Dappled Light [2yeon]

Chapter 3

~Time skip to next day, 6.20am~

Room A2, Polaris co-op

Jeongyeon woke up seconds faster than her alarm. "Today's a good day." She uttered with her sore voice, as she always believe she will be blessed when she woke up earlier before her alarm. Immediately, she did her morning routine as quick as possible since today is her first day to work in an unfamiliar place. There are water vapours on her window this morning, so Jeongyeon had a slight idea that it rained yesterday night. It's better to bring my scarf with me. Jeongyeon wrapped herself with the Burberry scarf, adding a few more turns on her neck and she was good to go.

"Good Morning!" Jeongyeon pulled out her keys and turned around to see who greeted her this early. "Oh, morning to you too." It's the brunette yesterday. She is wearing a turtle neck with her denim jeans, there is a huge coat hanging on her wrist, it seems like she is going out. Jeongyeon smiled awkwardly, seeing she doesn't move an inch after she greeted her. Please! It's my first day and I don't want to be late! The brunette let out a cheeky smile, later grabbing Jeongyeon's hand for a friendly handshake.

"I'm Sana, nice to meet you, Jeongyeon-ie." Sana slowly pulled Jeongyeon's hand up and landed a kiss on her fingers. Jeongyeon froze, her eyes nearly fell out and she can't feel her legs anymore, Jeongyeon thought she must has broken somewhere. She giggled, and left Jeongyeon overwhelmed in front of her room. I should avoid her. This was Jeongyeon's first impression for such a bold girl, Sana. "Jeongyeon? Why are you still here? I thought you have a bus to catch?" Jihyo stood at the end of the corridor, yawning as she saw Jeongyeon not moving an inch.

Her words were a wakeup call to Jeongyeon. "Shit! Thank you Jihyo!" With a flustered heart, she ran passed Jihyo and dashed through the staircase, screaming internally as she realized she still have 20 minutes left to catch the early bus. "Good luck~" Jihyo said with her voice floating in Jeongyeon's head. Jeongyeon was glad that she has long legs. "Good morning, you're early, the food is on the table." Mina said while half asleep, not knowing the older woman in a hurry. "I'm sorry. I'm not eating, I have to catch for the bus!" Jeongyeon apologized while wearing her boots clumsily.

"I know, but you still have to eat." Mina smiled after taking a sip of her warm tea. Aaaarghh! 18 minutes left! Jeongyeon finished tying up the laces and was ready to bust through the door, only to get dragged back by someone. "Take it to your work place." Ms. Im ordered stoically while pushing a container to a panicking Jeongyeon. "Al-alright then." She knew she can't refuse Ms. Im, she just don't know why. She had an apron tied around her waist, Jeongyeon guessed she made the breakfast for everyone. "Oh dear! There's 16 minutes left until 7am! You gotta hurry now, Jeongyeon-ie!" Not her reminding me about this!!

Jeongyeon quickly placed the container nicely in my laptop bag, and darted out of the house after thanking Ms. Im. She ran breathlessly, following the only route down the hill as she remembered there was a bus stand at her right when she came here. I think the junction is only a few metres away, I have to take right and I will see the bus stand! Jeongyeon's head started to spin due to the amount of cold air she took in. The air stings her lungs too. "......I-I am safe." Her heart was pounding psychotically fast to the point Jeongyeon thought she has asthma now.

6.55am. To think I have not sprinted for years, I am forever banning that brunette in my life!!

The Nordic House, Torshavn

Jeongyeon bowed to the bus driver and got off the bus. Although it's more crowded here, but the smell of nature hasn't gotten less a bit. The breeze that slips through her fingers is just a chilly feeling that put her at ease and all giddy since it feels like autumn back at South Korea. Jeongyeon loves autumn, she thought her company did a great job at planning her schedule here. "Hello, you must be Ms. Yoo Jeongyeon, the executive activity planner slash interior designer for the new year concert specially promoted by the head of Suwon Business Planning Co." The man in front of Jeongyeon offered his hand.
