joomi's bluetooth earbuds are broken.
this is a cataclysmic event. joomi is a music guy, after all, and he can't stand to only have sound in one ear. and yet, he has to last all week with sound in only one ear, because apparently he doesn't have a backup pair of earbuds, and there's no place that sells decent earbuds that is open after he finishes training.
he makes sure he has time to visit his favorite electronics place on sunday, though. they have plenty of options, thankfully.
too many, honestly. and the earbuds he bought last time and knows he liked are out of stock, so he just kind of stands there in the earbud aisle blankly, looking over his choices. he should've probably looked at reviews, but he didn't have time for that - still doesn't, honestly.
eve works here, though, as tech support. he was planning on stopping by the part of the store she works in to see if she was on duty and say hi, but actually...maybe she can fix his earbuds? he's a bit of a tech guy himself, but he doesn't do it for his job, so she would know better than him, definitely.
he decides it doesn't hurt to ask, and brings his pathetic little earbuds with him.
sure enough, there she is at the tech support desk. he lets out a small sigh of relief, and gives her a tiny wave and smile when she looks up at him.
"hey!" he greets her, then quickly launches into his problem: "okay, so, my earbuds are going out in one ear. i was just going to buy a new pair, but there are just so fucking many, and i don't really have time to figure out what the best option is, or try to figure out how to fix mine. do you fix these?" he holds his earbuds out to her. "if not...do you have any recommendations?"
