sometimes dawon would wonder why she didn’t think about things a whole lot. once she read it was more of a thing men would do rather than women, just kind of not bringing things up or asking for further information, even though there are obvious opportunities to get more out of something. and this was kind of a situation like that. it had been a year or two since she had started watching the channel “innalterable” on hypehens. the woman she would watch painting, speaking about art utensils she had no clue about and just do whatever, had mesmerized dawon from the start. inna was beautiful, breathtaking, interesting and intelligent –– at least to dawon. and she had absolutely no idea or interest in art at all. what had started out as a hobby, something she would do every evening just to wind down from the day had quickly turned into a slight obsession.
not that she had ever left a comment or tried to interact with inna, nor had she really talked to anyone about her being a fan, it was just sort of her me-time, me-thing. maybe that was the reason why she had never even imagined meeting the woman at the company –– even though, technically, they were coworkers. how it didn’t cross her mind even once? she didn’t know. she just knew that she wanted to get a refill of coffee in the company kitchen, and suddenly she felt her empty cup slip out of her hands at a familiar, yet strange sight: inna. right there. the sound of ceramic shattering brought her out of her dazed state, in which she had been for a good few seconds, just staring at the ethereal woman right in front of her.
she scrambled as she kneeled down, mumbling some profanities to herself, hands reaching to collect the few shards that once formed a mug. her head felt hot, she could feel herself starting to sweat as she stood back up straight, shards in her hands. “i– i’m s-sorry–”, she stuttered out (god damn it, she never stuttered), eyes fixated on the remainders of the cup in her hands, not daring to lift her head because of the sheer embarrassment.
