honey.

⠀⠀⠀⠀arms quickly move back to stretch out her shoulders, her head falling as the heaviness of her schedule and deadlines finally hit her. hajun thought that getting out and doing work outside of the office would be helpful but now she was just  hitting  a wall in public, rather than the very lovely  space that was designed for her. with a pleading look, she stares up at the other with a weak smile, “ please tell me you’re here to save me from this draft i have to finish.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀ krystal was supposed to be her lifeline, to pull her out of the block that was keeping her from finishing everything she needed to. if not to pull her out  —   she wanted to at least get some inspiration from the interior design enthusiast. “ i feel like i’m thinking of too many things to add , but not enough room , what do you think ?? ”

⠀⠀⠀⠀ “ you know there are easier ways for us to get spicy rice cakes, right?” eyes narrow towards the other in question as she sticks her toothpick onto one of the soft cakes before putting it between her lips. “ why did we have to come all the way here to have them? it’s like 20 minutes away !!  ”

“ah~ bonjour mon ami!” she said with a laugh, walking up to the older female to give ha jun a hug, giving air cheek kisses, a quite french way on greeting friends, “comment êtes-vous?” livie knew she might be getting some stares due to her fluent french, but also two familiar facing on the streets — former miss korea and a well sought after make-up artist — of course that catch eyes of civilians. the younger of the two smiled at the older female, “how is this whole… interior designer business going, unnie? i’m still waiting for you to redo my home with your wonderful eye~” she teased with a light chuckle, as the two of them started to walk down the street. it had been awhile since livie was able to see ha jun. due to either of their busy schedules it was difficult to find times to meet. luckily because her groups were on break at the moment, livie had more moments of free days and thus was able to meet the older female for a small outing.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ she follows along, knowing fully how to proceed with the greetings. it had always been fun meeting up with livie, she always had a way of reminding her of her parisian past and somehow she always got to practice the language. with a sigh, her shoulders fall as she relaxes and begins to answer, “  ça roule,et toi ? ” with no warning, she loops her arms through the younger’s to pull her closer as they walked. hajun listened carefully to the other, chuckling at her words when necessary, her expression was soft as she looked over at the other, excited about the new developments that had happened at work. “ we actually have a new project to do, it’s bigger than what we’re used to so there’s a lot more stakes  — ” it was a common misconception that her job was primarily redecorating rooms, although there are elements of that in some projects she chose, the new developments have been far more interesting. 

@seonothajun // ha jun.

“you know ha jun-ah…” she said with a light playful tisk after calling the younger female’s name, coming out of the kitchen in the restaurant where she worked. yu na, dressed in her white chefs jacket, placed the plate on the table in front of her friend before wiping her hand on the tea towel that hung around her waist, “when you said you wanted to have dinner, i would think that i would be at least joining~” she teased her friend lightly, her head shaking. it had been awhile since the two of them had hung out, however, when ha jun had talked about dinner, yu na had given the days when she was working and her hours, hoping to work around those hours. what the chef had never imagined was the fact that ha jun would come during her work hours. 

being the sous chef, and ha jun being former miss korea, the manager had asked her to serve the female, and of course, she would. thus why she was able to have these small conversations with her friend during the times she would serve the food or even just introduce herself. 

⠀⠀⠀⠀ her eyes immediately brighten as she saw the familiar figure of the elder emerging out from the kitchen. her soft lips quirk up in a smile as she waved at the other, “ 언니 ~ ” her voice was full of enthusiasm as she began calling out to the other before her eyes soften to shift towards the plate. “ i was going to come when you weren’t working but then one of my colleagues wanted to have a meeting at the coffee shop nearby,”  her pout was now visible as she leaned forward with her elbows resting on the table to support the weight of her head. hajun wasn’t planning to add more stress to the others’ workload but she couldn’t help but sneak in to catch a glimpse of yuna working, and the fact that her stomach was growling and she craved some of her cooking, she found herself sitting at the table with her toes wriggling in excitement.

❝Youngsters these days. Do they think themselves clever? Do they need some sort of beating? Bring them to me!❞Zero credibility comes from her menacing words and her sudden fist raised in the air. They hold no meaning when her laugh interrupts her awful act. A sigh slips in between sealed lips curled into a sheepish smile. Seoah can relate since rookies’ ardour and tenacity are unmatched. Though, her saving grace so far has been the experience she earned which gives her the sunbae label she uses with care. ❝ To be honest, if you’re a ghost, then I am one too. And we can haunt them! Just so they know who to not mess with! Ah… but then that’s too much effort, right? Let’s go get some street food and resume our stroll! ❞
