whatever that awaits us
oh to be in loveIt was finally Saturday, also known as the day Seulgi and Joohyun go on their first ever date. They had kept in touch via text messages and shared anecdotes relating to their work and daily life. They shared information on their respective family backgrounds. How Seulgi was from Ansan and belonged to a family with one older brother and how she moved out to live a little more freely. Her interests and work, as well as her hobbies which included singing and dancing. Joohyun shared excitedly that she also liked to dance and was more than able to get over 90 points at the karaoke on any trot song with no problem. She also disclosed that her sibling was younger than her by a few years.
Seulgi also came to know about the unfortunate reason she had to resort to working at a café. A few months ago, the company Joohyun worked at underwent a restructuring process and her position as a marketing assistant was one which was deemed redundant. Although the situation was unfortunate, she could not find it in herself to be mad at the company. They had treated her well during the 3 years she worked at the company and the only reason that she was let go was due to the fact there were two other employees in the same position who were senior to her. They also made sure to give her a decent severance package as well.
Due to those events, and the fact that her younger sister was heavily pregnant, she ended up moving in to help her around the house. However, there were only so many things to do everyday so her sister pushed her to get a part-time job which is why she ended up working as a waitress. Joohyun was not someone who measured status by the kind of work someone did, and thus, though she had a college degree and only worked office jobs previously, she did not hesitate to take on the job and learn something new. It even ended up making her even more empathetic towards those who have to work in the service industry.
Hearing all this, Seulgi couldn't help but admire Joohyun even more. It's not every day you come across someone so mature and smart and with such admirable beliefs as well. Most people were too cocky for their own good, as far as Seulgi had experienced. It was nice to come across someone who was genuinely that selfless.
All those musings aside, Seulgi was all glamed up and ready for her date. By that, it meant that she had ditched her usual plaid shirts and jeans and opted to wear a black turtleneck sweater, a nice thick blazer to keep her warm and tight black pants. She put her hair in a clean bun and wore some minimal makeup as well. She didn't want to appear too laid back but also didn't want to go overboard with her appearance. The plan was for Seulgi to pick Joohyun up from her residence and for them to go out for dinner and then maybe walk around whatever neighborhood they wer
