"Director-nim! I'm here~", I shouted as I stepped into the building where I work at. "Come in, Eun Bae-ssi", he said once I approached his office. I went inside and sat on the seat in front of him. "What is it that you want to talk about, De-, I mean, Director-nim?", I said happily. "You seem to be in a good mood, Eun Bae-ssi", the Director said. I nodded in response, "That's because, I accidentally met up with my friend and his other 2 friends". "Well, that's good for you, Eun Bae-ssi. But, I wanted to go through some things with you, work things", he said in a flat tone.

"I have just got a report about a female worker, stealing our company's private documents", the Director explained. I nodded along, "It seems like, I have received a tip from an anonymous worker, who reported the case, saying it was you, Eun Bae-ssi", he ended his sentence with a serious expression. I was truly shocked, 'What? Why would people point fingers at me?', I thought frustratingly. "But, Director-nim, I would never do such a thing", I started to explain. The Director quickly shushed me, "There's no need for excuses, Eun Bae-ssi. We've already got the proof that you're the culprit", he said with a scowl on his face. "B-But, Director-nim. You and I both know, I didn't do that!", I started to panic. He threw a couple of the private documents on his desk, which made both of us silent. "We found this under your desk, Eun Bae-ssi", he explained. "Someone must have accidentally misplaced those under my desk, Director-nim", I helplessly explained. He started to flip through the documents rapidly, finally stopping at a page that has a cute, bunny bookmark at the side. My eyes felt like it has popped out of its sockets, my mouth hanged open. "D-Director-nim, that bookmark belongs to me.. but, I swear I didn't do it!", I said. The Director massaged his temple, "I'm sorry, Eun Bae-ssi. Even though, you've been one of our company's loyal worker, these are the evidence that proof you were the one who stole these documents", he said in a sad tone. I was confused, questions kept on popping up across my mind. "You're fired, Eun Bae-ssi. You've got until the end of the week to move your stuff", the Director said with a disappointed look on his face, then he left. 

I got up from the chair and went back to my little cubicle. I sat on my chair, I scoffed. Still speechless of what just happened. I took my bag and walked out of the building, as a tear trailed down my cheek.

***

I dropped my bag on the floor of my apartment, that I still haven't payed yet for the rent. I took of my coat and dropped it on the floor. I managed to change my clothes and slipped into a piece of clothing that I wear whenever I'm depressed.

My Eeyore onesie.

I curled up into a ball on the couch, taking out a half-eaten chocolate bar from the pocket of the onesie. I fished out my phone, speed dialing the only person I know, who wouldn't mind if I called them up in the middle of the night, wearing a ridiculous onesie while telling them everything that's going on.

"J-Joshua?", I sniffled, wiping my nose with the sleeve of the onesie. 

"Oh, Noona! Are you crying? What's wrong?".

"Oh, Joshua~", I cried out his name in ugly sobs.

"N-Noona, please tell me what's wrong. I want to help", I managed to hear through my sobs.

"J-Joshua, your noona got fired from the one thing she loves!", I cried out again.

"You, what? You fried chicken and now its lost?".

"No, Joshua. I-I'm f-fired from my j-job", I sobbed. Tears were pouring down my face and I couldn't stop crying.

"Why, Noona? I thought you loved that job and besides, you were suppose to get promoted!".

"I know, r-right? But s-somebody from the o-office accused me of stealing p-private documents and n-now, I'm job-less!", I cried out. I started wailing, taking bites of my chocolate bar in-between. 

"I'm sorry, Noona, to hear that you're going through a tough time. It's going to be okay, maybe they'll sort out the misunderstanding and you'll get your job back in the future", he said in an uplifting tone. 

"Yah, Hong Jisoo! Then what am I suppose to do about now? My rent is due, I lost my job, I'm still suffering from a heart break, wae? Wae? Wae? Wae? Why does it have to happen to me?", I wailed.

"It's going to be okay, Eun Bae-noona. Trust me, it's going to be brighter in the end, don't worry".

Joshua continued to say sweet-nothings through the phone speaker and my eyes were getting heavy from all of the crying. I yawned loudly;

"Are you getting sleepy, Noona?".

I hummed in reply, as I cuddled up further into a ball.

"Should I sing you a song to make you fall asleep?", he said in a sweet voice. 

"That would be nice~ But don't hang up, okay?".

"Araso~".

"Baby, goodnight~", he started to sing. My eyes automatically closed once his beautiful voice ringed through my ears. I felt myself drifted off to sleep as my stomach fluttered with this unknown feeling. As I slowly slipped into my dream with SEVENTEEN, I ticked off another item from my imaginary list:

Worst possible things that could happen:

1) Dumped by mega-hot boyfriend [√]

2) Lost my job [√]

3) Live in a house full of guys [ ]
