Warmth 2 (1/1)

Dara's POV  What the?! What is HE doing here?! "What are you doing here?!" I asked.  "What are you-" I pointed at him, "Doing here?"  "W-well, I worked here!" he said, so he the worker/designer Manager Han Byul told me about?  "oh. Well... Aren't you supposed to be a costumer?"  "oh? Jiyong! Hey! What are you doing here?" a voice from behind me said.   "Oh hey Bom!" Jiyong said.   He was still obviously not recovered from the shock that he received when he found out I was working here.  "Oh Hi Dara-ah! This is Jiyong! The one who designed our uniforms? I'm sure you already know about him? Byul unnie tells that story to every newbie in this place!"  "yeah..."  Jiyong's POV  "yeah..." she mumbled. Seriously? Is this a coincidence or not?  I keep on meeting her accidentally in places where I least expect it! Wait, when Bom said that"I'm sure you already know about him? Byul unnie tells that story to every newbie in this place!"  Huwwaaat?! Am I getting free advertising in this place?! To every newbie? What Am I? A living legend waiting to be told to the youth?  Just then, I look at her, she's wearing the maid uniform that I designed, It's really amateur-ish really, I made this when I was still starting to work in the café, I was just doing some sketches, when Manager Byul saw me, she instantly put on some praise, then talked about making it the official maid uniform for the shop, the next thing I know, every waitress in the cafe was wearing it.   Fast huh?  It's actually a very simple design, the bodice is just right above the knee, a mixture of lace and black and white ruffles, the upper is like the one you see in the old english movies like Marie Antoinette. It's made up of lace and ribbon sewn on to black velvet-like fabric. The sleeves are a bit unique, having a few openings to see the shoulders, but just enough, not to showy, not too conservative. Add in the black flatform type shoes, then white knee high socks, and voila!  As I look at her, she seems to be in a trance. The dress looks quite cute on her, and a bit... Hmmm... Somewhat sexy... I guess...  "Uh, Ji? Ji? Yooohooo!!" Bom said, waving her hands in front of my face. Sh*t! I've been staring at her! Aisht! Did she notice? "Uh, Ji , you've been staring at Dara- ah for quite sometime now... Is there something going on? Do you two know eachother?"  "no."  "yes."   We answered in chorus. What the? Is she denying the priviledge to have met Kwon Jiyong?  Tsk tsk tsk... 'Biggest mistake you've made baby girl.'  Wait what?! Baby Girl?!?!?! What the? I must be going out of my mind!  "I mean, I've met her before, but that was only for a brief moment." I explained.  Just then, the employees started coming in, greeting me with happy faces. Sigh, I miss this place. " oh hey man! " Seunghyun, Bom's boyfriend, greeted me with a slap in the back. The place started to crowd, what with the instant reunion happening here. I roam my eyes around, searching for any more new faces, there are a few, but there are still many who I actually know. Funny, she's not here, Bom's not here too, where could they have gone?  "Hey man, where's Bom?" I asked Seunghyun.  "probably in the lockers with the new girl... Ever since she started working here earlier in the morning, they instantly became friends! Unseperable I tell you! Even I'm getting a bit jealous!" he said. The people around us laughed. Seriously, He's way too overprotective of his girl y'know?  "so what brings you here?" he asks. Oh yeah! I completely forgot! Dang it! "Uh, yeah! I got accepted in the agency!" "wow! So are you going to be a famous designer from now on?"They overreact sometimes... "well not really... Yet. Since we planned that I should pass my line by next month."  "I guess this calls for a celebration! Bring out the champagne!" They cheered. This is one of the reasons I still go back to this place because even though every one of us is in our own difficult situations, there seems to be always a time to just let loose, and be happy... Warmth... That's why I love this place.  Author's POV   The moment the other workers went in the room, Dara decided to slip away and go to the back. It was a bit dark there but the moonlight provided just enough light to be seen in a small distance. Bom also decided to follow Dara as she slipped away, something about this girl wanted Bom to just go to her, be her friend, care for her. She felt light with this girl, she felt warmth and a chance of friendship which she could never deny.  "Dara? Are you alright?" Dara winced, shocked, Bom saw her when she slipped outside?  "yeah... I'm alright..." silence... "you know, you can open up once and a while, I mean, we can be friends right?"  "yeah, it's just that this feeling, warmth, friendliness, family... I never would have thought I would feel this again... Ever since I went to this big cold city..."  "Dara-ah..." "You don't have to worry about me Bommie, I'm just feeling a bit emotional, I guess..."  "Don't worry Dara-ah, You can be sure that the coldness of this big city can be decreased since you worked here!"  "yeah... Thanks... Thanks for making me feel welcome again..."  Tears were flowing out of Dara's eyes as she thanked Bom. She even gave her a nickname! 'a new sign of friendship' Bom thought.  As the emotions were being poured out from the two of them, they didn't notice that there was someone secretly watching them...  Donghae's POV "whapack!"  "ouch!!" Donghae hissed.    SERIOUSLY?!  "OLD MAN JANG!"         --------------------   New character! Hehe:)) Oh, if ur a bit confused, donghae is also the one who barged in while dara was still changing. He accidentally went into the girls' dressing room...  XD BWAHAHAHA!! and the tale starts!? Omo?! Sorry I didn't update last night. No internet comnection last night! Huff! if ur still confused on how the story's going to turn out, don't worry, I'll be sure to clear out things as the story unfolds.-miharu
