Friday, July 27. 12pm.

To say I was a little skeptical of answering is an understatement— I'm always anxious when they are requesting anything from me. My inexperience is too apparent, and I am basically doing whatever they tell me to do. I need a life counselor or something.
I compose a stressed message to Jungkook even though I'm not too sure if I will get a reply.
I want to know if he will be there. I need him to be there.
You: hi 😇
I got an email from them.
meeting on Friday? Any idea?
After I send the message, I stare at the conversation praying for his little typing bubbles to appear. They don't. I frown. I wonder if he will answer me today. A few days ago it took him over 12 hours to get back to me.
He is working so hard. Although it makes me incredibly sad and lonely, I try to find things that keep me occupied.
The only reason I find any happiness in looking at my email today is because Teen Vogue has sent me a confirmation email. Short and sweet:
____________
Jae,
This email is to confirm your interview at our Seoul office on 8/6. We look forward to seeing you! Attached is an itinerary of what we want to discuss. See you soon!

I want to question my humanity at this point. It is currently July 24th and it's been way too long since I've talked to literally anyone other than Auntie. I don't know how much longer this can last.
Taehyung is just as busy as Jungkook. He doesn't text much either.
My phone goes off and I'm hoping for a text back from my lover boy, but it's my father.
Dad: Hi JaeJe
I will be in Seoul tomorrow
Lunch?
My eyes go wide in excitement. How unexpected— well, is it really? Everything is always unexpected with my dad. I barely know what country he is in and when.
My mind is on fire from what I'm reading and it takes me about two minutes of being deep in thought for me to blink out of it.
This might be perfect. All of my business issues can be solved now. I'm sitting here thinking I'm helpless and in over my head with my career, meanwhile my father who is an experienced businessman has been existing. I would've done this sooner, but the man is never around. This will be my only opportunity.
You: dad!!!
yes please omg
I am STRESSED
where do you want to meet???
Dad: Lol
You: what?
Dad: I am trying to forward the address to the restaurant
