Sora--
I walked into the store, its white marble stone slated walls surrounding the entire room, with the clothing racks moved to the side, along with the cashier's counter.
I heard the clack of heels on the marble floor and looked up to meet eyes with my boss, Mrs. Kim. Jennie Kim, to be exact. She had a love for fashion ever since she was younger and accomplished her dream of owning a clothing store. Everyone wanted to work for her. I was just a lucky chosen one.
"Sora!" She exclaimed with a wide, pretty smile, "You're finally here. Good, good. I have some great news for you." She smiled again.
"Really?" I opened my mouth wide. I had no idea where this was going.
"You know the famous runway model that has been blowing up, right? Lee Yua? Well, we were allowed to create an outfit for her to wear to the Jeong Fashion Show."
"L-Lee Yua.." I felt my hands fly to my chest. I swore I could hear my heart skip a beat. I had always wanted to meet her. She had an amazing fashion sense and was heavily praised by everyone that met her.
"Yes, Lee Yua," Jennie stated proudly. "I am putting you up to the task to create the outfit. I want something that describes not the model, but you. Something you connect with, something that is you."
"What?" I take a step back, "Why don't you make it? It is such a big opportunity, and you are the best designer in our department."
"Because it wouldn't be original," she began, "I am a classy young businesswoman that drinks red wine and scoffs at men." She chuckles, the shape of her mouth creating a hexagon.
"Yes, but runway models can be classy.." I mumble, knowing there is no way I am getting out of this.
She patted my shoulder lightly, and in a light voice she comforted me, "Don't worry too much about it, you got this." And with that, she was back off to her office.
I stood there frozen still as if cuffs had grown from the ground and cuffed me. I felt light-headed, as my head was spinning and I was losing view of everything around me.
"Sora?"
I snapped back to see the co-worker from last night, "Renjun?"
"Ah, so you are okay. You were blanking out, so I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to fall asleep standing."
"No, no. I'm okay." I lied.
"Hey, uhm, I heard there was a new coffee shop right down the street from here. We still have about an hour before work begins, so want to go try it?" He smiled, which made my heart do a mini cartwheel. Strange.
"Sure." I smiled back.
