chap 3

flashback to a few days ago...

"Kai, Guess what!!!" the guy exclaimed, clad only in his nightdress as he lay on the bed, phone in hand. His voice echoed through the line, filled with excitement or perhaps mischief.

The person's excitement was palpable in his voice as he shouted through the phone. "I got an application from the biggest company!!!" he exclaimed, bursting with joy. The news seemed to fill him with so much happiness that he couldn't help but express it through a childlike display of excitement. He enthusiastically kicked his feet on the bed, his legs flailing in the air with each kick, showcasing the sheer exuberance that filled his being.

"what really???you mean the bighit company???" kai from the other side asked as the guy nodded his head repeatedly, "yessss!!"  the guy confirmed eagerly, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "It's Bighit Company! Can you believe it?" he exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.

"That's great beomgyu, i knew you would succeed one day," the person complimented him.

 Beomgyu smiled, feeling a sense of pride and reassurance at the compliment. "Thank you," he replied, appreciating the encouragement. But his expression soon shifted as he pondered the circumstances surrounding his unexpected job offer at Bighit Company. "You know, it's kind of odd," he mused. "I didn't even apply for a job there, and they still hired me just based on my student record. It's quite fascinating, really."

"Your academic achievements and skills were excellent during university, and I suppose that's why they showed interest in you." Beomgyu nodded in agreement. "You're likely right," he replied. "I have an interview scheduled in two days, and I must admit, I'm feeling quite nervous about it."

"don't be nervous; i know you can do it" kai said, encouraging him. "yes!!I'll give my best shot." With determination in his voice, Beomgyu added, "I will practice beforehand." Kai responded, wishing him luck. "Yes, all the best!" Kai added before their conversation seamlessly transitioned to other topics. 

On the day of the interview, Beomgyu took extra care to prepare. He examined himself in the mirror, ensuring every aspect of his appearance was flawless. He was dressed in a perfectly tailored office suit, complete with polished shoes, and his brown hair was meticulously styled. With a firm grasp on the documents in his hand, he took a deep breath and stepped out of the house, his heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

Beomgyu had been anxiously sitting in the waiting area, his mind running through every possible outcome of the impending interview. The waiting was driving him crazy, but he tried his best to take deep breaths. Suddenly, a man spoke up, breaking the silence. "It's your turn," he said. Beomgyu snapped back to reality and stood up, gathering his documents and steeling his nerves for the interview that was about to begin.

Beomgyu stepped through the door and entered the room, feeling a gust of cold air as he did so. A chill ran through his body, but he took a deep breath and mustered his courage. With nervous steps, Beomgyu made his way to the center of the room, looking down, standing tall and trying to compose himself before the panel of interviewers.

As Beomgyu raised his head, his gaze met that of a familiar face sitting directly opposite him. The moment their eyes met, time seemed to stand still, and a swarm of memories flooded his mind. His heart rate quickened, the pace of his heartbeat accelerating like never before. He was struck by a mixture of surprise and nostalgia, overwhelmed by the unexpected encounter.

"Yeonjun." Beomgyu's voice escaped his lips, a mere whisper that was barely audible, Beomgyu froze momentarily, his mind struggling to process the unexpected appearance of Yeonjun before him. Suddenly, the person sitting beside Yeonjun spoke up. "You may begin," they said, jolting Beomgyu back to reality.
