marie headed to work the next day, wearing casual attire today. she had been informed of her schedule which consisted of heading over to the JYP building and doing some sfx makeup for a new recording of maniac.

the streets of seoul weren't particularly cleaner than london but they most definitely didn't burden marie with the heavy-loaded amount of stress that london did. perhaps it was because spring was coming sooner than she expected, and the cherry blossom trees began to slowly bloom.

getting closer and closer to her workplace, marie noticed the amount of fans waiting outside the building with posters, gifts and so much more.

trying to push through the crowd to enter the building, marie was suddenly stopped by security.

"you cant come through." they said monotonously.

the security guard was about six feet tall and wore a black suit— definitely intimidating.

"ah but i work here.." she said shuffling through her bag trying to find her id realising she had left it home.

"... you think you're the first to try out this plan? besides i've never seen you around."

"i started yesterday."

and before they knew it a black van pulled up and the crowd began rampaging— yelling, screaming and chanting as the members of stray kids began to come out of the car and enter the building.

just then marie managed to catch the eyes of one of the members who seemed to recognise her from yesterday.

"hey security, she's with us." the tall male with long blonde hair spoke, whispering into the ear of security who apologised and let them walk past.

once they arrived in the building marie turned to hyunjin and bowed down,

"sorry for the trouble, thank you."

"don't worry about it. come on, you don't want to be late." he smiled back to her before catching up with the other members who were watching them from afar— waiting.







the members of stray kids were all messing around in the practice room: taking photos, taunting another member, drawing on bangchans abs with fake blood or sleeping.

it was quite humorous watching them all hang out— especially when bangchan carried people around to lee know who then smacked their ass.

walking up to jeongin with a pair of scissors in her hand, marie looked at him in the eyes.

"i.n, i need to cut up your jacket a bit more to make you look more rough." she said.

"oh okay, that's fine." he smiled in reply.

as she was doing the finishing touches and applying the last bit of fake blood on each member another staff employee walked up to her— one of the managers from skz that marie wasn't introduced to formally.

"hey do you mind just recording them whilst they just mess around? for the new talker episode. i've got to go to a meeting right now." they asked politely, pleading her to accept the offer.

"uhm, sure!" she said quickly feeling bad for the manager who left the room in a rush.

now she was left with a camera that she had no idea how to use.








after recording many small snippets of the members dancing, marie headed back into the dressing rooms where felix offered to take the camera from her.

marie walked up to i.n who was sat at a couch with a bag in her hand.

"i.n, here's the slippers you gave to me yesterday." she mumbled timidly.

"ah thank you but you should keep them, i already have another pair at my dorm." he dismissed.

looking into the bag marie knew that the shoes were branded and were quite clearly expensive.

"are you sure?"

"yeah it's no big deal, by the way you can call me jeongin, noona." he smiled cheekily towards her.

"oh okay!"

as soon as marie left changbin turned towards i.n,

"yah there's no way i.n is flirting with a girl before i do.." he said flabbergasted

"i.n? flirting? LOLOLOL" han laughed out loud, "he's still a baby."

"hyung dont embarrass me, i was just being nice to her." i.n mumbled covering his face.







standing in the hallway outside the dressing room, pressing a few buttons on the vending machine before hearing a few thumps and grabbing her drink from the bottom.

she sat on the staircase of a rather secluded part of the building that not many walked past— scrolling through her phone and updating on social media.

"a follower request..?" she thought.

she hadn't shared her instagram account with anyone in south korea yet, although her account wasn't private. perhaps one of her work mates saw it on their feed and decided to follow her. so, she accepted it.

"oh? kang marie? was that your name?" she heard someone that just came around the corner speak.

"um yes." she then realised it was hyunjin once again.

he smiled brightly before getting a drink from the vending machine too,

"actually i came out here to take some selfies, but now that you're here can you take some photos of me?" he grinned.

"sure, just hand me your phone." she asked politely as the boy patted down his pockets searching for it.

"..." he said nothing as he looked at marie and chuckled hopelessly, "can we use your phone? i think i left mine in the car.."

"no problem! but how am i going to send you the photos.." she said cluelessly.

"i'll just give you my number." he smirked.

marie pulled her phone from her pockets as hyunjin effortlessly posed infront of the camera taking some serious photos and some cute. her cheeks grew hot as he winked at the camera knowing it wasn't for her but still becoming flustered as he posed.

"here." she showed him the photos she took on her photo, all of which he looked breathtaking in.

"did you put a filter on?" he questioned, confused like a puppy.

"no." she laughed.

"oh.. that's embarrassing."
