A cheerful, twenty something woman strode happily through the street, the bright sun of a new morning gleaming over her head and everyone else's generously.

She wondered what she should do that day; maybe hang out with some of her friends later or go eat something at some nice cafe.

But when she turned her head to the side, her eyes met with a wide, elegant-looking poster.

"The C&R International Company is currently seeking for a candidate of the Chief Assistant position. Please contact us if you are interested."

"Huh?" The carefree girl of long bangs and straight sepia hair tilted her head to the side. Well, now she knew what'd she'd be doing for the day.

..

Meanwhile on her own side of the story, pop sensation Echo Girl had the same wonderful idea to show up at the company building, just to have a chance with the Ceo-in-line, Jumin Han.

After he laid his eyes on her, there was no way in this world he wouldn't contract her in a heartbeat!

And then, she would get to have her own, perfectly beautiful love tale with a corporate heir-

"I'm sorry, miss. But you don't seem to have the requirements for the position." She was forcefully snapped out of her thoughts when the man behind the front desk gave her a depreciative look and signaled her to the exit.

Needless to say, Echo Girl was outraged.

"What?!" she hissed, her previously lovey-dovey eyes turning into a murderous glare. "What are you talking about?!"

"You don't even have a resume, miss," the employee responded, not able to care less, and shifting back to his paperwork; his eyes glued to the computer.

"Well," she said with a huff, "Who cares about resumes and all that stuff when you have me standing right in front of your super lame office!"

The annoyed employee was about retort something when, just oportunely, another girl arrived, smiling slightly but also looking a bit confused.

"Um, hello," she greeted politely, "I've come for the assistant job..."

The man who served as a mediator between Echo Girl and her goal of "conquesting" Jumin smiled back, waving his hand for her to come closer to the desk. "Hello, may I take a hold of your resume, miss?"

"Oh, yeah, of course," the brunette woman agreed, quickly pulling the papers out of her purse and handing them to him.

"Mi-Cha Park, I see..." the employee's smile grew slightly when he pleasantly noticed the fact said girl's work history was actually quite long and respectable.

"Most call me MC." She chuckled jokingly, giving the man a handshake, which he returned.

On the other hand, Echo Girl definitely wasn't pleased as she shockedly stared at the two people, most specifically at her rival who was actually close to "stealing" her job with a wave of her finger.

Her gawking was interrupted when she heard the employee utter the doomed words she most feared.

"Please follow me as I direct you to Mr. Han's office for an interview, miss Park," he signaled to her, getting up from his chair and walking ahead; MC following enthusiastically.

"Eh?!" the blue-eyed hysterical woman yelled, extremely enfuriated by the clear rejection. "How dare you!" She got in front of both of them and aggressively pointed a sharp finger at the poor employee.

"I could sue your whole damn company right now-"

"Um, did I arrive at a bad moment?" Jaehee Kang timidly questioned, not sure of whatever kind of nonsense was currently going on in front of her eyes.

"Yes! This guy is discriminating me!" she accused, still pointing at the now panicking worker.

"Just 'cause I'm a successful, beautiful pop star, he wants to kick me out and won't give a chance with Jumin!" Echo Girl whined, pouting childishly.

"Pardon?" Jaehee tilted her head to the side in pure puzzlement, still getting no idea of what was happening.

"Please don't mind us, miss Kang..." the employee urged her with greatly irritated eyes. "Mr. Han is waiting for you at his office," he informed her, before walking right past Echo Girl and calling security.

"What? What?!" the woman exclaimed louder and louder every sentence, her indignation growing as well. "Y-you can't do this...! I'm Echo Girl-"

Her voice ironically echoed outside the building as she was dragged by the the security men, until her bodyguards put a stop to it and forced her back to the her limousine while she threw a tantrum.

The now relieved employee sighed, throwing an apologetic glance at Jaehee, and directing MC towards Jumin again.

Jaehee went her own way, patiently waiting for the elevator to come down and take her to her boss's studio.

..

"The advice you gave me didn't work," Jumin growled to the person on the other side of the line, gripping his phone tightly and pinching the bridge of his nose, searching for the patience to not kill someone.

"Whaaaat? Really?" Seven responded with an elongated, dramatic gasp.

"Not in the minuminum," the black-haired man affirmed, obviously enfuriated. "Explain yourself," he demanded right afterwards.

"Hey, hey," Luciel attempted to calm him down, knowing an angry Jumin was always bad news. "Did you even propose to her correctly?!" the redhead exclaimed in accusation.

"Of course I did," Jumin snapped, feeling even more offended. "I showed up at her house and asked her to marry me..."

"And?" At Jumin's sudden silence, Seven amusedly urged him to finish his sentence.

"She... Just laughed at my face," the Trustfund Kid was finally able to conclude, clearly embarrassed, though his tight voice wouldn't let it show.

At this statement, Luciel couldn't help but explode with wheezing laughter, soon falling on the floor and grabbing his stomach as it began to hurt from the giggles.

Seeing that Luciel wasn't planning on stopping any time soon, Jumin's glare deepened. "If you keep mocking me, I will steal one of your cars and burn it," he threatened in all seriousness, using Seven's weakness without mercy.

"No...!" He immediately stopped, crying in agony instead. "My baby...!"

Just in that moment, Jaehee happened to walk into the office, having already knocked around four times before, but her boss was too occupied chastising Seven to notice. He surprisedly turned around after hearing her warm, melodious voice behind him call his name.

"Mr. Han? Are you okay?" the petite woman asked unsurely, peeking her head from the other side of the door.

Jumin coughed, an embarrassed blush suddenly covering his face as his eyes became wide at the sight of the person he was just speaking of right in front of him. "Of course... Welcome, Assistant Kang," he greeted, managing to put on his business mask after recovering from his initial response. "Are you ready for the interview?"

"Yes," she told him with a curt nod, "I finished all the reports, I'm just missing some paperwork of less importance by now..." Jaehee informed the man before her voice gradually trailed off.

She couldn't help but glance away from Jumin's strong gaze, feeling self conscious of what happened between them not too long ago.

For a minute, the two were standing in front of each other, extremely uncomfortable and awkward, while avoiding talking about the subject.

After an excruciating while had went by, Jumin faked a cough into his hand again, clearing his throat.

"Alright. Call the first candidate, then," he ordered quietly, which was very unlike him, as he still avoided her gaze and instead kept his eyes closed.
