Day 8: Part I

"Hello? Chaeyeon unnie?"

"Ahn Yujin, it's 6 in the fucking morning."

"Are you awake yet? I need to talk to you."

Yujin heard faint shuffling sounds across the line. Chaeyeon groaned. "This had better be good."

"So, Chaewon called this morning asking me if we offered catering services to formal events."

"Which Chaewon are we talking about?"

"Park Chaewon."

"I thought you lost contact with her after high school?"

"We just recently met and- You know what? It doesn't matter. So anyways, I was kind of wondering if you could ask Eunbi about the service?"

"Yujin, you know those things need a lot of staff and work. Eunbi probably wouldn't want to let them go during service hours. The kitchen is already a mess as it is with Jisung and Jinyoung on leave."

"Yes, but they're offering good money. It's a formal event at a corporate company. Where else can we ask for a better cash inflow from?"

"You do know that Eunbi doesn't care about the cash inflow as much as a well coordinated kitchen, right?" She heard Chaeyeon yawn.

"She's also a businesswoman. Her whole business depends on the cash inflow and the profit she earns from it. And you know that formal events pay a lot. I don't think Eunbi is so starry eyed to say no to that."

Chaeyeon sighed. " I don't know, Yujin. Eunbi's been kind of stressed lately and I don't think team services is going to do any good for her or anyone working with her. Besides, you know how the last one went down, right?"

Yujin grimaced at the memory. Eunbi had lost it, Yuri was crying, Seungwoo had a mental breakdown and Hyewon was missing. Thank the skies for Lee Chaeyeon who had somehow managed to keep the team together till the end of service. They hadn't had a team gig since then.

"Well, this could be a chance to redeem ourselves. Eunbi always talks about working together as a team, right? We could work on that a little too."

There was another row of shuffling on the line. "..........It's just Yujin, babe. Go back to sleep."

"So?"

"Alright, I'll see if I can talk to her. But only because you were a being so pushy."

Yujin grinned to no one in particular. "Thanks, unnie."

"You owe me, kid."

To say Yujin was somehow excited was an understatement. She felt ecstatic that her plan was working out smoothly. Her feet bounced lightly as she skipped to the bathroom. She had never been so pumped about taking a shower.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Chaewon. It's me, Yujin."

"Oh my god."

"It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"No shit, Sherlock."

She picked out a simple cardigan to go along with her usual jeans and Vans. Yujin jogged down to the garage, feeling good about going to work for the first time in a while.

"So, Chaeyeon told me you work with her at the Kwon's."

"Yeah, it's not really much but it does the job."
