~Chapter 2~
I knew it, when someone pulled out the subject about my occupation, All will be laughing. I don't know the reason, but I don't suit for any kind of job, I don't have a specific ambition, however, I don't know the reason why I can't fit in any job.
“what happened?” asked Eun Rii aunt as she heard me saying 'kicked out'. I replied narrating my long story, bringing up the flashback in my mind.
“first, I went to a company where I had to work as a private assistant. And there...”
I went inside the cabin as the manager called me in, he said, “Anneaughaseyo, I hope you're Ms.Park, Park Ki Ra, If am not wrong.”
“Ne, majayo! sir”
“please take your seat”
I sat down politely and handed over my file which consisted the required details about me when he extended his hand. He looked up at me in a shock and said, “Not the file, I was about to introduce myself.” I awkwardly giggled taking back the file and shaking my hands with him.
“I'm Mr. Ji Seok Joon. Well, now I need your file. ”
Then I handed my file, nervously waiting as he turned each page examining it very well. He asked me afterwards.
“Tea or Coffee?”
“No, my favorite drink is a cup of cappuccino with some cookies added and I mostly have it with pancakes.”
He glared at me, my answer was correct right? he asked for my Favorite Juice, didn't he? No, he was asking if I preferred to have anything. He nodded awkwardly and called his secretary asking for what I said.
“okay, I think you know what's your job, as a PA. Tell me what you know.”
“We just have to be near you 24/7 and do whatever you say and one day we sleep with yo— oops that happens in K-dramas.” I covered my mouth realizing what I just said, his glare was even stronger.
“GET OUT!!!”
“And that's how I was kicked out there.” Everyone giggled again. They leaned forward when Tae Soo demanded me to tell about the second interview.
I went inside the cafeteria and waited till Mr. Lee called me in. As I was called, I went in and took a seat and he said, “Hi, welcome to our Café, what do you prefer to do?”
“obviously, it's a café so I would prefer to eat and pee.”
“what!? I asked about the job!”
“my business or Job is to eat and pee— ooh job! I don't know.”
“GET OUT!!!”
The third interview was demanded by Ka Ya.
I went inside the garment store, straight into the waiting room. I was bored of waiting till the manager came to his cabin, so I went to one of the grocery store Infront of that shop to buy a snack for myself.
As I took a packet of chips and turned to go to the counter, I stumbled to a guy. He looked professional in his looks and his dress code. I shouted at him because the packet of chips fell down and got crushed into pieces.
“Ya! Whom do you think you are Huh!? You dont care about food! Something I love more than anything! You killed it! You're a murderer! How could you—”
“You're not selected, you'd eat my customers this way and cause a huge loss!” he slammed my file I had left at the waiting room, to my face and went away. He was the manager, he probably checked my file and came searching for me to return it.
I explained everything, regretting me talking too much only to hear Kwan Ho laughing out tears mumbling, “Jabber Queen!” and making others laugh too. I felt like it was a comedy show and I was the joker. I didn't bother to say the remaining incidents, it would be my foolishness. I got off from there are went away, pissed.
It was night, when I woke up rubbing my eyes and squinting it to protect my eyes from the powerful light and opened it slowly. As I sat up in the bed to stretch myself, Lee Min jumped over me in the bed causing me to flinch and fall off the bed.
That hurts, I meant my bum. I asked, “auch! What's wrong?”
“your hair!” he replied as I made my messy hair quickly, picking up myself from the ground. I heard him continue, “You missed alot! We had fun in the beach.”
“ I thought you all had left. ”
“ we are here for a stay! ”
“really!? ”
“yes, eomma said she has alot to talk with Jessica aunt and we are already here for a vacation.”
“I'm surprised! I never knew it being the adult of my family”
He nodded peeking into his phone. I asked him as I caught the attention of that, “what's your girl freind doing?”
“Ahh, how many times do I say that she isn't my Yeoja chingu! she's just a freind, and she's good, she's doing her second year of studies, one more year and she will come back to Korea from USA”
I tightened my band in the head and went downstairs leaving Lee Min in the room. As I stepped downstairs, I saw Appa, Eomma, Jeon Appa and Eun Rii Aunt preparing the dinner table.
“Eunah, pass me those pumpkin pies here, Do Ha loves them, does she?” asked Eomma, extending her hand from an edge of the table.
“oh ne, and pass some dumplings this way too, it's not enough for the kids” replied Eun Rii aunt , giving the punpkin pies while setting up the chopsticks.
“Here comes melon mojito and lemon mojito! with few cups of Boba tea.” shouted Jeon Appa as he came from the kitchen, straight towards the dining table, Appa followed him with the tray of ice creams.
I drooled over the set up, candle lights between two ceramic plates filled with Dumplings, then onwards we have equally both the sides, Pumpkin Pies which were seperated into 8 pieces. And we have Kimchi, which Appa loved the most, with some Pancakes topped with Chocolate and Strawberry syrup. Then came the Mojitos and Bobas, with a plate stacked with Waffles. Yummy right?
I never delay when it comes to food, so I hurried and took my seat patiently waiting till the others joined in. Now, appa said tapping a glass of water with a silver spoon, “let's begin!” and I grabbed my plate, serving myself with some Kimchi, a Pumpkin Pie piece, 2 Dumplings and I thought of having the Pancakes later because my plate was already full. I started my business when the table was buzzy and busy, shoving hands everywhere reaching out for food.
I reached for a cup of Lemon Mojito. Then sipped and slurped, wiping off the remains around my lips, my lips are sticky now.
“Ki Ra, your nose!” shouted Kwan Ho when he giggled. I was always insulted at a gathering because of that bitter gourd! I spoke back with my mouth stuffed with food, “Ya! Mind your business, it's way better than your pink hearted undie!”
This time, I spoke without realizing what I just said! It was a gathering and I spoke about his undie, which he would have almost surrendered himself to the police to hide that matter. His cheeks turned purple and I couldn't help but giggle at him, just like that! Yes! Same like that! It was exactly how I was feeling embarrassed when he giggled calling me a Jabber Queen.
“pinky undie boy!” this wasn't me now, it was Do Ha. Aww, the way she pronounced it was so adorable and cute, and I did giggle at her cuteness. But maybe, Kwan Ho thought I giggled at him. He just pressed in the whole Pancake left in his plate, inside his mouth and went grabbing a Boba tea when Jeon uncle said, “hey, the Bobas were for elders—” but Kwan Ho already left. Don't tell me I did it purposely, not my fault!
After dinner, All of us were off to bed, I was just bothered about Kwan Ho and wondered lying in my bed. Is he angry on me? Offended by me? Oh god! He knows about my school crush! Will he reveal it!? I heard a squeak sound then, at the same time I was wondering, it was someone opening my room door! Who could it be at this hour when all are asleep? I slowly tip-toed towards the half-opened door with a badminton racket on my hand.
As I switched on the lights and raised the racket to beat the man, someone slammed the door soon, and that someone was Kwan Ho!
“what on earth are you doing here—!?” I asked when he covered my mouth gesturing me to keep quiet.
He whispered back, “nothing! I just came to give you 50 won”
“50 won! What for?”
“well, to keep my undie matter shut!” he whispered as he stretched his hand with 50 won in his palm. I grabbed it smiling and said , “deal, thank you”
“welcome”
“why are we whispering!?”
“I dont know, Good night” and he went away slamming the door behind him. But I was happy with the 50 won, hehe.
The next morning, I went downstairs scratching my head to grab a sandwich for myself as I was feeling crazily hungry. Appa came hugging me from behind saying, “Good morning my princess” and he pecked me, I smiled, still my eyes closed. He said as he grabbed a water bottle from the refrigerator, “darling, I got a job opportini—”
“Omo! NO!” I replied cutting him off. I was pissed off with the past few interviews, I wasn't interested in trying for another one. He replied after having a sip of water, “what do you mean by No!? Are you planning to be lazy at home?”
“auhh, Aniyaaa!” I groaned as appa took another sip of the water. “I am not interested in trying any jobs appa. I don't have a clear idea of what I can do, and what I can't. However we are rich enough to survive.”
“Ani, it's not the matter about being rich enough, child. It's about securing your future.”
“Mwo!? What does that mean, Appa?”
“we can't deny the fact that, one day you'll be married and gone and having children, so—”
“oh Aniya Ji Hu, leave my baby alone! She will do whatever she wants.” interrupted my Eomma, playfully. I rolled my eyes as Appa spilled the water on my sandwich, choking after hearing what Eomma said. He can't deny what Eomma says because he loves her so much.
I sat in the couch as Jeon Appa came rubbing his eyes, almost stumbling to the wall,“omo! Woah Woah watch out!” called out Eun Rii aunt, rubbing Jeon Appa's arms afraid of what could have happened to him. And as I said, Kwan Ho caught them at this time, based on the concept of lover boy. He thinks they were romantic. Laugh out loud!
I asked Jeon Appa about my cousins and Do Ha. Do Ha was asleep and the others were up, freshening and cleaning, he said so. Now I didn't catch up the sight of Tae Soo and Ji Hye.
“Appa! Where's Ji Hye, she usually wakes up early, right?”
“Ah ne, she had to go to school today for she had practices for the upcoming event.” I nodded for that, she might have not wanted to go since her cousins were here. However, I wanted to find Tae Soo to ask for his pendrive to watch a k-drama. As I entered his room he was folding his dresses and tidying the place.
“watch out! You entered my room without my permission! I'm folding my undies! Eomma said to refill my messy cupboard properly and organize.”
“that's why I felt something stinky! Hehe” I giggled scrunching my nose. “well, Tae Soo, I wanted your pendrive, can I have it?”
“Ne, on my study table.”
I went toward his study table and ran my hands through his table finding for his pendrive, suddenly, my eyes caught the sight of Ji Hye's keytag.
“Tae Soo, did Ji Hye give you this?” I asked showing the keytag since Ji Hye never gives her things to anybody.
“uh... N-Ne. She did.” He replied hanging his head low pressing his lips in, I noticed him sweating. I noticed his unusual behavior.
“Tae Soo, are you hiding something from me?”
“huh... Me!? A-Aniyo. Nothing...” I raised my eyebrow still looking at him, He finally admitted that he was hiding something.
“fine! Ji Hye said— don't say anyone, she said that she has a crush on kim Seok Rae. I did search about him, but still Ji Hye is small.”
“omo! She's upto finding her parter at 12! I have to inform eomma!”
“Aniyo! She just said she's having a crush, she said she would talk about it to eomma once she's at the right age, she promised. And that keytag she gave as a remembrance of her promise and to keep it as a secret”
“ooh! Sad life. Laugh out loud! But keep an eye on the girl, Tae Soo. it's your responsibility to protect your younger sister.” and he nodded.
I left the room after Tae Soo himself handed me the pendrive. I took it with me and caught the glimpse of Kwan Ho talking to Lee Min. As he finished the conversation and walked away from him, scrolling through his phone, I rummaged through my pocket and reached out for the 50 won. I rushed towards him and extended my hand with the 50 won which caused him to flinch. I whispered just like he did the day before, “deal?” and winked at him.
“what?” he asked staring me up and down squinting his eyes.
“to keep my schooling days crush matter shut!”
“ooh okay, khumawo.” he whispered grabbing it and nodding as a deal.
“welcome” I whispered back
“why are we whispering?” He asked.
“I dont know... Bye” I said audible enough to him, and went toward my room.
I rushed downstairs and crawled into my couch, the most comfy and the coziest place ever. I took the pendrive and inserted to its port, opening the required file and searching for the last episode of True Beauty. And just the way I asked him to download it, Tae Soo has done his job.
I can say that my brothers are there for me and Ji Hye when we need them. Only I and Kwan Ho often made deals. But other than that Woo Jin and Tae Soo would always support and do anything I ask for, only if I was polite to them. Sometimes, I had to consider their mood, if it was bad, their final answer will never change unless we work for them. Just like how Kwan Ho made Pancakes for Tae Soo to close his undie matter.
But, I was the one who messed all his day, because I just revealed it mistakenly! However, it's all done now, our matters are being solved by each other. Our deals always remain deals. You might be wondering how I can trust my brothers that they would keep their words, well yes, I can trust them, because they are indeed a gift from God who sometimes troubles, but are always there with me for good.
What a feeling! I just love relaxing, no any issues or problems now, only my occupation but I don't care and I don't bother about doing a job. I just don't know what to do, maybe I am talentless in anything, I don't have a specific talent or interest in any field of job, perhaps, my mouth is the cause. That's what eomma said, after I disclosed everything about the interviews.
I don't mind being jobless, I think young girls like me do job because they feel bored at home. But I'm not, I don't want to do anything.
“hey!” I flinched as I heard Kwan Ho's voice interrupt my thoughts. I sighed placing my palm on my chest. “Ya! you little kidney bean! How can you shout like that in a peaceful place like this!”
“Aishh, leave that you tomato slice! Look I am having my interviews after 3 days!”
“Mwo!?” I stood up, amazed “HYBE interviews? They accepted your application? Woah!”
“Ne, majayo! They did! I'm so excited to attend the selections and give my best!”
“Nee! you better practise!”
“what? I heard someone say selections.” came in Appa with eomma. Eomma already knew the matter.
“chagiya, he's selected for HYBE interviews.” said Eomma only to find appa shocked and happy. Appa pulled Kwan Ho into a hug, patting his back. I sat back on my seat and enjoyed the moment, Appa grabbed an Apple and a knife from the dining table and sat in a couch next to mine. He sliced a piece and handed it to Eomma while speaking to me.
“darling, what happened? Are you bored? That's why I said you also should do something like Kwa—”
“chagiya...” Eomma squinted her eyes at Appa
“okay okay, I won't.” and he sent a slice of Apple in his mouth. I don't understand why he wants me to do a job, if I ask for the reason, he talks about my kids and husband! Laugh out loud! I'm not interested as I said before. I lazily crouched in my sofa holding my knees together, almost preparing myself to sleep once again. I actually had nothing to do, I would've done something with Ji Hye, like drawing something with her or teaching her, but she's at school. My cousins are busy in their makeover, just now Tae Soo and Ka Ya went out together for shopping, you know why Tae Soo went now.
I slowly closed my eyes and didn't realize when I fell asleep, I woke up after a long nap and glanced at the clock hung in the wall, it's 2:30 PM and beside me, Kwan Ho was watching something in his laptop, I leaned towards him to check what he was watching.
“True Beauty!? Did you just take the pendrive from me? ”
“sorry, but I was bored, I know it's Tae Soo's, just don't tell him” and he winked at me resuming back the episode. I just made my messy hair and got up from my place yawning, my life did seem a bit boring. Lee min accompanied me towards the garden
“hey, you seem bored, dont you?”
“Ne kinda, I just miss Ji Hye and Do Ha. Do Ha is snoring, ah ani! now she might be awake, I forgot.”
“Do Ha went with Jeon Appa to get Ji Hye from school.”
“oh, I see.” and we both had some usual chats in the garden, I was playing with the leaves and flowers that came into my hands while I felt the plants in my palms and brushes them while walking along.
