**Leeseo's POV**

After graduation, my parents have been pestering me to get a job or at the very least, get off my lazy bum and do something active. This was heavily influenced by Yuyeon who has spent her summer at a dental office, shadowing professionals; making those career connections already. I've barely even talked to her ever since we graduated because she's been so busy with this job. Eunchae was already whisked away to London to a music conservatory by her parents by the first week of summer. This meant that I had no one, absolutely NO ONE to hang out with. The only time I ever left my house was for any jobs that I had with Seo's Photos. Other than that, I just laid in bed all day, deteriorating under my blankets.

I woke up from my nap due to a loud commotion from downstairs. When I looked down from the ledge of the second floor, I saw Wonyoung and Yujin entering the house. Wonyoung was holding plastic bags with both her hands while Yujin was carrying huge boxes of pears with her hands. I guess they came back home for the weekend. 

"LEESEO GET OUT HERE. YOUR SISTER IS HOME!"

I stumbled down the stairs with my blanket over my head.

"Were you still sleeping?" Wonyoung marveled. She yanked Yujin's arm to check her watch, "it's already 4 o'clock how were you still sleeping?"

"I was...tired." I decided that was the best response.

Yujin placed down the box of fruit on the table, "well, we bought food so let's go have breakfast."

"What'd you buy?"

"Meat!" Wonyoung cheerfully exclaimed, slamming down the bags on the dinner table.

"O-of course you did..."

"So what have you been doing this summer?" Yujin asked, setting down a plate in front of me.

"Nothing. I've just been focusing on Seo's Photos."

Mom cut in, "no, she hasn't! Wonyoung...Yujin...please PLEASE help get your sister a job. I beg of you."

I crossed my arms and sulked in my seat, "I don't need a job mom!"

"Well your sister was managing 3 internships and part-time jobs when she was your age AND she was in a relationship."

I glared at Wonyoung and Yujin, who stuck their tongue at me in unison. "Well what about Yujin then huh? She didn't do anything during her summer!"

"Hyunseo. Do NOT bring other people into this. That's rude," Mom turned to apologize to the subject of the matter, "I'm sorry Yujin, we did not teach her to be this way."

"Nono it's okay," Yujin took her seat next to me, "Leeseo. Take this from me. Get a job. I've lived the past 5 years of my life based off the good graces of my parents and pure luck. Life would be a lot more comfortable to live if you build connections early."

I sulked in my seat, "UGHHHH what do I even do?"

"Well first, you should write up a resume and cover letter." Then, you should apply to jobs. They should be related to whatever you wanna do...so photography."

"B-but I already have Seo's Photos," I argued.

"Possibly, but you ALSO need business connections." Wonyoung pulled out her laptop and began a presentation, which she already had made...?

Yujin, without even looking up from her plate, handed her an adjustable metal pole from her purse.

"So," Wonyoung fully maxed out the length of the pole, "HERE. This is the first benefit of a job."
