Fluttering Feelings Ch. 54

Seol-a: Hey, you know...
No-rae: Yeah?
Seol-a: You said last time that you wanted to work a part time job over break.
No-rae: I did.
Seol-a: My brother knows someone who runs a shopping mall.
Seol-a: And apparently they'll need some extra help for about a month or so.
Seol-a: I heard the pay isn't too shabby and...
Small text: C'mon take the bait
No-rae: Really...
Seol-a: Wanna check it out together?
No-rae: Yeah!
*snap* (t/n: Sfx for something biting the bait.......might change later idk)
Seol-a: S-seriously? (small text): That easily?
No-rae: I wanna go! No matter what! (small text): I don't have anything better to do!
Seol-a: Is that so...Well, it isn't far. I think it's somewhere around X neighborhood...
No-rae: X neighborhood? That's only a few stops away by bus! (small text): Daebak...
No-rae: But-
*tap*
No-rae: Are you gonna do it too?
Seol-a: Huh? Yeah...
Seol-a: Yeah, of course!
Seol-a: Mm...
*stare*
Seol-a: I-I earn most of my own allowance too. So I'm gonna work...!
No-rae: ....
No-rae: Okay!
No-rae: Gonna eat my egg~
Seol-a: .....
Seol-a: Hmm hmm.
*sip*
Box: 2 hours before
Bro: What? Another shopping mall?
Bro: Why? Did you seriously think I'd make you do construction work?
Seol-a: This guy's connections are all like that, so...
Seol-a: No, it's just...it seemed like a nice job.
Bro: That place is pretty famous. A lot of people get into the industry through there.
Seol-a: Did I ask? It's just...dad said not to do that fitting model stuff anymore.
Seol-a: So I was wondering if this was okay.
Bro: It's fine. They'll cut out your face.
Seol-a: Really?
Bro: Normally the President noonim over there models, but something came up so they're looking for a substitute. (t/n: "Noonim" is a respectful way of saying "noona")
Seol-a: Noonim? Are you going out with her?
Bro: No way! She's my sunbae's fiance! You trying to get my ass busted or what?!
*frantic*
*yeesh*
Seol-a: Sorry, geez. No need to throw a fit...
Bro: Hmph! If you don't wanna do it, then fine! After all I went through to find it for you.
Seol-a: Hey, who said anything about not doing it? There are two spots, right?
Bro: Yeah. They told me they have two spots for now.
Bro: I don't know all the details about what sort of work you'll have to do though.
Seol-a: Thanks oppa. Good work.
Bro: No problem, ke
Bro: Hey, Baek Seol-a.
Seol-a: Yeah?
Bro: ...If dad ever finds out, I know nothing.
Bro: This is a job that you found all on your own. O.K.?
Seol-a: Ugh, you little...
Seol-a: .....
Seol-a: Then again...I do have some experience in this field... (small text): It's probably better than not having any experience at all...
Seol-a: ?
Kim No-rae
Text: If you aren't busy, come on down to Seolgi jjimjilbang yo! (t/n: Seolgi is shortening of "Seollae neun Gibun", so basically "FF"; jjimjilbang is a public bath house with baths + saunas + massages + food + etc.)
Seol-a: ..... (small text): Why a jjimjilbang all of a sudden...
Seol-a: Whatever, I'll just go~ (small text): It's not even that far~

Seol-a: Then wanna go during the weekend?
No-rae: Sure. My classes for this semester end tomorrow. Right on time!
Hye-kyung: Yoo-hoo! I'm here!
No-rae: Hey, Hwang Hye-kyung! Why are you so late!!
No-rae: You're the one who invited me and you arrive last?!
Hye-kyung: I couldn't help it since my supplementary class ended late...

?: Ah. You guys have arrived? Take a seat.
?: Woo-jin ssi, could you bring us three cups of coffee?
Sign: President's office
?: It's nice to meet you. My name is Yoon Enah. (t/n: WTF THIS IS MY EXACT BIRTH KOREAN NAME SPELLING AND EVERYTHING LMFAOOOOO)
Enah: Let's see here...
No-rae: Uwah...
Enah: You there must be Baek gun's little sister? (t/n: Gun = a formal way to address a male)
Seol-a: You there...? Baek gun...? (t/n: Very uncommon forms of speech, 자기 means oneself/you/yourself but it's never really used to address someone directly)
Seol-a: Yes...My name is Baek Seol-a.
Enah: Oh my, you're quite pretty. (small text): Your mother must be tremendously beautiful~
Enah: And you are...?
No-rae: My name is Kim No-rae. I'm Seol-a's friend.
Seol-a: Maybe we should have prepared better for this...
Enah: Your name is "No-rae"?
Enah: Oh dear~ That's so adorable~
No-rae: Thank you.
Small text: Kyaa <3 That's so lovely
Seol-a: .....
*knock knock*
?: President, the coffee.
Enah: Oh. Thank you~
No-rae: She's so cool...
Seol-a: Get a grip...
No-rae: Umm...What happened to your neck?
Enah: Oh, this? I sprained it while exercising.
No-rae: Oh...Just what kind of exercise were you...
Enah: Mm...mountain climbing?
Seol-a: .... (small text): It's so obvious that she's lying...Does she think we're a bunch of idiots?
No-rae: Oh no...! (small text): You sure had a close call there.
Sign: Idiot...
Enah: Well then!
*clap*
Enah: Can you two start next week?
Both: Pardon?
Text: Exchanging glances
Both: Yes!
Enah: Great, great~
Enah: You've probably heard this already, but I used to do everything around here, including the fitting.
Enah: However, my body is in no condition to do so right now.
Enah: While I have this cast on my neck, please wear the outfits in my stead, Seol-a ssi.
Enah: One month is all I'll need.
Enah: And as for my cutie-pie,
No-rae: Cutie-pie...?
Seol-a: Who the hell does she think she is, calling her "my cutie-pie"?!
Enah: For the time being, would you like to be my secretary?
Seol-a: ?
No-rae: S-secretary?
Text: ...A completely unexpected route!? (t/n: fucking hell this handwriting took forever to figure out)
Enah: All you have to do is follow me around whenever I need to go out to do something.
Enah: Moving around isn't difficult for me or anything, it's just that nowadays it's not as safe to travel alone.
No-rae: But I'm not sure if I'd do a good job...
No-rae: I can't even drive...
Enah: Oh my, just leave the driving to me~
Enah: There's absolutely nothing to worry about.
*clack*
Enah: I won't make you do anything weird.
Enah: If there's something you don't know, I'll teach you step-by-step.
*slide*
Enah: Okay?
No-rae: Yes...
Seol-a: .....?? (small text): What's with that atmosphere..??

Seol-a: How was it?
No-rae: Huh? How was what?
Seol-a: That shopping mall-

No-rae: It's totally awesome! The wage is high, it's close, and it matches right with my schedule!
No-rae: Like perfectly!
Seol-a: ...They did say they were gonna work you to the bone.
No-rae: Of course they will! Work is work.
Text: She isn't holding back with the thumbs-up...
Seol-a: I'm glad she's satisfied, but...
Enah: For the time being, would you like to be my secretary?
Seol-a: Asking No-rae to become her secretary out of the blue... (small text): Hmph!
Seol-a: Then there's no point in us working together at all.
Seol-a: And that president lady or whatever was a little weird...
Seol-a: That president lady. Wasn't she kinda wei...
No-rae: President Yoon Enah!
Seol-a: Huh...?
No-rae: She's so cool! And really pretty...
Seol-a: ...?
No-rae: She has the air of a successful female professional.
No-rae: And she has this relaxing charisma...
No-rae: And her figure is amazing...
No-rae: And she smells nice... (small text): Must be a perfume, right?
Seol-a: Figure...smell...So are these your true colors, Kim No-rae...I never knew...
