"Why are you going to throw that all away?" // welcome to kst!
She removed the cardboard box from the table and placed it on the chair beside her with a sheepish smile. It soon turned into a lilting chuckle as she tucked the stray wisps of hair that had escaped from her sloppy-made ponytail. Jieun looked at the box with sheets of paper peeking out at its mouth, and then back to the person before her. She didn’t even know where to start.
Having a studio of her own, let’s just say that she earned it. Jieun always liked to stay in the studio ever since she was still a trainee. This is where she can find peace and the place even felt more homely than her own flat. Thus, when she started to climb up towards the top, her agency gave her just what she always wanted.
When the chilly weather started to be more tolerable and flowers began to slowly bloom, Jieun thought that it would be great to do some spring cleaning. Preparations for her album are on all-time high, but she knew that it was time to organize and clean the studio. It had been always a challenge to sort which ones she should throw out, but soon enough, the piles of yes, no, and maybes erupted in front of her after a few hours.
Finally feeling weary, Jieun decided to head home and to continue the cleanup the next day, but not long after, her stomach growled in protest and plea, thus she made a quick detour to have some dinner, bring along the box of ‘maybes’. By some coincidence, she met a known acquaintance at her favorite ramyeon shop. The box was noticed, of course, and she had to explain what transpired earlier.
“Not all of it,” she lightly shook her head at his inquiry. “I still have to check which of them will stay or not. Given with my sentimentality, I’m sure it will take me weeks to sort this.”
