You sat on the small swirly chair, swaying back and forth as your manager continued to lay the rules and expectations out for you.

For example, like don't be late, always do your best or go bigger, don't talk to the idols, and most importantly don't flirt with them or make them upset.

But who even cares, you just came here for the money and your passionate of makeup. If you didn't land any job soon ,your mom would've made you drop everything and forced you back into to school. Become some doctor or dentist, nothing you looked forward to, so you were very thankful to land this job. This is what you wanted and you don't want anything to mess it up.

"So at times you will be working with different members, or sometimes two" he continued to explain. You subconsciously nodded your head blaring out some of the things he said, and just went back to focus on your nails. A fresh new manicure, you went for a soft look. A soft green with tiny daisy painted around, so cute you thought.

"So today you'll be with Seungkwan" Mr. Kang smiled as he pointed over towards the door. You smiled back, brushing your skirt off giving him a bow before heading off, you of course thank him again for hiring you and that you were looking forward to it all.

As you walked down the small narrow hallway, glancing around at the doors looking for the set. How hard could it be? There's like usually seven members in a group, plus you don't consider yourself a flirt. Just go in there and make him look hot or hotter.

You finally came to a door, reading the name SEVENTEEN in big bold letters, it was the loudest too. You took a quick breather clutching onto your small makeup box, as you finally pressed the door opened.

You could feel your eyes widen at the sight that was in front of you. Holy shit. You didn't want to mentally curse, but so many boys lined up in chairs and a few stretched out on a nearby couch. Some sleep while others shamelessly scrolled through their phone.

A tall man with rounded glasses approach you, this must've been Mr. Yoon "L/N?" he pointed "Y/N L/N?" He asked again. You picked your jaw up nodding your head "that's me!" You confidently smiled.

"Great, you're on seat eleven with Seungkwan" he order while checking down on his watch "I'll check back with you after 10, just to see how you're doing but impress me" he winked before walking away.

Alright, seat eleven, Seugkwan.

You carefully walked past a few of the artist and idols, a few very off topic conversations. One rambled about some sort of tiger agenda he had, and the other about how he just loved to tease the other members.

As you finally got to the chair, you glanced around to see a set of two more chairs beside you.

Finally placing your box in front, opening it up mixing your makeup with the ones they had out on the mirror.

"Seungkwan!" You called out, a boy quickly stood up filling in the seat. He took a quick sip out of his americano before placing it down "are you new? I haven't seen you around" he smiled up at you. You nodded your head as you looked down at the photos your manger has sent you in your email. They were going for a very soft but dark look. "I'm Y/N L/N" you introduced as he hummed.

You started to moisturizer his face, then plopping small dots of foundation around. Blending it all in, you couldn't help but look down at the beauty that was right in front of you, you couldn't believe you were doing some idols makeup. This was your dream! Doing makeup for a living and getting paid.

"Do you think I look bloated?" He suddenly asked, you shake your head no "I think you look just fine" you nervously smiled. You didn't want to make any conversation, you hate to admit.

"You're very shy, don't worry I don't bite" he chuckled as you started to work on his eye makeup. You glanced around the room checking to see other artists but got a few stares from the idols.

"How many members are there again?" You embarrassedly asked "thirteen" he answered "we should be doing roll call soon actually."

He wasn't wrong, because soon the manager bursted through the door shouting out for the start of roll call. You watched numbers being shouted out while a few being skipped, meaning they were missing or maybe just still sleeping.

"Eleven!" Seungkwan finally shout, hearing twelve and thirteen being shouted in the back of you. "It's always this chaotic, you'll get use to it after awhile" he yawned as you pulled away from his face, he fixed himself back onto the chair.

"But don't even stress, i know you got it"  he said, you did a few last touches on his eye, moving onto his lips as you placed a bit of a lip tint on. His eyes fluttered midway causing for you two to make small eye contact, you nervously looked away.

"Sorry I just wanted to see you up close" he confessed, a sly grinned appeared on his lips "I'm sorry" he apologized again "you have nice eyes."

Seungkwan then glanced at the mirror in front, checking himself out, he beamed right up at you again "you did amazing" he smiled again.

Mr Yoon finally came by, staring down at seungkwan, studying your work. You prepared yourself to hear the grade "maybe next time go soft on his outer corners" he lowered his glasses staring over at you. You nodded your head, taking in a mental note "I think she did well, I feel amazing actually" Seungkwan added.

Mr. Yoon smiled "then you did amazing, love the work. Make sure to read my next email and read it carefully!" He instructed "it'll have the date and time and address for the next shoot, please don't fail on me like the last other artist did" he groaned "don't even stress" you giggled.

"We'll meet again" seungkwan stood, still holding onto his big smile "maybe next time I can bring you a coffee, would you like that?" He questioned. You shyly shake your head "no no it's fine, I don't really like coffee" "really? Is there anything I could bring you?" "No I'm fine but thank you Seungkwan" you thanked causing for a bit of blush too raise against his cheek.

They roll call again, and soon the members left one by one and the room started to grow quiet and it was just filled with people cleaning and packing things up again.

As you finished helping around, you loudly groan plopping down on the chair. Many of the other artist did the same trying to squeeze in a small break.

The person beside you suddenly turned "you'll get use to it" she giggled. "I hope so, is this how it normally looks?" You asked, she simply nodded her head "yeah, if we're lucky half the members fall asleep. They're like toddlers, but in a good way.. do you get me?" You just nodded your head.

"I'm Sol" she introduced "Y/n" you did the gesture back. "I heard seungkwan wanted to buy you a drink, I may warn the boys are huge flirts" she raised both brows suddenly pointing to the other end of the room. "Soojin usually flirts with them, but that's our secret.." She frowned "she claims them all which is odd, because all thirteen? I mean save us some" "you're-" you passed glancing between her and the other girl pausing in mid sentence.

"You're interested in one?" You asked again, I thought we were suppose to follow the rules. "No I have a boyfriend" she giggled.

You silently sat still trying to process all the information in your head, it was all too much and overwhelming. You literally walked into a loud and very chaotic room, to now sitting in a very quiet room, only to hear one of your coworkers flirts with the idols for fun.

It was just your first day..

"Wanna grab some lunch with me?" Sol asked, you silently nodded your head picking up your purse you followed her out.

"Which one do you think is cute? Personally they're all cute to me and I can't choose any favorites, when they film gose..you'll understand" she started to ramble as you walked beside her.
