I wasn't happy about this. I found myself at Jeon Corporation just two days after the interview, having been selected. The fact that they chose me after the interview stirred conflicting emotions within me. It felt like confirmation that I was leveraging Ella and our friends for personal gain. Y/n contemplated silently as she stared at the guidelines for interns, dressed in professional office attire.

The cubicle where she sat was part of a larger space, with many other cubicles occupied by girls and boys of her age, all engaged in their tasks. The hushed murmurs suddenly ceased, and Y/n looked up to see everyone standing on their chairs. Confusion gripped her, but she froze in place, recognizing the familiar cologne lingering in the air.
