8 years later...

"Hey, you guys memorized all the names, right?" A girl asked while standing in a group with other beginners.

"Of course we did. We memorized everyone's name." The other starters replied while writing things down in a small book.

"What are you doing?" A low voice asked causing the others to jump back. The same girl rolled her eyes.

"Why are you so surprised? Did you commit a sin?" The boy asked unbothered.

"Why are you speaking formally? We always speak informally among colleagues." The smaller woman explained a little bit annoyed and surprised at the same time.

"We even talk informally to him." The woman spoke as she pointed at another man that was almost the same height as herself and a little bit bigger.

"Hello, it's nice to see you." He spoke a little bit offended by the woman's words.

"Eh?" The boy asked a little bit lost, he rose his hand and made a small bow.

"It's nice to see you." He finished while moving up again.

"Here, shall we share our information?" The woman asked with a small smirk placed on her face. The small group was formed again; their heads against each other and gossips coming out of their mouths.

Until...

"...if you cry, you get branded. And if you get brandedㅡ"

"You'll Die!!" A loud voice cut the woman off. Everyone got startled and jumped back except for the small woman. She just stopped functionating..

Everyone walked up into a certain spot while she stood in between, her back facing the loud man.

"Stop your idle talk and follow me!"

"Yes!"

Everyone started following the man with fear crawling up their bodies.. they had a small tour and got branded pretty quickly...

I know what you're thinking... where are you? Well... let me explain a little...

You, Seo Y/n has been studying your ass off for the past 6 years until you finally got into the job as a reporter. You're a main reporter that helps the new ones aka Greenies BUT.. after these new people came they put you as lower-ranking... making you stand as a greenie again.

You're sitting at a table with the cap(tain) and the leader of the new group. They were giving you some information about the greenies until they heard the loud yellㅡ
