"Jiah!"

Yujun ran from one side of the to the other with a phone eager to be picked up. Jiah was sitting behind the dining table, trying one of Yoona's new cupcake recipes. 

"It's them"

"Is it?"

"Pick up!"

Jiah had been waiting for this call all morning. It's the phone call about the camera job. She barely got any sleep last night because of the nerves. 

She cleared her throat and took the phone from Yujun.

Hello?

Is this Jung Jiah?

Yes

Hello, I'm Mrs Kang, the head of the camera crew. I would like a moment with you this afternoon if that's possible.

Yes, of course how late

I'll expect you here around three. Take your resume with you and some previous videos or pictures you took

Will do

The second the call got disconnected, both Jiah and Yujun let out a loud scream. Yoona frightened, almost dropping her bowl of cupcake frosting. 

"What is it now?"

"Jiah and I are going to be working together!" Yujun yelled.

"You got the job?!"

"Well she said that we are going to talk this afternoon but-"

"So yes!"

Yoona started to scream and rushed to her friends. The three girls started to jump around in excitement. Jiah hasn't felt this happy in a while. She was finally employed and could work with her friend close to her, nothing could ruin her day.

"And now you can finally earn money and pay the rent"

Yujun sighed. "She's right. You haven't paid in 5 months"

Jiah glared at her, making her quickly be quiet. Because of her social problem, she hasn't been able to get a job. She has made all her money by being a tutor for high schoolers and even then, one of her friends always had to be in the library with her. She earned enough money to pay for her tuition..but rent? That never came up.

"I told you" Yoona grabbed Jiah's hand. "I can help you if you're struggling with money. Don't take this job if you can't do it" Yoona her voice softened. "My parents know about your situation and-"

"You expect me to keep living off of you for the rest of my life?" Jiah shook her head. "And besides, this is a great opportunity to get over it. And Yujun is there so if anything happens I'll be safe"

The three girls walked into the building. Jiah turned to her friends who both took one of her hands. She wasn't sure how to feel. How did a job interview even go? She did some research during the bus ride, but it didn't really calm her nerves. All she hoped for is for it to be done quick.
