Monday
He parks the car, mindful of its size and shiny edges. He was embarrassed when Koto-san in the box buzzed him through, making an impressed face.
His manager is in today. Former manager. They spoke on the phone, but Jin still had the uniform.
He bows deeply when he hands it back. "I really appreciated this opportunity," he says, and means it. Maybe he's the only person who ever felt this way about stepping out of a dead-end night watch job. "I'm so sorry I didn't give you more notice."
"Ah, don't worry," his mananger waves. "We've got applications. And Takeshi-kun was happy to take double shifts last weekend. His mom's operation, you know."
He knows. He knows about their moms and kids and dogs; what teams they support and how they take their coffee.
He'll miss them.
Then he gets a keyring with the company logo as a souvenir.

He'll miss them. --he'll probably miss the camaraderie that he had with his former workmates..and being normal, now that he's going back to the wonderful, glittery world of johnny' entertainment..

Date: 2013-02-26 04:44 pm (UTC)He'll indeed miss being 'normal', yeah. :-/ But, well.

Date: 2013-02-25 03:28 pm (UTC)Also glad the manager isn't pissed at him. Probably because he's got plenty of new candidates, but still.
Wait. The car. Shiny and all. He got it through his new job, didn't he?
Damn, Kame, you're... I want to insult him but I can't because that's pretty awesome. Even if it's somewhat sneaky.

Date: 2013-02-26 04:44 pm (UTC)And yeah, the manager liked Jin, but it's not a super complex skill set he now has to find again. >_>

Date: 2013-02-25 11:26 pm (UTC)This was really sweet honestly. How Jin genuinely cared about his little low paying job and his fellow low earning coworkers. And he even gets a keyring. :D
I really like the drabble idea too.
SDW drabbles would be amazing too.Thanks for these!! (in case I don't get the chance to comment on all of them.)

Date: 2013-02-26 04:46 pm (UTC)Glad you like the drabble idea! SDW drabbles, not really, but we haven't forgotten about the ficlets we promised; they just got derailed by this novel. They're next on the list!

Date: 2013-02-26 01:26 am (UTC)His former colleagues are so nice even though they haven't known him for very long. This job really helped Jin build up some of his lost confidence so it's nice to see it seems they're happy for him for finding something better.
Can't wait for Jin's first day at the office and being (re)introduced to the company(no subject)
Date: 2013-02-26 04:47 pm (UTC)We think Jin wouldn't have had opinions on the details of the car. >_>

Date: 2013-02-26 05:59 pm (UTC)But woah, this is so final now. It's good, though. A completely new life for Jin. And it's great he appreciated the box so much. Great how he realized that the job really helped him and that it was one he didn't mind after all the other shitty jobs he had. And at least he has a souvenir now! :D Souvenirs are great and now he at least has a keyring for car keys or keys to his new apartment
or to Kame's. *____* (I like keyrings, okay? ;__; I have more keyrings than keys. >___> #random)(no subject)
Date: 2013-03-04 07:12 pm (UTC)He can definitely use the key ring. *g* Always useful!
