park jiwon's eyes flickered open to the irritating sound of her alarm. she unwillingly glared to the blaring bright light and groaned. she slapped her hand aggressively on her phone and covered her figure with the covers. suddenly, one word came to her mind.

interview

she opened her eyes ajar and jumped out of bed. today was the day that jiwon would be taking part in an interview for a position at jeon corp. she was in need for this job, for she was not too stable financially. although, she was blessed to at least have a small but comfortable apartment.

jiwon entered her bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. she looked her reflection, trying to encourage herself for the day. she smiled weakly and opened her shower. she bathed for around seven minutes and put on her clothes.

the attire at the workplace was not very formal as other businesses. workers were expected to wear something professional but also comfortable. so jiwon went with a simple look: a beige blouse with black polk-a-dots and slim black slacks. she paired them with some black pumps and a necklace that she treasured dearly.

she applied a natural look of make-up on her face, as if it was a canvas. she looked at her circular standing mirror happily and did her hair. she blow-dried it then straightened it.

she finally headed out and waited patiently for her uber driver to arrive. she sat on a black bench while she prepared herself mentally. the wind was calm, and the weather felt a bit chilly.

honk honk

jiwon looked up, startled, and found her gaze upon a car.

"erm, excuse me. are you park jiwon, by any chance?!" a lady in the car said in a soft but loud voice.

"oh, yes. thank you." she said awkwardly. she stepped into the small vehicle and it drove off.

the drive lasted around eight minutes, which was fortunate since jiwon did not have to pay much or drive far from work. she thanked the driver and left a tip. even if jiwon didn't have much money, she still helped others with her small amount.

she pushed through the glass doors and breathed in the air of the building. she let out her breath and walked towards the man in the front desk.

"good morning ma'am. how may i assist you today?" he asked politely.

jiwon stuttered, "i-erm-i'm here for a interview with mr. jeon." the man nodded and smiled, "one moment." jiwon nodded in agreement.

the man held up a phone to his ear and dialed a few buttons. "hello? yes, mr. jeon, ms. park ji- oh. it's only- okay, alright. she'll be right up sir." jiwon wondered why the man was interrupted constantly by the man.

"mr. jeon would like to see you now." he led you to the elevator and pressed the very top button, the button labeled 13.

they waited quietly for the elevator door to ding. after a while, it did and they exited through the automatic doors. he led her to the door at the very end of the extensive hall. he knocked softly on the door and opened it.
