A deep sigh escapes Chaeyeon’s mouth as she dragged her feet towards the 30-story office, flashing her ID at the entrance before silently waiting for the elevator to come. It’s a dull life for her as Chaeyeon’s life compromises waking up at 5 am, commuting to her workplace, and work a long hour until 6 pm before heading back to her house. The monotonous, repetitive routine of hers slowly erasing away Chaeyeon’s mental health and she is now just a walking, breathing zombie who lives just to get some minuscule pay at the end of the month.

She chooses to come early to the office so that she can take a good shower in the free amenities here as well as having a hearty breakfast afterward. Even though the salary wasn’t much, Chaeyeon thought that the office does provide excellent service for their employees to cover up the weakness and win over the competitors, attracting lots of promising young talent who love the laid-back atmosphere in this company.

“Tough life.”

Chaeyeon decides that it will be good for her not to prolong their talk too much or else, this dazzling new executive with a coral-color set of suits might be freaked out by Chaeyeon’s friendliness. Working in the corporate world taught Chaeyeon to always being on guard while minding her line while dealing with others. It’s draining, yes but somewhat entertaining observing people who put on several masks in the office. As she is busy minding her own business, a loud clanking can be heard before the light totally wiped out from the elevator, making Chaeyeon jumped on her spot.
