Cupid Next Door [ YEONJI ]

After their conversation yesterday, Yeonjun decided to listen to Soobin and go try to get that job. As he entered the building, Yeonjun noticed a couple of people who were waiting for their turn to be interviewed. He sat down on one of the many chairs and waited patiently for his turn, fiddling with the documents in his hands.

After a while, he was through the last three to be interviewed. He almost fell asleep when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned his tired gaze towards the respective person, only to find no one else other than Hwang Yeji. She was holding a peach colored clipboard, and she had a small smile on her face. "Hi, Yeonjun-ah! What brings you here?" She asked, but Yeonjun was too mesmerized by her incomparable beauty to respond.

She was dressed in a black t-shirt, with a pair of white pants and comfortable sneakers. Her hair was tied in a bun, bringing out her strong yet delicate features. She was looking at him with a soft look, which made Yeonjun question how someone could look so fierce yet so soft.

"I came here for the hair stylist interview." He responded once he could get a hold of himself. "Oh! That's nice! If you'll get the job, we would be colleagues. I work as Soobin's make-up artist." She gave him a smile, which would have melted Yeonjun off his feet if he hadn't been sitting down. "I see!" He managed to reply. Now he really had to get that job. Spending time with Yeji at work felt like a dream come true. He had to make a good impression to the interviewer.

After the two people before Yeonjun finished, he went inside and greeted the employer politely: "Good afternoon, Miss!" The woman looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and a not so happy look on her face. "Give me the documents and show me what you got." She demanded while pointing at the mannequin in front of her. It had a dark blue wig on, which was the same length as Soobin's hair. He did as he was told and went straight to the mannequin.

He took a deep breath and started doing his magic upon the plastic hair. Half an hour had passed, and Yeonjun was finally done. Once he turned to face the interviewer, Yeonjun saw that the woman's face turned soft and looked somewhat pleased. "Alright. We'll contact you soon. You may leave." The tone of her voice changed from harsh to calm. Yeonjun knew it was a good sign. "Okay, thank you! Goodbye, miss!" He said and left the room quickly.

Next to the door, there was someone waiting. "Oh, Yeji. What are you doing here?" He asked somewhat calmly. "I came to see how it went." She put on one of her adorable smiles, which made Yeonjun slightly smile as well. "It went pretty well. The interviewer seemed quite pleased." He answered honestly. "Lee Chaeryeong? Really?" Yeji asked, shock written all over her face.

"Yeah, I think that's her name. Why?" Yeonjun questioned. "She isn't the typical employer that will give hints when she finds someone that she likes for the job. Yeonjun, if she really seemed that way, then you have a big chance of getting the job!" Yeji said excitedly. Yeonjun was stuck on how pretty she pronounced his name. It made his stomach twist in a way that no one and nothing ever had. "Yeah..." He responded blankly. "C'mon, my shift is over. We can go home together. And if you get the job, we'll be able to walk home together every day!" Yeji's good vibe filled the air around them.

"Yeah, I can't wait!" Yeonjun smiled softly as they both started walking.
