About 20 minutes before the end of her shift that she had gone on with six male and two female coworkers under commands of two managers.
All the staff members were gathered in a circle checking the done-list, when they were all being loud and joking. Shoving the roll of paper at each's head when they mocked about how one of them pretend to be the bride coming down from the aisle while the fake groom was already waiting down and how the two male looked like a perfect fit.
But Kyungsoo noticed one of the female coworker in an instant shrank back from the rest of the group, frozen in horror.
Kyungsoo walked towards her with curious attitude, but she couldn't find out. As it turns out, One of the managers who was on the shift with them, noticed too and that she was acting strangely after her leak and approached the troubled girl.
He said something in a low voice to her which no one could hear it, but them. However, before the girl whispering back, she hesitantly looked to her left then to her right and that resulted in them walking two feet's away from the crowd, which seems the manager suggested that.
And now the manager's lips moved once again, it was like asking a question carefully and gently. The girl nodded and lowered her head in surrender as if she had done a crime yet needs to be saved.
Surprisingly, a thoughtful expression appeared on the manager's face as he turned to the group and calls out to them.
"Hey, moonbyul's scraped her arm. I'm gonna tend to it but it's gonna be like five minutes. Just get to the road and call the car" he recalled.
They all picked their backpacks and shouted a get well soon to the red cheeked moonbyul as they soon disappeared from the front door of the fancy decorated wedding hall by them.
To Kyungsoo, the girl's concerns looked to be more than just a scratch. But soon she shrugged it off. Knowing she should mind her own business.
Kyungsoo pulled her hoodie over her head. She picked her bag just like everyone and bend down to grab the heavy box of cleaning products. She stood up as she held her breath because of the big weight she was holding.
"Excuse me. miss Kyungsoo!"
She heard the manager shouts firmly for her from where he was standing with the girl. She turned her direction and walked to their side.
"Yes, manager. Is there something I can do?" Politely asked Kyungsoo.
"Miss moonbyul needs your help"
But unfortunately, an air of metallics hits Kyungsoo's nose. And it hits her when she bent down to put the heavy box down on the sparkly clean floor. The tell-tale blood seeping through moonbyul's light denim jeans as what we all call, period.
"Miss moonbyul got on her period. Could you kindly help her in the bathroom?"
Kyungsoo's breath hitched and she blinked uncontrollably when how simple the word 'period' came out from his mouth. It was not like she should be embarrassed or anything. But that was the first time she heard it from a male.
'So that was the problem '
Kyungsoo nodded her head and flashed an assuring smile towards the poor girl. However, the girl looked down as not to get in contact with the manager's eyes.
But that wasn't all. The thoughtful manager also slid off his backpack and opened a pouch, asking her.
"Pads or tampons?"
Being just as surprised as Kyungsoo. The girl mumbled "pads please."
The manager pulls out two pads, the good kind, and a handful of wet-naps. He hands them to moonbyul as she took it with her both hands and lowered her head in a thankful manner. He then opens the main compartment and pulls out a long sleeve black t-shirt.
"Go in the toilet and take care of it, then tie the shirt around your waist."
He then pulls out a big band-aid and slaps it on her arm to keep up his cover story.
surrounded by men, at work and deal with cramps, headaches, backaches and sudden rushes of blood coming out of her, must've been so hard for her.
'More like hell on earth' Kyungsoo thought as she came out from toilet waiting for moonbyul to finish her work.
But it was a relief as the very prepared manager, thankfully, managed to find a way to help her without drawing any attention to the situation.
When Kyungsoo asked why he had menstruation products handy, he just said,
"I've been working with women for years, you think I'm stupid?"
Kyungsoo's eyes widened and shook her head.
"no sir. I'm sorry." She pulled her hoodie down her forehead as not to see her flushed cheeks.
it's nice to see a male dealing with a period leak as if it were no big deal and not making fun out of it. Kyungsoo found it very gentlemanly.
The three of them went out and catched with the group, where they were waiting inside the van. Kyungsoo lined up to go inside and out of her will, her eyes moved over to the perfect strict cold manager who helped moonbyul.
The corner of her mouth slightly lifted upward as she wondered how simple it is to say what people look like from what we see.
'There must be a warm world hiding behind this icy appearance. I wonder if I could see more of it.'
