When Jennie returned home, she felt thirsty. She went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and when she saw it was full of water bottles, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is truly a doctor's refrigerator. There's not even one flavored drink."

Jennie took a bottle and drank a few mouthfuls. She habitually grabbed her mobile phone and intended to order takeaways, only to see its button keyboard. She then remembered smartphones wouldn't be common until a few years later.

Ring!

If Jennie didn't have the phone in her hand, she definitely wouldn't have thought it was her phone that rang.

The electric display showed the name Bae Irene. Her university roommate, who she had a pretty close relationship with. But Irene got married, and everyday would be nothing but mass amounts of showy love which Jennie, a single dog, would consciously avoid lest incurring a critical hit. This caused them to slowly drift apart, and it had been 3 or 4 years since Jennie last saw her.

"Hey," Jennie answered the phone.

"Jen!" A shrill female voice frightened her so much she almost threw her phone. "Help, help!"

"What's wrong?"

Bae Irene was a typical city girl with an upper class background and was an only child. She had high EQ and to speak bluntly, had her road in life paved by other people. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but one of the most admirable qualities about her in Jennie's mind was that in university, if she asked for help, whether it was a current boyfriend or ex-boyfriends, as long as they had the ability, they would rush to help her.

"Are you in Seoul?"

"Yeah," Jennie answered.

"Great, I received an offer to do the dubbing of an idol drama a while ago. But the original dubbing actress I hired suddenly quit. Come and help me," Irene said.

"Am I getting paid?"

"Yes, of course," Irene replied loudly.

"Alright, give me the address!"'

"Then I'll text it to you in a bit. Come straight away on a taxi, I'll reimburse you."

It seemed that she was overanxious, and Jennie figured she needed the money anyway. So she got ready and headed out again.

Jennie didn't need to check her account balance, she knew exactly how much money was in it because 10 years ago, she needed to survive in a new city by herself with only 380.000 won.

But even for future Jennie, 380.000 won was nowhere near enough for her to buy clothes, not to mention the younger Jennie, who had different tastes.

Jennie took a taxi and soon arrived at the address. She bought a watermelon juice nearby and after downing two mouthfuls, entered Irene's studio.

The place wasn't massive, but in a place like Seoul, you would be considered lucky to even afford a 50-inch recording booth.

The decorations of the studio were very stylish, and wouldn't be outdated even after a few years. It must have been decorated by a former ex-boyfriend who studied in design school.
