinds of women flooded in and out of the luxury store. It's always been there, in the path of his home. Hyun always wondered what those women saw in those materials. Still standing in front of the store, he shoved his hand into his pocket, pulling out his phone, checking the date.


He noticed that something was listed in his reminders for the next day, clicking it open, he frowned.


"SeoHi's birthday" it read.


Yet another one of the many girls his father had set up with him. But at least he got along with this one. With a sigh, he went inside the store, picking out the first bag he saw and throwing it at the cashier along with his card.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had been walking past a makeup store. She stopped looking in the window with a finger placed on her lips. Right next store was a store selling expensive shoes, bags, and clothes. However, Ji-Min didn't really use a lot of that. She liked makeup more, she was creative when she was by herself but outside, she rarely wore any. She stood in front of the window and looked at all the colors, foundations, and brushes.

 

[StupidCupid]

(Sorry this took forever! I completely forgot! Please forgive me!)


Grabbing the newly bought bag, Hyun made his way back outside, people busily rushing past him. Next to the expensive, luxury store that he recently came out of, was a makeup store. It too, was costly, but not as costly as the bags and shoes. And standing right outside the window was a mesmerized Ji-Min. Hyun couldn't help but smile at her, her eyes seemed to twinkle with curiosity at the materials. To Hyun, he didn't see her as a makeup type. With a smile still plastered on his lips, he walked forward, merely brushing past her, knowing that he brought enough hurt to the girl to last a lifetime.

 

[iMeisaki]

(Don't worry!)


Ji-Min had smiled, looking at the makeup. She didn't notice people passing by her, she just kept looking. After a while, she moved back, knowing that she wouldn't be able to afford it. She then started walking down the street more. Wanting to explore her surroundings of the workplace and also a place to be with friends. Some restaurants looked expensive but there was one that looked pretty cheap since it was small. Ji-Min had kept walking as she looked past the people passing by her. They sure were in a rush.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun' stomach growled in protest. He frowned, remembering that he didn't eat much. One, because his lunch was interrupted by a snooping worker. And two, he wasn't really fond of snacks while working. With a sigh, he looked around for someplace cheap. He didn't need much to fill his belly, finding it useless to spend so much on food. If it was edible, then great!


Spotting a small restaurant, he finally decided to head over and get a meal. Nothing large though, he still had stuff to do for the night. Some late night work. Walking into the restaurant, he sat at the bar, ordering a beer and some soup. An odd combination? Yes, he knew that pretty well. But he wasn't feeling the best really. The only girl he talked well with (minus his mother of course), was angry. He was hungry. And he was grumpy. Not a very good combination.


He received a weird glance from the waitress, but he merely shrugged it off. He didn't care, he didn't mind, all he knew was that he was hungry and he wanted good food and a beer. Tea was usually what he craved, but sometimes a man needed something stronger in life.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had kept walking. She saw a small restaurant across the street. Maybe she can get takeout. She pulled out her phone and dialed the number. "Ah yes, could I order some food?" She asked. "Yes! We are open all night! What would you like?" The manager said. Ji-Min had ordered her food and then waited to see the total of what she had to pay and how long she'd wait. "That comes to ₩14,000 and it'll be done in fifteen minutes." He said. "Alright! Thank you very much." She said, hanging up and walking around more until it was time to get the food.

 

[StupidCupid]

He finished his food in a matter of minutes, already up and about, exiting the restaurant after paying. Grabbing his suitcase and the newly bought bag, he emerged from the restaurant, the rushing people greeting him. "Well," he whispered to himself. "I best go home then." He went back to his usual track, following the road back towards his apartment, only stopping half way, to see Ji-Min he again.


"Now, why must that girl pop up everywhere in my life." He said, grinning. "Maybe it's fate," he said with a laugh. Hyun didn't believe in those things. He was ever a religious or superstitious man.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min kept walking. It was almost time to pick up the food. She had walked a little more and looked up, stopping when she saw Director Doh. "D-Director Doh..What are you doing here?" She asked, looking at him with her hands by her side. She had calmed down by disliked the fact about him working that way still. However, she was going to listen to Taeyang and not let it get to her completely.

 

[StupidCupid]

He grinned brightly, his angry mood ebbing away. "I was just eating dinner," he raised his right hand to wipe away some food stuck at the corners of his lips. He didn't really care what he looked like to Ji-Min anymore. Nothing could've made her madder than she was right now, right?

 

[iMeisaki]

Slowly she nodded her head. "Where did you eat? Over there?" She pointed at the place she was heading to. Ji-Min the lowered her hand and put it back to her side and looked at Hyun. However, she didn't know to cal him. Director Doh? Hyun? Aish.

 

[StupidCupid]

He nodded, still smiling. "I thought we settled on you calling me Hyun out of the work office," he stated, a hint of hurt in his voice. "Heck, go ahead and call me Hyun even in it." His usual jokey and playful demeanor slowly faded away, replaced by seriousness. "I just want you to know that I'm really sorry."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min sighed slightly and lowered her head. "S-Sorry...I'll call you Hyun." She looked back up at him. "I'm sorry too..I didn't mean to get so mad, however, I won't let it bother me anymore. I won't ask you about anything anymore really.. I am just a newbie so it's not my place either." She said in a sigh, scratching the back of her hair.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun frowned, seeing the pain and frustration in her eyes. With a sigh, he unexpectedly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her closer to him, enveloping her in a big bear hug. He wanted a hug, and she seemed like she needed one. So? Win win right? A small grin was plastered on his lips, content at that moment.


"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I did warn you that I was a fool right?"


((I'm sorry. I just...felt like doing that? Idk. Don't hit me! In another note. I went ice skating and feel like a bajillion times. It hurt x.x))

 

[iMeisaki]

(I won't hit you, xD It's cute but I've fell so many times the last time I went.)


Slowly, she hugged him back. It was a bit awkward in the way he hugged her. But then again, they aren't 'together' in that way. Ji-Min had stayed silent, sighing at his comment of being a fool. "You're not a fool." She responded, slowly pulling back and looking up at him. "I just wish....-" She sighed, "I just wish, you'd consider your job more or if you really don't like it..." She stopped speaking, remembering about what she said. To not get into his personal affairs.
