06: Find It Together

A week later.

"I'm sorry to say this, but you better prepare and find a new job yourselves. I'm sure you've seen the news all around. Our company just got involved in a big media scandal— and unfortunately, its sister company doesn't have the guts to save it and mainly because you might know the reason yourselves. Apparently, they wanted to keep their own company clean; free from scandals. We need to close down. Either we'll start with a completely new one from scratch or continue this,"

Everyone went quiet for a moment as they were holding their breaths upon the announcement. Apparently, the company was involved in a scandal which includes scamming. But not only that; two board members were involved with a drug scandal.

"If we choose the latter, it will do us no good. People will remember us as scammers, and if we keep on producing our products while the amount of people who buys them are only counted, sooner or later we'll be running out of money. People won't be trusting this company anymore. Hence, we're choosing to permanently close this company. Until then, you never know." And that, the whole room was filled with a cacophonous chaos.

"What about our jobs? How are we gonna start all over?!"

"— And our payments?"

"This is so fucking unfair!"

— Those were just some of the replies of the disappointed workers upon hearing the dissatisfying news. Suho was caught in between the crowd as he struggled on finding Baekhyun and Chanyeol. He keeps on sighing to himself like could this day get any worse?

"This is such a pain in the ass," It didn't take him that long to spot them, special thanks to his bestfriend's voice that stood out the most. "This company is bullshit from the start anyways." He murmured.

"I can agree.. I mean, some of them do scam. Don't they?" Chanyeol looked at his boyfriend and then to his hyung.

"We will be giving you all your earn for this month, fully. Approximately by the end of the week."

Everyone wasn't happy or mad at the statement, instead it left their faces with a blank look. The boss then left in silence.  The workers left the room as well before starting their mass general cleaning or evacuating already.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Baek would you stop eating? I don't have the money to pay for that! We just lost our job."

Chanyeol scolded his boyfriend. The latter has ordered alnost half of the food in the menu, but his hunger seems insatiable. This is mainly the reason why the giant is irritated.

"Don't touch me! I am stress eating. How can I even find a new job now? You aren't doing any help, Park!" He replies back before hitting Chanyeol with the spoon he's using. Chen and Sehun later on join their table in silence.

"Sehun, why don't you help your Baekhyunnie hyung? You know a lot of job offerings right?" Suho asked before taking a sip of his awfully sour lemonade. To say the least he was more calm compared to the other employees' reactions.

"I'll try, hyung. But maybe I won't be working after this. I'll go to university once again," The youngest answered. Upon hearing his reply Suho responded with the question "Why?"

"To study engineering. I mean I've saved up enough money already. After all, this isn't going to be my main job." The older only nodded as the others blinked and went ‘Ah.’

For a small amount of time everyone else was silent, minding their own business and also contemplating about the situation. Chanyeol opened a new conversation, saying that he might work at another company whose record is clean and safe— unlike theirs. Chen is undecided, he might just be jobless for a couple of weeks or even months until he finds a stable one. Who knows?

"What about you, Suho hyungie?"

"I am hoping to be a call center agent for a small amount of time. But if I like it, I'll stay. Just hit me up if you found a job and need someone." Suho sighed wistfully.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Just as he was about to take his first step on his bedroom, Suho heard his phone ringing but he was unable to locate it. He had forgotten where he put his phone earlier— only listening to where the ringtone is coming from was his guide. Luckily, he found it on the kitchen counter.

Suho took a look at the number who's calling him. It was Chen, and it was no surprise. They had been calling each other for the past few nights. He just wonders what news Chen had brought for him this time.

"Hello Chennie, you called once again."

"Hyung I found a job offering at the nearby mall! This is perfect for us. They're looking for male supervisors. I heard the salary is quite good for a month. Do you want to try it out? I invited Baekhyun already. Pretty pretty please?" Chen seemed to be delighted— well, it was obvious from the tone of his voice. So the older thought, why not give it a try?

He replied with a yes and asked about the requirements. The younger gave him the information he needed and to his ultimate surprise, Chen already told him that he had submitted a copy of his resume, same with Baekhyun— and the troll did it without asking for their consent. He had their resumes because apparently he had connections.

What even made Suho more shocked was when he found out that tomorrow is the date of the interview already. It was urgent; things were happening real quick. It wasn't a bad thing though, it just feels like Suho is in a rush to catch up with everything all at once.

"Deal, hyungie? Don't worry, you can still sleep long enough because the interview is four in the afternoon. Let's all go together with Baek— that is if it's okay to you?"

Chen replied, smiling cheekily on the other side of the line where none could see him.

"Alright then Chennie. See you tomorrow."

The older had intentions of ending the call already, but Chen had other plans in mind. After the small talk about the search for a new job, they started talking about personal things. They could call it a long “chitchat” for they have talked for more than four hours. It was a really good time for both of them. The talk was full of their laughters, but Chen's shrieking one dominated.

They ended up sleeping at exactly 3:00 AM, sending each other off to sleep. Sleeping is a good friend of Chen, but the opposite is what Suho feels. He didn't think of it as insomnia though.

It was only more than a month since they met and became acquaintancees and eventually becoming good friends. They're both glad that their new friendship is quickly building up.
