Oneshot #11: The Receptionist
This is started from SNSD's ONESHOTS collection..?Just a short story :D
It all begin when I noticed you from upstairs. Your face which look calm and somehow it intrigued me. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I do feel a slight attraction to you.
I’m an office lady, in my 24th age in my life, working Monday to Friday, from 9AM to 6PM. Our office always have receptionist, well most office have one or two right? In my office, the receptionists are usually change from time to time, but this time, almost one year, the receptionist not being changed.
I never noticed it before, but after I feel a slight reaction to one of the receptionist, I tend to look to her more and more. Sometimes I want to pass by passing a smile to her, but I find it so difficult that it was easier to smile to the security guys.
“Morning miss Im”, it’s the default greetings I have everyday I step through this security gate. After I pass the gate, there are you and your friend sitting in the receptionist desk.

“..Why it has to be this way..”, I heard she mumbles. Unfortunately I already close to her place and there’s no way I postpone my time to go home any longer again.
I proceed carefully when I finally saw the girl and I realize, she i
