Ha-na bit her nails as she stood with Geon-woo and Woo-jin outside of Mr. Choi's bookstore. Her chest was filled with anxiety, her nerves getting the best of her. They couldn't mess this up. This is the help they had been pleading for, and it fell right into their lap. She knew this was their only shot at truly bringing themselves out of the predicament they're in.

"Thanks for coming with us, Woo-jin. We're really nervous." Geon-woo sighed, patting the other on his shoulder. They both looked towards Ha-na, who was about to draw blood from her fingertips if she didn't stop soon. She noticed their glares and quickly brought her hand away from her teeth, rolling her eyes at them.

"It's no problem at all. Let's go." He smiled, heading towards the door. "Wait, you're going in?" Ha-na questioned.

"Well, I was thinking, maybe if I come in with you guys and talk to Mr. Choi, he'll consider hiring me too? Wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to have this opportunity together? All you guys need to do is help talk me up!" Woo-jin clasped his hands together as a way of saying please.

Geon-woo's face lit up, quick to nod his head. "Yes! That would be amazing." He answered, looking to Ha-na. He had took such a liking to Woo-jin the last couple of days, he almost forgot about Ha-na's past with him. He wasn't trying to be rude or make her uncomfortable, that's the last thing he ever wanted when it came to her. But he couldn't shake off the feeling that maybe Woo-jin is what they both needed right now.

"Yeah, that would be cool." Ha-na softly smiled, earning a more than happy expression from them both.

They walked in together, almost getting lost immediately. "It's this way, I'm telling you." Ha-na huffed, continuing in her direction as Woo-jin stopped, pointing down another hallway. "But I think it's this way-"

He shortly gave in, following her with heavy footsteps, and soon arriving right in front of the bookstore. Ha-na stuck her tongue out at him, muttering an 'I told you so' causing Woo-jin to mock her the second she turned her back to him.

They urgently ran inside, immediately bowing to Mr. Choi as they were presented to him, wishing him a good morning. "Hello, sir." They all three said in unison.

"I see you found your way here." Mr. Choi greeted.

"Yes, sir. And this morning I used the advance you gave to pay off my family's loans. Thank you so much. Seriously, thank you so much, sir." Geon-woo bowed, causing Woo-jin and Ha-na to follow behind him.

"I have faith that you'll do very well." Mr. Choi grinned softly.

"We'll give it everything we have, sir." Ha-na smiled.

"Good morning, sir! I'm Hong Woo-jin. I've helped Mr. Moon with his work in the past. I'm a close friend of Geon-woo and Ha-na's, we go way back. Geon-woo and I were even marines together." Woo-jin made his way between them, wrapping his arms enthusiastically around them both, earning a groan from Ha-na. Mr. Choi stared uninterested, raising his eyebrow.
