EPISODE - 1 PART - 1 (LILIANA KIM)
Author
One of my favourite lyrics from itzy
Author
Ok let's get into the story
The darkness of the room was slowly pierced by the harsh glow of the phone's screen, signaling the unwelcome arrival of 5 am.
The girl, nestled under the blankets, stirred reluctantly as the alarm shrilled to life.
Her eyes fluttered open, bleary and uncooperative, as she reached out a languid hand to silence the persistent ringing.
Her gaze wandered to the walls, adorned with medals and cups she had won in taekwondo competitions.
The symbols of her hard work and dedication sparkled in the dim light, a reminder of her passion and achievements.
She stepped into the bathroom, flipping on the light switch.
She approached the sink, running her fingers under the faucet to splash water on her face.
she opens the bathroom door and steps out into the hallway.
she takes a deep breath, feeling refreshed and ready to start her day.
She heads towards the front door, her black tracksuit a sleek and sporty outfit for her morning jog.
As she reaches the door, she grabs her water bottle and earbuds, preparing for her run.
she steps out into the crisp morning air.
After some time she came back to her house
As she stepped back into the house, the aroma of her mom's cooking wafted through the air, making her stomach growl with hunger.
She had just finished her morning jog.
She headed straight to her room.
After a quick shower to wash away the sweat, she dried her hair
As she dried her hair, she noticed a small, yellow sticky note stuck to the bathroom mirror.
she walked over to read the scribbled message, recognizing her sister's familiar handwriting.
The note was brief, just a few words: "Don't get angry today." A gentle reminder, almost a plea, from her sister.
As she read the note, she couldn't help but smile
Her sister knew her all too well that she(fl) had a tendency to let her temper get the better of her, especially on stressful days.
And today the CEO's son was scheduled to visit the office, and everyone was on edge.
She got dressed in a sleek black hoodie and office clothes.
With her hair styled neatly and her shoes polished.
She headed downstairs to see what her mom had prepared for breakfast,
Her mind already shifting to the tasks and challenges awaiting her at the office.
Kim ji-hyun
*rushing out the door*
Kim ji-hyun
Mom, I'm running late! I don't have time for breakfast.
Mrs.kim
Ji Won, you have to eat something before you go! You can't go all day on an empty stomach.
Kim ji-hyun
*already halfway out the door*
Kim ji-hyun
I'll grab something at the office, Mom. Don't worry about it.
Mrs.kim
But you're already late... Fine, take these with you then.
Mrs.kim
*Hands Kim Ji Won two lunch boxes*
Mrs.kim
give one lunch box to lily on your way
Kim Ji-hyun walked out of her house, carrying a neatly packed lunch that her mother had prepared earlier.
She made her way to Lily's house, just a short distance away, with a warm smile on her face.
With a gentle knock on the door, Kim Ji-hyun awaited Lily's response.
Author
Here, let me introduce lily
Author
Her full name is Liliana kim
Author
she is the childhood friend of our fl
Author
And also her neighbour
Author
Lily's father does business in America; he is an American.
Author
Her mother is a popular Korean chef who now works as a judge on a Korean cooking show.
Author
Lily is a Korean singer and also a songwriter. She is a human lie detector, able to tell if someone is lying.
kim ji-hyun had known Lily since they were kids, growing up as neighbors and becoming close friends.
Ji-hyun's mom had a kind tradition of packing lunch for both her and Lily, a small gesture that had become a comforting routine during their childhood.
Even now, Ji-hyun's mom would often ask her to drop off a lunch box at Lily's place.
This time was no different, except that Ji-hyun's mom had also mentioned that Lily's mom had recently won the Best Chef award.
When Ji-hyun arrived at Lily's house, she found her alone and congratulated her on her mom's win,
Since Lily's mom wasn't there to receive the congratulations herself.
Kim ji-hyun
Hey, Lily! Congrats on your mom's big win!
Liliana kim
Thanks, Ji-hyun. What are you talking about?
Kim ji-hyun
Your mom winning the Best Chef award! My mom told me about it.
Liliana kim
Oh, yeah! I'm really proud of her. We don't get to see each other often, but she's still doing amazing things.
Kim ji-hyun
I bet! My mom's been raving about her cooking for years. Anyway, my mom asked me to drop off this lunch box for you.
Liliana kim
Aww, thanks! Your mom still takes care of me, even though...well, you know. It's nice to have some consistency in my life.
Kim ji-hyun
Yeah, she's still got that mom habit going on! She says it's her way of taking care of us, even if we're grown up now.
Liliana kim
I love it. It's always nice to have a home-cooked meal. Your mom's cooking is like a comfort for me, you know?
Kim ji-hyun
ok bye, I'm already late

EPISODE - 1 PART - 2 (MISTREATMENT)
I was afraid to be judged
So I hide amongst the regular
As Kim Ji-hyun approached the entrance of her company, a careless girl bumped into her, pushing her slightly off balance, but fortunately, she managed to steady herself without falling.
choi ji-min
Oh, sor... I mean... never mind.
Kim ji-hyun
*steadies herself*
The girl didn't even bother to apologize, a gesture that didn't surprise Kim Ji-hyun, as she had grown accustomed to being treated with indifference.
Later, as she rushed to catch the elevator, she found herself facing closed doors, despite her haste.
Kim ji-hyun
*rushes to catch the elevator* "Wait!"
Kim ji-hyun
*sighs* "Seriously?"
The people inside didn't make an effort to hold the elevator for her, but when another girl arrived, they readily stopped it for her.
Kim Ji-hyun couldn't help but feel that she was often treated as an outcast, someone who didn't warrant consideration.
However, instead of taking the elevator, she decided to climb the stairs to the 4th floor, feeling a sense of satisfaction and independence as she reached her destination before her colleagues.
As she entered the editing department, she was met with a chorus of "Happy Birthday,"
But her colleagues quickly realized they had mistaken her for someone else.
park tae-hyun
Oh, sorry! We thought you were... someone else.
A gentle-voiced colleague asked her to step outside and wait, his tone polite but still dismissive, leaving Kim Ji-hyun with a sense of being an unwelcome presence.
park min soo
Kim Ji-hyun, could you please step outside for a moment?
Kim ji-hyun
Alright... Sure.
Kim ji-hyun
*getting angry*
Kim ji-hyun
(kim ji-hyun, calm down)
As Kim Ji-hyun stepped outside, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her.
The awkward moment had passed, but the feeling of being an outsider lingered.
As she stood there, lost in thought, the gentle-voiced colleague, whose name was Min-soo, approached her.
park min soo
Ji-hyun, I'm so sorry about the confusion earlier. We were actually celebrating Oh Ji-hye's birthday.
before she could even finish the sentence the team leader kim came shouting at everyone
The team leader's sudden arrival and loud reprimand caught everyone off guard.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
What's going on here?
the team leader, thundered, his voice echoing through the room.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
The CEO's son will be arriving at 10:00 and here you all are celebrating? Go back to work!
The room fell silent as the team quickly dispersed, returning to their stations.
"Sorry, Team Leader," one of the team members stammered.
team leader kim's gaze landed on Kim Ji-hyun.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
And you, get back to work! We can't afford to have you standing around when the CEO's son arrives. Do you know how important this meeting is?
Kim Ji-hyun felt a surge of annoyance at team leader kim's tone.
Kim ji-hyun
Yes, Team Leader.
team leader kim's expression remained stern.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
I expect everyone to be focused and prepared. We can't afford any mistakes today.
The team scrambled to comply, their movements swift and efficient. The atmosphere in the room was tense, with an undercurrent of anxiety.
oh ji-hye
Hey, Kim...Ji-hyun?, um....can you sweep the staircase?
Kim Ji-hyun nodded, trying to remain calm.
the requests kept piling up. "Kim Ji-hyun, can you take the trash out?" "Kim Ji-hyun, can you buy some coffee?"
Meanwhile, the team members whispered to each other behind her back.
choi ji-min
I don't know how she manages to dress herself every morning
oh ji-hye
She's just so... weird.
kang soyeon
I know, right?
kang soyeon
And have you seen her hair? It's like she stuck her finger in a socket.
Kim Ji-hyun's face remained neutral, but her eyes flashed with anger. She took a deep breath and focused on her work, trying to ignore the snickers and whispers.
