A sudden tap on a shoulder made Areum look back seeing a girl with a smile on her face.

"You're the one who pierces ears right?" She asked and the said girl nodded.

"Great! I want mine done please. Probably here or maybe here. Can you help me decide?" She kept on talking as Areum just listened to the girl's request.

"Do you want to do it in my place or here at school?" The piercer asked.

The girl wanted to get pierced in school at lunch break. So they decided to meet up at the private bathroom which was supposedly for guests and do the whole piercing process there.

Meet Kim Areum a student who does piercings for a living. Her customers vary from adults to her schoolmates. Some find it skeptical but she's not illegal at all. In fact, she has a permit for her little independent business. She either pierces in school or her shop.

Only a few of her schoolmates know about it and signed a contract of not saying anything to anyone unless permitted to. They wouldn't dare to snitch because Areum has this resting bitch face and a mysterious aura causing everyone to be kind of afraid of her and be intimidated but she's actually sweet and will only show it to the people she cares about.

The cheery girl left leaving Areum alone again. She got her books from her locker and went to her classes.

Soon it was break time and of course she has an appointment. She gathered all her stuff needed for the process and arrived at the private bathroom.

She saw the girl and they locked the door.

"Alright sweetie, you told me I'll help you decide. You either want a piercing on your tongue or on your lip. Is it your first time to get a piercing other than your ears?" She asked as she wears her gloves and disinfects the materials.

The girl said yes.

"Yeah I figured. Let's do your lip. A tongue piercing is a big step and it hurts like a bitch after a few hours. Lip piercings doesn't hurt that much. I'll take care of you" Areum says and smiled a little at her customer.

"Okay then"

And with that they started after a few minutes it was done and the girl seems happy with it.

"It's a good thing piercings aren't really banned from this school" her customer said, trying to make small talk with the piercer who's cleaning up her stuff.

"Yeah" she answered simply.

"Sooo.. Why do you keep it a secret?" She asks again.

"To avoid getting interrogated by the teachers and parents of my customers. Which reminds me.. Please sign this agreement in which you will never tell anyone who did your piercing. Lie if you have to. I don't want the word to spread understood?" Areum says and the girl agreed signed the contract.

"So I see you only choose people to tell?" The customer asks again.

"Yes. I have certain people who does that for me. If they get asked on who does the piercings they refer those customers to me. Now enough questions and pay up" she said, getting annoyed.

The girl paid up. Before she left the bathroom she says "I'm Seolhyun by the way. I hope we can be friends".

Areum sighed and went to her next class.
