The school’s common area was a hive of activity, buzzing with the lively chatter of students during their break. The sunlight poured through the large windows, casting a warm glow over the bustling space. Taehyung, 21, with his youthful energy and mischievous smile, was animatedly discussing something with his friend Jimin, who sat across from him at a round table cluttered with textbooks and coffee cups.
“Jimin, you won’t believe it!” Taehyung’s voice brimmed with excitement, his eyes wide and expressive. “I just got an offer for an internship at JJK Group!”
Jimin’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “Seriously? That’s amazing! I didn’t even know you’d applied. How did it go?”
Taehyung’s grin grew even wider. “I kept it a secret because I didn’t want to jinx it. I had the interview last week, and they called me yesterday with the offer! I’m going to be working in their marketing department—handling social media campaigns and market research.”
Jimin leaned forward, his expression a mix of admiration and interest. “Wow, that’s huge! But guess what? I’ve got news too. I also applied, and I just got the call this morning. They offered me a spot in their finance department!”
Taehyung’s eyes widened in surprise and delight. “No way! That’s fantastic, Jimin! We’ll be at the same company!”
Jimin’s face lit up with relief and joy. “I was so nervous waiting for the results. It’s a huge opportunity for both of us. And now that we’re both going to be there, it feels like everything’s falling into place.”
Taehyung’s excitement was palpable. “Absolutely! We can support each other and figure things out together. It’s going to be such a great experience.”
The two friends began discussing their upcoming roles in detail. Taehyung’s energy was infectious as he outlined his responsibilities—creating engaging content for social media, analyzing marketing trends, and contributing to creative campaigns. Jimin, though more reserved, was equally enthusiastic about his finance role, which involved financial analysis, budgeting, and reporting.
“Do you have any idea what your first day will be like?” Jimin asked, sipping his coffee thoughtfully.
Taehyung shrugged, his face a mix of excitement and nervousness. “Not exactly. I know there will be an orientation and some training sessions. I’m excited but a little anxious too. It’s such a big step.”
Jimin nodded understandingly. “I feel the same way. It’s going to be a lot to take in, but I’m sure we’ll manage. We’ve always tackled challenges together, remember?”
Taehyung’s eyes softened with appreciation. “Yeah, we’ve been through a lot together. I’m really glad we’re both starting this new chapter at the same place.”
Their conversation turned to the practicalities of starting their internships—what to wear, what to bring, and how to make a good impression. Taehyung’s parents lived in another city, leaving him to navigate this new experience largely on his own. Jimin’s presence was a comforting constant in his life, a reminder of their long-standing friendship and shared experiences.
“So, what’s your plan for the rest of the day?” Jimin asked, breaking into Taehyung’s thoughts.
Taehyung’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “I was thinking of hitting the mall to pick up some new clothes for the internship. Maybe we could grab lunch afterwards?”
Jimin grinned, his mood lightening. “Sounds like a plan. I could use a shopping trip and some good food to celebrate.”
The two friends packed up their things and left the common area, their spirits high. They wandered through the bustling mall, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and discussing their upcoming roles with increasing excitement. Taehyung’s playful nature emerged as he tried on various outfits, making jokes and encouraging Jimin to do the same.
Over lunch, they reflected on their journey so far, reminiscing about their childhood and the bond they had built over the years. Their conversation was filled with laughter and camaraderie, reinforcing the strength of their friendship.
As they parted ways at the end of the day, Taehyung’s mind buzzed with anticipation for the internship. Despite the challenges ahead, he felt a sense of optimism and readiness. The future held great promise, and he was eager to embark on this new adventure with Jimin by his side.
Their paths were set for an exciting journey, and though they were unaware of the twists and turns awaiting them, Taehyung and Jimin’s shared excitement marked the beginning of a significant chapter in their lives.
