Chapter 6: Let's Go on a Blind Date!
“Pstt, pstt” calls Bo Ra in the middle of a boring meeting, interrupting my concentration.
I looked up, he pointed at his phone. I reached into my blazer bag and saw the message Bo Ra sent.
Jung Bo Ra: Let's go on a blind date!
Min Seola: Follow
Ok Bit Na: When?
Jung Bo Ra: tonight at the usual place.
*****
Saxofone music lines echoed in the cafe The 30’s club, the three of us sitting at table number 9 ordered by Bo Ra. There were three men already waiting there it seemed they had just gotten acquainted when it arrived.
“Come to toilet” whispered Seola
The three of us went to the toilet tidying up our makeup. Seola's purple hair has changed color to baby pink while my brown hair, I've polish to natural black only Bo Ra who survives with her blonde hair.
I wore a coral-colored floral dress and black boots, Bo Ra wore a satin shirt and trousers while Seola wore a black shirt, jeans and sneakers.
“Anyonghaseo” greet Bo Ra on the three of them.
We met each other and greeted each other. The man I met Ahn Min Woo works in furniture. Our conversations are very connected, especially about work. I even kindly offer advertising design for their company, certainly with low price and good quality. We exchanged cell phone numbers and after two streets we decided not to go on a blind date but instead to become a business partner. That's fair.
After the first blind date I more often go on blind dates at the cafe 30’s special blind dates age 30 and above. On my fourteenth blind date I met a man who had just celebrated his 40th birthday. He seems to be enjoying his life well.
Our date was very rigid and she repeatedly apologized for not being as interesting as the one written on her profile. I hope I don't see him again.
“How is blind dating?” I asked Bo Ra.
We have rarely interacted since the new employee broke into our division and Bo Ra was in charge of teaching him. It seems that he does not like his new job, whether it is possible for the new child to be the grandson of the owner of the company and he himself who appointed Bo Ra to be his field companion.
“Unsuccess” Bo Ra says fast.
“Why?” my many. Bo Ra's blind date frequency is increasing this one month, maybe he's frustrated with the new kid and vented it on a blind date.
“Entahlah” Bo Ra replied.
“You're still on a blind date?” ask Seola
My eyebrows raised suspiciously with Seola's question.
My division employee often sees you with the granddaughter of the company owner.
“Why didn't you ask her out? I heard you guys from the same junior high school” I said.
Bo Ra's face looked even more stupid.
“If only I had a date with the granddaughter of the president, I would have immediately invited her to marry” granddaughter Bo Ra.
“Why not take me directly?” a voice appeared behind them.
Like a movie scene, they moved slowly looking at the owner of that heavy voice.
No need to look, Bo Ra memorized who the owner of the voice was.
And fucking Gun Woo, the new kid who made his job pile up.
Waitaminute! Bo Ra's brain thinks fast. And Gun Woo - Dan Tae San. Ah, damn him is the granddaughter of the president in question.
“Why diam” voice heavy And Gun Woo intimidates Bo Ra.
Just this time I saw Jung Bo Ra the installment queen shrinking, fear and shame clearly drawn on her face.
“You guys ever dated?” min Seola asked presumptuously, then closed her mouth.
Jung Bo Ra looked at Min Seola with a gaze ‘don't dare-dare’
“She asked me out during Junior High, and I turned her down” Gun Woo said flatly.
It felt like Bo Ra jumped from the window of the building.
“Excuse me, you blocked the entrance” Miss Shin Mirae the chairman of the Marketing Team, interrupted us. I saw Bo Ra's relieved face immediately disappear from that place. I saw another great-looking scene, and the cold Gun Woo gave a small smile.

The ringing of the cell phone stops the activity of cleaning the room.
“Eomma” my handkerchief when picking up the phone.
“Christmas go home later, take Jae Yoon as well. I haven't seen him in a long time,” my mother said.
“Cannot. My work piles. Me and Jae Yoon have broken up,” I said coldly.
“What did you say?? Stop your stubborn apologies and say you don't think when you break up. Think about your age too, it's hard to find a replacement like Jae Yoon!,” my mother shouted for the second time.
I haven't had a chance to defend my mother hanging up the phone.
