chapter 28

"Cable TV? Like the kids show Cable TV? Cool." Taehyung gapes at the white glass building. "Yeah. Dad's a clerk here but I still don't think there's anything I'd want to do", y/n whines, following her father into a certain office.

"Wong!" Her father exclaims hugging a man around his age. The smiles they are wearing, definitely indicates their unbreakable friendship. "This is my daughter, y/n. And her friend, Taehyung. I don't think- I know y/n is perfect for the job." Mr Choi grins mysteriously.

Y/n and the blue haired exchange a confusing gaze but shrug it off sooner than ever. "Kids, this is Ms. Yuki. She'll show you the way." The man smiles fondly which automatically made them smile in return.

Walking in the busy building like kids trapped in elder's body is something unlikely that the man's assistant is noticing. A smile creeps on her lips every now and then when the duo behind her would swoon or squeal reliving their childhood. Almost like meeting your celebrity crush but from afar.

If it were to be some old hag, they surely would have judged them for their age play but Ms Yuki is someone who is always observing. Observing if the person is ready to take upon the post. As for y/n, she is already considering her perfect. Till now. Y/n does very little in hiding her expressions, her emotions. To the assistant, she seems like water, likely to ripple when a stone is thrown into.

That was what was needed for the job the company had reserved, rather the brunette's father requested them to reserve. It needs emotions and passion. What is the big deal about passion? You can find it whenever, once you start doing the final business. As for emotions, y/n has it all.

"...Tae, do you see what I see?"

" 'the light we lost'. Fuck, it was powered by the Cable TV. Why didn't I ever notice?"

"Oh sweet lord, they are still hanging on the fifth episode. I want to cry." Y/n says clutching onto the blunette's biceps. "I know right? How can people be so cruel. And why is that only teens are always privileged with such good anime. That's so unfair."

"Y/n, Taehyung– come inside", Ms Yuki flashes a smile full of adoration. "We're so sorry Ms Yuki. We are probably, no, definitely embarrassing you." Both of them apologize for their self embarrassing fits.

"Shall we talk over now?"

Y/n curtly nods, somewhat relieved. This is not a bad idea afterall. It is a good distraction. "So as we have been informed, you are majoring in music?" Another silent nod from the brunette and the older continues.

"You must be already aware, we feature everything in children's criteria to teenagers' shows. I'm sorry I overheard you simp for the recent anime-"

" 'The light we lost', oh my god where is this conversation going. I'm kind of freaking out over here right now." Y/n cuts in, overly anxious. "I'm sorry, I should let you talk."

"We like what we discovered from your records Ms Choi. Your academic performance, your forte, excellence, everything. Perfect. If you will, welcome on board." The brunette could only gape. Taehyung pats her thighs as an appreciation.

"We need you to fill the void y/n. Add your fluence to the picture..."

"Ms Yuki, I am- first of all wow. I don't know to say. This is such a big opportunity."

"Before you make your choice, we'd like you to know this, we are a part of the headquarters. The main branch is in Japan, that's where everything is accumulated." Ms Yuki explains softly. As slow as it is required for her to be at the moment.

"If you want, you can take someone with you. You will work under the company's supervision so your expenses and everything is our concern. After that one month of practice, you may decide whether you want to take off from there or not."

☕

"Did you take it?" Mrs Choi asks serving the empty plates on the table. "It's a great opportunity honey, don't miss it." She mentions, sitting on the seat opposite to that of her husband. "Y/n, take your time. Even if we forced you for so long, don't come under pressure. Don't do this unless you like it as much as the job offers back there, alright?" Her father smiles reassuringly.

Right. The job back there. One that she managed to bag with the help of Jimin. Although it is equally good an opportunity, there is no valid reason for her to consider that job right now. Even if they were truly impressed by her and by the recommendation, she did want favours from others. And Jimin is the last person for the time being.

There being no reason for her hold back, to refrain from accepting the post in Japan, she agrees. "I really think I should take it." Y/n tries to smile harder than what comes off despite the recent lingering thoughts.

"Will you be okay, there?" Her mother enquires.

"I can go with you, if you want." Taehyung assists. "Tae, you don't have to– you're already doing so much for me." Concern and awe, these are the conflicted feelings that take over y/n. What good did she even do to deserve this guy? The question that replays in her head as well.

"Who said I'm doing this for you, dummy? I'm doing this for me. Japan is good for lost musicians like us." Laughter rumbles in the room at the unconvincing reasoning of the bluenette. "Okay fine, I don't want you to be alone, okay? Geez where's the gratitude, man."

That was that. Y/n gets the message what the other was trying to convey. And honestly, she was comforted, deeply.

☕

Silver of the moon streaked on the pond. Reflecting the whites of itself. ' "You remember when I said moon shines in the dark? Only because the sun never refused to have it's back. Just like how you had mine. I was too blind to have taken you for granted. Yep, I'm that idiot. Your, idiot. Y/n, I hurt you a lot but I want you to remember- you are my sunshine. I need you to shine for me, okay?" '

Yes, these are the words Jimin had uttered and yet, here she is wishing upon the words to be true. An unintentional tear slips off only to be wiped away by a foreign hand. "You know, you gradually have to talk to him."

"I don't want to, Tae. I'm tired of getting hurt." She sniffles as yet another text dinged her phone over the numerous missed calls. It was all she was running from and she would do that till her finals get over.

Graduate and leave for Japan.
