Under the shade of a tree in front of a convenience store. Two girls are sitting on a bench while crickets chirp in the afternoon.

Summer is here.

It's hot.

Both indulged themselves in popsicles, trying to beat the summer heat.

"Yunjin, I just realized..."

"Hm?"

"No world is more painful to live in than this one."

"What do you expect? This is reality."

Yunjin could only chuckle and match her best friend's mood.

"If you ever feel down, I'm here. Live a pleasant life in this unpleasant world," she hooked her arm around the latter.

"Well, I guess I can do that." Minjeong huffed, "You know... I just changed jobs."

"Oh?"

"I'm a secretary now. Although the pay looked like a scam... it doesn't matter, I need it so badly."

"How so?"

"The salary is unusually high for a secretary."

"How much?"

"Twelve million won? I think."

"That does sound skeptical huh."

Minjeong ruffled her hair in frustration, she felt that taking this job wouldn't be good for her. But again... the money, she greatly needs it.

"I don't know anymore... If it goes well, then I'll stay."

"Good luck on that."
