Imani's POV

"Today's session was a bit different from usual, but that's absolutely fine. And sadly today is our last session. I'll walk you out."

"Ok.."

"Oh and good luck on your job interview tomorrow!" I don't want to go.. but I have to I have no other place to stay.."thanks.."

"Seriously though I wish you the best of luck, this is a big step for you Imani" I hum in response and the rest of the time until Kate arrives

"So, good was your last session? Do you feel like you want more?"I enter the car and put on my seatbelt"no, not really" she sighs"ok but if you feel like you do just let me know,ok? It's totally up to you, But you'll have to pitch in a bit.." I hum and the car goes silent

"Are you hungry " she asks me as we drive by multiple fast food places "no" yes. Despite my words she pulls over into a Wendy's "i said I'm not hungry.." she sighs again and looks at me"yes you are and you're going to eat. Starving yourself to death isn't gonna be the cause, let's go" she turns off the car takes off her seatbelt and gets out

"Now.. what do you want?" She looks at me"better yet I'll choose for you"

"Here now let's go eat" she hands me the bag of food and we sit at the table "Imani, I really need you to try your best at this interview, ok? So please do whatever it takes for you to pass, but I really need you not to look sad on the inside and outside"

"Mhm"I begin taking the food out of the bag and placing it on the table"I'm serious Imani.." she snags a fry and places it in her mouth"yea I know.. I'll try my best" I stare at the food on the table"thank you, I don't mean to put pressure on you or anything it's just that rent is going up moneys been tight for me"

"Eat your food. Please?" Just because didn't want to hear her start begging me I started eating the food, it was good I haven't had food like that in a few months because she always tries to make sure I don't eat too much junk food

Later that night

Taehyung's POV

Right as I get to the door of the rooftop I blow out a puff of smoke"damn I can't wait to go home.. to nothing"I mumble to myself. In the distance I hear a foot frantically tapping on the ground, it can't be an employee because they aren't Allowed up here but if it is they're definitely gonna miss these paychecks.

I slowly walk towards the sound as it gets louder the closer I get. I peek around the corner and see a small and very thin girl holding a small knife in hand. I wince to myself as I watch her cut her wrists up. That's gotta hurt she doesn't even flinch she looks used to it..

I was about to turn away so that I didn't look like a creep as she got up with blood dripping down  her hand. But before I did she stepped up onto a chair and onto the edge of the building what the hell.. I watched as she lifted up her foot and begin moving to walk onto the thin air does she think she's god or something?

With out thinking I threw my blunt onto the ground hand ran towards her. Once I got to her I wrapped my arms around her legs  keeping her from moving"what are you doing get off of me! Just let me die! I want to die!" I slowly carried her off of the ledge and onto the ground

"Don't do it.. it's not worth it. You still have a whole life to live, dying shouldn't be your priority right now.."I turned her around to face me"there's people who love you. Think about your parents what would they do without you? Hm?" She shot her eyes up at me quickly"my parents are dead."

"Oh.." I gulped" I'm sorry. But I'm sure there some people out there who care a lot about you. Just don't do it. Live to see another day, I promise you'll love it.."

She stayed quiet as she looked into my eyes. It seemed like she was thinking about some but I just shrugged it off"stay here I'll be right back with bandages.."

After a few moments I was successful in finding some bandages for her wrist, so I ran back up to the rooftop only to find her gone. She's gone.. the small pretty girl she's gone she's no where to be seen

The next day

"Uh- M-MR.Kim, the interviewed are in your office waiting on you.. please slow down" my secretary gives me information"yea I got it no need for me yo slow down, you need to speed up." I hate her she's such a bitch ass whore she's always trying to get my attention and always being a know-it-all. Or maybe is that how she's supposed to act I don't know.

"Alright tell me everything I need to know" I stop abruptly and she shoves into my back "there are six interviewees four girls two boys all ranging from the age of twenty-two to twenty-five. Two have experience in working in and office two just have experience elsewhere, and two have never worked at all..."

"Mhm ok I'm going in now" I process the information quickly and then walk into the room."good morning everyone" a greet all of the people and they all greet me back "how's everyone's day going?" I look around as I get a mixed answer such as it was great or not good so far

"Well I'm Kim Taehyung as you may already know, MR.Kim to you all though, let's see I'm 26 you probably already know that and I just recently got this company passed down to me from my father a year ago. Now everyone introduces themselves name and age. Let's start with you" I point to a young boy

"Uh, I'm Jacob mere, and I'm 23"

"I'm May brown, and I am 22"

"Isabel heart, and I'm 25"

"My names Tim jack, and I'm 22"

"I'm autumn feller, I'm 24"

And now the last girl. "..I- uhm... my name is Imani... rose, and I am also 24.." she looks a but familiar, like the girl from last night familiar, I doubt it but she's just as thin as her and they look about the same height.."Imani what a lovely name. Shall we get to the basics?"

"We will go down to the training room in a little, and see how much you all know alright? This room is to just see how well you work in an environment like this, If I don't view you as a good fit for this company then I have no choice but to let you go and you'll have to find some better luck"

"This here is the training room, here you will practice working at reception answering the phone, looking at my calendar as well as the company's Calendar making sure I'm not to busy or that my calendar isn't too full, you'll be helping my secretary here schedule meeting for me, and a few of you might be working down in customer service.." I look around at everyone of the people I front of me

"So everyone pick a desk to sit in and we'll get started.."

Later

"So Ms.heart Ms.brown and Mr.mere you three have passed. Unfortunately Ms.feller and Ms.rose you two have not, I am sorry for wasting your time here today.. Ms.mane has prepared a lunch for this two of you to grab on your way out, I
hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.."

Imani's POV

"Can you go get pads and tampons for me? I'll wait right here for you.." Kate suddenly turns to me"ok.." I turn away from the cart and part my ways from her and walk towards the feminine hygiene aisle

"Sorry.."I bumped into someone causing all of their stuff to fall"I'll pick it up.."I bend down to the floor picking up all of the things dropped before handing them to him With my head down

"Imani?" I move my head up quickly to look at the man"I-it is Imani isn't it"I nodded my head slowly"sorry you didn't get the job.."why is he so handsome? "It's fine.. i didn't want it anyway.." as I looked into his eyes he seemed to be embarrassed, I wonder why..

"Oh.."

"Imani?" I hear Kate calling my name as she rounds the corner with a hint of worry in her voice"you scared me why'd you take so long? it wasn't that far from where we were" I just stared at her and the man "who are you?" Kate turns her head to the man

"Ah, I'm Kim Taehyung"I watched her as she narrowed her eyes at him"yea I know that but how do I know it's really you? How do I know you're not some fake with a good mask on?"

"Never mind I'll be on my way then" he walks past the both of us and doesn't look back

"Let's go get the stuff then we're leaving, ok?"
