Nari's POV
Arriving back at the flat I insert my key and unlock the door. I trudge towards the tiny couch and flop down on it with a weary sigh; it was a long night at work.
It's been two weeks since we arrived back in South Korea. While everything was rushed and hectic and very stressful in the beginning, now things have settled down into a more of a routine I suppose. Two days after I put in my application at the hospital I received a call for an interview; the next day I was hired on the spot.
Turns out they had a need for an English speaking nurse. It's not the worst job I've ever had but it's not my favorite either, some of the other nurses don't care for working with a foreigner. At least I still get to work my graveyard shifts, which is ideal for me.
Soon after I found employment, so did Nyx. With her skills, she's in high demand within the circle of gourmet restaurants around Seoul. She moonlights whenever one of the restaurants is in need of extra staff, or for private dinners with international guests. The best part is that she is so highly requested that she can pretty much name the price for her services. It's been a huge help with getting our lives set up here.
I wasn't happy when Nyx became more of the breadwinner than myself. I'm older, so I see it as I should be taking care of her, not the other way around. So, to make up the difference I found a second job; a home health nurse for an elderly expat couple. The Sutton's, they're originally from the U.S. so they appreciate being able to converse easily in English. The work is fairly easy, I visit them twice a week and spend several hours with them. I check their medications, monitor the records of their vitals, and assist them with their physical therapy. They're incredibly sweet and have become attached to me so I enjoy those days.
I haven't been sitting on the couch long before I'm prodded with Cas' wet nose. I check my watch, 7:45 a.m. I haul myself up and clip on his service vest and his leash and we make our way down to the ground floor and out into the warm June morning. We take a little stroll through the park. I'm incredibly proud of how well my big goofball has adjusted, he really is an amazing companion. We make our way back to our apartment building and I see a delivery man pressing the buzzer as he stands with a dolly carrying two large boxes.
"Are those for 301?" I ask him kindly. He looks a little wary but then nods. "Well that's for me then, here let me get the door." I enter the lobby and he follows as we take the elevator to the third floor. I notice him sneaking side long glances at me but I just ignore them, Cas is a wonderful deterrent for unwanted attention. He always seems to have a sixth sense about these things, so he sits and stares at the man, clearly making him uncomfortable.
Reaching our door I unlock it and see that Nyx is awake and puttering around the kitchen. "I'll take those off your hands now," I say to the man as I heft a very heavy box into the living room. Nyx sees what I'm doing and rushes to retrieve the second box. As I return I notice the man eyeing her attractive legs and I step past her blocking his view. He seems to snap back to himself as I sign the paperwork and return the clipboard to him with a cold stare. We exchange thank you's and bow and then he leaves. I close the door behind me and lock it.
I see Nyx sitting on the floor in the living room rifling through the boxes. Thank God Frankie and Gemma have been so understanding about our situation and offered to ship some of the items we left behind. It seems like these boxes are filled with mostly clothes and a few personal mementos. A note from Gemma is inside. "Whatever else you want sent, just let us know. We love and miss you girls, please video call us sometime soon! Love Frankie and Gemma."
I can honestly say that we miss them too, they were a great support system for us. They still are, but it's different now that they're so far away. "Good morning by the way," I say, bending down and giving Nyx's cheek a kiss.
