"Wendy! Wendy!"

The two cups of hot coffee on the tray that she's holding almost slipped as Wendy is surprised with Seulgi's loud voice first thing in the morning. Thanks to her great reflexes and years of training, the coffee didn't go to waste. She immediately brought the coffee to table number 29 and greeted the customers who ordered it. They smiled as soon as the addicting fragrant of the hot liquid smelled right through their noses. As Wendy came back to the counter, she saw a giggling bear with her big cheeks and sneaky smile.

She sighed just thinking that if the coffee spilled, it would be a deduction to her salary but knowing her boss, she wouldn't do it to her. She is just the one minding that because it is still a policy. "What is it, Ma'am?"

"Look!"

Seulgi excitedly held her phone and showed it to Wendy. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the article.

"What?!" Her voice peaked with the sound of excitement.

"Can't you believe it?" Just what she felt, Seulgi is excited as well but it is because of her. She is excited for her.

Wendy slapped her face as Seulgi was shaking her shoulders. She's silently screaming. She can't contain her happiness but it immediately fades away just thinking about her situation. Seulgi noticed that Wendy, who was happy for just a while, is feeling down.

"Hey, what's with the look?"

She pouted as soon as she turned around to Seulgi. "You know it already. How can I afford to buy it? It's one of the expensive cosmetic lines here."

Seulgi smiled at her as if a tail was wagging on her back. "I can buy it for you."

Wendy brushed her off. "Silly! Why would I let you do that?"

Seulgi pats her shoulder and then she continues her work duty. Wendy is working as a waitress in the café which is owned by Seulgi. The article that she showed earlier is about Irene. Wendy's favorite actress. She's now the newly selected brand ambassador of Clinique. One of the expensive cosmetic lines and also one of the most popular brands here.

Wendy is not sad because Irene is the ambassador but she is sad in reality because she can't even afford to buy one cosmetic from Clinique. Wendy wants to buy not because she likes makeup and skin care but according to the article and the promo by that cosmetic line, every time a customer will buy their products they will get a limited edition photocard of Irene which is the most beautiful card you will ever see.

Wendy would love to collect those cards to put it inside her wallet so wherever she goes, Irene is always with her. Sadly, her monthly salary is not enough for her daily living, so how can she even buy it?

After her shift, she waved goodbye to her boss. Wendy was on her way to her small apartment when she noticed the newly posted pictures of Irene. There's a branch of that cosmetic in the area on her way home. Wendy stopped and looked at it. She takes her time to gazed upon that gorgeous face. Being in awe is something she can't help but do.

"Wow! This is the closest one that I can get to see your face Irene."

She got her phone, captured the face of the woman she adored for a very long time. She smiled as she saw the pictures taken by her. It went nicely.

Wendy barely touches the glass of the store, afraid that she is gonna leave an unnecessary print of hers. She flinched when someone spoke to her side.

"Hi, Ma'am! We have a promo 1+1 Clinique beauty cream and you'll get two random photocards of Miss Irene."

A sales lady approached her, giving Wendy her best smile and a piece of paper. A pamphlet for the shop with Irene's picture. She accepted it with a bit of a smile and started to walk home as she didn't have the money yet to buy her products.
