"Thank you for giving me half of your time, Mr. Song." Lisa gave a small smile and bow to the old vendor, as she was about to leave.

"Your welcome here anytime, Lalisa. I deeply apologize that I cannot help you to find a job, but I do wish you a best of luck in your search." Mr.Song kindly bid her goodbye as he looked at the girl with sympathy.

Lisa was currently at their market with her head held high with a task set on her mind.

After patching things up with her uncle, Lisa knew her response. Her answer was clearly an unswayed 'no' for her own conscience cannot simply take the idea of doing something so illegal. Plus, she was afraid that once her uncle knew about it, he will surely be disappointed and will despise her with all his heart.

'I mean, there are a lot of solutions to this problem.' She mentally pointed out. To which is why our heroine is on a hunt for a job. And her first one was the old farmer and vendor, Mr. Song, who sadly didn't need anymore workers to help him in his field.

It sure did made her hopes low, yet she was determined to find one for not only for the best, but for her uncle as well.

Hours of continuous walking, inquiring and a multiple stalls and stores later, Lisa still kept ending up getting unrecruited and rejected from all the people she asked for a job.

Some of them didn't need anymore employees, majority of them literally didn't want her, saying she was as thin as a stick and working for them might snap one of her fragile bones, to which they didn't want to take responsibility of. And it quite offended the maiden, for they all based their decision on her physical appearance and not her own capabilities on taking on a heavy task.

Besides, it wasn't her fault she was thin. It was their lack of money that caused her to be undeniably malnourished.

As of now, Lisa was taking a short recess from her search on a log she founded nearby the horse's stables, as she tried to get a job there. But out of luck, the owner declined her willingness to work there as he was one of those people who regarded it on her skinny physique.

A deep and worrisome sigh emitted from her lips. "How am I suppose to pay my debt now?" She wearily queried on the crisp gust of air.

Looking at her surrounding, serenity filled her tensed system as the view and the fresh air of the outdoors enveloped her.

But that moment of serenity and peace was short lived, when she saw familiar faces in the distance.

It was Jaebum and the gang.

They were all there, wearing capes and thick clothing as if they were about to go on a journey. With that being said, something clicked in her mind.

'We'll be waiting.'

Jaebum's words resonated in her head. Until she doesn't give them a well thought answer, they'll be waiting for her arrival. And in her sticky situation, the offer was still pestering her mind.

She vehemently shook her head.'No Lalisa. You've thought about this, your not going with them. And nothing on this world could change that.'
