Dappled Light [2yeon]

Chapter 2

Room A2, Polaris co-op

"Much better than I thought...." Jeongyeon wandered around the furnished room, it has a salty smell from the sea but its rather refreshing than her room back at South Korea. Jeongyeon has always wanted a room at Torshavn, however the business trip was too sudden and the company could not prepare much for her, so they actually found a Korean to rent a room for her as an apology. The furniture looks old and most of them are full of dust. I thought the landlady would help me to clean the room, it seems this room has been sleeping. "I should do the cleaning then." Jeongyeon happily rolled up her sleeves and tied up her shoulder length hair swiftly.

~1 hour+ later~

"All done!" Jeongyeon sighed, looking proudly at her perfect piece of work while smiling brightly. Oh god I smell bad. Jeongyeon felt wrinkles forming on her head, as she went to her luggage to gather her bathing-use items immediately. Knock! Knock! Someone was knocking on her door. "Coming!" Jeongyeon went to get door and it turned out someone unfamiliar. "Oh, hi! newbie. I'm here to remind you to come to the dining area before 6.30pm for dinner or else there won't be food for you." It's a new person! What's her name!?

"O-okay Ms....?" Jeongyeon tilted her head with full of questions. "Tell me yours first." Wait what? She stood there looking like an idiot, but the person in front of her just snickers. "I'm Mina, be sure to bathe quickly, Jeongyeon-ssi." She put a small smile, then waved at Jeongyeon and went away. Jeongyeon felt tension swelling in her chest gradually, maybe it's because she was not used to people showing affection or teasing her. She took a deep breath, letting it out silently as she closed the door. It's already 5.45pm, I should hurry. Jeongyeon doesn't like people waiting for her, she thought she was wasting their time.

Ground floor, Polaris Co-op

Jeongyeon went down here with her half-dried hair, which she kind of combed it to make it look neat. 6.15pm....I'm safe! But wait, where's the dining area? She scratched her head while walking towards the original place she came from. "Who are you!?" Jeongyeon heard someone gasped, followed by a small but fierce-sounding voice. She slowly glanced towards the living room, and saw three pair of eyes staring at her, confused. "I'm the new tenant here, my name is Yoo Jeongyeon, nice to meet you." Jeongyeon responded politely. The three of them still stayed silent and continued to stare at her.

This is awkward..... "Ahh, so you're the one who made Ms. Im acted weird just now!" The Blondie spitted out some shocking news. "Huh? That's her? I thought it was-" "Oh shut it, it's near dinner time, let's go." The girl stood up, switched off the television and dragged the Blondie with her, which the other girl followed behind them. Their heights are....interesting. Without waiting, Jeongyeon followed behind them to the dining area.

The tangy aroma that assaulted her sense of smell was making Jeongyeon hungrier as every second passes. Jeongyeon was not a really good cook, but she knew that the addicting smell originates from the soup at her left. Ah, it's her again. Jeongyeon stopped walking, just to take a good look on her. She looks hurt in agony. That was Jeongyeon's first thought. Short hair with chin length, the small lock of hair was just a curtain to cover up her beauty, she did not smile, but she stood out for Jeongyeon. She looked calm, but Jeongyeon knew she has a warm heart.

"Jeongyeon, please help me out!" Jihyo's voice popped her thoughts. The girl in her sweats sighed, seeing Jihyo struggling to get the canned corn on top of the shelf is funny. Jeongyeon went to her silently, reaching out to the canned corn over Jihyo's head and placed it on top of her palms. "Thank you!" She turned around and grinned, later excused herself. There isn't really any space for me to help, should I just sit down or- "Jeongyeon-ssi, could you help Chaeyoungie and Dahyun arrange the plates? Tzuyu went to help Ms. Im." Mina who was serving the rice onto the plates called out. "Alright." So the tall girl is Tzuyu....She looks like a doll.
