You Are My Hope

Finding Love in the Night

"Oh my goodness... this boy is unbelievable!" J-Hope exclaimed, unable to suppress the amusement that burst forth at Seung Jo's earnest confession.

"Hyung, come on! I'm serious!" Seung Jo protested, his expression earnest yet a hint of embarrassment creeping up on his cheeks. 

J-Hope chuckled, shaking his head gently. "Seung Jo, it's not that simple. Hyesoo is my employee, and I can't just share her personal information like that."

Meanwhile, back at DreamWorks, Hyesoo was at her desk, her mind buzzing with thoughts from her day. She had enjoyed her first day, but the stress of the past continued to haunt her.

The weight of Hyesoo's thoughts pressed heavily upon her as she is thinking, her fingers hovering above the keyboard. 

"Should I cast a spell on one of the employees?" she thought, the idea taking root as a mischievous consideration, a temptation from the depths of her restless mind. 

"No," she whispered under her breath, shaking her head forcefully. "That would be wrong. What good is a love born from magic? They would just break apart once the spell wore off."

The clock on the wall ticked down, a relentless reminder of time slipping away. 

As the clock neared 6 PM, the buzz of the office began to quiet, the lively chatter dwindling as employees wrapped up their tasks and prepared to head home. 

Arriving home, she was met with a medley of scents wafting from the kitchen. Suji was already cooking, a feat in itself considering the state she had been in the previous night.

"Hey, look who's back!" Suji called out, her voice bright as a smile spread across her face. She wiped her hands on a kitchen towel and set down the spatula. "I made dumplings. Care to join?"

"Absolutely," Hyesoo replied, happier at the sight of her sister's slight recovery. They settled at the table, steam rising from the fresh dumplings, creating an inviting atmosphere.

As they settled at the table, Hyesoo couldn't help but let out a contented sigh, her fatigue evident in the lines etched across her forehead and the slight droop of her shoulders. Suji, ever observant, caught the weariness in her sister's eyes.

"Hey, you look a bit worn out. What's wrong?" Suji asked, concern coloring her voice as she took a seat across the table.

Hyesoo hesitated, her mind swirling with the tumult of emotions that had accompanied her first day at DreamWorks. 

"I just..." Hyesoo began, her fingers absently tracing the rim of her bowl. "I want a boyfriend."

Suji blinked in surprise, nearly choking on the juicy dumpling she was about to devour. "Wait, what? You want a boyfriend? Seriously?" she exclaimed, her eyes wide. 

Suji leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued. "Hyesoo, do you really want a boyfriend that badly?"

"Yeah," Hyesoo finally admitted, a hint of uncertainty creeping into her voice. "I mean, it's just... I feel like everyone around me is dating or at least talking to someone, and I'm just here, feeling a little left out." 

Suji raised her eyebrows, immediately sensing the shift in Hyesoo's mood. "You know what? Leave this food here. Come on, let's get you ready to go out!"

Hyesoo blinked, momentarily taken aback. "Wait, what? Go out? Where?"

"Trust me," Suji said, her voice bubbling with energy. "I know a couple of places nearby, and there's bound to be someone interesting.

Excited and a little nervous, Hyesoo found herself in the passenger seat of Suji's car as they drove towards the nightclub. 

"Let's go, superstar!" Suji teased, linking her arm through Hyesoo's as they made their way inside.
