Forget Me Not [ satzu ]

The next morning, Eunbi woke up with a headache. Massaging her temple, she then sat and noticed the unfamiliar room.

'Wait, this is not my room. This is not my clothes either.' Eunbi thought and looks around. She was on the verge of panicking 'til her gaze landed on the picture frame on the bedside table.

"Okay, I'm just overreacting." She chuckled and tries to recall how she gets there and why she was wearing someone's clothes.

As she was on her deep thought, Yiren walks in with a smile.

"Hey, how do you feel?" Yiren asked as she sat beside her.

"Just a bit of headache. Anyway, why am I in your room?" Eunbi asked.

"You got wasted and you hurled last night..." Yiren thrilled off as she stops the urge to laugh before she continued. "You hurled on Dylan."

Surprised, Eunbi's eyes widened.

"I did? Yiren-ah... that was embarrassing." Eunbi said while covering her face with her hands.

"No, it's not. It was...fine." Yiren said and bit her lip, but still burst out laughing.

"You said it's not then, why are you laughing?" Eunbi said and rolled on the bed.

"Sorry, I just thought you guys will kiss last. It turns out you are about to puke." Yiren said.

"Yiren-ah," Eunbi cried.

"What? I can't help it. Hahaha. I'm not laughing at you though I was laughing at him. Anyway, so uhm... He brought you here and I did the rest." Yiren explained. She then invited Eunbi downstairs for some chicken soup to aid her hangover.

"Where is Dylan?" Eunbi asked when she noticed the guy's absence.

"He already left. His friend fetches him earlier." Yiren replied.

Later that afternoon, the two girls headed to the Sapphire Corp. and separated their ways as they reached the company.

As she was heading to their office, she noticed that everyone is smiling at her and welcoming her. She could only smile back, not wanting to give them a bad impression.

Reaching their office, she then greeted her boss as she entered the room.

"Good morning, Ms. Chou," Eunbi said. The boss just frowned at her.

"It's 15 minutes to go before the clock ticks to five in the afternoon and you still call it morning?" Tzuyu bluntly asked, clearly displeased at her action.

"Ops! I'm sorry," Eunbi replied.

"Why aren't you picking up your phone?" Tzuyu asked while looking at her.

"Hmm?" Eunbi glanced at her boss, confused at what she was saying.

"You are a newly hired employee yet you are already acting like some sort of celebrity. Do you find your job important or what?" Tzuyu asked as she crossed her arms.

Eunbi, on the other hand, was confused at her boss's wordings. She just made a mistake on her greeting why does it seem like it was a big deal. As she was about to rebut, Tzuyu resumed talking.

"Check your phone. I've been calling you last night and you never pick it up. You did not reply to my messages either." Tzuyu said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were calling. I was not expecting any message so I did not bother opening my phone." Eunbi replied honestly.

"Excuses, excuses," Tzuyu said and turned to her laptop. She was upset last night, thinking what her secretary was doing that she can't pick her phone.

'I'm not lying though. This long-leg Yoda. Why is she so savage?' Eunbi thought.

"What are you waiting for?" Tzuyu asked, startling her.

"Go to your seat and start working. I don't like lazy people." Tzuyu added.

As Eunbi was arranging some stuff. She pulled the ladder on the side in need to place some folders on the top row of the tall shelves, oblivious that her boss was observing her every move.

While Eunbi was busy with her task she accidentally tripped causing her to slide. In fear, she closes her eyes and waited to fall to the ground.

To her surprise, she felt a pair of arms holding her instead of the hard tiles.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and met Tzuyu's dark one. She was lost in the moment as their faces were close to each other and she couldn't form a word.

The two were like having a staring contest 'til Tzuyu spoke.

"Careful. Next time check where you are stepping at. You might hurt yourself. You clumsy squirrel." Tzuyu said without pulling away.

As for Eunbi, her heart beats faster for an unknown reason.

"Thank you, Miss Chou. Uhm... Y-you may now put me down." Eunbi said awkwardly.

As Tzuyu placed her down, the younger one then returned to her seat without saying a word.

As for Eunbi, she held her chest and restart working with her heart beating rapidly.
