It was the next morning. Jiah and Yujun were getting ready for work while Yoona was drinking her coffee. Today they were getting the schedules. Jiah felt a bit nervous, not knowing how busy she was going to be soon. Yujun tried to calm her down by saying this is just for now and that after debut it would be less worse. 

"Jiah, will you really be okay with missing so much school?" Yoona suddenly asked. "I'm sure your teachers will be angry"

"Like I said, I just need to hand in all my assignments. And I did some extra credit too so I'm all caught up"

"Then what about money? You told us you had a pro-"

"It's fine. This job pays me more than any of my jobs ever did" Jiah looked at Yoona. "Stop worrying"

"I'm not worrying. I was just saying.." she took a sip from her coffee. "I'm just happy to see that you're finally starting to live a normal life"

Jiah looked away from the mirror and eyed her friend. She saw how Yoona's eyes filled with tears. Yujun noticed it too and made a loud sobbing sound, rushing to her friend to embrace her.  Jiah chuckled and wandered towards them.

"I told you she would be okay" Yujun sobbed. "I said it"

"Guys I told you not to make a big deal today!"

The two friends were crying as they hugged each other while the youngest stared at them in terror. But she somehow felt happy. For months she could only depend on her friends. And now she was finally going to do something that's just for her. Maybe Yujun would be there too, but it's her job. A new start.

"Okay we should go now" Yujun dried her tears. "Hyeon is already waiting" 

Jiah gave Yoona a hug before saying goodbye. The two girls left the house in a hurry. Jiah sat down in the backseat as Yujun took place on the passenger seat besides her boyfriend. They gave each other a quick kiss, making Jiah roll her eyes. 

"Are you girls working everyday now?"

"I'm not sure. We're going to get the schedule today" Yujun said. "But I'm assuming yes as the group is debuting soon"

"Is that okay with you, Jiah? Aren't you still in school?"

"I am. But my teachers made an exception so it's fine"

The boy nodded. The couple started to have their own conversation while Jiah started to daydream out of the window. She was looking forwards to working soon. She loved to hold a camera and now people will pay her to hold one? If she works a little more, she can buy herself a new camera again and take pictures and videos everyday.

"I'll wait on the parking lot so we can get some breakfast later" 

Jiah and Yujun got out of the car and thanked the boy. They walked into the building and scanned their passes to gain access to the elevators. The girls were talking about their ideal schedules. One day work, one day break, one day work, one day break. It wouldn't be that hard to achieve, right?

When they arrived at their floor, most of the staff were there already. They walked to the office and took place on the couch, waiting for their schedules.

"Okay everyone! Here are your schedules for this month. Please come up to me when you hear your name"

The staff started to read names from A to Z. Yujun was first as her surname starts with the A. She quickly got her schedule and rushed back to Jiah. Her eyes widened.
