Soulmate

part 2

"Lia wake up!" Yeji shouts, "Why is it so hard for this girl to wake up!"

"Lia!" Yeji shouts again but now also shaking her.

Yeji rubs her hands on her face, frustrated at the sleeping sloth.

"Lia! This is the last time or I will dump water on you!" Yeji says as a final resort.

"I'm up! Don't dump water on me" Lia says as she jumps off the bed and runs to the bathroom.

Yeji just laughs because her bestfriend is so cute.

Yeji went to their kitchen to eat a bowl cereal when she heard Lia yelling her name.

"Yeji! What the hell!? You woke me up before my alarm went off!" Lia is fuming with her nostrils flaring.

"Yes because if I woke you up after your alarm then we would be late since you take forever to wake up" Yeji said not minding the fuming sloth.

After breakfast, the roommates went to work to start their first day. Both feeling nervous and hoping they will do well.

When they entered the building, they were greeted by a tall woman who can be a mistaken for a model.

"Yeji unnie! Lia unnie!" The tall woman cheered Yuna.

"Yuna!" The two says in unison forgetting that there's people around them.

The three gave each other hugs and people are still staring at them. "Are you two excited for your first day?" Yuna asks.

"We are but also feeling nervous" Lia says.

"Don't be. You two will be a great addition to our family business" Yuna smiles.

"Come on. I'll give you the tour of the place" Yuna walks away.

Lia and Yeji followed. It was a big building. Now not only is Yeji nervous that she might not do well, she's nervous she might get lost too.

After their tour, Yuna dropped them off to where they're gonna be working. Lia in the vocal floor and Yeji in the dance floor. The roommates were sad that they won't be working next to each other but at least they can have lunch together.

Yeji entered one of the dance practice rooms and looked around. No one was there yet. Someone was supposed to meet her to train her.

"Hello!" Yeji hears making her scream.

Yeji turns around and holds her chest, "You scared me! I didn't even hear you come in."

The woman with red hair smiles at her, "I'm sorry. You must be Yeji?"

Yeji didn't hear what she said. She was too busy admiring the redhead's face and looking at her lips.

"Hello?" The woman says again.

Yeji shakes her head, "Uh I'm sorry. What did you say again?"

The woman laughs, "Are you Yeji? Our new choreographer?"

Yeji finally realizing what the beautiful woman in front of her said, nods her head.

"Yes that's me. What's your name?" Yeji asks.

"Chaeryeong. Dance teacher" the woman replies still smiling.

"Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful?" Yeji accidentally asks out loud.

Chaeryeong blushes while Yeji is red from embarrassment.

After that awkward moment passed, Chaeryeong explained to Yeji the rules and expectations. Yeji nods to everything the woman was saying to her even if she knows she might not remember everything.

"Have you found your soulmate?" Yeji asks out of the blue.

"No. I'm only 19" Chaeryeong replies.

"19?! And you're already working here?" Yeji says shocked.

Chaeryeong laughs at her reaction, "Yes. I'm best friends with the CEO's daughter and our parents are friends."

"Yuna?" Yeji questions.

The redhead shakes her, "No their eldest daughter."

"Yuna didn't tell me she has a sister."

Again, Chaeryeong laughs, "Probably because it hurts her to talk about her older sister."

"Why what happe—"

Yeji was cut off when the doors the opened and a bunch of kids walks in.

"Hi Ms. Lee."

"Ms. Lee I missed you."

"Ms. Lee who's that?"

"Ms. Lee go easy on us today."

Yeji smiles seeing the kids be so comfortable with Chaeryeong. She's happy to know that the company she works for values relationships like this between trainees and their instructors.

Chaeryeong and Yeji worked together until lunch. Yeji is sitting on the floor wiping her sweat and drinking water when Chaeryeong sits next to her.

"Want to have lunch with me and Yuna?" Chaeryeong asks.

"Ahh no thank you. I'm having lunch with my bestfriend. She works here too" Yeji declines the offer.

"Okay I'll see you after lunch then" Chaeryeong stands and makes her way to the exit.

Yeji stands as well and heads to the cafeteria to meet with Lia. When she got there, she looks around and finds Lia already sitting with someone.

"Hey Lia" Yeji greets and sits across from her.

"Yeji! How was your first day?" The short girl asks.

"It was good. I met this girl Chaeryeong and she's really nice and pretty" Yeji says.

"Are you interested in her? What happened to waiting for your soulmate?" Lia teases.

"I'm not interested. I am still waiting for my soulmate but I can appreciate other people's beauty, Lia" Yeji says her name with so much attitude.

The person sitting next to Lia coughs.

"Oh right. Yeji, this is Park Jihyo. She's my boss in the vocal department. Jihyo, this is Yeji my annoying bestfriend" Lia smirks while looking at Yeji.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Park" Yeji bows.

"Please, call me Jihyo. Ms. Park makes me sound old" she laughs.

"I hope you two are enjoying working here so far. It's a nice company. People are nice and even the upper ups are nice" she continues.

"Yes. I love it and I think Yeji likes it too. She even met a beautiful woman" Lia jokes.

Yeji rolls her eyes, "Lia, did you know Yuna has an older sister?"

Lia gasps, "What?!"

But before they can continue talking about it Jihyo stops, "Sshh" she puts her index finger on her lips, "Yuna might hear you. We're not allowed to talk about her sister."

"Why?" Yeji tilts her head.

"No one really knows. There's some rumors going around with different possibilities. Some says she died. Some says she ran away. Some says she was kicked out. Some says since she's a bastard child, they're locking her up somewhere. Some even says she's hiding because she's pregnant. All sorts of rumors."

"Have you met her?" Lia asks.

"Nope" is all she says then continued eating her lunch.

Now Yeji is curious. She wants to know more but she can't exactly just ask Yuna. It seems like a sensitive topic. She wants to dig for information as to who this mysterious sister really is and why she's not around but she's afraid because you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat. And she's not about to become a dead cat.
