34. Lonely steps

"I can clean up."

"We already have someone."

Jeonggoo bites her lips. He's been going from gym to gym all day looking for work. The tiniest one. She thought about being a delivery girl, but for that she would need the motorcycle she didn't bring because she wouldn't have gas. If she asks to bring it in the future, it is not yet in her plans. Besides, she wouldn't have been able to bring Bam either.

Bows before retiring. Crosses the place off the list and looks around. Jeonggoo needs to find a job now. Even if the pay is miserable; she's going to stay in a very cheap motel where they let her keep her dog without a problem and without asking for explanations. Jeonggoo gives up and decides to go to Namkyung's place. She didn't want to resort to it, but to push herself she guesses it doesn't hurt.

"Namkyung send you? Is she still as tall or did she finally shrink?" scoffs the one who drags the sandbags. Jeonggoo says nothing. "That tart so cooperative with creatures lying in shit" hangs up one. "Well, what do you know how to do besides just stand there?"

"I-I well-I-"

"I doubt you'd make a good receptionist" she scoffs. "Judging by your arms, you know what you're doing Could you be a trainer?"

"Whatever. I-I'll settle for whatever."

"Then we'll get along fine. I'm Jackson Wang."

"I've heard very good things about you," comments Yoongi. "They say that the Idols are very comfortable with you."

"Wow~ Yes you could Whooo!"

"You say it like you couldn't" Hosook nudges Taehyung who pouts. "Master "I already have two appearances in music videos, a commercial and an advertisement"" Taehyung smiles square and shrugs his shoulders in embarrassment", but hey~ We're doing great! We're great!" exclaims Hosook triumphantly and Jimin remains silent.

Hosook got a job as a dance teacher at an academy, Taehyung called the card she got a few months ago in Busan and Jimin on the other hand is a stylist at the agency where Yoongi works. It's small, it doesn't have so many groups, it has several soloists and dancers. It is quite good, recognized at this point thanks to the effort and very commented by the almost free treatment to the artists who work there.

Although she is still noticeably down and withdrawn, she is quite talkative with the people she does hair and make-up for. I don't usually leave this in the hands of such young people, but if there is something that is noticeable is that many times the style of someone who creates and consumes is good. It's what the public wants and in this case, can do. A lot of Jimin's styles have already come out. Also that they are a mix between what she is asked for, what she wants and the Idol wants. It's a win-win in the end.

"I don't feel like someone cool right now..." admits Jimin quietly," but maybe I'll feel that way after Yoongi buys me an ice cream.

The man stretches his lips and closes his eyes as Hosook laughs. Jimin nudges him affectionately, obviously playfully. Despite that, there is some truth: she doesn't feel like someone great, she doesn't even feel good, but maybe later if she can be. It gives her joy that what she does is going well. Not so her pay, worse is nothing. Nevertheless, it gives her a gentle nudge to prove that she is capable.

That it can get better

Everything can get better

Even feeling a little empty in the process.

She gasps in exhaustion, the gym is huge, animals come in and leave everything a mess. Jackson has her to do everything: cleaning, tidying, training, assembling, receiving packages IT'S HORRIBLE! The pay is not the best, but Seoul is an expensive place. It costs a lot of money to keep Bam. Even with that she refuses to get rid of him or give him up for adoption. She pulls out her cell phone and instantly opens an Instagram notification that says: Minnie95 has posted after a long time.
