'So you have to color it like this.' Y/N said as she finally turned off the recording.
'What are you doing?' Rainer asked.
'Nothing. Just recording a tutorial for one of the newcomers in my second job.' Y/N replied.
'Oh. Are you and your friends going to the department dinner?'
'Yes. I missed the last one. Can't afford to miss this one and become the center of others' gossip.'
'Hahaha.' Rainer laughed as Y/N sent the video to her junior.
'So, what brings you here?' Y/N asked as she took a bit of the burger.'
'Nothing. Just saw you have some snacks and thought to join you.'
'Oh, where is Feng?' Y/N asked.
Feng was another colleague of hers and her friends.
'I have never seen you alone. I always so you and Feng sticking together like glue.' Y/N snickered.
'Yeah yeah. He is with Shizu right now.'
Y/N narrowed her eyes.
'He has a crush on my girl?' Y/N asked.
'Nah, he has engaged, bro. They were told to check the cancer patients.'
'Yo!'
Y/N and Rainer looked at the newcomer and saw that it was Loid, Shizu, and Feng.
'We were just talking about you!' Rainer laughed.
'Is that so?' Shizu said as she threw some fries in her mouth after taking them from Y/N's plate.
Loid and Feng had brought cappuccino as Rainer was drinking hot coffee.
'You missed lunch today?!' Loid asked as he saw Y/N's plate.
'Yeah. I just brought these since I will be joining the department dinner late.'
'Why?' Loid asked.
'Yeah, I have to do some rough sketches for the new series. I have been falling behind since I didn't sketch two characters.'
'Oh. So do you want me to stay with y-'
'Nah! I feel energetic while I am alone and I can think better.' Y/N laughed at her words.
'Okay then.' Rainer nodded.

'Cause I am your home home home home!' Y/N sang as she nodded her head to the beat.
It was 8 o'clock. The interns and others came to the dinner half an hour ago. Y/N sat on the bench of a nearby children's playground.
It was a peaceful night. Cold waves brewed through the night as she tried to focus on her raw sketch.
But the more silent it was, the more her brother's words echoed through her ears.
Finally not being able to handle it anymore, she put some songs and put the left AirPods on her left ear, and turned the volume high.
'You know without you I'm so lonely when you not here 911 calling~'
She sang as she sighed and turned another page around.
'Why are you calling 911? Did you lose someone?'
Y/N flinched as she looked up to see a guy with a mask and hat looking at her. He was also were sunglasses at night which confused her.
'No one is lost. I was just singing.' Y/N replied in Japanese since the guy also asked her in Japanese.
'Oh. Can I sit here?' The boy asked.
Y/N looked at the empty side and let out a quiet sigh before nodding her head. She pushed her pencil bag to her right side and gave the boy the right side of the bench.
'Thank you.'
Y/N nodded as she again tried to sketch. At that time her phone rang.
She looked at the caller ID to see that it was the newcomer of the Webtoon company. She took a glance at the guy and saw him wearing earphones while looking at his phone.
'Hello?' She answered the call.

I glanced at the Japanese girl who sat beside me before putting my earphones in.
She was wearing a doctor's coat. I could see the stethoscope around her neck. The gloves were peaking up through the pocket of her coat.
She peacefully yet silently drew as I also pulled my phone out.
The boys were practicing for the concert. But Jin hyung and I got free early. Jin hyung went to have his dinner and I wanted to take a night walk.
This park was empty until I saw her. She was wearing a lab mask. Maybe she forgot to put it down. But I really liked how she sang.
At first, I thought that she actually wanted to call 911. So I thought maybe I was exposed or maybe she lost someone but when I replayed the moment inside my head, I understood that she was singing our dosaeng's song.
'When are you coming back?'
I saw Jin hyung's text.
'In 10 minutes or so. Why?'
I heard a vibration as I took a glance and saw her looking at her phone now. Not giving much attention, I focused on Jin hyung.
'Nothing. I will buy coffee for us then.'
'Okay. Thanks.'
.
.
'Hello?'
I heard her suddenly speaking.
'Yes. No, it's okay. My duty is over. No, don't be sorry. It is my duty to help the juniors. So tell me where are you suffering?'
By her words, it felt like she was talking to her junior yet patient. Somehow my focus diverted towards her as I blankly looked at my phone.
'Ah! Don't do Hwan and Haru's! You were assigned Solon and Heli's part. Do you know Kazua? She is another supervisor apart from me. You can ask her if you can't find it. But please don't touch the model of Hwan and Haru! I will send you the photo. Avoid those models!'
She sounded so panicked. I on the other hand was bewildered when I heard those names. Haru as in me and Hwan as in Jin hyung?! Isn't it the Webtoon series which we collaborated with?!
My attention was completely on her now. I was curious. Was she one of the editors?! I never met any editors who were in this series. I only met the director and those who made the MV and other things.
I saw her trying to take a photo of her digital notebook. Taking the opportunity I said,
'Do you want me to hold it for you to take a photo?'
She at first was surprised. I could see her face moving quickly from me to her notebook as she nodded her head.
'Please. Turn around the pages for me. It will help me.If you just swipe like this, the page will turn to the next page.'
I took the notebook from her and held it out for her. I gawked at the notebook or the digital sketchbook as I saw the raw sketches.
There were some lips, some eyes. She quickly turned around the page and gave it to me as she started to take photos.
It was the full body of our Webtoon characters!
'Woah!' A small astonishing sound left from my mouth as I turned over the pages for her.
There was the intro photo of Zeha too.
She really drew our characters!
'Nobisuke! Are you there? Can you assist the new girl?! She will mess with the characters! And make sure to see if she uses the main computer. She has to use another computer. Otherwise, if she makes any mistake, the episode will get uploaded!'
When she finished giving voice text, I couldn't help but to ask,
'Are you one of the assistants of the 7 fates Chakho Webtoon series?'
She looked at me as if she saw a ghost. I debated whether I should take off my mask and introduce myself or not..
