Chapter 5: "I will keep you to that"
"Have a seat Ms. Su"
Please Buddha, God, WHOEVER IS OUT THERE!
Help me....
"Good day Mr. Ha"
"Do you know that tardiness is not allowed?"
"I do apologize for my tardiness-"
"We also do not allow Excuses"
JUST FREAKING GREAT
What was she to do then?
She was sincerely sorry for being late but she could not explain why she was late.
"Anyways, Since you are here now I will overlook this flaw. Let us begin"
SNOB.
15 minutes was spent going over Soyeon's resume'. The man before her had a keen eye and looked at every detail. Asking questions to test her level of knowledge and monitoring her body language as she answered.
"You are very impressive Ms. Su but-"
BUT?!-
"You do know that many businesses are looking for experienced workers...."
"I know that very well Sir but, I believe that I can bring a fresh feel to this company. I mean no disrespect to experienced workers but they all have a robotic way of doing things. They will bring what they have learnt over the years. The ideas will constantly be repeated and the way of thinking may become stagnant. I know that I am young and older folks may look down on me for being new but I sincerely believe that my fresh and willing personality plus my age can be beneficial. I as a teen can bring in a younger age range which can raise the profits of the company."
The dark gaze of the mans eyes lingered on her face.
This woman was really interesting....
The gaze that she carried was so mature yet, unknown.
She sat with authority, A woman with a purpose.
"Ms. Su"
Please let the prays of Ms. Jeon and Mr. Kim reach the ears of Buddha!
"Welcome to Jinsang Law Firm!"
Tears formed in her eyes....
Hoyeon!
I DID IT!
just wait a little longer, I will get you out of there!
"Are you crying?....We also do not allow emotions!"
"I apologize...Thank you very much for accepting me. I will not let you down!"
"I will keep you to that"
.
.
It's funny...
How words can control your mood.
Before the interview, Soyeon waked the same streets many times. Each trip became more unbearable and heartbreaking. It was if life were a broken record, constantly repeating disappointing tunes to bring the worst out of you.
Today as she walked though, The dark streets suddenly became really bright.
No one could bring her from the high that she felt.
Weird looks of passerby's scrutinized her. Her eyes were like waterfalls and her lips were in the biggest smile.
"HOW DID IT GO CHILD!"
"Mrs. Kim! I got the job!"
"I knew that you would!"
Soyeon fell into the tight embrace of Mrs. Kim.
"Here, have some Manduguk. Mr. Kim won a lottery card earlier and forced me to make it for him and his friends."
"Thank you very much Mrs.Kim"
"Of course child! Hurry home now. It might be bright now but there has been rumors spreading lately..."
"Like what?"
"Many young beauties have been going missing.."
"What?!"
Panic erupted in the pit of her stomach..
"Yes! I would hate for anything to happen to a passionate person like you. Of course I hate it for everyone one but, you specifically"
"Don't worry, I will never fall into the hands of evil!"
"You can never tell the future child, Just be careful. "
"I will"
"Now hurry along! Remember to stay with crowds!"
" Okay! Bye Mrs. Kim!"
.
.
Soyeon scurried to Madam Jeon.
Madam sat quietly by her pond
Taking to the Koi-
Does she have any normal, logical hobbies?!
"I am back"
"Oh dear, How did it go?"
"I got the job!"
"I knew that this one was going to be the one"
"How did you know?"
"Intuition"
Weird old lady-
"ummm, Ms. Jeon..."
"Yes dear"
"Do you happen to know about the abduction?"
"IT WASN'T ME!"
What-
"I never said that you did it.."
"Sorry dear, I sometimes have flashbacks from my past marriages. I was framed for adultery .Sometimes the flashbacks are really vivid..."
"I understand you. I too dream about my sister. I could not help her but I still feel guilty.."
"You must not end up like me Soyeon"
"..."
"Promise me! You have to continue on this bright road...Don't look back"
"I promise?"
"good...What is that in your hand?"
The concern in her eyes soon faded to curiosity...
"Ms. Kim sent some Manduguk"
"Ohhhhh, Her food is really good!"
"You can have it"
"Thank you!"
Her once mature aura soon became that of a child in a candy store.
.
.
Quickly Soyeon hurried into the house.
Just as she was about to relay the exciting news to Madam Su, Something caught her attention...
"A white coat was suspiciously tucked in the cupboard of the kitchen....
"Why is that there?"
It was her coat!
As she tugged onto the fabric, She realized that it was covered in a red substance...
PLEASE don't be what I think it is....
Blood painted the sleeves of the coat...And it was fresh!
A sudden cold breeze danced on her spine.
Did she fall into a pit of bad luck?!
WHY WERE HER CLOTHES BLOODY???!!!!
