Secretly, But Unable to Hide It

Love and Loyalty

After the last examination, Hanni gets a call from the company, which she was interviewed by. She is informed that she could go to work the next day. After the call ends, she tells it to Minji.

The next day, Hanni comes early to the office.

The company is really lacking employees, yet the salary is low too. Hanni's motivation to get the internship is to learn something. So, she accepts the internship as she feels that it's not easy to find an internship, and she doesn't really care about the money. The man that she met last time during the interview is also accepted.

The two of them are taken by another intern to understand the company's condition. They are assigned to different departments. Hanni's job is an assistant designer, she sits near the familiar woman, who she met during the interview.

That woman is Noh Yunah.

Hanni learns with Yunah. Because it's the first day of her work, she is at a loss of what to do. But she gets a lot of things to do. The company has a rule to not work overtime during the first day of the job. In the afternoon, at 06:00 p.m., she notices that it's time to get off work. Yet Yunah doesn't let her go.

Hanni doesn't know whether it's her illusion or not, but she feels that Yunah is not too friendly to her. But overall, when she thinks about it, Yunah would take a sour tone when talking about her design. It's the first time for her to work; she has no experience, so she just listens to Yunah's words and redoes what she designs.

After a long time, Yunah just stands there and looks at Hanni. "I'll leave first. You finish your design, then go home."

Jake comes closer, "Today, Mentor Yunah isn't in a good mood."

Hanni continues to draw and says, "Indeed, I didn't do it well."

Jake has come to work a few days earlier than Hanni. Hanni has been scolded so much by Yunah. This time, he says, "Yet Mentor Yunah usually doesn't act this way. Did you provoke her?"

"How do I provoke her?" This is the first time Hanni met Yunah, she doesn't know Yunah. Moreover, today she acts humbly. She continues to answer politely, "Mentor Yunah is stricter. She might hope that I could do my best." Though she said those words, she is extremely unhappy.

Hanni walks out of the company. It's already 08:00 p.m. She doesn't eat anything for dinner, she just eats a pack of biscuits. She goes to the nearby store to buy a steamed bun with meat stuffing. Then she finds a bench near the road to sit down. She chews it. Minji calls her at this time.

"You're still working overtime?"

Hanni feels weak. "No, I'm not."

"You're so busy, how could you work overtime on the first day?" Minji says.

"The time I was interviewed, the boss also said that I don't need to work overtime. Then the man, who also was interviewed with me, could get off work on time." Hanni complains. She feels that she is wronged. "I was also scolded all day."

Minji is silent for a few seconds. "Where are you? I'll come by to find you."

By the time Minji arrives, Hanni hasn't even finished the steamed bun with meat stuffing. Hanni has no appetite. Looking at Minji, Hanni doesn't stand up and keeps sitting there.

"You just sit down to eat steamed bun here?"

Hanni says nothing.

Minji smiles. "Why are you so miserable?"

Hanni continues to bite her steamed bun.

"Don't eat this anymore. Unnie will take you to eat something much tastier."
