Na-ri always had always had a love of computers ever since she saw her father fix one when he brought her to his office. It was from then on that she dedicated and spent all her time learning anything and everything about them, much to the dismay of her mother. To continue with computers Na-ri had made a deal with her mother, she would model and do "girly" things to appease her. It was the only reason she was now sitting in a chair with three different people around her doing her hair, make up, and dressing her up.
"We're almost done Na-ri," the stylist said, Na-ri felt bad as she had not learned her name, so she nodded in thanks.
"Take your time," She replied, "I understand." The stylists around her smiled in appreciation, they had always liked how nice Na-ri was and her level of patience. Once they were all set Na-ri stood up and walked over to the set, this ad was for a diamond company. From what she was told it was a huge campaign. She adjusted the black gown and got herself ready, holding the jewels and diamonds in whichever way she or the photographer wanted. Her mother had booked a lot of shoots these days for her, but all Na-ri could think about was how to get back to compete again. It had been three weeks since she had terminated her contract with Team Ace, one of the top three CTF (capture the flag) teams in the country. All she had been doing, was exercising, photoshoots, and training at home with the program she created.
Na-ri thought back to when she heard her teammates and the Team Manager talking. It turned out the hot topic of conversation was her, and it was not about CTF. They all were huddled around a computer giggling and looking at the ad campaign for a swimsuit designer she had done a month previous. It was not like she was wearing a bikini or anything. She had been wearing a rash guard— nothing too crazy. Na-ri sighed thinking about it, somehow the team manager had known about her modeling and her team had found out. It was then she heard the team manager say that this was why they had brought her to the team. The team manager was always very candid with the other teammates, since she was the only girl, they did not talk to her much. He went on to express his frustration as to why Na-ri always wore a mask when competing, outside, and in the dorm. It was for this very reason why she always wore one.
She remembered walking into the room, and all of them slowly turned around to face her. She slowly took of her mask, and a collective gasp filled the room.
"Daebak!" her team captain had exclaimed, she sighed.
"So, this is why I'm here?" she asked, the team manager had the decency to look at least a little guilty. "How disappointing." She sighed as she walked towards her room. She had called her manager and lawyer that night, and by the next day her contract had been terminated and she had moved back home. They had called her stuck up, among many things, as she had left that day—she neither cared nor felt anything as they said those words to her.
Na-ri sighed as she thought about it, all the while the camera was flashing away. The photographer announced everything was perfect and that they were done for the day. Na-ri bowed and thanked everyone for their hard work as she made her way back to her dressing room to change. She told her driver she would be running back home; she needed the exercise to take her mind off the disappointment. As she walked outside, she put on her mask and started to stretch. Her phone suddenly rang as she was about to start running.
"Yeoboseo?" she said answering the phone. She heard a nervous breath before a female voice spoke.
", is this Yun Na-ri?" the voice asked.
"Yae, may I ask who this is?" Na-ri wanted to get to the point of this, she did not feel like talking on the phone right now.
"Ah yes, my apologies." The voice said, "My name is Park Jisu, I am the team manager for Infinite." Na-ri stopped in her tracks as she heard this.
