"Seollin ah, can you get the files ready for the meeting later at 1pm?" Manager Kim pops into Seollin's office at 1230pm to add on another task on her to-do list. Although her main job is the English translator of their company, the recent absence of a personal assistant, schedule coordinator and stylist have made it difficult for her. Hwayoung has been pretending to be nice in front of Manager Kim by suggesting many tasks to be given to Seollin as "she is the best person for all these jobs."

 

Being the responsible girl like she has always been, Seollin has not said no to any tasks so far, sometimes to the extent that she has to skip meals and work from early morning till late night. "Seollin ah, have you eaten your lunch yet?" Daeun is worried for her best friend, but she knows she can never get that girl to reject doing favours for others. Giving a weak smile, Seollin shakes her head. She was busy typing the meeting notes while trying to endure the gastric pain she is experiencing. "Yah..how can you do this to yourself? A job is just a job, you cannot be sacrificing your health like this. Besides, all these are NOT your job." Daeun is getting pissed, putting her hands on her hips and giving a disapproving look.

 

"Hi Seollin~~ Oh Daeun you are here too? Anyway, I'm just here to remind you that the styling session timing for HIGHLIGHT has to be shifted 1 hour earlier. I'm not free this afternoon, so you will be doing all of them on your own. So remember to be there at 1.30pm sharp. You are supposed to be following them out to their recording at KBS later too. See ya~" Hwayoung smirks and gives a little wave before turning around and strutting away. "Seollin unnie, I'm sorry I cannot follow you this afternoon either. Hwayoung unnie told me to stay here, though she has nothing for me to do." Mira whispers and gives a guilty look but Daeun and Seollin know very well that all this are just part of Hwayoung's evil plan to slowly get rid of Seollin by making her super tired. "Dont worry Mira, I understand your position. You be careful of Hwayoung too, alright?" Seollin smiles at the poor intern before heading out for the meeting room to pass the meeting notes to the secretary.

 

Dongwoon walks past them and waves. "Daeun Noona Seollin Noona!..Seollin Noona What happend to you? You look really pale. Are you ok?" Dongwoon asks with a concerned look. "She is being bullied by Hwa.." Daeun was interrupted by Seollin's nudge and slight shake of her head. "It's just my gastritis acting up, I'll be fine after I take my medication. Are the others at the dressing room? Let's go, I'm in charge of your handsome faces today." Seollin gives a quick wave to Daeun before holding onto Dongwoon's arm and head off together to the dressing room.

 

"Hi Seollin!" Kikwang, Junhyung and Doojoon chorus as she enters the dressing room. "You are in charge today? What about Hwayoung and Mira?" Doojoon asks as Seollin starts to set up her makeup kits and hair styling tools. "Both of them are not free today, so I'll be in charge today. Manager Kim said the personal assistant (PA) and manager both have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be charge of their duties for these 2 weeks as well. Who's first?" Seollin tries her best to be bright and cheerful despite her gastritis killing her. To be honest, she is starting to feel light-headed.

 

After an hour of preparing, she is done with everyone else except Yoseob who has been quietly observing her from the side. He knows that she is just pretending to be fine after receiving a text from Daeun. "Yoseob ah, I know Seollin will kill me if she knows about this. But Hwayoung is seriously too much, she has been pushing so much work to Seollin. I overheard t
