Chapter two: Writer's troubles

Eui returned home with a heavy mind. Last night's events laid heavily on her heart. Who would have thought that a simple app would lead her to get entangled with a charity organization? Wouldn't some criminal organization or even a cult be more interesting and suitable plotline?

Her mind drifted to the members of that organization and her first impressions of them. She had a certain dislike toward Jaehee, Jumin and 707. They had every right to be suspicious of her, but she didn't appreciate the threats. As a person who placed their personal freedom above all else, being forced to do a job was a surefire way to get on her blacklist.

She took an immediate liking to Yoosung and Zen. As a college dropout she understood Yoosung's need for escapism quite well and he also seems like such a good nature kid. It was hard to dislike him. Zen, on the other hand, won her over the moment he said, musical actor. Storytelling was the main passion of hers, but acting and musical theatre was a close second. He also was more welcoming of her presence which eased her troubled mind a few times during the chat. As for V she wasn't sure, he was weirdly welcoming and understanding. You would expect as the leader, he would be more worried about her breaking into their classified information, however, he seemed more concerned for her. She smelled a mystery here.

It was early one afternoon while she was reviewing her work when she noticed her phone beeping. She opened up to discover a few chat rooms that she missed and the current one that was ongoing. She was reluctant to join the chats but her curiosity won her over. Most of the members chatted about the past and their excitement for a new party. The current chat only had Zen online.

( 1st day – 15:00 – Zen reminisces about the old)

Eui : Zen, Hi

She decided Zen was a safe person to talk to if she wanted to start chatting with RFA members.

Zen: Hey, Eui.

Zen: I just finished my rehearsal and came home.

Zen: I just took a shower. Finally I can breathe.

Zen: I didn't like today's weather.

Zen: It rains here…

Zen: We rehearsed in the basement today and it was so humid I thought I was going to die.

Zen: Headache…

Eui: sound like bad ventilation.

Eui: I stayed at home today so I was safe.

Eui: How is your headache now?

Zen: Lucky

Zen: I feel better after taking a shower.

Zen: I wish we could rehearse where there's good ventilation.

Zen: But I guess that's too good to be true.

Zen: Thanks for worrying.

Zen: I don't have a piece I'm working on, so I just focused on my vocals today.

Zen: I wish you could hear me sing.

Eui: I would like too.

Eui: I am definitely coming to one of your plays as soon as I can

Zen: I guess I'll have to practice extra hard.

Zen: I have to practice in the basement right now, but I hope I get to work on a new project soon and practice in proper rehearsal rooms.

Zen: The director says that he'd get a new project soon but…

Zen: To be honest, without the parties, my sponsors in the musical industry have left one by one.

Zen: It's already been a year and a half.

Zen: Since our last party.

Zen: Rika's party was packed with sponsors…

Zen: There were a lot of people from the art industry.

Eui: The party was that big?

She never had interest in PR and mostly left all the publicity stuff to Yon so she never came across RFA before. It sounded like a big event.

Zen: Yes, it was…

Zen: To be honest, it was all thanks to Rika.

Zen: She was so good at dealing with people and talking.

Zen: I thought she was using some sort of magic.

Zen: I didn't really see that when we first met.

Eui: She sound like PR mastermind

Zen: It's probably because of Rika's amazing convincing skills and V's fame that the parties were so influential.

Zen: Since everyone wanted to buy V's work.

Eui: Work?

Zen: Yeah. V's a photographer and he's really famous within the industry.

Zen: He refuses interviews and stays hidden, so he's not popular.

Zen: But V's photos… draw people in.

Zen: He doesn't usually sell his photographs, but at the parties he made an exception, so more people came.

Zen: But…

Zen: I don't think I should go into detail about V…

Zen: He doesn't like other people talking about him.

Zen: He is quite secretive…

Zen: but he's really a good person.

Zen: I respect him a lot.

Zen: I'm going to grab some food now, MC.

Zen: Did you eat?

Eui: not yet

She was so engrossed in her thought that she forgot all about lunch. Would a cup of noodles be good? She was kind of getting sick of eating pasta and ramen noodles everyday.

ZEN: T_T

ZEN: Make sure you don't skip meals, okay?

ZEN: You get depressed and negative when you're hungry.

ZEN: Then I'll get going.

ZEN: Let's talk again.

ZEN: Oh, and also…

ZEN: This is a photo I took while I was practicing.

Her phone rang interrupting her chat with Zen about V and his works.

" Yon? What's up?"

" What got you in a sour mood?"

" What nothing… I am just brainstorming for the next piece."

" No that isn't your I am working hard and I am stressed-tone. It is more of I fucked up and now I am paying for it-tone."

Eui almost choked on her own spit. Yon had no idea how accrete her words were. It almost made her think her manager is stalking her as if she wasn't paranoid enough with all that happened.

She let out a sigh and attempted to put her mediocre acting experience in use. "…. You see… I got that dating app and I kinda met some interesting people last night." This was as close to the truth she was willing to share.

" Really?! That sounds juicy. Tell me more."

" There was that high-class type of guy with a weird obsession with his cat…. It treads the line between cute and creepy." Another bing from chat and Eui opened her speaker as she checked it out. She almost spits in shock at Zen's picture. That guy is seriously just too much. Did he just send her a selfie in his workout clothes? Wasn't he being a bit too casual? She knew 707 cleared her of suspicion, but still he shouldn't really send his personal pictures.

" Eui? Are you there?"

" Sorry, I just got a message.. What I was saying?"

" The rich cat guy? Is he cute?"

"….. He has a more classy handsome look to him. His sense of humour needs a little work. he is a little out of touch."

" Oh you hit the jackpot with that one."

Eui scoffed. " No way. He is the last person I would date." The bastard threatened her and she wasn't going to forgive him for that.

" What other interesting people did you meet on the app?"

"…. There was that cute college kid… I liked him… he reminds me of myself in the past."

" Seriously? A college kid? I didn't know you liked them young."

" What? Not like that. He is a greenhorn with no direction in life. I can't have a relationship with someone who is still discovering themselves."

" True. He probably wouldn't understand your workaholic ways."

" Hi, I am not that bad."

"…. Sure. Anyone else?"

" Not really…" She didn't feel like talking about 707. She has yet to fully understand him. He seemed like a character out of a cartoon or something. His personality felt like an exaggeration of sorts. Of course she could be wrong.

" So who was chatting with me just now?"

" It's Hynn. He is a musical actor, but I don't know how good he is…. I kinda want to see his performance." It wasn't a good idea to share Zen's name. She had a feeling it would do her no good if Yon saw him. That man's looks made an entirely too loud of a statement.

" Oooh someone who shares your passion. You should totally check out his work." Yeah, leave it for a workaholic writer to choose an actor to be interested in.

" Will do…" Eui wondered what type of plays was he in? If she went with looks he definitely would be romantice . She hoped he had more range than that. Being typecast would be boring.

" So are you interested in him… romantically I mean?"

"...Not sure. He is a bit too flirty for me." It felt awkward to respond to him and she wasn't really the type to casual flirting. If she is going to put an effort in courting she would like to see some result. Besides dating an actor or even a musical actor seemed like loads of trouble.

" come on now. You should take some risks."

Haha, what bad advice! Did she take a risk yesterday and was now paying for it? She would rather take risk on not dealing with people at all. It would be much safer and less chaotic.

" ever heard about an organization called RFA?" According to what Zen RFA was quite well known among the entertainment industry.

" RFA?" The name sounded familiar. The face of a beautiful blonde popped in her mind. " Rika's fundraising association….Yeah, I remember. They used to organize great parties. It was a perfect place to make connections with high profile people but they stopped doing any work a couple of years ago. I heard the main founder died." Yon attended one of their earlier parties with a client of hers. Their founder Rika left quite the impression.

" I see. Is it a shady organization?" Eui had to ask. Yesterday's events were rather strange.

" What? No. As far as I knew they were quite honest. They had C&R International company's Executive Director as one of the organizers and he doesn't seem like the type to do anything shady….."

Executive director? Oh she was talking about the trust fund kid. Well, that matches up with what she knew.

" wait? How did you hear about RFA anyway? You aren't the type to care about such things?" Yon's senses were telling her something was off.

Eui chuckled hopelessly. The type of work RFA is certainly outside her experties and now she was in charge of hosting their next party. How ironic? For someone like her who despised socialising especially in high profile parties to organize one. The irony?! " The musical actor Hynn told me about it. Apparently he used to get his sponsors from such events." There was no need to give her the details.

" Oh I see. If the two of you ever hit off, I would happily help him with sponsors." Yon knew of her friend's lack of interest in romance and how hard it is for men to date such a woman. So she would certainly need to bribe the man to stay with her best friend for a while longer or at least until he discovered her good points which were buried under years of workaholism.

" ….. I feel like you're mocking me here. I am perfectly capable of having a normal relationship without you bribing my boyfriend." She didn't appreciate the personal jab.

" Right, remember the guy you dated who was so in love with the main character in one of your books? The idiot thought the author might have similarities with his fake love… so he started dating you."

A long pause ensued as Eui relived one of her personal worst dating experiences. " Yon, do you like opening my old wounds? why not just stab with a dull knife instead." Although she didn't particularly like the guy much, it still did damage to her self esteem. It didn't help that she indulged in him acting out as the main character as a part of her writing process.. She was delighted how invested he was in her stories, but she didn't appreciate his dismissal of her true personality.

" Oh sorry Eui, I didn't mean to." She knew that relationship with one of the reasons Eui avoided dating like the plague.

" Maybe I am just not dating material."

" that isn't true. I am sure there is a man who would like a girl like you."

Eui brusted laughing. " Yeah right.. I have to get back to work. see you later this week."

" Yup, see on the weekend."

Eui ended her call with Yon and prepared a quick lunch. It was late in the afternoon when another chat opened. It was 707 so she immediately ignored it. The guy was dangerous and she didn't want any interaction with him unless she had to. Her curiosity got the better of her and she checked the chatlog. She almost fell over out of her chair in shock. Did that guy just send a photo of himself crossdressing? She had to double take at first. Yeah that definitely him in a wig and a white dress. That one terrifying image. If she wasn't on edge enough he had to remind her of possible danger looming behind the person who brought her to Rika's apartment. It didn't help that the apartment complex had a lot of security cameras. It made her feel paranoid that someone is watching her.

Later the day she had a chat with Yoousung about Rika, the parties and how to prepare for it. It was quite an informative chat and Yoosung was easy to talk to. She needed to write emails to possible guests. The other RFA members would probably be the ones responsible for bringing the guests in the first place so she needed to follow up. Maybe she could ask Yon if she knew people who would interested in RFA parties? well, she might need to explain the entire situation and she certainly couldn't.

Eui enjoyed her chat with Yoosung. He seemed really worried about pressuring her but at same time he certainly was excited about someone taking up Rika's work. She didn't want to disappoint such a good nature person. She wanted to live up to his expectation.

Another notification ring distracted her from her work. Man, those people seriously like to chat. Were they always like this or just recently? Jumin and Zen were online. Should she join the chat? well, at least she could say hi to Zen since they were on friendly terms. She was generally the type to rarely participate in chat with friends so it felt slightly out of character for her to ineciated

( 1st day – 18:58 – Concerns of two men)

Eui: Zen, you're on.

Zen: Hey, Eui.

Zen: The day's coming to an end, and I'm getting lonely.

What melancholy thing to say? Then again she could relate. If she didn't meet with Yon at least once a week she would be lonely too. Chats and phone calls aren't always enough to curb such negative feelings.

Jumin: Weak minds surrendering to solitude, how sad.

Zen: I don't want to hear that from someone who got a cat because he's lonely.

Jumin: You are mistaken if you think Elizabeth 3rd is a pet that merely soothes my loneliness.

Jumin: She is my companion. We have a life together.

Zen: Whatever. I don't want to talk about cats… I feel like sneezing.

That was to be expected. These two were like oil and water. They just don't mix will together on their own. She personally agreed with Zen and Jumin's answer wasn't really a rebuttal. One of the main reason's people get a pet as a companion is to soothe their loneliness and seriously a companionship between human and a pet with generally lacking. It seemed like an one sided companionship since a party entirely depends on the other to survive. Eui did get a pet to get over that disastrous relationship of hers. it didn't feel very fulfilling for her. Actually it was more of a pain than anything. Taking care of a pet was a huge responsibility and she didn't like the extra pressure.

Zen: Why do I feel so sentimental today?

Zen: Not like usual.

Jumin: Do you even know what sentimental means?

Zen:Confused Zen emoji

Zen: Isn't it… being excited and anxious at the same time like a teenager?

Jumin: Well. It means you become sensitive.

Jumin: I know the reason behind that.

Zen: Why?

Jumin: It's because of Eui.

Zen: Yup. That's true.

Jumin: Usually, Zen is busy annoying me.

Zen: What…

Zen: Eui will think that I bother people all the time.

Zen: Still. It's true my attention somewhere else lol

Zen: Because of Eui.

Eui: Why?

Weren't they just feeling nostalgic about Rika and RFA? If her appearance was tied to it they probably wouldn't have cared much. It is sure fire way to be sentimental is to remember a dead friend. It had nothing to do with her personally.

Zen: I think everyone's thinking the same thing~.

Jumin: Hosting the party.

Zen: Bingo.

Zen: I keep asking myself if we can finally host parties again now that MC's here.

Jumin: It may be Eui's chance to prove her worth.

" Excuse me?! Prove me worth? Well, I certainly worth more than someone with a golden spoon. I built my fortune from the ground up and didn't have my daddy handed to me." Eui's dislike towards Jumin skyrocketed. his callous words certainly hit her soft point. Her parents always talked about her worth and how being a writer was worthless. She was about to respond in kind, but she remembered her position. Didn't that asshole threaten to sue her? She probably should give a more water down response.

Eui: Why do I have to prove my worth to anyone?

Zen: Nice Eui lolol

Zen: Don't succumb to that robot~

Jumin: I have a habit of saying that to Assistant Kang. I'm sorry for saying that to a lady I've only just met.

That doesn't make it any better, your retard. Now she was starting to sympathise with Jaehee and she didn't even like her that much.

Jumin: To give my excuse…

Jumin: I tend to believe that all humans think about their worth at the back of their minds.

Jumin: But it's true that you're not obligated to prove that to others.

Eui : Is it good that I'm here with you guys?

Jumin: Time will tell the net profit.

ZEN: That was harsh;; Eui is not your employee.

As much as she hated to admit it, he had a point. It all comes down to how well she takes on Rika's job.

Jumin: That's not what I meant.

Jumin: If Eui can't handle Rika's work very well, then she's good for nothing. Just like Zen.

Zen: What? That jerk.

Was he being rude on purpose or was he just trying to rail them up? Either way she didn't like it. She was basically doing them a favor taking on Rika's job and she would appreciate some courtesy. It wasn't her fault their info got leaked and besides if that unknown person knew that much. He might be an acquantine of Rika so there is a possibility it was invited under the apartment owner's will and she didn't do anything wrong.

Zen:angry-zen emoji

Zen: Eui, don't listen to that pompous ass.

Zen: He's a stuck up jerk who judges everyone with his petty standards.

Zen: If you want to do Rika's work then you do, if you don't you don't.

Jumin: To be honest, if she doesn't do Rika's work, then there's no reason for her to be in this chat room.

JUMIN: Then V will tell 707 to deny her access to this room.

ZEN: Well…;; That's kind of true.

Eui : Do I even have a choice?

Jumin: It's not that you don't have a choice.

Jumin: You either leave and return to your life, or you stay and work.

Jumin: You can choose.

" Liar, didn't you threaten to sue me, you bastard if I don't do that bloody job." Eui was starting to seethe with anger. She was tempted to throw her phone and forget all about this mess.

Zen: ..I don't want to say farewell to Eui.

Jumin: That depends on her choice.

Jumin: And 'farewell'? How long have you known her?

Jumin: Pathetic.

Zen: Shut up. It's my choice.

Jumin: The reason why the parties were all successful is because Rika managed the guests so well.

Jumin: I wonder if Eui will do well…?

Was he issuing her a challenge? She wanted to proudly say she could easily outperform that Rika, but she wasn't sure yet. She certainly wanted the rich bastard to eat his own words. She was touched by Zen's kindness although it was kind of weird to defend someone so strongly. Did it have to do with her being a girl? Probably? no certainly. She doubted Zen would be so open if she were a man. It didn't have anything to do with her personally. Zen is just kind and considerate to all girls. It made her want to respond well to his kindness which was slightly out of her rather pessimistic nature.

Eui : I'm not sure yet… I'll just do it for now I guess.

Zen: It's okay if you're not good at it.

Zen: If you strain yourself trying to do well, then you'll only feel more burden.

Jumin: Well.

Jumin: Now that she's a member, I would like her to finish Rika's work perfectly.

Zen: Rika chose you Eui. You'll do well.

Zen:happy-zen emoji

Jumin: What do you know about Rika?

Zen: Well… yeah you're right.

Zen: I didn't know Rika that well to be honest.

Zen: I wasn't really interested in her. Well… I was thankful for sure.

Zem: But…

Zen: Rika and Eui are completely different people.

Zen: You can't expect her to do that same thing that Rika did.

Jumin: I'll say that's true for now.

Zen: Huh…

Jumin: ?

Zen: The director wants to get dinner with me;

Zen: I ate already T_T

Zen: I guess I have no choice but to go since he basically controls me…

Jumin: lol

Jumin: I should go and provide Elizabeth 3rd her meal.

Eui: Go ahead, Zen.

Zen: Okay.

Zen: Make sure you don't skip your meals, MC.

Zen: I'll be off.

Jumin: Good bye for meow.

Zen: Don't pretend to be a cat -_-

Eui closed her photo for the rest of the day. She wasn't in the mood to talk after their last chat. If she was a captured character in a dating game her dislike meter for Jumin would definitely be below zero then again she had a hunch the asshole could sweet talk any character if he wanted too. Zen would certainly ace the game with his skills. She personally has a love/hate relationship with otome games/dating sims. One one hand the main character's responses are so bland it is physically painful to read or the other hand the capture characters are so interesting that is such a shame that would end up with such one dimension/ one size fits all character. It is the downside of wanting a player's self insert.

She personally likes to think the MC is a mastermind out to capture a harem and she is faking her always accommodating white lily personna. That would certainly make a more interesting plot. Then you can get a reveal where the MC's true personality with all it's flaws revealed and disappointment of the love interest that his white lily is just a regular human and the one he loved was just an illusion. That would make for some first rate drama.

Eui was about to take a shower when her curiosity got the better of her and she opened her phone. She missed a chat between Jaehee and the cat freak about the party. She browsed through it. It gave a clear vision about their relationship as a boss and employee. An uptight boss who only cares about results and an employee that cares about her keeping her job. They suit each other quite well, however there is no doubt that Jaehee's personal life certainly suffers with such an insensitive and workaholic boss. She opened the app to see Zen online so she sighed in relief. She didn't want to deal with Jumin at that moment. It wasn't good for her mental health. It was almost ten at night. She wondered what he was doing now.

( 1st day – 21:50 – Zen's expectation)

Eui: Zen, you're not sleeping yet?

Zen : happy-zen emoji

Zen: You're awake too.

Zen: I don't think I can sleep tonight.

Zen: We have a new member and also…

Zen : the shocking news that she's at Rika's apartment

Zen : I think I'm going to be up all night thinking about you lol

Zen : Since the controversial one is here, let's talk a bit.

She has a lot to think about as well so she could relate, however did he have to phrase it that way? It sounds like such a corny pickup line. Then again most of what he says could be used as a pick up line. Mr. Flirty as always isn't he.

Zen : Do you usually go to bed late

Eui: I tend to.

Zen: You're a night owl?

Zen: I go to bed pretty late too.

Zen: If I finish the practice late, I come home and practice my lines again.

Zen: That keeps me up pretty late.

Zen: crying-zen emoji

Zen: It's a bad habit but it's hard to fix.

Zen: Eui

Zen: How do you feel about getting involved in all this.

Zen: If I were you… I would have said no.

Zen: It's too much of a bother lol

Oh another workaholic joined the chat. Are all of them workaholic except for Yoosung? 707 seemed like a laid back guy but he also seemed to be busy with work. Well, she wanted to say no to, but some asshole threatened to sue her for trespassing. Why does that fact seem to slip their mind? Wasn't a serious threat? Was she the only one who took it seriously or something? She definitely considered quitting especially after their last chat, however she was curious about a lot of things. Who brought here? What is their relationship with Rika? Did they choose her specifically? or was it just a coincidence? Why did V accept her so easily? She was bloody living in his dead girlfriend's house. He should have had a negative reaction to this fact, but he seemed rather neutral. Did he expect her arrival? To leave all those questions unanswered would certainly keep her up at night.

Eui: I am a bit curious to see what will happen.

Zen: I like your honesty.

Zen: Right now, you'll be confused…

Zen: about what Rika used to do, what the party is and all that.

Zen: Take your time to figure things out.

Zen: Also think about if this is the right choice for you.

Zen: To be honest, I'd like to meet you in person.

Zen: Of course… V will never let me.

Meeting in person? She thought about attending one of his plays but meeting him in person. Wasn't too early for that? She looked at herself in the mirror and tried to imagine meeting Zen in person. She certainly didn't like how that scenario went. Online she could think through her replies and even on the phone she had time to choose best responses, however in person that would be impossible without it being awkward as hell. Just imaging it left a bad taste in her mouth. It is better to change the subject and pray that scenario never happens, however her curiosity got the better of her and just asked a dumb question.

Eui: What do you want to do when you meet me?

Zen: Hahaha

Zen: Good question…

Zen: It depends on what you want.

Zen: Since I'm an actor, I can act out anything.

Zen: Why don't you use that?

Eui sighed in defeat. Can he say anything more suggestive? Please stop. Well, she would like to say two can play that game, but she couldn't. her acting skill might be good, but she was rubbish at the romantic genre. His flirting specs are so high. She would certainly get ko'd.

Zen: Anyways…

Zen: I can't figure out what V is thinking.

Zen: He's probably with Seven trying to find out who led you to the apartment.

Zen: Thinking about that makes my head hurt lol

Zen: I am a member…

Zen: So I fully trust V, and intend to follow whatever he decides.

Zen: I hope you get the chance to talk to V more.

Zen: But unfortunately… he rarely logs in.

Eui: Why doesn't V come here often?

Zen: You can only log in to this chat room when you have the Internet.

Zen: As far as I know, V travels a lot these days.

Zen: So I think… it's because he often goes to places where he does not have internet access.

Zen: I don't know why he travels that much though.

Zen: I have to go practice my lines.

Zen: You should go to bed early.

Zen: We can talk tomorrow. ^^

Eui: I'll go to bed soon.

ZEN: Good girl.

Zen: You're cute.

Zen: Then I'll get going.

Zen:happy-zen emoji

Zen: Oh. I forgot.

Zen: * Photograph Of A Flower*

Zen: This is a photo that V gave me as a gift…

Zen: He told me to think of it whenever I feel nervous.

Zen: I think about this photo before I go up on stage.

Zen: If you… feel nervous too…

Zen: I hope this helps you get over it.

Zen: Good night…!

It was almost eleven at night. She usually didn't go to bed early, but she had an important book signing early tomorrow at the public liabary and she couldn't go with a dark circular under her eyes. She took a quick shower and put on her pajamas before hedging to bed. She opened her phone to send a confirmation about tomorrow's appointment when she noticed Jaehee was online. She didn't feel like talking to her at first, but she changed her mind at the last minute. As the only other female in the group she at least had to talk to her.

( 1st day − 23:15 − Jaehee's favor)

Eui : Hello.

Jaehee: Hello, Eui

Jaehee: It's late.

Jaehee: I'm glad you came.

Jaehee: I wanted to talk to you.

Jaehee: As you well know…

Jaehee: everyone dearly hopes to hold the party.

Jaehee: It seems that you have two choices.

Jaehee: You escape that place and go back to your daily life, or you stay there and do what you can.

Jaehee: I… hope that you choose the latter.

Jaehee: To repeat…

Jaehee: I hope you take on Rika's work and carry it on.

It's too late for that now. You don't pressure someone then tell they have the right to choose. She decided to take on Rika's work and didn't plan backing down.

Eui : I plan to try my best.

Jaehee: Thank you for saying that.

Jaehee: You will be happy if you stay with us.

Jaehee: I… did not voluntarily join the organization either.

Jaehee: but I have never regretted it.

She thought as much. Jaehee didn't strike her as someone to do volunteer work. She seriously hoped Jumin paid her enough for all that extra work.

Jaehee: Who attends our party…

Jaehee: All depends on you.

Jaehee: Before you leave…

Jaehee: Do you have any other questions?

Jaehee: I cannot tell you about V or Rika…

Jaehee: but I can share what I know about the other members.

Who should she ask about? Well, she was curious about the one who directed her privacy, however she wasn't sure it was safe to ask about a person like him. She wanted to avoid him at all costs. Information about Jumin, she could just ask Yon or read public information about him. She doubted his personal life was anything interesting to ask about. She could ask about Yoosung and Zen as she liked the two of them best. She could also ask about Jaehee personally. She didn't have much interest in their personal life and didn't want to sound nosy. After a minute of thought she decided to ask about Zen. She wanted to know about his work. If he acted in interesting work. Jaehee should definitely know about this. Her interest was pure perfessional.

Eui: I'm curious of Zen.

Jaehee: His real name is Hyun Ryu. He does not use this name very often.

Jaehee: He debuted as a musical actor at a small theater company when he was 16.

Jaehee: He gained some publicity with the musical 'Tei's Tea Leaf' when he was 19.

Jaehee And until now, he has been gathering many fans with his amazing singing, dancing, and acting skills.

Jaehee: But he has never held a meet and greet or an event for fans. He hasn't been involved in any scandal as well.

Jaehee: His only interest seems to be acting and improving his singing and dancing. Nothing else.

Wait that doesn't seem right. Nothing else, my ass. That guy is clearly desperate for a girlfriend. He even got happy when a strange girl popped up in their private chat. If that doesn't scream lonely and want a girlfriend then Eui would start to doubt her analysing skills.

Jaehee: This is all that is known to the public.

Jaehee: In actuality, he is a workaholic man in his 20's with a dirty mouth but an affectionate heart.

Wait, a second. Define dirty mouth because that could mean two different things. Actually she could see it being both with how suggestive he was being and how bad tempered he was with Jumin.

JAEHEE: In addition, it's been said that his agency earns more profit from selling photos of him than from ticket sales.

That is kinda sad in a way. It is like someone telling her book sold out only because the cover was pretty. That would be a huge blow to her ego, but then again Zen seemed to be proud of his looks.

Jaehee: Zen's beautiful looks are absolute amongst women.

Jaehee: Zen photo #4

Hi, did she just send a photo collage of Zen's selfies and movie posters? Oh, dear she did. She didn't know what to react to. Zen sending his selfie in bed to a group chat or Jaehee actually keeping it. Wait, is that a collage of his photo or did she actually print them out? Eui didn't want to over think it so she didn't comment.

Jaehee: I hope this answered some of your questions.

Jaehee: This is all I know.

Jaehee: It may not be fun chatting with me since I'm a woman…

Jaehee: but I hope you do not avoid me too much.

Well, she planned on avoiding her, but not because she was a woman. What gave her the strange idea? Personally she prefers female company to male ones. Most guys can't really be platonically friends with women especially if they became close.

Eui: You're fun too.

Jaehee: Me?

Jaehee: …I have never heard that before.

Jaehee: I think you are quite peculiar.

That was an understatement. Eui had been called manything and normal was never one of them. She honestly thought Jaehee might be fun if she loosen up a little. As a fan of musical theatre, they certainly had something in common to talk about. She would probably be the only member she wouldn't mind meeting in person. She always got along with fans of the entertainment industry ( Movies,theatre,books,games). As long as they love something that has a story then they certainly had her interest.

Jaehee: I'll leave now to get some sleep.

Jaehee: I hope you enjoy your night.

Eui: Sleep tight.

Jaehee: Thank you. I hope you do not stay up too late.

Jaehee certainly needs good sleep with a boss like Jumin. Eui was starting to like that uptight secretary. Hopefully she can get along in the future. She checked her alarm for the next day and went to bed wondering what the next day had in store for her.
