(if u think this chapter had a sudden upgrade in yummy details, i think its bc i saw a rly good inspo idea and it gave me motivation and placed the right words in me 💕)
"i have a feeling this would change my life…" matthew mumbled as he browsed around online about the qualities that would be needed (and absolutely useful) for the job he'd be applying for.
its the next day, a friday and a nice one that is. he already ate, freshened up, tended to his little parents memorial shrine in the corner, did some work outs, and now was just enjoying the calmness.
the peaceful, sunny morning. he’d be looking very ethereal right now. his icy pure white hair, looking soft and fluffy, delicate like down feathers in a perfect flow. his hair practically glowing due to the sunlight that was in his direction. the clearness in his amber like eyes, glistening in the sunlight. his sun kissed skin with a glowy vibrant complexion.
in reality though even when thats all true, the sun was seeping through the windows and onto matthew and he was feeling a bit of heat on the sunny spot, so he decided to move and sit somewhere else. besides, it was getting a bit difficult to see his laptop screen with the bright sunlight on it, the glare and shine abusing his poor eyes.
the sun was not feeling him, even if his friends call him a "person who's like sunshine." whatever that means, matthew figures.
he stood up from his past spot in the kitchen sitting on a chair using the kitchen counter as a good spot to chill.
he picked up his laptop and pushed the chair with his foot since his hands were full, plopping down on the couch.
the male had worked on his resume last night, staying up till about 1am. he finished it though, between the hour and a half he spent. it was worth it, sacrificing some sleep. though, even if he’d be waking up late the next morning, it’s not like as if it mattered right now since he now had lots of free time, being unemployed and all with no school.
to add, he was kind of confused while writing some of the resume because usually in resumes you’d put job experiences, awards, schools, et cetera. but, since matthew only worked a convenience store job (he did not add that in and explained how it wasn’t relevant since the two were completely different) and practically dropped out of college, he had no experience at all.
writing a resume with no work experiences was difficult for the male, but it was possible (google says it too). he mainly focuses on his skill points, languages, hobbies, and somewhat achievements.
but now since he completed that, he had to worry about actually applying and emailing up a job application.
matthew groaned, nervous about his future. what if his boss didn’t like him. what if he himself didn’t like his boss? life, i guess. matthew would have to still do it, find a way to get along. currently there were more pros than cons, working for this.. kim jiwoong. like, the way higher salary than his previous ‘job,’ he could make new useful connections, some relationships could bud too.
he could earn enough money to move out of his apartment and get a fancier apartment. or just buy a house.
maybe he'd get famous too. it's not like he wants to though.
he'd be going to work everyday, get up early, get home late. well, matthew doesn't actually know the schedule but that's what he assumes at least.
"if the guy im working for is rude. im done."
"maybe i'll see cute girls." matthew hasn't dated anyone since like highschool. he just didn't have a connection with them, they didn't resonate. (i wonder why.)
"okay so i'd be working in a very high role in the company. i'd have lots of authority? i think. i honestly don't really get how this works," he trailed off.
"I'll just go with whatever. I'll learn along the way," he says blankly.
“who should i email the application to?” matthew tilted his head and looked up, in thought.
“i’ll ask hanbin, even if i could just google it. i just need a reason to bug him,” the male smiled.
he went on his phone, opening up his contacts and clicking the message option.
me: hanbin hyung >:(
hanbin: waht
me: ok so like im done with my resume
me: i just need to send the application now
me: what email do i send it to
hanbin: uhhhhmm
hanbin: kjwoonnng@(insert the rest bc its a fake email!!)
me: oh thats a different one than what the company page says
me: hmm that does not say kjiwoong1412@jwco.com
hanbin: why tf would you ask me if you already know
me: because i can
hanbin: yk good thing you asked me
hanbin: just send it to this one
me: oh okay???
hanbin: im busy rn so like if you text me i wont respond quickly
me: mkay oh yeah right ur at work
me: oops my bad
hanbin: its something else but okay ig that’ll work
hanbin: helping hao rn
me: oh ok!! have fun
hanbin: ykw good enough bye bye!!
(a/n: did yall get it. but anyways hb gave matt jiwoong’s own work email not specficially the company’s usual email to set them up ofc. im saying this so you can understand in case you dont bc thats my only fear, writing smth and you guys dont catch on, and then you’re confused.)
he went back to his laptop, clicking the space bar a couple times to turn it back on since the screen timed out.
“okay kjwoonnng, with three n's,” he mumbled as he typed in the email name into the ‘to’ section.
“i need a job application template i have no clue how to do this… trust in google.”
he swiftly clicks copy and paste, filling in the blank idea spots and sentences.
also tweaking a couple parts so it'd make more sense, even adding a few more details about why he should be accepted and friendly-like words to seem appealing. the worst thing is to seem rude, right?
he spent some time one the email, giving it thought and thinking about his skills.
matthew attached the resume document with it, then closes off the email.
"okay reading over it…yeah i think its doable and pretty good. im done!" he stretches his arms briefly and the male then…
puts it in drafts.
"aaack i cant do this right now it's too early im scared. i'll send it later at night, yeah. i need to really contemplate the decisions i make. like what if they don't accept me for an interview."
"matthew, that's dumb shut up who thinks about that. okay at 9pm it is." he nods.
he went on with his day, listening to songs, watching videos, cooking, working out. until 9pm finally came.
he sighs, whining about how nervous he is. he drags his cursor to the send button… and clicks it.
“oH i sent it. okay now thats done.” he holds his hand over his heart dramatically.
“i think the others should be done with work by now?? wait no, they finish at like 10:30.”
matthew decides to just play some games, and he eventually fell asleep, screen timing out and turning off.
