"You need another cup of coffee Minji?" Danielle walked into her kitchen where Minji's already sitting by the dinner table, having her breakfast as she noticed her friend's still heavy looking eyes before they lifted up as Minji saw Danielle. "Yes please..." Minji heaved out as she stood up and went over to Danielle who's by her coffee maker.

"You look tired, I'm not going to lie." Danielle addressed her concern as Minji could only chuckle rather weakly. "Yeah, I'm okay. I like to call this like a period of me adjusting to commute myself to work because goodness me daily commutes are so tiring Dani..." Minji got another cup of coffee while letting out a sigh.

"Take it easy okay? You have a job now, that's the main thing but your health is as important as well." And Minji could only nod as she finished up her coffee and making her way to her daily commute as usual.

It's been seven days since and Minji's daily routine nowadays consisted of her waking up early, got dressed, breakfast and commuted to work by the subway. It's tiring, obviously, but even though it's only been a week since she started working for tgeheompany, she's been enjoying it so far, mainly because Minji got Hanni next to her.

Hanni's exactly what Minji pictured her to be in her mind. Cheerful, super friendly and she's just this ball of happy-go-lucky personality that Minji's been enjoying together as the two started to get closer. Meanwhile less could be said about Yongjae as there's still a bit of awkwardness between him and the ladies. 

It's not that he didn't speak with Minji and Hanni, he did but sometimes he only talked to them when he needed to and most the time he would just stay quiet while focusing himself in doing the tasks given to them. If Minji's having a hard time, imagine how Hanni's feeling about it when the man who got her attention the first day they met somehow felt like a tough ice to break, even for someone as outgoing as Hanni.

Also surprisingly, during the seven days since she started, with the exception of her first day, Minji hasn't actually seen or even walk past the boss, Jeongin and to be honest with herself, she's been having non-stop thoughts of what would even happen if she and Jeongin were about to have a conversation after the whole elevator incident and even then Minji's contemplating whether she wanted to talk to him again after everything that happened.

Though being raised in a remote farmer's village, Minji too grew up with her parents implementing good traits into her and one of them is not to be too gullible and not to put too much trust into people who's not been truthful to her. And with those values implemented in Minji herself, she didn't know whether to put her trust into someone that apparently had lied to her, moreover he's basically the boss, the top of the pecking order while she's probably at the bottom chain of the order.

...but looking back, the way he lied was not really shadowed with ill-mannered ways because the two of them were basically trapped in an elevator with no lights, no phone signals and probably they're having countless amount of fears and anxieties crawling up into their minds. Minji somehow thought that he only lied because of the distress situation they're in at that moment and to say that she's stuck with the boss himself would invite more pressure and overthinking in Minji.
