sumin has a bad habit – or well, maybe it isn’t so much a habit as it is her personality. but she just can’t seem to say no. it’s something that’s gotten her in odd situations many times before; like when she’d been overworked to the point of nosebleeds because her uni group mates convinced her to do their half of the work, or whenever her extended family visit and she’s forced to smile and take their verbal attacks in stride.
still, it’s something that sumin’s working on, but clearly not working on hard enough as she’s practically cornered by this guy. all she really wants to do is to just head to the company already, and get into her training clothes. but for some odd reason, this guy can’t seem to take a hint ( and well, sumin isn’t the best at giving hints, admittedly ). he’s talking about coffee, and stocks, and crypto and honestly, sumin couldn’t care less.
instead she grabs onto her bag tighter and searches for an exit, any kind of exit. “that’s great! but uhm, look i really have to go,” she says. it’s not like she’s by any means late for training, but sumin simply likes getting there early. but it’s like he can barely hear her, instead he replies by talking even louder about crypto and at this point, sumin feels as though she’s almost at a loss.
her eyebrows begin to furrow, in a way that show just how much she doesn’t want to be there and her eyes begin to dart around. “i have to uhm... go,” she begins again, but it’s then when she locks eyes with a boy, not too far away. suddenly she freezes, and like she’d done a million times before, she wants to cry out to him. but something stops her, and she can only look on at him.
