The MaskJinah groaned upon finishing her presentation for the coming week. It was a big project she had been preparing for. She would be working as the team leader on a project in Beijing. Again. Her team would be designing a house for one of China’s richest people. Modern, simple and exquisite. They wanted to stand out and they would make it happen.
Working in Beijing was actually not a problem. She had an apartment and a car that the company had provided. The only thing that she did not like was being away from her friends and her favorite cousin, Junsu. The people there were friendly, but she would get too stressed out most of the time. They were really hardworking that it pressured her big time. Whenever she saw them doing some work while she was free, she would start to think, ‘Am I not hardworking enough?

Although they didn’t see each other anymore that often due to their hectic and different schedules, they made time for each other, especially when it came to special occasions like birthdays and the group’s anniversaries. If they were lucky, they would be together at times like today – all of them were free at night.
She got out of her car and parked it in front of the studio. She noticed two familiar cars parked beside each other and only one thing crossed her mind –
‘They are here.’
She grinned slightly at the thought and checked herself in the reflection of the studio’s window to see if she had a dirt on her face and nose or if her hair looked like a nest. Finally satisfied with herself, she keyed in the code to open the door and walked in.
One thing that they loved about the studio was that it was high-tech. Only the studio’s members knew the password. The studio was actually small and only had one big room to train at. The
