The first drink(s)
starter for @mp-skuld
Despite a part-timer, Yeji took her job at 'For the Fairest‘ quite seriously, not only because it was something she enjoyed to do, but there was a layer of commitment and loyalty to Skuld the demigoddess couldn’t afford risking letting the goddess down. The Norse had become quite the maternal figure to her, or at the very least, an aunt-figure. Yeji was very thankful for Skuld’s presence in hers and Ayden’s life. The reason behind their fondness over each other was still something blurry to Yeji, but she knew it came from a place of harmless affection and it was enough for her.
With the holidays gone, Yeji assumed the first months of 2023 would be calmer for the business but soon she realized a lot of people prepared in advance for Valentine’s Day. A very demanding client managed to take Yeji’s whole schedule for the week and on the last shift before deadline, the young woman had to ask to be dismissed from her second job, to be able to finish the last adjustments to that ungodly shiny dress. “Aaaand done!” She said loudly, assuming she’d be alone at the store given the time being nearly 2AM. Putting her needles and items aside, Yeji leaned back on her stool just enough to be able to stretch her arms and legs. Her back was asking for mercy so she got up to further relieve the tension on her body.
For a second, she looked at her backpack, remembering her visit to the local licor store earlier that night, during her dinner break. She was old enough to be able to buy alcohol, yet it still felt incredibly awkward to do so. Being asked for ID was a normal procedure, but it made incredibly nervous. Now with the bottle right there, she was tempted to experiment, but felt insecure to do it alone. “Hum, maybe another time?”
