Instead of going home after her audition, Rachel takes a few minutes to linger, look around a little until she feels like enough time has passed that she wouldn’t look awkward standing in the lobby with nothing to do. She knows that it’s Jinri’s birthday and hopes that the younger will actually receive her gifts without getting in trouble for receiving them in the first place. After a moment’s conversation with the receptionist, she pulls the jewelry box from her bag and places it on the desk, scrawling a note to be sent with it. Sunflower Jinri~ I had to think of things you might like for your birthday and I didn’t have many ideas. But something else that starts with J is jewelry ^^ I bought these { 1 2 3 } while I was in New York for you! Don’t worry about being careful with them, but I thought you deserved something nice with everything going on and maybe to wear when you’re on stage again~ heh. Don’t forget to keep persevering no matter what they say okay? You show them! Maybe we’ll meet here again soon? Time will tell ^^~ I just finished my audition~ - Sophie
Jinri steps out of the elevator on the bottom floor to head into lunch, but she stops when she hears her name. She sees the receptionist approaching her with a small box in hand, and she blinks in surprise -- she’s always been on friendly terms with the woman, but she certainly hadn’t expected the receptionist to get her a present. “Someone left this for you, Jinri-ssi. Happy birthday, by the way!” The woman says, handing her the box and a slip of paper with it.
“Oh,” Jinri says, kind of amused at herself for jumping to conclusions. “Thank you! Have a great day!” She tells the receptionist as the woman turns and walks off. Then Jinri continues walking towards the diner for lunch, though a bit more slowly than before as she’s distracted with reading the note.
Smiling at the note, she sits down at one of the tables before heading up to get her food. She opens the box gingerly, recognizing it as a jewelry box, and her eyes widen at the sight of the bracelets inside. “Oh, wow...” she breathes, picking up one of the bracelets carefully, as if afraid to break it. She slips it on her wrist and admires it there for a second before adding the other two. Don’t worry about being careful with them, the note had said. How could she not? She knows these aren’t things she should wear all the time, but she’ll still wear them for at least the rest of today.
