Fast forward 13 months after the break up.
Haruna's pov;

I was in my bedroom, staring blankly at the mirror, wondering if the jacket i was wearing made my shoulders look too broad. After changing into multiple outfits that were either too casual, too formal or too crazy, i gave up and threw on a simple pair of bootcut jeans and a jersey shirt from a random football team i knew nothing about. Today was the day of the interview for my first job after dropping out of uni to pursue my dream of being an author for mangas. Whilst i did enjoy the break from the endless days of studying and going to lectures, i knew that since i had only started writing books, i wouldn't be able to live off of that and eventually, i would have to get a job to pay off rent and just get out of the house when im not creating a manga.

I was applying as a job for a Kpop staff member, or makeup/hair stylist. Both if i could.

I crossed my toes as i stepped into the HYBE building, praying that i wouldn't see him, my ex. Ni-ki.
I was a bit weary about this to begin with, i knew Ni-ki was an idol under HYBE but i couldn't miss this opportunity after being rejected from so many jobs.

Surprisingly, the interview went quite well, the staff were quite impressed with my resume and seemed to be pleased that i used to do a hair and beauty program in high school.

"We've decided to accept you in now as my supervisor is happy with your resume" The employer told me with a wide smile on her face.
"We know that we have hired you really early so you're free to reject our offer"

I was actually seriously debating on rejecting it for a second. I didn't want to risk bumping into Ni-ki but i stood my ground firmly, deciding i couldn't let him stop me from taking this opportunity.

"I'll take it"
I blurted out.

God what did i do.

Before i could even progress what i had just said myself, i was signing contracts and files, promising not to spread private information about idols or post them or promote myself with the fact i work for idols etc etc.

I groaned as i stepped out of the ladies office. What did i just do?
I brushed these thoughts away, forcing a smile on my face as i tried to gaslight myself into thinking positively.
This smile quickly faded as i turned the corner, met face to face with the last person i would want to see.

Do these chapters feel rushed? As if everything is happening too quickly or im not putting depth or making them long enough?
K fell like thats a habit i do a lot.
