Dappled Light [2yeon]

Chapter 1

"The weather for tomorrow will be cloudy, please keep yourselves warm....." The sky was grey and the smell of wind kept Jeongyeon awake. The atmosphere was gloomy and kind of....sad? Jeongyeon can't tell apart. She thought, it's just her trying to fit into it. Jeongyeon felt nauseous because it was the first time she went somewhere with a ferry, and that's the reason she came to the docks to feel the breeze. It's two in the afternoon, but there's no sunlight at all. Jeongyeon sighed.

Jeongyeon did heard about some places that lack of sunlight but this is the first time she was travelling to there, well of course with business purposes. She pulled her headphones down as she listened attentively to her heartbeat pulsing with the calm waves, never have she thought listening to ocean waves could be soothing too. The flow of the breeze, the gentle sound of the waves, the typical smell of a sea...... Jeongyeon wished that she came here just for vacation.

Well, maybe next time. Jeongyeon thought and stretched her back. "Babe, look! We're near the island!" The couple meters beside her looked to their right simultaneously while gasping in shock. So this mean the ship is arriving in a few minutes, I should head back and get my things. Jeongyeon yawned while walking back, reminding herself that she should get enough sleep after reaching her temporary house.

Car-Ferry Terminal, Torshavn

"Three sharp...." The dark hair girl sighed, the warm air heated up her body a little. Staring at the crimpled piece of memo that her boss gave her , she smiled, knowing that she herself doesn't recognize the place at all. So, where am I gonna go? This place is vast. Jeongyeon was glued for a moment but then she realized that her boss gave her the landlady's number just in case she was lost. "I remember her number was...." Jeongyeon pouted and mumbled while keying in the numbers, lastly dialed for her number. Come on, pick it up...! I'm freezing here. The call eventually dies out, leaving her alone in the port without anyone helping.

Maybe she was in the toilet? I should call the landlady one more time. Jeongyeon picked up my phone again and key in the numbers slowly, her knuckles are cracking so hard that they turned white. "Heeey!! The lady over there!" It's not me, I don't know anyone here. Don't turn your head. "Oh my god I'm literally calling for you! Look over here!" The voice was nearer, and louder. Shit! It's getting closer now what should I do? Jeongyeon felt her head was light and couldn't think of anything to escape.

"Hello! umm, Ms. Jeongyeon.... is it?" Huh? Jeongyeon turned around upon hearing her name being called, and all she saw was a woman staring at her with an awkward smile. They shared an awkward moment until she came back to her senses. "Ahh! Ms. Im told me to guide you to the house, so here am i gonna take you there!" She grinned brightly. "Who's Ms. Im?" Jeongyeon asked carefully, because she doesn't want to get kidnapped. "Huh? The landlady who's gonna lend you a room, her house is at Hoyvik, the little village beside Torshavn." The woman looked at Jeongyeon with her pearl eyes. She's cute without that loud ass voice actually.

"Oh, alright then, Do guide me there, erm, Ms....?" "It's Jihyo, ignore the formalities, we are not that far apart!" Jihyo said. She knew my age? Did she got it from Ms. Im or she has superpower? Jeongyeon returned a stiff smile.

The scenery along was pleasing and heavenly, it felt like watching our own revolving scenic lantern. Evening mists shrouded around the little huts and hills and the sunlight pierced through them softly, as if someone was ascending to paradise. The view at Tinganes just now was nothing compared to this moment.

"So how about Tinganes?" Jihyo asked like she knew everything. "The government building gave me 1900s vibes where people wear fancy clothes but here, nothing can compete with the view right here, right now." Jeongyeon gave a straightforward answer and Jihyo just hummed and continued her drive. It's a good thing that Jihyo owns a Cabriolet Sedan, the soothing breeze was everything Jeongyeon needed. "We are almost there, look, if you can see the signpost, it means you only left about 3km to Ms. Im's house!" Jihyo pointed to the signpost which just past by Jeongyeon's side.
