First meeting
“Just for your information the Tang department will be merging with the Hua department for cooperation and to help us socialise.
It came to us that uh..most of us..” Chung mun stared specifically at Cheong myeong coughing before continuing, “Are in need of socialising and not being manic.”
The lady in question was staring out of the window munching on mooncakes but when she heard the Tang department was going to merge with them she sat up properly and stared at Chung mun disappointed before speaking out.
“Tsk. The Tang department? Why do we have to deal with those incompetent brats? And what's up with this so-called ‘help us socialise’? I think we are all perfectly fine on our own!” ‘Perfectly fine on our own..
I don't think so, in fact I think we do need help. Best I don’t speak up or I might get beaten up.’ Baek Cheon thought looking away, suddenly thinking the grass outside the window was interesting while sweating.
Chung mun stared at the person yelling nonsense shaking his head and sighed, massaging his forehead getting ready for the headache of the day.
It wasn't uncommon for that mad girl to cause trouble every so often, giving everyone a mess to deal with so he expected that she would be very much annoyed about it and cause a scene. And worse of all they can't just fire her as she is their best employee and always provides the best quality with no efforts placed in and so they have to let her roam free to do whatever she wants. Not that anyone has the courage to talk sense in her anyways. He just hoped it wasn't going to be a big one.
Cheong Myeong stared out of the window while eating after the meeting was over watching people leave the building with a bored look on her face. She wonders when something interesting will happen. She doesn't know but fate has decided something will happen the next day that would change her life forever.
…That was too much of a scene. Chung mun had opened the office door to Cheong Myeong sitting on her desk pointing at the Tang department's people saying nonsense.
“Oi! You tang brats listen up. Now that you're here, I'm in charge of you stupid heads. Be sure to listen to me or you have a chance to be beaten up.”
Grumbling, she jumped and grabbed a random person and slammed them to the ground, making everyone else backup and she moved to get mooncakes before continuing, making everyone suffer the painful yelling of hers before she left saying everyone is too boring.
“Just you wait! She's arriving soon, she will deal with you for us.”
Hm. Who's ‘she’ anyways? Must be someone irrelevant Cheong myeong thought as she descended the stairs.
A certain brown haired woman who was running late for work as she had forgotten that she was supposed to head to the hua department building instead of the old tang department ended up having to run up the stairs due to the elevator going down at the worst times.
She looked up and couldn't stop in time before accidentally bumped into someone dropping her work file, ending up with both of them falling to the ground and papers flying everywhere.
Tang bo heard a grumble and the sound of someone standing up and she scrambled to stand up bowing deeply fumbling over her words.
“I'm so sorry! I didn't see where I was looking and was in a rush, I'll look at where I'm going next time…” Her rambling was cut off after seeing the most gorgeous person she has ever seen making her jaw drop to the floor.
That lady was dressed in a simple light green sweater with a deep red-brownish skirt. Her long messy black hair tied up with a plain long white ribbon.
Well.. that lady is really pretty that's for sure.. but that look on her face just gives off that she is annoyed to death. But to say that angry face of hers doesn't suit her would be something Tang bo would disagree with, in fact she thinks its pretty cute. She stood up when the lady grumbled and stood up before yelling at her to watch where she was going.
That perfume that pretty lady uses sure smells really good, considering Tang bo has a good sense of smell she could immediately tell what flower was used. Her perfume really does match her with those pretty pink eyes, she really does look and smell like the plum blossoms blooming outside of the windows.
But Tang bo wasn't lying or over exaggerating, it really does, she glanced up at those eyes glaring at her looking exactly like the colour of plum blossoms. And oh my, does she look so hot when she is mad.
Her thoughts were finally cut off when Cheong myeong had enough of her not listening and scowled before smacking her head hard to get her out of that state to make her listen to what she was saying.
“Hey, hey! Were you even listening to what I was saying!?"
“Oh my you're so pretty..”
To say Tang bo was not listening was a yes, she was busy thinking over how that gorgeous lady in front of her was so pretty yet again.
Wait. Did she just say that out loud?!
“…”
“…”
She looked shocked and definitely froze... Oh what do she do.. she doesn't want to face the consequences of saying that. Surely that's not what you are meant to say on your first meeting with someone even if they are really really pretty isn't it?
Snapping out of her daydreaming, she looked up at her, a quiet nervous laughter slipping out of her mouth knowing she didn't listen to anything and was in fact daydreaming and being heads over heels over her looks. Now she wonders if she should just say no or lie, but when has she ever think before saying anything? And so.
“No! Could you repeat?” Tang bo asked smiling realising what she just said knowing she might have fucked up saying that.
She can feel her life about to end with every second passing by, she can tell the lady in front of her is a temperamental type and when she looked up she saw a fist heading to her head before the fist got pulled back quickly with that lady scratching her head and then crossing her arms before saying.
“Whatever, I don't feel like hitting a lady like you. That is just a warning I hope to god I don't see you again.”
Finishing off her sentence, she descended down the stairs leaving the brown-haired stiff and then she picked up her stuff and went upstairs to work.
To say Cheong myeong found that lady weird was definitely. No way did she think that she wouldn't notice her staring at her the whole time while she was talking to her, even waving at her but that weird girl didn't seem to respond.
Her suspicions were confirmed when she blurted out saying she was pretty? A weirdo for sure, nevermind her co-workers being weird, that girl is weirder than weird.
And she hopes to never have to deal with her again. But she did hear her going up the stairs to the office.. And oh dear was she wrong to hope to never see her again.
Cheong Myeong entered the office in the morning the next day heading to make coffee thinking she was the only one there before a very familiar sound person came over smiling and waving at her. She ignored it thinking she was dreaming and that lady just came to haunt her down and definitely wasn't in person working here.
“Noona!” The said person said it with so much excitement and with a smile so bright Cheong myeong wondered why she was there even so early in the morning.
“Why are you here?”
“Did you not know? I'm your co-worker who's sitting next to you!”
Cheong myeong froze hearing that.
“Sitting next to who?”
“You silly! Please to meet you, I'm Tang bo!”
A Tang? So she's from the Tang department then? Was she running late yesterday considering she wasn't there when everyone was gathered?
“I'm-”
“Don't need to introduce yourself, I already know who you are. Hey, you don't care much for your surroundings do you? I've been here since you entered and didn't notice me until I called you.”
“So if you know my name then why are you calling me that?” Tang bo blinked confusingly before replying
“I'm calling you noona because it's cute it suits you a lot..”
“Don't think cute is a word to describe me but okay..”
