Chapter 10
Should I just ask Mr. Yoon to tell him? He's probably not even in the building right now. Walking to Mr. Yoon's office, she stops in her steps when she sees her coworker passing by, seemingly in a rush.
"Mr. Yoon, can you—"
"Sorry, Ms. (L/n), I'm in a hurry right now, I gotta go!" he exclaims, jogging to the end of the hallway and to the restrooms. The girl sighs and walks to the elevator, clicking the arrow going down, and not long after, she hears a 'ding!' and the elevator doors open. She walks in and clicks the button of the first floor, and when she arrives, she asks a man that she remembers seeing in the meeting earlier,
"Excuse me, sir!" he turns his head to her direction, looking slightly annoyed, shit, he looks angry... "sir, by any chance, do you know where Stray Kids' manager is?" the man shakes his head and starts to walk away, but (Y/n) stops him again, "wait—then what about Hwang Hyunjin?" the chubby man clicks his tongue, obviously bothered by her. Whoops.
"They should be going to their dorms by now, gosh, you're so annoying!"
"Thank you, and sorry for bothering you, sir," she bows as he walks away. Dammit! I knew it... but what's the worst thing that could go wrong if I don't tell him what time we need to go? Ugh, how do they usually do this? Why didn't anyone give me their number or something? The girl paces across the lobby, past the reception desks, and through the glass entrance doors. I just hope they're still nearby... As she's out in the vast parking lot, she scans the place, looking for him, but she doesn't see him anywhere in her sight. She starts to walk around the parking lot and sighs, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Manager (L/n)!" the girl hears from a short distance and turns her head and sees Hyunjin walking towards her.
"Oh, Hwang Hyunjin, I was looking for you!"
"Me too," (Y/n) pulls out her phone and so does he. They exchange their numbers and she sends him the location and then looks up at him,
"You have to be here at nine-thirty. We're going to take a taxi there so don't be late," he nods while putting his phone away, "...okay, see you tomorrow," she gives him a small smile and they depart ways. Damn... why is it that every time I talk with him, I feel like I'm forgetting to say something?
5:55 pm
"God, finally!!" the exhausted girl groans loudly, dropping her things on the floor and kicking her heels off, which have been making her feel like her feet were being gnawed on. She throws herself on the couch she cleaned yesterday, letting out a heavy sigh. Too much mental and physical energy was used today... I should get used to the new environment. She closes her eyes and thoughts like, I should go change, and, I need to give my all in this job to keep it... and, I miss Dahuin's smile... and went on until she gave up on staying conscious.
Tuesday, 9:23 am
Standing in the parking lot of the JYP building, (Y/n) snuggles her cold hands in the pockets of her dark grey jacket, waiting for Ms. Min and Hyunjin to arrive. Maybe I should've come a bit later, it's freezing... and it's pretty cloudy this morning. Is it going to rain soon? She takes out her phone and uses her few minutes of free time to text Dahuin.
(Y/n): (9:25 am)
Hi Dahuin... can we meet up later?
I wanna talk
And I really miss you :(
She waits a minute or two in hopes for her friend to reply soon but she puts her phone away as soon as she hears someone come out of the building and turns her head to see who it was, and, of course, it was Hyunjin.
