Birds chirping and the perfect sunlight peeking through—

Wait that ain't right.

The honks of cars from below her apartment complex can be heard, along with the decent sunlight that Sooyoung's medium size window was capable of.

Ah, there it is.

Sitting up from her bed too fast, she immediately regretted it and winced in pain. She checked her phone first and was greeted by text messages and emails.

bighit job rep (DON'T IGNORE):
Good Morning Ms. Park! This is the representative from BigHit Entertainment and are wondering if you're free to come by today? We'll just be evaluating your qualifications, tested on a model of course. We're expecting to see you there!

Sooyoung turned blank.

Then squealed and jumped around. She had gotten an opportunity—the job wasn't her first choice—but an opportunity nonetheless. She frantically reads the texts again, and noted the date and time they had set.

It was today—and in three hours?!

She cursed as she practically ran to her closet, pulling out tops and bottoms that would soon face an overly overthinking female. She sighed and finally picked her outfit, but once again dashed on the way to the bathroom.

Coming out the shower, Sooyoung almost stumbled due to the water puddle her feet without slippers graced on the tile floors. She cursed herself and told herself to get it together.

I swear, I better not trip when I get there.

Feigning gracefulness as she walked towards her bed, she tried to walk with poise but ultimately ended up almost tripping on her fake fur carpet.
She acted like nothing happened and put on the clothes she picked.

Since she was running a bit late, she only opted for putting on sunscreen and a little bit liptint for cheeks and lips. Sooyoung looked for a decent bag, and contemplated again if they said to bring her own brushes. Well, she guessed not and just prayed she won't be scolded for coming in empty handed.

She barely made it with 5 minutes to spare, and there she was, infront of the intimidating big building that was possibly going to be her workplace for the next months or maybe even years?

Sooyoung wasn't really sure of what strand of entertainment the company infront of her was in. But they said they needed a makeup artist that had lots of ideas, and that's when she came in.

She got in the building and awkwardly approached the front desk. It was fairly crowded inside as it seemed everyone was busy doing their own thing.

"Hi, I have an appointment for 1:30." She said, tapping her bag softly as she looked at the receptionist.

The said employee looked up and greeted her with a smile, "Name, please?"

"Park Sooyoung."

The woman at the front desk scanned, what seemed to be a list, and grabbed the telephone. Nervously fidgeting, Sooyoung played with the strap of her bag as she waited for the call to end.

The receptionist then looked back at Sooyoung, who froze at the sudden look of the woman.

Geez, that scared me.

"Ms. Park? You can just sit by the waiting area there," Pointing at the vacant seats near the pot of plants that she saw earlier.

"Someone will go to you, they seem to be busy at the moment but they'll come to you in a few minutes."

She thanked her before proceeding to the said seats. She quietly sat down and waited in silence for a few minutes. Before giving up and searched for her phone.

Playing plants vs zombies for a few minutes, won't hurt anyone, right?

"Excuse me."

As she was winning the game, Sooyoung wanted to yell for victory but quickly stood up and put her phone back to her bag. Looking at the unfamiliar woman in front of her.

"You're Ms. Park, correct?"

She only nodded hastily and got in a polite position. The woman chuckled at the young girl's bizarre actions and continued.

"I'm the rep that's been overlooking your hiring."

Sooyoung only nodded again and shaked the hand that was offered to her,

The woman clapped her hands together, "So, shall we go?"

"To where?" Sooyoung mumbled without thinking,

"Just a decent room to discuss things," The woman replied, while she followed behind as she thought about what things.

Sooyoung sat down on the spacious couch, her bag on her lap while her eyes were roaming around the foreign room.

The woman too, was sitted in front of her, accross the coffee table and seemed to have a folder in her arms.

"So, it is correct you have platform where you share your works?" The woman asked.

She nodded and responded, "Yes, I have an account on instagram, but it's not very big in terms of numbers," She said shyly.

The woman smiled,"We aren't really basing on followers, but might I say, you have a talent for this field."

"Thank you," Sooyoung mumbled.

"The client and I have already looked in your portfolio, and we think your works are fresh and unique."

"Thank you," Sooyoung mumbled again, still in a daze.

"With that being said, we would like to hire you right now. Are you okay with that, Ms. Park?"

"What?" Sooyoung mumbled,

"Oh!" She realized,

"Really?" She mumbled,

"You seem to be hesitant about the offer." The woman chuckled.

"No! I mean no, I would like to accept the offer." Sooyoung smiled widely.

"But over the text, wasn't I suppose to test on a model first?" She asked.

"Well, some things happened and the model wasn't available now. But you have already impressed us so far, so we'd like to close the deal."

After that, Sooyoung they discussed about the documents and requirements she would need. The woman also said something that suprised Sooyoung,

"By the way, are you okay with makeup on males?"
