After receiving Emails from her professors and staring wide-eyed at how formal and good they were, Haerin blinked a few times in satisfaction and made two CVs of her internship—one online and one offline. She made sure to book them out with the help of Eunchae, who offered her printing machine. Kyujin was watching, intrigued, while she and the model overlooked everything that the feline arranged for her work. They were proud of their friend—how she was so perfect in making amazing prompts and progressed from a shy individual to fully dedicating her time for the resume.

Haerin made sure to text Danielle too—now that they were closer and the latter wouldn't stop bugging because of the excitement, she made sure to reassure the pretty girl that everything was almost ready. The only thing left was for her to go to MoTech and show everything to an HR or a manager. All of this sounded way too easy, which made Haerin a bit anxious about what would go wrong.

"Hah, you're smiling," Kyujin announced, while eating homemade Kimchi. The feline was looking into her phone, texting Danielle about things she wanted to know about the company.

Currently, Kyujin and Eunchae were at Haerin's apartment. The feline didn't know why they enjoyed staying at her home so much—mostly recently, after they grew more accustomed and comfortable with each other. This didn't make the cat-like girl weirded out, but she wouldn't admit to herself that their company was refreshing and she felt like she belonged here.

Haerin looked up from her phone and quickly dropped her smile, annoyed that she was being teased to this day about this situation. "Shut up," She replied and looked at another text that was sent by Danielle.

Can't wait to see you again.

Her heart started beating faster, her breathing becoming a bit irregular from that flirty text. After Eunchae and Kyujin's words—she was sure that the pretty girl genuinely had interest in her. And that made her a bit conscious. She wasn't really all that, which was the reason why the feline didn't flirt back, or did anything similar to what her friend did to Hanni.

Speaking of that, Kyujin gained Hanni's number after yesterday and was texting her non-stop too. The feline was a bit thoughtful about their blossoming friendship, but paid little attention to it. Kyujin was an adult—she would realize what was good and what was not. Still, Haerin didn't really like what was going on between Minji and Hanni. She made sure to ask Danielle later—it wasn't like the girl wouldn't tell her—mostly when Hanni already did an introduction to their weird relationship. She did mention that Minji wasn't her girlfriend or anything like that, but it was obvious that the black haired had some harboring feelings for her, probably.

"Ah!," Kyujin yelped and dropped her phone, waving both of her hands on her tongue. Haerin rolled her eyes, the annoying girl was so clumsy when it came to drinking hot liquids, that the feline was sure she'd burn her tongue off one day.

As much as Haerin liked being productive with her business career, there was nothing she loved more than holding that digital camera and taking pictures of different things during the night, or morning, or any time of a day. She would wander around familiar neighborhoods, look around to notice something that would catch her eye and take a picture of it. Haerin's heart would almost leap out of her chest whenever she sat on a bench in a park and direct her gaze towards moonlit nights, or sunsets along untouchable horizons. She would smile, genuinely, and close one of her eyes—focusing on areas near and continue looking at them until her heart tugged at certain images.

Today, it was the evening, and she decided to unwind by doing this little secret of hers. The feline was sitting on a bench in this particular park and had her legs crossed on it, while looking through a viewfinder of her camera. She put it down after some time—a bit tired from sitting for so long. Haerin decided to stand up and continue her journey along the paths of this park.
