From Nothing to Something

Chapter 7

it was different from what i expected, i didn't expect that i would get the job right away. but not only that, everyone who worked here seemed dead, no not in a creepy way. they just seemed bored and annoyed all the time.

i walked in the elevator, a bit nervous since it was the first day that i work here. as i pushed on the button i felt like i was being checked out, i grabbed a lipstick and fixed my make up. with the help of sooyoung i was able to do it and i was getting better at it. i felt uncomfortable and swear silently since i was wearing a skirt.

i put a layer of lipstick on my lips but then i felt a hand on my thigh, i jumped and the lipstick fell on the ground. the person picked it up but he was trying to look under my skirt too.

''what are you doing?'' i said, frowning. the guy got up and gave me my lipstick back. ''what? i was just picking up the lipstick you accidentally dropped. you should be thankful.''

i rolled my eyes. ''it was obvious that you were checking me out.''

the guy scoffed. ''who told you to wear such a skirt then? if you don't want to get checked out then don't wear such revealing clothes, and if you do you're asked to be checked out.''

''who are you to say that? i wear whatever i want, it doesn't matter how i dress it's none of your business.''

the guy gasped and raised his hand to slap me but someone grabbed his hand and twisted it, the guy yelped in pain. ''bold of you to slap someone in a public place. we're living in the 21st century and we're still using violence. that is low.'' he let go of the guy's arm and walked out of the elevator when the doors opened, i realised that that was the floor where i had to work so i got out too.

''you're new right?'' he asked, looking at me. i nodded. ''yes-''

''hm, okay'' he took off his jacket and wrapped it around my waist. i was taken aback a little by his action but regained my posture. ''thanks.'' i mumbled.

''no problem, my name is min yoongi. i'll be leading you around the company.''

''oh...nice.''

''what is your name?''

''park jae eun.'' i said. he nodded and we walked towards my workplace. ''we all work here, well i need to correct that. i work here, since i'm the only one who's working in this whole company. there are in total 15 people which isn't a lot, and it doesn't surprise me because this company isn't famous either. but i hate it, no one does shit.''

he kept rambling about everyone and everything that i slowly lost interest about it. ''...so what do i need to do? i don't really have an experience in anything.''

''are you good at drawing?''

''yes.''

''do you like fashion?''

''yes.''

''good.'' he grabbed papers and a pencil. ''start drawing then, i'm working on a new design but i think i would need your help.

''okay, but what about the ceo of the company?''

''she doesn't do shit.''

i shrugged. ''okay, i'll get started i guess.''

''my first design was 2 cool 4 skool.'' he showed me the outfit sets, he sighed after that. ''but not many people liked it. they said that it looked like trash.''

''who are 'they'?''

''everyone who breathes.'' yoongi said. ''ah, it was not like i was expecting something. i just want to live a great life. i don't think we'll get big or something.'' he laughed.

''you could be the ceo if this ceo does nothing.'' i suggested. he shook his head. ''that's not how it works.''

''i think we'll get bankrupt soon.'' he continued. ''well, we'll try till the end. even if there's nothing in the end. i'll still give my everything.''

i smiled. ''inspirational.'' he only hummed in response. ''sorry i talked a bit too much didn't i?''

''oh, no you didn't.'' i lied. yoongi sighed in relief. ''you seem like a decent human being, well let's work then.''

when i sat down i saw the girl beside me doing makeup. is that what they're doing all day? i shook my head and began to work. she scoffed when she saw me working. ''loser.''

i looked at her and just rolled my eyes before continuing. but then yoongi came to our way, he sat down next to me. her eyes widened before she pushed the makeup towards me. ''she was doing makeup!''

i looked at her in disbelief as yoongi was looking at me too. ''sorry, it's my fault. i'll throw these makeup products right away.'' i said. i walked towards the bin and threw it into the bin. the girl's eyes widened and gasped, wanting to say something but she kept her mouth shut.

''then i'll go and work now.'' i said.

it was fun to work with him, he was strict when it comes to work but we became good friends and we hang out a lot together. i also got better in designing and we already had many outfits in our thoughts.

''okay everyone, i have something to say to everyone.'' the ceo said. everyone formed around her. ''we're going bankrupt, i think it's the best for all of us and i can't give the salary because that's almost impossible for me to do now.''

everyone was shocked, they knew that it wouldn't be easy for them and that it would go bankrupt anytime. but they didn't expect it to be that soon.

''i'm sorry, i've not been a good boss. i'll do my best to still give salary but i want you guys to still work for a week since yoongi and jae eun are busy with a new concept and maybe it will help us.''

''we're almost done with our new concept, i'm actually really excited about it.''

''me too, you improved a lot, jae.'' yoongi said, approving. i smiled. ''you helped me a lot too.''

''let's go out.''

i choked on my saliva and yoongi blushed. ''i didn't mean it that way, i meant it as friends.''

''oh yeah sure...''
