EMPTY: You Are My Star

Coincidence or Fate? (1/?)

SinB's POV
It's been two months after my graduation day, yet I don't have anything better to do. After that day on my graduation, I never talked to Sowon unnie anymore. You know, I forgot asking her new phone number. I couldn't find her at her home too. I don't know where to find her. We didn't talk much that day because after that Woohyun guy came, he never left her side. It was kinda annoying to see. No, I'm not jealous. I only don't like to see him around Sowon unnie all the time. Geezz~ Because there's nothing to do, I thought about them these past days. I'm still unemployed. I've applied my resume to some companies since two months ago, but no one called me yet until now. Am I not qualified? I think my grade isn't that bad. My mom told me to join at the company where she works, but I refused. I want to get my first job because of my own ability. But, until when I'm waiting like this? It's boring. I hate to have nothing to do. I close my eyes, trying to sleep. But, seconds later, I heard my phone ringing. I open my eyes again before crawling on my bed to the side table next to my bed. I take my phone and look at my screen. It's unknown number. Should I answer it? I'm not sure, but I did. "Yeoboseyo?" I said as soon as the line is connected. "Hello. May I speak to Hwang Eunbi?" I heard a woman voice from the other line. "Nuguseyo?" I asked politely. I can't say it's me immediately, especially when I don't know who the caller is. "Ahh, right. I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself." She said politely. "I'm Im Jin-ah from XXXX company." She continued. "Ahh yeah.. Hwang Eunbi's speaking. Can I help you?" I asked. "Hello Ms. Hwang. Thank you for your interest with our company. From this call, I wanna invite you for an Interview related to the Job that you're looking for. Are you still interest to join with us?" She said. I widened my eyes. It's a call for job interview. Finally! "Of course, I am. When is it?" I asked again. "Good! Can you come to our company by tomorrow at 10 AM?" She asked. "Tomorrow?" I asked, shocked. It's too sudden. "Yes, tomorrow. Or do you have any plan for tomorrow already?" She asked and it sounds like she was a little disappointed. "No.. No.. I don't have any plan tomorrow. Okay, I'll be there tomorrow." I said. "Perfect. Do you have anything to ask?" She asked again. "Hmmm.. What should I wear?" I asked shyly. It's my first time to be invited in interview. "Formal clothes will do. Ahh! Don't forget bringing your printed resume." She said and I nodded even though she can't see it. "Okay. I understand. I'll prepare myself for tomorrow." I said and she laughed. Where's funny? "Don't be nervous. Take it slow. It will help you to do your best!" She said. She seems so friendly. "Okay. Thank you." I said shortly. I don't know anymore what to say. "Okay, Ms. Hwang. See you tomorrow. Good luck and have a nice day!" She said before the call ended. I put my phone back on the side table before jumping happily on my bed. I can't wait for tomorrow. Wait! I stopped jumping as soon as something crossed my mind. I don't have any proper clothes for tomorrow. I need asking for a little help. I take my phone again before calling someone that I think could help me. "Hey, are you free this evening?" I asked immediately as soon as the line is connected.

Author's POV
Two young people walk slowly side by side inside the mall. One person is busy eating her ice cream, meanwhile the other one busy admiring her cuteness when eating. "Are you really like that ice cream? You look so happy while eating!" The question made the girl stopped on her tracks. She turn around and face the person in front of her. She grinned. You can see how happy she is right now. No one know if it's because of the ice cream or the company that standing in front of her. "Tsk! You and your ice cream!" The later said but the girl only shrugged her shoulders. She started walking again leaving her company. That person looks at the girl in amazed. "She is really like a kid. But, I like it!" That person mumbled before smiling like an idiot. "SinB-ah!" That person said but not getting any reply from the girl. "Yakk!! Hwang Eunbi!" That person shouted her full name in purpose to get her attention, but the girl still didn't stop her steps at all. The girl continued eating her ice cream happily, not care about the person that calling her name repeatedly. "Yakk! Wait for me, you little rascal!" The person shouted because the girl didn't stop at all. But, few second later, finally the girl stopped. She turned around before shouting back. "You're too slow, Juyeon-ah!" She said before sticking out her tongue. The later is running towards the girl that teased him. "You wanna die?" He said, pretending to be annoyed. The girl chuckled because he is too cute. "You could never be angry to me, Juyeon-ah!" She said calmly before smiling. "You're right!" He sighed in defeat. Both of them laugh happily. Without they realized, someone is watching them from a far with unreadable expression on the face. That person saw the two are happily laughing and teasing each other. "Are you okay?" Someone asked. "Yeah.. I'm glad he could make her happy." That person said weakly with a little smile on the face. "Let's go. We have so much to buy." That person said before walking away without waiting the reply. Meanwhile, Juyeon and SinB continue their shopping time happily, thanks to his silly jokes. You hear me right. Juyeon was the one that being called by SinB before. She asked him to accompany her finding new clothes for her interview tomorrow. After they finished shopping, Juyeon drove SinB to her home because it's already 8 PM. One hour later, they arrived in front of SinB's house. "Thank you for today, Juyeon-ah!" She said and smiling. He smiles back and nodded. "Good luck for tomorrow!" He said while patting SinB's head gently. She smiles before getting our from his car with some shopping bags in her hand. They bid their goodbyes before he drove away. SinB went inside her house immediately because the weather is a bit chill. When she she is inside, she knows that her mom isn't home yet because her house is still empty and quiet. She went to her room immediately since she already had her dinner before with Juyeon. She prepare everything for her interview tomorrow quickly. After making sure she has prepared everything, she took a quick shower. She is really tired after strolling around the mall for hours before. But, she can't deny if she is a little nervous too. She is afraid if she is going to be failed for the interview. She tried her best to think positively. If she continues overthinking, she would stay awake all night long. It's not good for her because tomorrow is one of the important days for her. She needs to sleep early, so she won't mess up her interview later. She takes her phone and plays instrumental songs to relax herself. She is laying back on her bed before closing her eyes. She listens to the music well until she fell asleep without realizing it. The next morning, she woke up late. Thanks to the shopping time last night. It was too exhausting for her. She took a quick shower and dressed herself well. She doesn't want to be late for her interview. She went out from her room and went downstairs. She is heading to the kitchen. She could see that her mom has prepared some breakfast for her. She eats it well while checking her phone. After she finished her breakfast, she clean everything quickly before taking her car key. She stopped in front of the full-length mirror near the door. She faces her reflection in the mirror. She looks perfect. It's the first time for her to dress up like that. She feels weird, but good at the same time. She smiles a little before taking a long deep breath and exhale slowly. "You can do it, SinB-ah!" She said optimistically. She went out from her house and go to her car by running a little. She drove away quickly since it's almost 8:30 AM. It will take her about an hour to get there. Unfortunately, the traffic is a little crowded. She arrived at the building at 9:45 AM straight. She quickly get out from her car after she parked it not far from the entrance. She walks towards the building in a hurry. She asked the receptionist about her interview and being told to go upstairs to the 15th floor. She said thank you and quickly left to the lift. She is waiting nervously in front of the lift. She checked her watch and her eyes got wider immediately. It's already 9:50 AM. She tapped her heels on the floor impatiently. Seconds later, the door of lift is opened. She quickly went inside and press the number of the floor that the receptionist told her. It starts moving. Luckily, she is the only one inside the lift. It makes her reached the 15th floor faster. As soon as the lift stopped moving and the door is opened, she quickly went outside and ask the another receptionist there. The receptionist guide her to a small room not far from the receptionist table. "You can wait inside. I'll inform Ms. Im if you're already here." The receptionist said and let SinB to go inside. "Ahh okay. Thank you." She said before entering the small room. The receptionist left her alone there. SinB wandering her eyes around that small room. It's not that small. She could find a big table with six chairs around it. On the wall, she could see a whiteboard. She sits on the chair near the door. She checks her watch and luckily, she isn't late. It's still 9:58 AM. Even though she isn't late, she can't help but to feel nervous again. She will meet the interviewer. She has imagined if the interviewer would be an old lady or at least a scary woman. When she is busy with her thoughts, the door suddenly opened.
