"Oh no." I groaned. I'd slept in again. I looked around, and everyone was already working. My stomach grumbled, and I remembered I didn't eat anything yesterday, after The Gally Show went live at lunch. I rubbed my eyes, as I stood up.

"Hey, sleepyhead." Winston said, approaching me.

"Hi. What time is it?" I responded, tiredly.

"Only about 10:30." He smiled, "I uh, couldn't help but notice you and loverboy last night." I groaned again. Why was I always embarrassing myself?

"So?" I asked, sounding more aggravated than I actually was.

"I don't really see what Gally's problem is with it. He clearly hates it, but, why? Is because of that time he got in your face, and got karma or something?" I shrugged,

"I don't know. It's Gally, and he is a rollercoaster, with legs." Winston chuckled at my joke, and began walking with me towards the homestead.

"So, how is it? Dating Minho I mean." He continued.

"Why? You interested?" We both laughed.

"Not in him, no. He's not the one getting made fun of at lunchtime." I smirked,

"So you're interested in me?"

"As a friend, yes. You should take the day off, so we can get to know each other better."

'Hm. That doesn't sound too bad.' I thought, before turning around to face him. "Are you asking me out on a date, Winston?" I teased.

"Ha ha, very funny. You're with Minho, remember?"

"How could I forget it? It's not like he's gone most of the day or something." I suddenly felt disappointed, and depressed. Sure, Minho's great! When he's here, anyway.

"Well, I mean, you could talk to him about, you know, shifts." Winston teased.

"Shifts?" I asked, confused. What did he mean by shifts?

"Minho gets the night shift, and someone else gets the day shift." Winston chuckled, clearly joking.

"Actually, that's not bad. I won't be lonely throughout the day." I considered the thought. "Maybe he could sign something." I joked, "Anyway, I will mention it to him. Just to see how he reacts."

"And, what if he approves of it? What then? You'll tell him it was a joke?" Winston asked.

"Probably not. Nobody would wanna date a girl who only works the day shift anyway." I fiddled with my fingers.

"If she was a nice girl, I would." He whispered.

"You would?" I suddenly felt intrigued.

"I, guess so. But she'd have to say yes first, as would her night-shift boyfriend. Firstly, you should ask Newt."

"I would not! Not after what happened! No! No, no, NO!" I laughed. Winston and I could really have a good time. I could not believe we were actually joking about this.

"Yeah, I mean, I like you, and you're a really nice girl. A guy would be lucky to have you." Winston added. I stopped in my tracks when I realized: Winston wasn't joking about this...
