"So what exactly are we doing today?" Gowon spoke with her bratty voice.

The filming crew was standing in the middle of zerobaseone's dressing room. It was Gowon, Mrs Kang and Jiah today. Back at the hotel the boys were editing the footage that Mrs Kang shot yesterday. They didn't talk about what happened to Jiah since she got back from the hospital. 

No "are you feeling okay" or "I'm glad you're fine" comments. She didn't mind. She knew they didn't like her.

"Gowon, you'll film how the members are rehearsing their songs" Mrs Kang said with a smile. "Jiah will interview them between songs and before" her voice changed from kind to annoyed when addressing the girl.

Jiah got her camera ready and headed backstages where the members were checking their microphones for the last time. Ricky waved at her when he saw her walk in, making her give him a glare back. 

"Can you help me with my name tag?"

The girl heard someone speak to her from behind. She turned around and saw Gyuvin standing there, holding his name tag in front of her. She agreed and placed her camera on the ground to help him.

"You're..Jiah right?" he asked curious.

"I am" she replied, cold.

"If we don't count yesterday..this is your first day working right?" 

"I guess" she said, too focused on tying the name tag right.

"Is it hard working with a group as large as ours. Especially as some members count as 10" he looked at Ricky.

Jiah followed his gaze and scoffed. "Ricky? I thought he was just like a smiling mascot for the group"

"Are you kidding. He literally never shuts up in the dorms! He's always nagging at me or Gunwook just because we're younger" Gyuvin said offended.

"Really?" she was a bit surprised as that was not the boy she had been seeing since she met him. He was always worried about something or on edge about anything as if something scared him a week ago and he still hasn't recovered. 

But besides that he always had that annoying smile on his face as if life is perfect. Jiah couldn't really make out his personality

"You'll see it once we start shooting our variety show" the boy turned to her and smiled. "Thanks for helping. I'll remember that"

Jiah wasn't really sure what to say. Luckily he walked off before she said something very out of pocket. 

"Jiah!" Mrs Kang shouted at her. "Start doing your job for once!"

She wanted to yell back at her and throw the camera against her head, but she remained calm. She took the camera off the ground and hit the record button. Gunwook was the first one she came across so she started with him. 

Few hours later it was finally lunch break for all the staff.

Jiah was sitting in the launch, playing with her food. Yujun was heavily chattering with another stylist she got close with. Jiah felt a little jealous, but knew Yujun would never toss her to the side for someone she just met. She even puts her above her own boyfriend. 

"You know who I find cute, Gyuvin" Hana, the other stylist, spoke. "Every time I give him his clothes he's so polite. He even gave me water once!"

"Because you asked for it" Yujun snapped her friend out of her delusions. "I like Jiwoong. He's so mature, calm and has a pretty face like a model"
