Happy New Years! I know im suupppper late but in all honesty its difficult to write while you're in being the indecisive person I am it took me ages to think of how I wanted to progress the story and I'm still not completely sure. But anyways, I'm not Korean so I really suck with the formal dialect, so feel free to correct me and lastly please forgive any if not all of the grammatical errors. Enjoy!

"Arasto, you can leave these with me".
Ha Jin watches the stubby man wearing a bow tie exit Madame Oh's office. She straightens out her garments one last time in her best efforts, making sure to look suitable in front of her manager.
"Madam Oh, you called for me? May I come in?" She knocked loudly on the door to her office.
Madam Oh was calmly sitting at her desk, typing on the desktop situated in front her. She gave Ha Jin a small nod and Ha Jin took the seat in front of say Madam Oh was intimating would be an understatement. Her speech was short but to the point and her gaze was intense.
Ha Jin had lost tract of the time as she sat fiddling with her skirt nervously, waiting for her to speak. When Madam Oh finally spoke Ha Jin missed the peaceful silence.
" Miss Go, do you value your job here?"
It was a simple question. But under Madam Oh's scrutiny gaze, Ha Jin stammered to find the right words."I… of cours- Ha Jin attempted to answer but Madam Oh wasn't looking for her response and instead she continued with her rhetoric questions.
"Do you realize that you are a full time employee with responsibilities? This is a museum that pays their respective employees for their service. I have been keeping record of your irresponsible behavior, Miss Go. And I will not be tolerating anymore lates or absences."

Madam Oh Sat up in her chair and her lips pursed into a thin line. Ha Jin waited for her to continue speaking but when she remained silent Ha Jin asked the burning questions.
"Am I getting fired, Madam Oh?"
Ha Jin watched, as the older women seemed taken back by the question momentarily but than her shoulders relaxed and her usual stern expression came back into place.
" We'll decide whether you'll stay or not but for now you're going to be put on probation. You'll have to work in the inventory after your shifts for the next month and we'll decide from than on"
"Inventory? For a month?" Chae Ryung's eyes seemed as if they were about to fall out of their socket.
"I mean it can't be that bad, right?" Ha Jin hoped her friend would comfort her rather than magnify her current situation.
You've never worked in one that's why you have no clue. I worked in my parents and we'll its labor, Ha Jin." She gave her a pat on her shoulder before saying. "Don't die my friend."
"You should be comforting me" Ha Jin pushed Cha Rung's arm which was now comfortably resting on her shoulder.
"Well on the plus side you get to keep your job. I mean if I were your boss I would see no reason to keep you."
Ha Jin scoffed indignantly. "Yah. Why would they fire me? Even the Director complimented me."
"Well maybe because you've been absent every other day- Wait the director? When did that happen?"
Ha Jin pursed her lips and tried to change the subject diligently.
"Lets get dinner!" She exclaimed, knowing Chae Ryung wouldn't turn down the offer.
"You know Ha Jin, if you had never dated that jerk boyfriend you wouldn't have to deal with any of this". Chae Ryung inputted after they had finished their meal.
Chae Ryung was right. Ha Jin thought of her life before she had found her best friend and her boyfriend together, she wouldn't have dreamed of skipping a day of work. But after he had left her she didn't have the drive to go to work, or to go out at all. She had wanted to hide herself from the world and lock herself up in her tiny apartment. It would have hurt her a lot less if he had been with any other girl but to know he had chosen her best friend made her feel extremely disgusted and just the thought made her feel nauseous.
She looked up in time to catch Chae Ryung looking at her pitifully. Suddenly Cha Ryung lifted her glass. "To let go! And make a new!" She shouted.
Ha Jin couldn't hide the huge grin that had formed on her face and lifted her glass as dramatically as her friend. "To shitty hours of work!"
Their glasses clinked together and each of them drained their glasses.
"I don't ever want to think about him again." Ha Jin says out loud.
"Who? I don't even know who you're talking about." Chae Ryung plays along.
"Screw boys! Im a funny smart and indepnedant girl!" Ha Jin exclaimed and both girls began to laugh uncontrollably.
People around the tent sent her curt looks and whispers but both girls were to drunk to notice.
Ha Jin placed the yet another product onto the shelf. " I'm not made for this labor, I have too much talent. I shouldn't be here doing this." She sighed heavily. It had only been her first week working at the inventory but she had already lost her motivation.

She irritably pushed the last bottle of perfume and the bottle fell to the ground shattering into pieces.
"Should I just run away?" She thought aloud staring at the broken pieces of glass.
"Run away?"
Wang So walked from behind the counter, meeting her eyes from across the shelve. Ha Jin jumped back suddenly, her cheeks beat red. Immersed in her own thoughts she hadn't notice Wang So walk in. Remembering suddenly, she bowed her head at a 90 degrees angle, taking the moment to catch her breath.
"I'll clean it up right away she said bending down to collect the glass."

"And that wouldn't be the smartest way to do that." he pulled her up and she avoided his gaze, too embarrassed.
" I thought you were at the makeup department? What are you doing here?"
"Ahh. Um well –"
"You certainly don't suit this place. I'm thinking well have a lot less perfume in stock. Maybe well even run out." He said amusingly.
Her face flushed and she could feel the heat spread to behind her ear.
Wang So strided past her motioning her and she followed after him.
"Go Ha Jin" he finally spoke.
Humm, he knows my name?
She looked up at him in bewilderment.
Of course he does. That time he had rescued her from those low lives but wait - no she'd seen him again after that, yes it was just the other day when – oh no. oh no. She thinks as the memories flood back to her. Her and Wang So had been drinking together and what had she said. Does he remember?

"Miss Go. Are you alright?"" Wang So says waving his hand frantically in front of her face.
She straightens up and wonders if he remembered anything from that night.

Its been weeks. He probably doesn't even care. Stop worrying Pabo.
"Miss Go, I was thinking of calling you the other day, well I mean last week, but I realized I had lost your number." He smiles at her.
He remembers.
"Can I get your number?"
Her heart stops for a moment before she realizes her palms are sweaty. "My number?" She raises her eyebrow suspiciously.
Its probably best to end whatever it was we had going on here.
"Why would you want my number?"
Hes taken back for a moment, not expecting her to question his motives. Ha Jin thinks she's probably stepped over the line when he doesn't speak for a moment.
"Well, it is necessary for work related matters, Miss Go." He says, choosing his word carefully and stepping closer to her.
"Work related?" She questions, ignoring the fact that he's so close to her. "I'm sure you'll be able to ask Madam Oh." She says as confidently as she can.
He definitely didn't think she would give him such a hard time so he tries again.
"I thought you enjoyed my company last time? It would be a lot easier to meet outside of work if I had your number, Ha Jin."
She can feel her face heat up slightly realizing he had stopped addressing her formally. "Mr. Wang, Id like to keep my work and personal life separated." She bows slightly and turn to leave, walking as fast as her legs can carry her.

Wang So was not expecting that from Ha Jin. Good for you girl!
Let me know what you guys think? Should she give him her number or nah?
