"Unnie! Get up! You're late for work!"
.
.
.
.
.
Karina immediately jolted up, her hand reaching out to her phone on her bedside table. Her eyes widened at what time it was and she immediately grabbed her work clothes along with her towel and ran to the bathroom
.
.
.
.
.
"Ahh! Yah! Unnie! I have school what the heck?"
.
.
.
.
.
"Go downstairs to Grandma and take a bath there I'm late for work!"Karina yelled and entered the bathroom
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah! Jimin! I came first!"
.
.
.
.
.
"Let me just bathe unnie! I'll be out in a minute I promise!"Karina replied and instantly showered
.
.
.
.
.
After she was done showering she immediately ran outside and grabbed her blower to dry her hair
.
.
.
.
.
"Jimin-ah! Eat you breakfast before you go to work"
.
.
.
.
.
"Aish! Why doesn't my hair dry faster?"Karina frustratingly asked and settled her dryer down, combing her hair and grabbing her bag before running out
.
.
.
.
.
"Jimin! Yah! Breakfast!"
.
.
.
.
.
"I don't have time Tiffany unnie! I'll eat at work I promise!"Karina replied and putted on her shoe
.
.
.
.
.
"Unnie! Are you going? Take me with you, I need to ride the subway too"
.
.
.
.
.
"Well hurry up then! I'm late already"Karina replied
.
.
.
.
.
"You're not taking the car unnie?"
.
.
.
.
.
"It's traffic! You go take it"Karina said
.
.
.
.
.
"Ppali Yuna! Yah!"Karina exclaimed and her sister immediately came out of her room
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm done, I'm done let's go"Yuna replied and putted on her shoe
.
.
.
.
.
The two sisters immediately ran out of their house, running down the stairs of the apartment and bidding their goodbyes to their grandma
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah Jimin-ah! Breakfast?"Their grandma asked
.
.
.
.
.
"No time haelmoni! I'll eat at work! I'll buy Yuna her breakfast!"Karina replied and pulled on her sister who was about to grab a sandwich from their grandma
.
.
.
.
.
"Aye unnie! I wanted one"Yuna complained
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll give you 500 won, buy yourself food before you head inside your school"Karina said and Yuna didn't complain anymore, as they reached the subway Karina gave Yuna the money before going her way
.
.

.
"God..... Having a family this big is not easy, I see why Mom and Dad are always frustrated"Karina told herself as she got on the train, she quickly sat at the empty seat and sighed
.
.
.
.
.
"A family of 10 is much more frustrating than it seems..... Aish! Appa why did you have to cheat on mom then take her away to some island that you didn't even reach because you didn't check that there was a storm?"Karina thought to herself as she watched the stations she was going through
.
.
.
.
.
Karina quickly stood up as the train stopped at her destination, running through the crowds that filled the subway. She panted as she finally reached her workplace, fixing herself before walking in
.
.
.
.
.
"Morning Rina"
.
.
.
.
.
"Morning Giselle, What's the news with the cases?"Karina asked and grabbed an envelope that was stacked in one of the empty tables
.
.
.
.
.
"The usual, you've got a frustrated mother later and ofcourse.... Another annulment case"Giselle said and handed Karina some documents
.
.
.
.
.
"Morning Rina, looking fresh today no rush?"
.
.
.
.
.
"Actually there was, good thing I made it before boss came what about you oppa?"Karina asked back
.
.
.
.
.
"Really? You don't look like you just rushed here..... Unlike you know who but anyways I'm quite okay, busy with cases as always"
.
.
.
.
.
"You're always busy because they trust you oppa, you're the famous Jeon Jungkook the one and only"Karina teased and the guy laughed
.
.
.
.
.
"You're such a joker Rina just get back to work, Giselle! Your bestfriend is getting on my good side again!"Jungkook exclaimed and Giselle crossed her arms
.
.
.
.
.
"How come you always say nice things about oppa but not me?"Giselle asked and raised a brow to which Karina only made faces at her before rushing into her office
.
.
.
.
.
"God.... Save me from the nagging of a mother this morning once more"Karina sighed, she settled her things down on her table
.
.
.
.
.
"Rina! Annulment case in the other room, it's yours"Jungkook bursted in, Karina quickly grabbed the documents and rushed out, bowing to Jungkook
.
.
.
.
.
"Hello ma'am, you're early"Karina greeted and sat at her chair Infront of the woman
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm sorry Miss Yoo I'm just really frustrated with my son's marriage and I can't sit around"The woman replied and Karina smiled before taking out her glasses and reading the documents
.
.
.
.
.
"Mr. Nam Jin Hyuck is your son, right ma'am?"Karina asked and the woman nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"My son has been nothing but good, it's that pesky girl that ruined it all! She seduced my son and now everything that they had all went to her"The woman told and Karina forced a smile
.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah as if I didn't interview the wife yesterday.... I remember that husband of hers, the cheating bastard who was out in a club in the middle of the day"Karina thought to herself as she remembered the lady that came the day before, complaining about her husband Nam Jin Hyuck
.
.
.
.
.
"What did she get from your son ma'am?"Karina asked
.
.
.
.
.
"Money! The house and my only grand son!"The mother complained
.
.
.
.
.
"Calm down ma'am, sit down please"Karina calmed her down as she was practically screaming
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm sorry Miss Yoo..... Aish that pesky girl!"The mother muttered
.
.
.
.
.
"Money.... Ahh the savings account that was literally named to the wife... The house that was also payed and been built by the wife and the grandson who picked the mother because his dad was abusive.... Right.... That's a pesky girl alright"Karina internally rolled her eyes as she pinpointed everything. The man was a momma's boy, he's not even turning up to the interviews and just let's his mother do everything for him
.
.
.
.
.
"I just hate self made women! They act all mighty when they finally come out of their filthy lives, Don't you agree Miss Yoo?"The woman asked and Karina just smiled, removing her glasses and settling them down on the table
.
.
.
.
.
"Ma'am.... Your son has records in the police station for abuse and public indecency, clearly your son is in the wrong in this relationship and please don't get me started with the self made women.... You don't know what they go through, better yet what I've gone through because I myself is a self made woman madam"Karina raised a brow and stood up, grabbing her stuff before smiling and bowing to the lady

"Minjeong-ah.... This is no good"

.

"What? You haven't even looked at it properly, Just read it thoroughly I promise it's good!"Winter argued
.
.
.
.
.
"Look, I know this is a big deal to you but you need to do something better! Something like this wouldn't be aired on television"The man said and gave the script back to Winter
.
.
.
.
.
"It's a good show! I promise! Just give it one try!"Winter pleaded and the man sighed
.
.
.
.
.
"One episode, if it doesn't go well you can't put out anymore shows in my name"The man said and Winter nodded her head, leaving the office
.
.
.
.
.
"How'd it go?"
.
.
.
.
.
"Ning.... He said he'll give it a try!"Winter exclaimed happily as she and her bestfriend hugged each other
.
.
.
.
.
"This is your time to shine! I'm sure they'll love the idea!"NingNing said and Winter nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"Let's get coffee? My treat"Winter said and NingNing gave her a look
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm serious this time"Winter added and NingNing smiled at her
.
.
.
.
.
"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go get us a coffee"NingNing said and pulled Winter

"God girl you really went all out with that lady huh? Jeez, she was screaming hysterically when she contacted her son and all she heard was party music. You should've seen her face it was hilarious!"Giselle said as she hooked her arm along with Karina's
.
.
.
.
.
"Just because they pay me doesn't mean I'll just go pretend that their son didn't do anything wrong"Karina replied and Jungkook wrapped his arm around Karina's shoulder
.
.
.
.
.
"This is why you're the one and only Yoo Jimin, the sadistic lawyer"Jungkook joked and Karina poked his side which caused him to wince
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm not sadistic I'm just truthful, there's a difference and not even a small one"Karina replied and Jungkook chuckled
.
.
.
.
.
"Still though, how can you be so direct? Sometimes I wonder whether you even did silly things when you were younger"Giselle asked
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm born with it, and yeah... I didn't do silly things when I was a kid because I was busy trying to learn the systems of the law"Karina replied and rolled her eyes
.
.
.
.
.
"You should take a break sometimes you know? Not everything revolves around work"Jungkook said
.
.
.
.
.
"Trust me I tried and it ended with such bullshit"Karina coldly said and walked ahead of the two
.
.
.
.
.
"What exactly happened?"Jungkook nudged Giselle
.
.
.
.
.
"During College she had a girlfriend, they broke up but I don't know the reason.... It's exactly why she didn't want to 'take a break' from work, she said she might experience it again so no thanks to that... Her words not mine"Giselle explained and Jungkook nodded as they watched Karina walk infront of them
.
.
.
.
.
"What could've happened that time?"

"Sir? You called for me?"Karina asks as she entered the office, bowing politely before she sat down
.
.
.
.
.
"I was wondering if you maybe wanted to do something different, like in work maybe?"Their boss asked
.
.
.
.
.
"Like what Sir? Because I can't be a judge trust me you don't want to put me up there"Karina replied which made her boss laugh
.
.
.
.
.
"No not that, I mean like why not have a twist while working to make it less boring?"He asked and Karina looks at him curiously
.
.

"Are you in?"

"We're starting in 10 minutes! Everyone in position please"
.
.
.
.
.
"You want me to be on that podium? For what? I know nothing of this stuff"Winter argued
.
.
.
.
.
"Well we're short on people and we can't shoot if someone's missing, you don't want that do you? since this is technically your show"The director asked and Winter could only sigh and grab one of the scripts before heading up to the stage where podium's are set
.
.
.
.
.
"Hey uhm... This is for the new show right? I was invited here"
.
.
.
.
.
"Ahh.... One of the lawyers right? Right up there ma'am, here's the script"The director said and gave one of the scripts to the girl, the girl nodded and grabbed it before going up on the stage and to one of the podium's
.
.
.
.
.
Winter looked around on the set and bowed to anyone who greeted her, she froze as she looked at the girl Infront of her who just so happened to be busy reading her script
.
.
.
.
.
"Miss.... Karina Yoo?"The director called and the girl's head flew up along with her hand
.
.
.
.
.
"Okay... Miss Yoo I'm gonna need you to lead the discussions can I count on you ma'am?"The director asked and the girl smiled before nodding her head
.
.
.
.
.
Karina went back to reading the script but she stopped as she felt something eerie around her, she slowly lifted up her head and looked at the girl Infront of her who was staring right at her
.
.
.
.
.
"You've got to be kidding me...."Karina thought
.
.
.
.
.
"It's really her... I thought I'd never see her again but she's here.... Right Infront of me"Winter thought as they stared at each other
.
.
.
.
.
"Right! Before we begin shooting please refer to the person Infront of you as this will be for pairs"The director said and Karina's head turned to him
.
.
.
.
.
"You're fucking joking....."Karina muttered under her breath before raising her hand
.
.
.
.
.
"Excuse me but your script doesn't explain what we have to do here.... I know I'm supposed to lead the discussions but what discussions exactly?"Karina asked
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh! Right! Sorry about that... Well you will be discussing about relationships, the process of it like before, during and after processes of the relationship"The director replied and Karina felt the world crashing down on her
.
.
.
.
.
"You can't be fucking serious.... Out of everything....... It had to be that and with her as well! Can this fucking day get any worse?"
