DAMN!!!

Why does this kind of possibility never cross my mind? I feel like I've lost all Korean words that I know.

"Hi! Are you Areum-ssi?"
"Yes! Hi! Jung Ilhoon-ssi"

Jung Ilhoon.

I composed myself first before getting into business. He kinda distracts me because the man whose in front of me is very different. He radiates too much seriousness that anyone can be intimidated. I understand though this is about his sister's business.

And because of too much nervousness.

"I'm sorry"
"It's okay"

I just want to disappear. I think he corrected me no, actually my pronunciation, almost 10000 times. Maybe right now he is thinking how did his sister finds an incompetent employee.

So proud of myself. Maybe I gotta find a new job tomorrow.

'Calling Yujin...'

"Yujin it is already sign."
"Copy! Congrats gurl! By the way you don't have any schedule right?"
"Hm..."
"You can just enjoy the rest of the day."
"Oh thanks!"

I feel so drained after what happened so instead of roaming around downstairs I'd choose to go back home.

Then the memories from earlier started to sink in.

NAKAKAHIYA!!

Seriously! It looks like Ilhoon is also not in the mood earlier or possibly I pissed him off. Argh!! I just keep tossing myself here in my bed.

And wait for Yujin to deliver me the news. Maybe gotta search for a new job.

She's here!

"Ellie!! Watcha doin?"
"Hm. Nothing."

I immediately close my laptop.

"Anyways, Arin told me she will be very busy the following days..."

Okay this is it. I'm getting fired.

"So please adjust her sched for the week if it cant be helped, be in-charge in behalf of her."

Ohhhh

"Well if I don't have sched will help you."
"Okay! Thanks."

Whoo! Still safe. I still have my work.

Months have passed but I can still remember the series of unfortunate events featuring Jung Ilhoon.

There are series of meeting happens since the company is planning for expansion, there are times that we have schedules left and right. However, Arin is also busy with overseas commitments, so Ilhoon is in charge in behalf of his sister.

I remember one time Yujin is supposed to have a meeting with Arin but it happens to have a conflict with her schedule so in behalf of her, Yujin sends me to meet Arin. Unfortunately, Arin is not available as well that day and you know what happens next. Ilhoon comes again in behalf of her.

I feel like my soul left my body when I saw him coming. Is this how fate plays with me??

I made sure not to repeat the same mistakes again. Job well done! I thought.. but maybe fate really loves to play dirty up to the very last second. My clumsy self says 'hello' loudly and *boom* I spilled my coffee in my skirt.

Hello Stup-ID.

And a lot more embarrassing stories about my stupidity in front of Jung Ilhoon that I want to bury.

I really wonder if he was just peolonging my agony and taking all his time before he surprise me and asks his sister to fire me. Wow.
