Another day, another work day for Artist Yeji.

She sits in her studio, facing a blank canvas, eagerly waiting for more customers to come by. As she places her brush on the paper, inspiration strikes, and she swipes a stroke across, letting her creative mindset take over.

The beautiful art pieces she creates are adored by her neighborhood and fellow artists.

But her peace and silence are interrupted by the cheerful entrance of her friends into the studio.

"Yo Yeji!" her best friend Ryujin exclaims, causing her to quickly turn around and face her amigos

It's a Saturday morning, which means it's a perfect time for some well-deserved rest after a long week. How about enjoying a cup of tea or hot chocolate?

However, amidst the excitement, there are other things on Yeji's mind.










The previous night

, she walked into a club, drawing the attention of many with her black dress and heels.Her red lips parted glancing around

As she made her way to her friend Chaeryeong, she couldn't help but notice the  gazes of some men and their angry partners

. Poor Chaeryeong was having a bad day and had asked everyone to go to the club, but Yeji was the only one available.

"Hey Chaerry,"

Yeji spoke softly and quietly, feeling as if she was being watched and possibly in danger by the end of the night.

"Unnie,"

Chaeryeong whined, resting her head on the bar table as Yeji began to rub her back.

"What happened?"

"Boss did it again," Chaeryeong replied with frustration.

"What did she do?" Yeji asked, concerned for her friend.

" she threatened not to pay me"

"WHAT she can't do that"

Yeji and Chaeryeong chatted throughout the night, enjoying their alcoholic beverages. As the drinks flowed, Chaeryeong became quite tipsy and started dancing on the dance floor. Concerned for her friend's well-being,

Yeji decided it was time to call it a night.

"Chaeryeong, I think it's time for you to head home,"

Yeji said, gently guiding her friend towards the exit. But Chaeryeong protested, slurring her words,

"Unnie, nooo!"

"Come on, Chae,"

Yeji insisted, taking hold of her wrists and leading her out of the club. Chaeryeong continued to mumble random things into Yeji's ear as they made their way outside.

"Okayy time to get you home chaeryy, Now where's your phone"

Yeji asked, trying to navigate through Chaeryeong's intoxicated state.

Chaeryeong looked at her with a drunken expression and pointed to a small purse.

Yeji quickly retrieved the phone from the purse, but then she wondered how she could unlock it.

"Hmm, how do I get her password?"

Yeji thought  as Chaeryeong's head flopped around. Suddenly, an idea struck her.
