In Search of Our Destiny
As she recounted the events, Su-Jin was careful to get past the car incident quickly, though. She knew how much her brother disliked dangerous situations like that. Since their parents died in a car accident, anything related to that had been a rather sensitive subject for Min-Jun. Although she hadn't been affected in the same way, Su-Jin also had her own issues. It was just that her will to save the kitten made her forget all about her fears.
"What should we call it?" Min-Jun asked all of a sudden, gesturing with his chin towards the kitten. He leaned against the kitchen table, gazing down as the kitten drank its milk.
"Hmmm… good question." Su-Jin said pensively. "The people at the veterinary office told me to name it as soon as possible, and that it should be a male name."
Su-Jin paused, thinking for a moment. Then, as she got an idea, her eyes suddenly turned bright.
"How about we call it 'Moheom'?" she asked her brother ecstatically. "It means adventure. I think it's very fitting, since the kitten was saved through an adventure. And we can call it Moh for short."
Min-Jun scrunched up his nose.
"I would go for 'Gyojeon', though. The one from 'encounter'. You did meet that Director guy through this cat, didn't you?" he added meaningfully.
"Don't remind me about it. That man was odious." Su-Jin retorted viciously.
At the mention of Director Kang, the brightness of her eyes dimmed considerably. She felt like grinding her teeth from vexation.
It appeared the kitten liked the name, though, because at the sound of Gyojeon it raised its head and meowed. Therefore, however much Su-Jin disliked the reasoning behind the name, she had to forfeit.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Gyojeon it is then." She sighed in defeat.
Just then, the front door opened, and a loud voice came from the hallway. Su-Jin hurried to welcome Mi-Suk, leaving Min-Jun in the kitchen to watch over the kitten.
"I'm home! And guess what I brough?" Mi-Suk said excitedly, dangling a bag in front of Su-Jin's eyes.
"Chicken and beer." Su-Jin replied without a change in expression.
"Eeh? How did you know?" Mi-Suk asked, disappointment settling on her face. Even her hand lowered until it ended up laying limply by her side.
"Min-Jun told me."
"Ah, Min-Jun you traitor! It was supposed to be a surprise." Mi-Suk pouted.
At the sight of her friend's expression, Su-Jin chuckled, shaking her head slowly.
The young woman pursed her red lips even more, the corners of her mouth wrinkling in the process. Despite the childish expression, Mi-Suk still managed to somehow look attractive.
That was Mi-Suk's greatest charm. She could look delightful regardless of the situation or the expressions she made. Her shoulder-length black hair was always styled with taste, and her white skin highlighted her dark brown eyes. She also managed to look good in any type of clothes.
Even though Su-Jin wasn't ashamed with her looks, she still had moments when she envied her best friend for her natural beauty.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Mi-Suk suddenly shrieked, making Su-Jin jump in fright.
While the two young women were talking, Min-Jun had quietly appeared in the living room, while holding the kitten pressed against his chest. The tiny creature was curled up and fast asleep.
"Would you lower your voice, you crazy banshee!" Min-Jun hissed at her. "Gyojeon had just fallen asleep." He added in a lower tone, patting the kitten gently.
She leaned forward, carefully touching the fluffy grey fur. She allowed her fingers to slide gently across the kitten's back, slowly tracing the spine, and finally going up towards the head, until her fingers ultimately touched Min-Jun's.
At that point, they both stopped their movements, and stared at their hands. A second later, Min-Jun cleared his throat, and took a small step back.
"I'm going to my room to study. You two can have the living room for tonight."
And with that, he turned around and left, carrying the sleeping kitten at his chest.
"Hey! Why are you taking it with you?" Mi-Suk shouted after him.
Min-Jun stopped walking, his left foot already touching the first step. He turned his head slowly, and spoke over his shoulder.
"Because this creature has been through enough today. Last thing it needs is to stay with two crazy, screeching women."
"Who are you calling crazy?" Su-Jin couldn't help but ask.
"Who are you calling screeching?" Mi-Suk asked at the same time.
They were both currently scowling at him, looking as though they had been terribly wronged.
At the sight of their expression, Min-Jun's lips curved into a teasing smile.
"At least you know which one is which." He said simply. Then, he started climbing the stairs, completely ignoring their scandalized expressions.
"That boy is getting cheekier by the day." Su-Jin said, letting out an indignant huff.
"Indeed. Gone are the days when I could frighten him with just a look." sighed Mi-Suk, shaking her head slowly.
Indeed, Mi-Suk used to have quite some power over Min-Jun. Ever since they were young, he would freeze and look completely frightened whenever she scowled at him. His eyes would always grow wide, and his mouth quivered. In recent years, though, the only reaction she could get from him if she attempted to threaten him, was a teasing smirk, at best. Most of the time, though, he wouldn't even deign to move a muscle on his face.
Su-Jin was the first to snap out of her previous state of mind. She rubbed her stomach, smacking her lips together.
"Let us eat and drink. I am starving."
"Give me a minute to go and change." Mi-Suk replied, shoving the bag she was still holding in Su-Jin's arms.
While Mi-Suk was up in her room changing her clothes, Su-Jin got the low table in the living room ready for the feast. She carefully took out the chicken packages and the cans of beer, then flopped onto the floor.
That was what they usually had for dinner whenever they wanted to celebrate something. In their opinion, chicken and beer was the best combination when you were happy.
Ten minutes later, the two young women were sitting across from each other, munching on the food, and gulping down the beer. In between bites, Su-Jin told Mi-Suk all about her adventurous first day of work. She started with the kitten debacle, and ended with the characterization of Director Kang.
It had to be said, though, that the latter part had been spoken from a rather biased perspective.. Director Kang might not agree with even half of it.

"Oh, my goodness, it is so adorable." Mi-Suk cooed, drawing closer.She leaned forward, carefully touching the fluffy grey fur.
