the next day

it was nearly noon, and jisoo still hadn't woken up. he was supposed to be there around 12:15, so he wouldn't have much time to get ready.

when he did finally wake up, he sat up, stretching. he thought he was pretty early, and had some spare time.

however, he looked at the clock, panicking. it was 11:47. he ran into the bathroom, heading over to take a quick shower. on the way there, he tripped on the sofa.

this day was already looking pretty crappy, he thought.

he managed to make it into the shower without bumping into anything else, and he quickly washed and rinsed so he could get dry. he only had about 5 minutes now to get dressed and leave the apartment, so he had to rush and find some clothes.

it wasn't like he had time to choose, so he instantly settled for some light wash skinny jeans and a NASA tee and a light cardigan going up to his knees. he glanced in the mirror for a second before grabbing his car keys, phone, and wallet. he locked the door, running down the stairs even though he lived on the 7th floor of the 10-floor building.

jisoo unlocked his car from a small distance, running over to it as he did so. he drove a small red mini cooper, a gift he got from his parents after graduating college.

the drive to the melon building was relatively smooth, except for a small fit of road rage at a red light from two other drivers. luckily, he made it with 10 minutes to spare until his scheduled appointment.

he was stunned by the insides of the building when he walked in. the decor was all matched up, with everything fitting the color scheme of green and white. there were many people walking around, and they all looked so busy. as jisoo was approaching the reception desk, a younger-looking boy with pale brown hair and somewhat big eyes walked past, glancing at his outfit.

"nice shirt." the boy said before walking away to where he was going.

he had to be one of the models here, jisoo thought. he wasn't wrong, either. the kid had looks that could easily land him on a vogue cover, and a visible fashion sense to go with it.

when he got to the desk, he saw a picture of the same guy hanging on the wall, as well as some of other models from the agency. a good-looking boy, he thought.

the receptionist looked up from her computer, greeting him with a kind smile. she looked smaller, with long strawberry-blonde hair and bangs.

"hi! i'm jiwoo, what can i help you with today?"

"hi, i have an appointment with ceo kim at 12:15."

"ahh, you must be hong jisoo then! he's actually ready for you now, just go to the hallway on the right and his office is 5 doors down on the left side."

"thank you!"

"of course! have a good day."

"you too." he smiled at her before following her directions to finding ceo kim's office.

when he found the door, he knocked on it a few times, before hearing the door open. he entered the neat office, admiring all the professional work that was hung up on the walls. on the polished wooden desk read a name plate inscribed with 'Kim Junmyeon, CEO of Melon.' it appeared he was finishing a phone call, so jisoo stood patiently.
