"One!"

Dush!

"Two. Ah, almost missed it!"

Dush!

"Three-"

Knock, knock!

The girl stopped and sighed. "Who's there?"

"It's me!"

Moon Byul couldn't help but to roll her eyes, taking off one of her bag gloves before heading towards the door. She twisted the doorknob, revealing another girl. A smirk came across Moon Byul's face to see the very familiar girl.

"Solar."

The girl waiting outside flashed Moon Byul a meaningful smile, showing off her beautiful features. She had wavy dark brown hair and she was wearing a knee length white dress.

"Look what I've gotten for you." Solar held a big envelope near her face.

Moon Byul immediately recognized the envelope and shook her head furiously.

"I'm not doing it." She let out a heavy sigh and walked back into her apartment, putting on the glove while heading towards her big black punching bag in the living room. Solar quickly went inside, and before she closed the door behind her, she managed to take a peek- just to make sure no one's watching.

"Yah, Byullie!" Solar hurried over to the girl which was doing her normal routine; making the best of her precious punching bag. It was a regular hobby for Moon Byul, since it was something that made her stronger as the days pass. It was her companion for the last six years, and it has definitely become a part of her.

Dush! Dush! Dush!

"YAH!"Solar waved the big envelope near Moon Byul's sweaty face, making her flinch. Moon Byul just shook her head and stayed in her position, before giving the bag another powerful punch.

"What a stubborn jerk." Solar sighed.

"Har, har." Moon Byul replied sarcastically.

"Very well then, I'll open it myself." Solar rolled her eyes and started to open the envelope. She took out a piece of white paper, which made her frown as she read the content.

"Byul-ah..."

"What?" Moon Byul didn't bother to look, and just kept punching with all her might. Sweat was already dripping down her back and soaking her toned abs.

"My dear friend, I think you've got to take this offer." Solar handed Moon Byul the paper. Moon Byul frown at the sight, for she was tired of accepting all the offers. Her job requires really hard work. But the look on Solar's face made her think twice.

"Come on, read it first."

Moon Byul bit her lips. "Fine."

She took the paper from Solar and began reading it. Her eyes narrowed and she could feel her jaws slowly drop.

"Is this for real?"

"Told you." Solar shrugged and stood beside her. "It's a one in a million offer, Byul."

Moon Byul shook her head, looking back at Solar. "Listen, I just got a break from my latest offer yesterday and I'm finally getting some rest today."

"So?"

"Gosh, you brat. This," Moon Byul gestured towards the paper. "This is like one week from now. Are you freaking serious? You want me to get killed so soon? FYI, I almost got shot again, hello?"

The long haired girl shrugged as she pouted. "Wouldn't have said it in any better way. Besides, what task doesn't get you in danger?"

Moon Byul widened her eyes and threw herself on her lazy couch."Unbelievable."

"Just look at him! Isn't he such a priceless client?" Solar played with her hair.

"Damn, he's precious." Moon Byul focused back on the paper in her hands. "But that just means that I need to work my ass off like hell." She ruffled her front hair, a sigh escaping her dry lips.

"Hey," Solar sat down beside her and slung her arm over her shoulder. "You can do it, Byul. Besides, we still got one week. How about a sleepover at Hwa Sa's? Maybe at Whee In's, too? Let's just spend as much time together before you get back to work."

Her suggestion sounded pretty good for Moon Byul, despite the fact that she's only going to have one week before she starts her next task. It's going to be hard, but why not give it a try?

"Who requested this client?"

Solar shot Moonbyul another cheeky look. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I happen to be at the hangout place when he found me. He came with such a handsome offer, and face, not to forget. How can I possibly reject it?"

"That place?" Moonbyul stopped punching and frowned. "He's... a regular?"

"Whatever he's doing there, he is probably very desperate to find someone to help him out until he got tangled in a place like that. Thankfully he found one. You."

Moonbyul smirked.

"Sounds legit." She answered and casted Solar a lopsided smile.

Solar chuckled and snatched the paper from Moon Byul. "Not to forget, the payment is absolutely despicable. Don't forget to give me 50%,alright?"

Moon Byul shook her head as she tried to strangle Solar by wrapping both of her arms over Solar's neck. Solar's laughter filled up the apartment as they wrestled on the couch.

"I knew you had other intentions, you little brat!"

"Well..."Solar laughed. "But just look at him! He looks exactly like..."

I smirked as I looked at her.

"Me."
