The next morning
came and the three college students got out of the house after a hasty
breakfast. Zel and Xelloss got dressed and ate breakfast with the Gabrieves.
Xelloss then made a quick phone call to his house and talked with his sister
quickly. Zelgadiss did the same with Sylphiel. After getting their writing
utensils in their bookbags and all, they were ready to go. They met up with
Filia and they all went to the nearest subway station and Filia gave them some
tips on riding subways in Seoul.
"They are
economically cheaper and faster. Not to mention driving around Seoul is scary
as all hell." Filia explained, "But ok. Here's the map. There are several
different tracks. We use this track mainly. To go to Donguk Dae Hakkyo, we go
on this line. See we are here right now. We get on it and after 3 stops; we get
off at this place. From there we walk and we are over there!"
Zel and Xelloss
gave each other bewildered look. "The subway is pretty confusing." Zelgadiss
commented.
Filia nodded in
agreement. "Yes. It takes a while to get used to it. Just make sure you ride it
on the right side. Or otherwise you are going to go the other way." She rolled
her eyes. "That happens to my brother all the time. But ever since he joined up
with Valgaav, he has an escort, so he gets lost less easily."
Both guys tried
to smother their laughter, but didn't succeed. Filia heard them and gave them a
dirty look and got her purse ready to hit them. "Don't you dare laugh at my
brother! I know he is dense and all, but he's still a sweet, kind man!"
Xelloss smirked
and shoved Zelgadiss to her. He bumped into her and both of them blushed. After
regaining both of their dignity, they all ganged up on him.
"Oww!!" cried
Xelloss.
"Ne fruitcake!
What was that for??" Zelgadiss whacked him on the head. "You idiot!"
Filia shoved Zel
out of the way and started to hit him hard on the head with her purse. "I hope
this leaves some permanent brain damage on you, you Namagomi!!"
Both Xelloss and
Zel gave her a questioning look. "Namagomi?"
"Means 'Raw
Garbage' in Japanese. Learned it from a friend of mine. Supposed to be a serious
insult in Japanese."
Zelgadiss
snickered. "Fits you perfectly fruitcake!"
Xelloss grinned.
"Wow! I'm flattered! Now I have two nicknames instead of one!" He smiled wider
as the other two crashed.
Filia shook her
head. "Whatever, lets go. We're going to be late."
They got their
tickets and waited a few minutes for the subway to come. They got on it and
thankfully it wasn't crowded. They sat three in row and exchange information
about their schedules and classes they were planning to take. Zel was planning
to take Architecture and business. So he had a rough 3 hours classes of
architecture. Gets a break at 11:30 till 1. Then he has 1 hour of business.
Xelloss had the schedule like Zel, but he had Business first and then law
second. Filia had business with him and took several other core classes.
When they got to
the campus at about 8:20, Zel went one way, while Xelloss and Filia went the
other. Zel reminded Xelloss about their interview thing.
"Don't forget!
Meet me at the gate at 11:30!" Zel called and ran off to class.
Filia and Xel
walked the other direction. "Anyways…" Filia trailed off.
Xelloss smiled
at her. "You know my pal Zel likes you. Why don't you two go out?"
Filia blushed.
"Already? That's impossible!"
He nodded. "He
does."
Filia blushed
more. "But I…I…" Filia was cut off by the warning bell.
"Well let's
hurry up ne?" Xelloss offered her his arms, and she accepted. They walked
quickly to their classroom. Class started soon and they soon forgot about
everything else, but what the professor was saying up in the front.
~*~*~*~
Zel waited
patiently as he paced around the gate. His professor was in a good mood, so he
had let his class out 10 minutes early. Architecture was going to be tough, but
he knew he could get through it easily. It's the business he's worried about.
Xelloss was always better at anything that dealt with money better than him.
Math wasn't exactly his strong point, but he knows enough to pass AP Calculus.
Zel's strong point is visual stuff, so he decided to take architecture. Xelloss
was better, not to mention he was a good orator.
Chamna (1).
Where's that pal of mine!!
Zelgadiss stared at the entrance of the huge building. Faintly he saw Xelloss
walking with someone. As they got closer he saw that it was Filia. They were
flirting as they were waking slowly. Zel sighed. Looks like Filia likes
Xelloss better…but does he like her back?
He cupped his
hand into a megaphone and yelled, "Hurry up!!" Filia noticed Zel yelling, so
she yanked his shirt and they started to run toward where Zel was waiting.
"Well took you
guys forever. How was business? Is the professor good? I have him next." Zel
asked them.
They nodded
vigorously. "Yeah! He's awesome man!" Xellos clapped his hand on Zel's back.
"I'm gonna definitely ace this class!"
Zel rolled his
eyes. "No really, like you are going to ace art!"
Xelloss pouted
at him. "Awww you are mean Zel!"
Filia
sweatdropped. "Well good to see you two really close and all, but don't you
have a interview that's waiting?"
The two young men
jumped and started to run to the subway station.
"Aishi!!! (2)
WAIT FOR ME!!" Filia ran after them.
~*~*~*~
Beo stared at a
picture in his hand and sighed. Now that my daughter has gone to the states
to study over there, I am lonely. Maybe these two young men that are supposed
to come today will fill in her place temporarily. He glanced at his watch. Almost
12…they should be here soon. He stood up and walked around. He past by a
mirror and glanced in it. He was a middle-aged man in his late 40's. His dark-brown
hair was thinning, but his handsome feature was still visible on his
wrinkle-free face. He still looked as if he was still in his 20's. His
expression was always kind and calm. He was a carefree person that understands
a lot.
"Ok…now it's
11:59. They should be here soon." As he said that, he heard someone knocking on
his office door. "Come in."
Zelgadiss and
Xelloss stepped in hesitantly. Filia decided to stay in the hallway and wait.
Beo gave them a
reassuring smile. "Now don't be nervous you two. I won't bite or do anything
inappropriate."
Both of them let
out a relieved smile. Beo indicated to seat at the two chairs in front of his
desk. They sat down.
"Would you like
some coffee?" Beo asked them. They could see kindness and friendliness in his
sparking eyes. They nodded.
Beo called for
someone, and an Ajuma (3) came in and asked them what kind they wanted. After a
few minutes, Beo had a strong black coffee, while Zel and Xelloss had coffee
with cream and sugar. Beo took a sip of his coffee and started to ask them
questions. He asked them for their full names, their birthdays, how old they
were, their college schedules, and what kind of work they prefer. As they
answered each questions, they started to get really comfortable with him.
15 minutes
later…after more questions, Beo handed out two sets of papers to them. They
accepted it and glanced at it.
"Now. This is
the plan. Since both of you finish your classes at 2 in the afternoon. You both
could come here by 2:30 and work till 8 in the evening. Think that'll be
light?"
They nodded. Beo
then got up and clapped his hands. "Ok. You two start working today after your
afternoon class."
They nodded
again and shook his hands. "Thank you Beo. Thank you so much!" Zelgadiss smiled
widely. Wow…getting a job was easier than I thought!
Xelloss grinned
too. And we aren't making minimal wages either! We are earning 30 % more
than the minimal wage. Now that isn't bad at all!!
"Now be here
ready at 2:30." Beo smiled at them as they left the room. Now they will be
my best worker. Young, enthusiastic, and carefree. Now they won't give me any
problems!
~*~*~*~
Zelgadiss,
Xelloss, and Filia had huge smiles when they reached the campus. Xelloss looked
at Zelgadiss and let out a wholehearted yell. "We're the luckiest guys on
Earth!!"
"I agree! This
is a whole lot easier than I thought!"
Filia smiled
softly at them. "I'm happy for both of you. Beo's an awesome guy. You guys are
lucky to work for someone like him!"
They both turned
to look at her. "Thanks Fil." Xelloss said casually. Zelgadiss blushed and
softly said, "Yeah. Thank you."
"Well now, let's
all go to class!" Xelloss, Filia, and Zelgadiss linked arms and skipped all the
way to their class.
(1) Good grief~~
(2) Um…sorta like what Koreans say when they are frustrated. At least that's
what I use! ^^;;
(3) Um…Korean for a middle-aged woman.
