"What's your name?" Jungkook asked me.
"I'm Yoona." I responded.
"Wow,Yoona,you have such a pretty name."
"Thank you." I responded, shyly.
"I like you."
"What?"
"I mean,your personality."

THE BEGINNING
"And why should we hire you?"the stern looking man asked,glaring at me.
I started. "Because I am dedicated and a passionate worker."
"Hmm..." The man grinned,while the other interviewers nodded their head along with him while he looked at the others as if to say it was out of his power.
He gave me a final look and then bowed.
"And if we hire you what can you offer to help the reading society grow."
"I'll .... " I started but stopped when a voice suddenly spoke stopping me from talking any further.
"Wait! you took a 5 year break from work why?" A voice echoed before me.
"Em..that was because I couldn't continue my work since my dad passed away and I had to relocate back to Seoul."I defended.
"Too bad,We can't hire someone who took a break and came back after 5 years. The work requires a lot of brain and strenuous muscle excercises and with this kind of body type I don't think you would be to do this work excellently."
"But.." I cut in as I wanted to give her an explanation.
She raised her hand as if to signal me to stop talking.
I felt the lump on my throat go down in fear. I had never been such a situation.
She looked up at me with a stern face and finally spoke up.
"I'm sorry,but this work is not for you."the woman finally broke the news.
I pressed my lips together as my hands shruddered in disappointment.
I guess I didn't get this one either.Will I be able to get a job at this rate?
"Thank you." I smiled,weakly as I bowed my head and left the room with different thoughts racing on my mind as to why I wasn't given a job.
I felt my heart sadden as I released air from my airways as I wiped the little teardrop that escaped from my tear trinkets as I encouraged myself that "It would be okay. This is just another challenge to my victory."
I decided to go back home since I was tired from standing all day in the queue. I learnt not to cry anymore whenever things don't go my way because when I was younger by Mom always told me that life was filled with disappointments and I should learn to live with that mindset so I won't get hurt when things doesn't go my way.
"Mom."
I called to my Mom who was engrossed at the magazine she was reading.Her eyes landed on mine finally.
