I spent the whole afternoon sleeping. My entire body was just too worn out. And let me tell you, I had one of the best sleeps in a while. It was the most decent one I've had this week. It's quite an achievement for myself.
Father has been asleep since half past nine. So, that leaves me the only person whose eyes are open at this untimely hour. I can't force myself to go back to sleep when I have recharged a huge amount of energy. I would just end up being unproductive.
I took out my drawing tablet and set up my working desk. I turned on my pc and placed my scrapbook on the other side of the table. This book contains a lot of pictures from magazines; some were actually taken by me. I have to always put this next to me as a guide, especially when I am making portraits. The human anatomy should be meticulously done. Unless, it's abstract art we're talking about then there are no boundaries.
I decided to finally open my e-mail account after a week and happen to find a lot of unread messages in my inbox. They're new clients. Some wanted to buy my works and some were asking for commissions. I examined the content of each mail sent and accepted a couple of requests. I kept on scrolling down until I stumbled upon Bae Irene's name. I quickly opened the mail she sent, feeling excited all of a sudden.
Ms. Jiseul Park,
Greetings,
I was still in awe after coming to your art exhibit. The painting I bought came in perfectly and my co-workers appreciate it so much. A lot of my people are interested in your works. If possible, I want you to inform me ahead than everyone else on the day you'll be having your next show.
Best regards,
Bae Irene.
I literally shrieked like a little girl whose high school crush confessed to her. I can't hold back my emotions. I've never had a customer as prestigious and valuable as Bae Irene. This really made me ecstatic. I can't help but feel delightful despite of it all. I never knew there would still be a couple of good things in my life. I thought it'll all be just chaos.
I immediately wrote back to her my response and sent it right away.
I was feeling very much motivated. People like Bae Irene are interested in my works. This really is a great opportunity. I mean, chaebols? Rich-ass people? We're talking about the elites here. Is this even possible?
I kept on rereading the e-mail, still trying to register it. I can't resist my self from getting giddy about it.
Then I remembered about the KAI job hiring.
I modified the application letter and resume I submitted to Velvet Inc. and sent it right away to the KAI. My heart is so full right now. Suddenly, all the negativity evaporated out of my body.
Maybe this is a sign that things will get better from now on.
Startlingly, I heard my phone ringing under my pillow. I hurriedly checked the caller's I.D.
