I can't believe finding a summer job here in Seoul is hard. My parents want me to live independently now because my 18th birthday is approaching.

I wanted to help too, I can't depend on their money all the time. At least with a small job, I can maybe buy myself some more Blackpink merch.

"I didn't even land a job yet and I'm already thinking of buying Blackpink merch" I scolded myself before entering another convenience store to ask for a job opening.

"Annyeonghaseyo. I wanted to ask-" I was cut by the cashier's sudden squeal
"Oh gosh! Are you a K-pop idol?" The lady suddenly asked
"Oh me? No, miss. I just wanted to ask if there is an available job here?" I answered and asked
"No, sorry. We don't have a slot" The lady replied
"Unfortunate, but thanks" I just nodded with a bitter smile and left

I walked to the nearby park, looking around and finding a bench to have a rest on.

I sat down sighed, and thought to myself.

Being an adult is hard. If I don't find a job within this week maybe I should just-

RING*

My phone rang with a loud As If It's Your Last ringtone. I immediately answered the call, seeing that it was my mom.

Yah! Y/n. Where are you?
I am going to meet a friend with you

Eomma!
Sorry, I forgot.
I was looking for a job all-day

Son. I already told you, why don't you start doing music again? I mean that talent runs in our blood!

I don't want to talk about this right now Eomma, See you soon.

I ended the call and started walking out of the park. I noticed and ran to the bus stop, seeing that the bus was already leaving.

Thankfully, I got on it and found a seat in the back. I sighed and-

"Miss me?" I was startled to hear a voice beside me. I turned my head and was shocked to see my cousin with a hoodie and mask on.
"Gosh! Taehyung-" Taehyung immediately covered my mouth
"Yah. Somebody might hear you" He reminded
"Sorry. I can't believe you're on a public bus. Where are you headed to?" I removed his hand and asked
"Well, I'm going on a date " Taehyung answered with a hint of joy in his voice.
"Good for you man" I smiled.
"How about you, what's new with you? You should've messaged me that you're in Seoul. tsk tsk" Taehyung shook his head in disbelief.
"Well, Eomma bought a new house here and from what I know, she's meeting a friend of hers who is interested in her works" I explained.
"That's good news! We should hang out often then." Taehyung nudged my elbow.
"Of course, whenever you're free" I accepted.
"And, I've been meaning to ask. Why are you on a public bus? You have a car" I asked
"Y/n, what's life without risk?" Taehyung chuckles

"What took you so long?" Eomma asked
"Traffic jam Mom" I replied
"Get dressed. Be handsome" Eomma pushed me to my room

As I opened the door there was a tuxedo on the wall and there was a stylist

"Oh! You must be Y/n, I am your stylist. Your mom wasn't lying about your looks" The stylist greeted
"Nice to meet you, It's the first time my mom hired a stylist for me" I greeted back
"Well, she can't help it if she's meeting the wealthiest woman in Seoul" The stylist dragged me into a chair and got to work

A long night might be ahead of me then.

The mansion was incredibly amazing. A lot of cars were parked and when we entered the huge door entrance, we were greeted by a man and a woman. Mom and Dad greeted both of them referring to them as Mr. and Mrs. Kim and I kinda just stood there not too awkwardly.

"Is this your son? He looks dashing" Mrs. Kim complimented
"Yeah. You must be a K-pop star?" Mr. Kim asked
"Annyeonghaseyo. No sir, I'm just a guy. I'm Y/n" I bowed with a smile
"Nice to meet you Y/n" Mr. Kim replies and Mrs. Kim nods with approval

We then proceeded to the dining room. I can't help but feel amazed about the scale of the chairs, tables, and shining utensils. We each found our seats and I noticed that there is an empty seat beside me.

I overheard Mrs. Kim talking to her housekeeper

"Where is she?" Mrs. Kim asked
"She's just here a while ago" The keeper replies

An agonizing moment passed as the grownups started their conversation which I think I can't butt in. I was bored and started to scroll on my phone just for a bit.

"Oh, she's here" Mrs. Kim mentioned
"I'm so sorry Eomma for making you guys wait" I heard a lady say towards the entrance of the room.

I turned my head and my jaw dropped. I was in disbelief and thought this was a dream

"You look so starstruck? You must know me?" The lady asked noticing me with her gaze directly at me.
