House Of Cards (ON HOLD)

Chapter Three: Ukulele

June's POV

Today was one of those days that I wish I could be somewhere else. Working at the music store doesn't mean I was in the hopes of finding the passion I have for music in this little store, I sigh but also next week is the week where everything might change and hopefully for the better.

I check my phone quickly, there was nothing, not even from Namjoon, he's probably sleeping still.

"June, you can take your lunch break and check the instruments on your way to the back please, thanks" My manager smiles at me coming behind the counter.

"Will do, thanks" I mumbled bowing my head in respect, I walk around the counter and put my hair into a high ponytail, maybe I could grab lunch with Namjoon?

I pass by all the instruments and lastly looked at the ukulele shelf and of course the bottom one was crooked, I sigh tiredly. As I kneel down to fix it, I start to zone out a little bit. I then come out of my daze by a gasp and find a frightful sight in front of me. One by one all the ukuleles on the shelf are falling down. Quick on my feet I jump out just in time to catch them before they could reach the floor. Phew, I thought, that was really close. I relax my body and groaned before gathering all the instruments on my body and getting up to rearrange them. I start to check each ukulele to make sure they were damage free. Halfway through fixing the shelf, I felt a stare focused on me. I turn around slowly to glare at the person who might of cause this disaster in the first place. I made eye contact and immediately began to blush. My eyes began to wander the young man. He seemed to be my age. He was a lot taller than me. He had brown, medium-sized hair, and his face remind me of a bunny. I began to snap out of it, once he starts to walk toward me. I began to panic as he approaches.

"U-uh..I accidentally dropped them all on you," he said quietly, which made it almost hard to make out what he just said. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I immediately jumped, shocked by the sudden contact. I turn around and see that it's my manager.

"You alright there? I just saw what happened. Here I'll fix these, so you can go on break," my manager says sincerely. I sigh in relief and look back at the guy who supposedly cause this mini embarrassment of mine.

He starts to reach out for me, and I immediately shy back from him and begin to turn around, slowly walking towards the back door. I finally reach the door and go to open it, but then I feel someone grab my wrist.

"Excuse me, miss. I'm really sorry about what happened," I instinctively pulled my hand back away from the guy's grip and look down. I mumble that it's okay and quickly go inside the employee room. "Aish!" I thought to myself. I go towards the computer and punch in my time for lunch and then immediately call my best friend, Namjoon.

"Hello?" he answers right away, sounding worried.

"Yo. You won't believe what just happened at work" I breathe.

"Yah, why so angry?! What happened?" he says impatiently. I bit my lip nervously, hoping I didn't catch Namjoon at a bad time.

"U-uhm, I'm on lunch right now. Wanna have lunch while I explain to you?" I ask unsure of what he's going to say.

I hear him sigh, "I'll be there in a bit. This better be worth it cause you owe me." He hangs up and I quickly head outside to wait for him. I see his car in the distance and go to run towards him. Namjoon parks in front of the music store and gets out. We walk towards the ramen restaurant a few blocks down and sit down waiting for the person to take our order. Namjoon looks at me expectantly, waiting for an explanation for the sudden call. I can feel the table shaking from his leg bouncing up and down, sensing him getting more impatient by the second. I smile shyly and tell him everything that happened. Once I finished I looked up to see his reaction and found him shaking his head but smiling nonetheless.
