Description

In which I try to find solace in a supposedly-vacant limousine, only to feel more down when I encounter my dad's chauffeur whose words from the heart make me wish dreams were my reality.

Foreword

He turned around, blinking in confusion. "Ma'am, departing time is in half an hour."

"I know." I hopped into the limousine, crossing my legs before travelling my eyes up and down his figure again. "How old are you?"

"I'm 22, ma'am." He bit down the bottom of his lip, "Um...ma'am, I'm sorry but I've to tidy up the car." He waved a wet cloth in the air.

"Then that makes us friends. You can drop the formalities."

He cowered his head, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I believe I can't do that."

I sighed wearily as I reassured, "It's okay. There's no one else here."

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I really can't."

"Stop calling me ma'am. I'm not a ma'am." The rising frustration from the pit of my stomach caused my words to come off as a stern warning, which I immediately felt guilty for.

"I mean...I just want a friend to talk to," I said meekly.

The chauffeur stared back at me with an unreadable expression, a great contrast to his following reply which was of a string of words that no one in the house ever dared to utter.

"God, just get the  out of the car."

Chapter 1: I really like it. This story reminds me how we all have choices. But our choices have consequences, and in the end we are choosing the consequence we prefer more instead the choice we truly want. Idk, is that make any sense? I'm kinda sad, since I'm afraid that maybe I'm slowly becoming like that.

Chapter 1: This is a really really well written short story. Wow. That was quite a lot to take in. Lowkey didnt expect that angsty turn after reading how he actually swore at her. The part where you wrote about dreams really hit me hard, as someone struggling to figure out if the path I’m choosing is actually the right one.

I am actually in love with the ending because it’s so abrupt and leaves the readers to interpret the rest of the story however we want because somewhere in the fictional world, the life of Yena and Sehun goes on beyond this short chapter.

Overall really beautiful and I really enjoy your style of writing!

I didn't expect that angsty turn, although the abrupt end does give us the chance to imagine what happened after she learned his name: perhaps she went on with the dinner, he quit, she ended up becoming fond of her future spouse and that's where her conjunction with Sehun ended. Or perhaps she ended up ditching it, she ended up finding a way to be with him. It's all up to us how we see the glass: half empty or half full.
I did enjoy the story, despite not enjoying the situation. I'm not a fan of abiding by what the family wants, but in a way, I could see where she's coming from. I appreciated the realism of it all, how the timing was horrible, how it's not shown to us what path she takes, how everything is bitter sweet, although it's also quite interesting that the one time she sits to talk with Sehun is when she needs him the most: had she approached him earlier, perhaps things would've been much more different.
Overall, a nice and sweet short story that truly portrays how unexpected are the ties we form in our lives. Congratulations!
