A Blissful Love

Chapter 2: Acceptance & Ice cream

CHAPTER 2

I'm so nervous right now, it feels like my heart's going to burst at any moment. Here goes nothing. I then opened the most recent email regarding the job application I did a while ago, and it will determine if I got accepted or not. I skipped all the flowery words that is written above and scrolled directly towards the end, and there it is the word that I was anticipating "We're so sorry to inform you that our interests differs from each other and that it won't work, as you don't fit the position that we are looking for" there's still a continuation to the letter but the only thing that seems to matter are those words. I can't say that it's okay for me since I actually really like the job I was applying to, which is a cook at a well known restaurant. Not only did I like the job but the ay is also huge, enough for me to pay my existing bills and debts.

My day was going good until I read that email, now I'm just wishing that I didn't. What am I going to do now that's the only job opening that I could find where my interests lies. This is bad, really bad, I recently just got over my seasonal depression now I feel like I'm going to get stuck once again and start isolating myself.

"D*mn it! When did I ran out of Ice cream" Just when I'm needing it the most it's gone, how bad can this day get. Even though I don't plan on getting out of my unit at all I still went to my room and got dressed, I just thrown in a sweater and a sweatpants and I'm ready to go.

I went to the nearest convenience store, 2 blocks away from my apartment and honestly even though it's just a short walk I'm very exhausted still.

While browsing the ice cream aisle I heard a familiar voice coming from my back. "Yah Kyu, ice cream on a cold day?" I turned to see Toru looking at me judgementally, as if I'm an alien of some sort. "It's just that-" He immediately cut me off. "Why do I feel like there's a problem related to this job you'd applied to." He asked, the judgemental look he had a while ago getting replaced by concern. "You didn't let me finish, so as I was saying, I didn't got accepted and it's such a shame since I like that job." I finished. The next thing I knew he grabbed all my favorite flavor from the freezer then went to the cashier. "Hey what are you doing, I have my own money you don't have to pay for it." A hue of redness flashing on my cheeks, he remembered my favorite ice cream that I once ranted to him about when I was drunk. "No Kyu you can't stop me now, this is to cheer you up somehow. I know how much you liked getting treated to ice cream when you're feeling down." Gosh what a sweet guy, if only you weren't my best friend.

We then proceeded to go to the nearest park. It's almost sunset so the view is breathtaking, there are also only a few people around and most are couples. But one couple stood out they were lying on each others shoulder, no that's not what makes them stood out it's the fact that they are the same s*x. The courage it takes to display that kind of relationship is huge, considering the fact that other couples are literally looking at them with some kind of disgust and hatred. Gosh these people, it's a different time now they should accept things and they shouldn't be homophobic, it doesn't affect them at all and it doesn't make them cooler in anyway. I'm now getting visibly upset. "Kyu what fault did the ice cream did to the point that you're so upset." he said with a questioning eyes. I then looked down, the ice cream that I was holding now sits on my hand looking like it got butchered by someone with so much hatred inside of them. Well this just perfectly sums up what I'm currently feeling. "Don't worry it's nothing, we should probably get going now, the sun is setting I don't want to be outside when night falls, there are a bunch of thugs getting sighted near." He agreed with me so we left the park and walked our separate ways, but not without comforting me once again "Don't worry about that stupid job they don't deserve your skills anyway there are many jobs out there that will fight just to get you."
