Bahora:
Asilzoda, which bag should I take — the red one or the green one? Help me choose.
Asilzoda:
Ugh, are you going to work or to a fashion show?
Bahora:
You're right, I'll take the pink one. It matches my outfit too.
Asilzoda:
That's not what I said, though...
Bahora:
Alright, I've decided. Let's go now, or we'll be late. Oh, by the way, did you call a taxi?
Asilzoda:
What for? If we walk, we'll be there in 30 minutes.
Bahora:
Wait, are we going on foot?
Asilzoda:
Yes, we are. It'll be good exercise — get your blood circulating. Come on, let's walk.
Asilzoda convinces Bahora to walk. As they approach the company, a girl bumps into Asilzoda and falls.
Asilzoda:
Oh no! I'm so sorry. Are you okay? You didn't fall too badly, did you?
Girl:
No, I'm fine. I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm the one who should apologize.
Asilzoda:
No need to apologize.
Girl:
Please excuse me, I was in a hurry. I'll go now. Have a nice day.
Asilzoda:
You too.
Bahora:
She seemed really rushed — look, she's running off.
Asilzoda:
Seems like it.
Bahora looks down and sees a wallet on the ground.
Bahora:
Look — isn't this the girl's wallet?
Asilzoda:
Let me see. I think it is. Hey! Miss, your wallet! You dropped it!
Bahora:
She's already gone. She can't hear you.
Bahora:
Open it. Maybe there's a business card or a phone number inside.
Asilzoda:
Good idea.
Asilzoda opens the wallet and finds the girl's ID.
Asilzoda:
Look, her passport is here.
Bahora:
What's her name?
Asilzoda:
Kang Yoojin. She's our age.
Bahora:
Perfect. We just have to find her and return the wallet. But let's handle this after work. We need to get going.
The girls agree to look for the wallet's owner after work.
Bahora:
My dad said someone was supposed to meet us.
Asilzoda:
Isn't that man over there?
Bahora:
Yes, that's him. Let's go. Secretary Lee, it's been a long time!
Secretary Lee:
Young miss, I'm happy to see you safe and well.
Bahora:
Please, Secretary Lee, don't speak so formally — you're making it awkward.
Oh, by the way, this is my friend, Sultonva Asilzoda. Asilzoda, meet my father's secretary, Mr. Lee Jihoon.
Asilzoda:
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Secretary Lee:
Likewise. Please, just call me Secretary Lee. Come, follow me.
The girls enter the company.
Secretary Lee:
The president said you've changed a lot, and he was right. Last time I saw you, you were so thin and pale.
Bahora:
Haha, yes, I've changed quite a bit. But Secretary Lee, please don't let anyone here know that I'm the president's daughter.
Secretary Lee:
Understood. Let's go, I'll introduce you to your new supervisor.
Secretary Lee:
Mr. Park, I've brought your new employees. Girls, this is your department head, Park Joon-sen.
Boss Park:
Pleased to meet you both.
Girls:
Pleased to meet you too.
Secretary Lee:
I'll leave now. I'm trusting them to you, Mr. Park.
Boss Park:
Alright, Secretary Lee. See you later. Girls, follow me to my office.
Inside the office:
Boss Park:
I read your résumés. You're both very impressive. I hope we can work well together.
Girls:
We hope so too, sir.
Boss Park:
Alright, let's go. I'll introduce you to the rest of the team.
Attention everyone, just a minute! Meet our department's new employees!
Asilzoda:
I'm Sultonva Asilzoda. I'm happy to meet you all and I hope we'll work well together.
Bahora:
I'm Shamayeva Bahora. I'm also happy to meet you.
Boss Park:
Manager Kim, please come over.
Girls, this is Manager Kim. You'll be working with him as part of a team.
Manager Kim, I'm entrusting these two to you. That's it for today's announcement — everyone, back to work!
Manager Kim:
I'm Kim Min Jun. Nice to meet you both. Starting today, we'll be working together as one team.
Let me introduce you to another member of our group.
Bahora:
Asilzoda, look — that's the same girl from this morning!
Manager Kim:
Meet Kang Yoojin. Kang Yoojin, these are our new colleagues: Sultonva Asilzoda and Shamayeva Bahora.
Kang Yoojin is our third protagonist. She's 22 years old, an only child, introverted, and prefers dark colors.
Three wounds. One sky. And now the third hero. What trials await us all? We'll find out in the next chapter...
Thanks for reading, I look forward to your thoughts.
