machinations
for @ynboyeon.
a feature interview in the yeongji herald isn’t exactly something to write home about, but hyunjin can’t help but to feel a little proud.
boyeon is only vaguely familiar to her: in passing, and never much beyond a cursory greeting and acknowledgement of each other’s present. there are a few rumblings here and there about his eccentric streak, but she takes it all in stride. it’ll be fine.
the haengju common room isn’t strictly neutral ground for an interview, but it is bright and welcoming. and empty too, in the middle of the day. she hasn’t made a reservation, but she’s positive they won’t be interrupted.
he arrives, they exchange pleasantries, and she shows him back to the table she’s prepared for them– invites him to make use of the mundane espresso machine if he feels like it.
“well, this should be fun. i’ve never done an interview like this before.” as you can probably tell. hyunjin takes a seat right across from him, in her usual spot by the window. “do you just wanna start off right away or are there any.. rules i should know?”
