Two days earlier. Memphis Entertainment. Management team 2, Meeting room.
The Five members of Vixen sat on the first five seats of the Oval-shaped table in the brown and black colour schemed conference room.
They were all bent over their phones. The faint sound of keyboards and gaming filled the room.
They had all been called in to meet Director Oh but since Mira had a test only the older members were present.
They were waiting for the Director and the other staff of Management team two to join them. Their manager Chief Yoo was called in by Director Oh as soon as they arrived twenty-five minutes earlier.
Nari leaned forward and tapped her fingers on the table as she felt a sharp jab in her stomach. She bit her lips and rubbed her yummy with her free hand.
Nari kept her phone on the table and glanced at the other members who were all busy with their phones.
'I am starving", she muttered under her breath a looked at the door, "what is keeping them, she continued with a pained expression.
She could barely seat still as the intensity of the pain rose and her hands shook. Nari pushed back her seat and stood to get a cup of warm water to subside her hunger a little.
Yumi looked up at the sound and asked, "Where are you going to, Nari?"
"I am feeling a little peckish, let me get some water or something. Don't worry I can hold on until we are done here", She said ignoring the queasy feeling in her stomach.
"You are hungry?" she looked down at her stomach, "me too. We left without having anything to eat", Yumi said rubbing her tummy, she glanced at everyone else and like her, they looked pretty dull.
"How about we go grab a quick breakfast from the cafe opposite the company. Nari and I can go grab something for you all while you wait here. Since we don't know when the Director will come down".
"Yes", the other members murmured among themselves. They quickly typed their orders and sent them to Yumi and Nari on Kaokao talk.
After noting everyone's orders, Yumi and Nari left together, ten minutes later they arrived at the cafe. The cafe was very popular in the area and had a lot of customers daily.
There was always a queue in the cafe. It was already past launch hour so the queue wasn't that long. Yumi and Nari joined the queue, it was nearly their turn ten minutes later. Yumi got a phone call as the barista handed the man in front of Yumi, his order.
Yumi took the phone out of her bag and looked down at the caller ID, raising her phone slightly, she turned to Nari and said, "I have to take this, Nari".
Nari nodded, "that is alright, I will collect the order and meet you when I am done".
Yumi smiled a squeezed her arm, "Thanks", she answered the call and stepped away.
Nari watch her leave for a second before turning to the counter, she smiled at the barista. Her smile stiffened as her eyes fell on the barista's rose pink-coloured hair as he scribbled on a small notepad.
She placed her hands on the counter and bit her lip, her current position gave her a clear view of the barista. His hair looked soft and silky, the rose pink colour looked beautiful on him.
The fact that he kept his hair long made it all the more attractive. It was packed in a low ponytail and coupled with his height and muscular frame. He looked hot. She suddenly wished for him to stand so she could take a proper look at him.
A few seconds later he fulfilled her wish as he set aside the notepad and pen. Kim Ha Jun paused silently as he met a pair of hazel eyes.
His lips unknowingly curved up, 'What a stunner', he thought grinning. His smile widened as her cheeks reddened, "cute", he muttered unknowingly.
"Wha_what?" Nari bit her lips and looked down at her hands on the counter, eyes half closed. This act drew Kim Hajun's attention to her long lashes, his gaze fell on her plump is which had gotten redded thanks to her biting.
Hwang Nari stole a few glances at the weblike tattoos on his left arm, their eyes met as she followed the tattoos under the short sleeve of his blue vest.
She immediately looked away as he daughter her gaze, Kim Ha Jun's lips twitched at her actions. He picked up the small hand towel beside him and wiped the counter.
"You must be a new trainee at Memphis entertainment", he said as he wiped the counter.
"Ah.... yes I am", Nari looked down at the orders and quickly ratted out everyone's orders. He smiled at her actions and went about packaging her orders.
Kim Ha Jun quickly packaged everyone's orders, minutes later he handed two transparent bags filled with her order. "Here you go, have a nice day".
"Thanks", She collected the bags and hurried away. She nearly ran into Yumi in her hurry to leave, luckily Yumi saw her coming and stepped back.
"Easy there, Nari" she glanced at the bags Hwang Nari held in her hand, "Let me help you hold one of those. Sorry, the call took longer than expected".
She took the bags from Nari and walked out of the room. Hwang Nari felt a heated gaze at her back as she left, she looked back and met the barista's nut brown eyes. She blushes and looked down as he winked at her.
Minutes later, Haneul stepped out from the door leading to the small kitchen behind the counter, he frowned at his brother's silly grin.
"What is with the silly smile? You look weird", Haneul muttered and took over from his brother.
Hajun glanced at his brother and smiled, "What's wrong with my smile, I think it looks good", he held his phone up and used it as a mirror.
Haneul just rolled his eyes and attended to the customer in front of the counter, completely ignoring his brother. Ha Jun chuckled at his action, he turned the doorknob at the door leading to the kitchen and stepped in.
