For The First Time, A Second Time || Jaerim & So-eun
{ fadextoxblack }
Every day since she's been back in Korea-- which has been all of seven days-- has been absolute hell. So-eun had expected to have at least one or two of those days to unpack and settle in to her new apartment and readjust to the culture and the city, but her manager seemed intent on whisking her in every direction from the moment she stepped off the plane. The jet lag doesn't help much either and more than once she finds herself nodding off between sets or during makeup and hair sessions.
After sleeping most of Sunday-- she'd only bothered to set up her bed and find one box of clothing-- she has another packed Monday, once that she's up bright and early for. They're renting out several rooms in a hotel for this shoot, one that requires just a little more skin than she's use to showing-- even after being in the states for two years. But So-eun, still exhausted, finds she doesn't care as much as she should and, after a rather short visit to the salon, she's making her way to the venue.
The crew is still setting up upon her arrival so, after greeting everyone and thanking them in advance, she quickly seeks out a quiet corner and props herself up for a brief nap. It's unprofessional and disrespectful but she's so goddamn tired that she can't care as much as she should. Her manager will scold her later but she'll deal with him later.
