(we look happy in our family portrait)

better run, better run, outrun my gun

Today was definitely not Bora's day.

It seemed like the universe was conspiring against her or karma was finally getting back at her.

From the moment she woke up with the sun filling her room with light, everything started to go downhill: her alarm never rang so she was running late for work, her toaster exploded as soon as she plugged it in, the milk in her coffee was spoiled so she had to pour a seemingly perfect cup of a nearly emptied Ospina Coffe box down the drain and, since she couldn't function without coffee, ended up on a long line in Starbucks where she couldn't buy her much needed cup of coffee since a stranger tripped and dumped their Caramel Snickerdoodle Macchiato all over her.

Once she made it (barely on time) to the dance studio, her boss Seulgi didn't give her any chance to change since she needed Bora to cover Momo's class, as the woman had a family emergency.

Family emergency my ass, Bora bitterly thought as she walked into the room with a fake smile in place, if her instastories are any indication, that bitch partied a little too hard yesterday.

Even though Bora had started the class in a bad mood, she felt the bad taste her morning had left her vanish with every beat her body matched.

Maybe today won't be so bad afterall , she thought with a smile as she watched the students match her movements with enthusiasm.

-----------------------------------------

"So I am in like...", the woman in front drawled out her words before pausing to pop her gum, "...a bread and water diet only, it has done wonders to my figure."

This is the last time I'm letting anyone set me up on a blind date , Bora's fist clenched under the table.

Bora cursed her luck (and Seulgi, who convinced her to go on this stupid blind date), her day had seemingly gotten better after covering Momo's class and her own that followed throughout the day, all Bora wanted was to get home and soak on her bathtub and enjoy a glass of wine while folklore played in the background.

But then stupid Seulgi had to remind her of the blind date she had set her on with one of her wife's coworkers.

To be honest, Bora was this close to canceling, and it must have shown in her face since Seulgi had to threaten her with cleaning the dance rooms for a month -which she could have handled- after the teen groups were done.

("You also have to be on your best behavior", Seulgi warned her after Bora had changed into some nice clothes she had lent her, "Ara is kind of Joohyun's boss's niece".

"Why would Joohyun set me with her then?"

"The girl has been whining about wanting a girlfriend for months and his uncle is tired of it, so he asked Joohyun to set her up with one of her... nicest friends", Seulgi pushed Bora out of the studio, "and since none where available, we had to ask you."

Before Bora could say something back, Seulgi had already locked the studio's door and waved cheekily at her from the inside.)

And that she couldn't handle, Bora shuddered just thinking about the smell and the sweaty floors the teens left behind after Taemin's classes.

"Do you think this picture matches my instagram feed?", a phone was suddenly shoved in her face with no warning, "I'm trying some tips my life coach gave me, that are sure to boost the energy around me".

I don't care, Bora wanted to say, but the thought of cleaning after the teens classes kept her on her best behavior, no matter how much she wanted to strangle the woman in front of her.
