"ill go find one today." i said as though that would make a difference. every single job i had applied to had refused me and turned me down because of the early age when i had dropped out of school, which was a lack of education for me. nobody knew that i had a hidden talent. ♡ nobody knew that i even mattered, in fact. except for my brother, who i had been protecting this whole time. the only family member i had left. after both my parents - i shook my head. no. i was not going to think about it. im going to get a job today. i am going to get a job today. i am definitely getting a - i determinedly fixed my eyes on the looming city before me, bustling with people clearly more successful than me. i must get a job today. ♡ "welcome, welcome!" i heard a cheerful voice coming from the register. you must be yeonu lee -here for the interview! wait here and we'll get to you soon." i looked around. at the gold-embellished pillars. at the velvet chairs. at the glass coffee tables. at the flawless carpet. i knew it. there was no way i would get a job today. ♡ "yeonu lee?" a voice called from the other side of the room. i hurriedly stood up and walked to the woman, presumably the assistant. we stepped into the lift together as she pressed the button numbered 20. this was a really tall building. i shuddered. when i came out of the elevator, i looked around. "please follow me to the interview room." the assistant spoke, in a seemingly monotone voice. i shuffled along and paused in front of the door. "id better get off now." the assistant turned around and walked to the elevator. and she paused. "good luck. the ceos been looking forward to meeting you, strangely." and then she left. i stared ahead. what did she mean? did i know the ceo? my mind raced faster and faster as i tried to think of possible scenarios. "are you just going to stand there?" i looked up and jolted back to my senses. a tall guy with midnight-black hair looked back. i blushed in embarrassment. "oh.. im sorry." as i took a seat in humiliation, i knew. ugh, i was NOT getting a job today. ♡ i walked glumly out of the interview room, went down the elevator and trudged home without a sign of a smile. now i just had to hopelessly wait for a call that would never come. ♡ when jiho told me that our newest application came from someone called yeonu lee, i had a slight feeling. now that i had seen her in real life, all my thoughts were answered. when the long brown-haired girl left the building, i whispered to myself. "so you are yeonu." ... "i missed you." ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ♡ author's note // 2nd proj and 1st chapter!! this chapter is set 20 years after the prologue, in case you were confused. from now on, all (or most) chapters will be in this time, unless its a flashback or something else!! ++ sorry for the late chapter, i was on holidays for a while since where i live it's the school holidays!! anyways, hope you enjoyed!! please consider following for more content like this <3 ♡ end ♡
