Taste Of The Divine

Your Eyes... Irresistible

Wake up feeling Yejin's finger poking my face.

- Are you awake?
- Hum? Yejin, what are you doing? - I feel a bit angry because of what she does.
- Yes! You're awake! Guess what arrived on my e-mail.
- Ah... I don't know, tell m... - I couldn't finish.
- IT'S JYPE'S E-MAIL!! AAAAAHH! Come down here, I still haven't opened it. I wanted to open with yours.

I yawn and get down off the bed. I pick up my phone to see it. Yeah, it's there for me too.

- Come on, open yours and I open mine. On 3, 2... 1!

We open the e-mail together. I read what is saying and there is a date and hour to get there for an interview.

- October 15th, at 8 a.m. Ok, glad they put it on a weekend.
- We need to remember to not hang out.
- We will. It's in the morning. But what time is it now?

I look at the clock. It's almost time to go to class, so I go dress up.

[...]

Going to lunch, something comes to my mind.
- Yejin. Do Joon and Taemin know about this job?

Yejin stops for a moment.
- Oh! - Her face looks surprised.
- So they didn't. - She looks at me and shakes her head in disbelief.
- Are you going to tell them? I think they need to know.
- NO! They gonna ask why we didn't told them!
- Yeah, they will. We totally forgot about them. But they gonna see us going to work, we can't lie everytime.
- Ahr... I hate when you're right...
- So... Are we gonna tell them now?
- I feel I'm not prepared... - She rubs her hands on her face.
- Well, I have decided. I'm gonna tell.
- So YOU do.
- Ah, Yejin... - I shake my head. It's up to me, now.

We get into the cafeteria and find Joon first. We talk about the day while take our lunch and sit. I thought that Taemin would take a while before sitting with us, but there he comes with his lunch too. I did not had time to think about how to explain to them, if they get mad.

He sits and get into the conversation. I start to get nervous. Taemin and I have a great bond. Despite the different classes, we share about a lot of things when we have some time together. He's been a good friend all this time.

Yejin looks at me. She's moving her eyes, making them point to the boys. I take a breath and break the conversation.

- Guys, I have something to tell. - They both stop talking at the same time and stare at me. - Well, um... It's about me and Yejin, um... We're getting a job!

I say the last part quickly. They keep staring at me. I almost can see the gears working on their heads.

- So... - Joon is the first to break the silence. - Where?
- We're thinking about JYPE's. I saw a sign the other day, when we were hanging out and we subscripted for an interview.
- Okay, this is cool. But the classes? The projects? What you're gonna do? - Taemin looks really concerned.
- I know. I thought the same. But we'll figure out what to do, don't worry.

Taemin sighs
- If you say so...
- We're fine, Taemin. Lilian, what do you think about going there today, just to know the best route and don't get late on the first day?
- Yeah, it can be good.

A couple minutes after we finish our lunch, we search on the Map the best route and follow.

- Here. - We get out of the bus and start to walk.
- Lilian... What I see is real?

Yejin stops. Her expression is something between surprised and terrified.

- Yejin? What? You're scaring me.
- Look...

I look at where se points and see some guys coming out of the building. It's her favorite group, Stray Kids. Or some of them. We keep standing and looking at the guys. They seem to be very relaxed and one of them smiling after telling something funny. He looks at us before getting into the van. We make eye contact.

He looks kinda cute.

The van goes down the street after the boys get in. We're still here, like the world was paused. I make the first move, looking at Yejin.

- So... - I break the silence. - Are we going back to UNI now or keep standing here?

Yejin looks at me releasing her breath.

- You saw that, right? - She looks at me with a bit of tears in her eyes.
- Yes, I did.
- So I'm not going crazy... No, no! I AM going crazy, Lilian! Lilian, we saw them! - She grabs my arms and shake it a bit, her tears coming down.
- Ok, I know, I'm here too! But you're hurting me, Yejin! - She realizes and release my arms. - I can't believe we are really here... - She wipes her eyes with her fingers.
- Yeah, and we're going to work here, I guess. Don't you scare them.
- Hahaha! I won't, I promise.
