Chapter 1 - Y/N's messed up day - Fem POV

(Still really bad at writing stories (˙▿˙) so bear with me)

Y/N was an average girl, college graduate and nice partner. She was happy with her life. What could be better than that?

She was happy until one day, she went to work and all it took were a few words from her boss to bring it all crashing down.

"Y/N, we have to let you go." Her boss told her with pity in his eyes.  Y/N felt the pain and betrayal like nothing else. She couldn't even look him in the eye as he told her how much he wished for things to be different, but this is how things have been.

"Thank you sir, I understand. I'm sorry." Y/N stood there staring off to the side not looking anyone in the eye, her whole world had been turned on its head. She never thought something like this would happen to her.

Y/N walked out the building feeling numb and broken.  She drove back home, not knowing where else to go or what to do. The streets blurred by slowly like they did last time. She felt tears stream down her face as she stared out the window seeing nothing but a blur of gray. It wasn't long before Y/N pulled up into her driveway. She sat there for awhile thinking about how everything has changed.

Soon enough, there was a gentle knock on the passenger side window. It took her out of her trance and Y/N quickly looked over to see her boyfriend waiting patiently on the other side. The sight warmed her heart, she opened the door and got out. Her boyfriend, Jujie, smiled when Y/N got close. He then wrapped his arms around her, holding onto her tightly.

"I heard what happened, I'm so sorry, love." He whispered gently pressing kisses to her forehead and cheek.

It didn't take Y/N long to start crying, she buried her face in his chest and gripped onto the fabric of his shirt. The two sat in silence, just enjoying the presence of each other.  After what felt like forever, Y/N finally pulled away slightly and wiped her tear streaked cheeks.

"Listen, Y/N. I actually got a job offering the mail today. I applied for this new job at a hotel in the city, but it seems like you need it more than I do. Plus, we get free accommodation and a pretty decent amount of money, so please don't tell me no!" His voice was full of determination and hope. If anything, Y/N would never tell Jujie that it sounded too good to be true.

"You know what.. sure!" Y/N whispered. Jujie's smile widened even further at hearing that. He hugged her tighter again and planted a kiss right next to her ear.

"I can't wait to show you! You'll love it, trust me. Come on, you gotta put your stuff away and come inside. I made hot chocolate and everything!"  With that, Jujie walked into the house with Y/N following behind closely.

They talked and laughed for the rest of the evening, only pausing occasionally to watch a movie together or eat some snacks. Eventually, it became late, and Y/N decided that it was time to go to bed.
"Well.. Goodnight Jujie, I had fun tonight. I think I should be able to sleep easy now." Y/N tried to smile through her tears, but failed miserably.

"Goodnight, love. I'll see you in the morning. I love you." Jujie gave Y/N a quick peck and then headed off in his own direction.
Once he disappeared from sight, Y/N laid in her bed thinking about her life and where things are supposed to go.

Before Y/N knew it, she was in a deep sleep, filled with dreams that weren't hers to remember. The next morning came far too soon and the moment it did, Y/N woke up, still a little sore and tired from staying up so late the night prior. When she got ready, she checked herself in the mirror, wondering if anything was missing. She brushed her teeth and washed her face, making sure that nothing had gone wrong while asleep. Then she headed downstairs and found Jujie sitting at the kitchen table reading a book. As soon as she set foot in the room, he looked up smiling brightly at her. "Morning, princess! How was your night?" He asked as she joined him.

"You have that job interview today, remember?"

"What?" Y/N replied groggily.

"Oh, I didn't tell you? Anyway, we need to be there at around 11:30. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine with it."

A few hours later, the two were standing outside the door of the hotel Jujie was talking about.

-Jack's POV-

"I knew I had a problem with my coffee... How can someone drink such horrible black coffee?" Jack muttered as he poured himself yet another cup of coffee. The dark brown liquid swirled around the rim as it slid off the top of his mug. The smell was strong and bitter. Jack grimaced as he tasted the bitter, foul tasting substance. He placed his mug down and leaned back in his chair while letting out a sigh.

"Jack, you gotta stop drinking so much. Just one more sip... That's it. One more sip... One more..." Jack's hands trembled slightly as he reached toward his mug. Slowly, he raised the cup to his lips and chugged it down like it was his very last drop of water.

Jack closed his eyes and sighed deeply as the taste faded, giving way to a pleasant feeling that lingered after. "That's disgusting, Jack!" Said a fimiliar voice. Jack opened his eyes slowly and saw the annoyance himself, Shadow. "Plus, work is about to start soon, and if you're not there to greet the clients then it won't help the business, will it?" Shadow said with a scowl etched on his face.
Jack simply groaned in response. He knew Shadow was right, and he hated that.

Soon enough, Jack got dressed and trudged towards the hotel reception. He clocked in and stood next to Glitch.

"Long night?" Glitch inquired.

"You have no idea.." Jack replied.

Jack looked up and saw what seemed to be a couple standing outside of the hotel doors. The hotel was in a relatively rural area and wasn't busy at all, so Jack was wondering why they were here, in the middle of nowhere.

Screech opened the door for them.

"Hey! I'm Screech! Nice to meet you! Why are you here?!" He jumped up and down excitedly as he waited for them to answer.

Seek ran over to Screech and pulled him away. "Apologies. You're here for the interview, right?"

"Yep, that's me!" Y/N giggled shyly.

Seek gestured for Y/N and Glitch to follow him.

"And you sir, you can stay here." Seek said to Jujie.

-Y/N's POV-

The trio walked through a series of hallways before getting to an office, entering, and sitting down. "Glitch, you can interview her." Added Seek.

After that, Seek left the room.

"Listen, I'm just going to ask an obvious question first. You comfortable working with those monsters?" Glitch tilted his head.

"Uh, well... I mean I guess so? But, I don't know. They aren't bad people, right?"

"No comment. So, let's begin.."

Glitch asked questions for almost thirty minutes, trying to determine if Y/N was suitable or not. Once he was satisfied with Y/N's answers, he asked for some background information about her.

"Alright.. guess you're hired!" A huge grin formed on her face as she finished writing down her details. Glitch smiled as well at her reaction and handed her the paper with her resume.

"Now, just sign this paper. It'll confirm that you want to become part of our staff. We also want to hire you because the pay is quite generous considering the circumstances. Now, sign here and here," he continued handing her several different papers.
Y/N took all of them and signed without hesitation. "Great! Well, thank you so much for accepting us, Y/N!" Said Glitch happily.

"You can start tomorrow. Seek will take you and your partner to your room."
