Jibeom's storytelling
Jibeom decides to leave Areum with his in-laws for a while because his schedule is kind of tight right now. Jibeom does apologise to his in-laws too but they are totally understanding that. They are happy to help Jibeom as much as they can but of course, it leaves Jibeom in guilt. His in-laws tell Jibeom that they want to make Areum's birthday party this weekend. They are planning to make it on Saturday, at their bakery. Jibeom agrees. Jibeom tells that he'll buy some decorations for it so his in-laws have just to focus on Areum's cake.

At 2:45pm,
Jibeom arrives at S studio. He's the first one to arrive. Jibeom enters the studio.
"Excuse me, may I know your name? And your reasons for coming?" The secretary asks.
"I'm Kim Jibeom. One of the Serendipity members. I'm coming here as Master told us to.." Jibeom says.
"Ah! Please come in!" The secretary greets Jibeom, and she brings Jibeom to the waiting room.
* * *
A few minutes later, all Serendipity members arrive. After everyone has come, one of the organisers starts to introduce their staffs and the activity agendas.
"We'll be having individual photoshoots and some of you will have groups photos. Our teams will be conducting your individual photoshoots at different locations. Hopefully you all can give the maximum cooperation to us!" One of the directors gives a talk. After a few minutes, they have separated to their own activities. Jibeom, Joochan, Chaerin, Aya and Hanni are having only indoor photoshoot sessions while Leia, Jaehyun and Donghyun are having outdoor photoshoot sessions.
While waiting for their activities to start, they are wandering around the studio to check on other participants. Some of them like Jaehyun and Chaerin has already started their photoshoot sessions while others are still waiting for their turn.
* * *
Aya and Hanni come to the studio for their turns after Chaerin.
"Chaerin looks so beautiful!" Aya says.
"I know right?! She's so natural!" Hanni says.
"After Miss Ha, it's Miss Jang's turn. Please be ready" the staff says. Aya and Hanni nods.
"Hanni! I'm nervous!" Aya says.
"Don't be nervous! You're looking good!" Hanni says.
"I've never wear like this! I'm nervous!" Aya says.
"You look stunning! Seriously!" Hanni says.
"Miss Jang Aya!" The staff calls Aya's name. Aya walks nervously. Chaerin cheers for Aya. Aya smiles nervously. Then Chaerin walks away from the studio set, heading to Hanni who's waiting for her turn.
"Have you done?" Hanni asks. Chaerin shakes her head.
"I need to prepare for the next photoshoot.." Chaerin says.
"What?! There's more?!" Hanni is shocked.
"Yeah.." Chaerin says.
* * *
Joochan comes to the indoor studio. He sees Hanni is waiting for her turn.
"Hanni!" Joochan greets.
"Eh?! Joochan!" Hanni says.
"Have you done?" Joochan asks. Hanni shakes her head.
"Still waiting for my turn" Hanni says.
"Whose turn now?" Joochan asks.
"Aya" Hanni says while pointing at Aya.
"Is that Aya?!" Joochan asks in shock.
"Yes! She looks great, right?!" Hanni asks.
"Yeah! She looks... different.." Joochan says.
"Mr Hong Joochan!" The staff calls for Joochan's name at another set of studio.
"I'll go first" Joochan says. Hanni nods her head.
* * *
Jaehyun has returned early from his outdoor photoshoot because he has to prepare for his indoor photoshoot.
"Have you done your photoshoot?" Jaehyun asks Jibeom who's still in the preparation room.
"Not yet" Jibeom says. Jaehyun nods. He then sits down to the chair next to Jibeom.
"Have you done?" Jibeom asks Jaehyun. Jaehyun nods.
"Yeah.. but they said I have both outdoor and indoor photoshoot.. so I need to get ready for the indoor one now.." Jaehyun says.
"Wow.. good luck" Jibeom says.
"Are you being chosen to have the group photo?" Jaehyun asks Jibeom. Jibeom shakes his head.
"Ah.. I wonder who'll be with me.." Jaehyun says. Jibeom smiles.
"Ah.. it's tiring" Jaehyun says. Jibeom laughs.
"Yeah.." Jibeom says.
"Mr Kim Jibeom, please come to the studio now" one of the staffs says.
"I'm going now" Jibeom says. Jaehyun nods.
* * *
A few minutes later, Jibeom joins to wait for his turn. Everyone takes their turn to do their own photoshoot. Some of the members like Aya, Chaerin and Hanni have to do multiple shots with different outfits so that will make them to feel extra tired since everything need to be done by today. However, they enjoy the process especially when the other members who have done with their photoshoot are willingly to wait and encourage them.
* * *
At 9pm, finally everyone has done with their photoshoot. All Serendipity members gather at the preparation hall as being told by Master. While waiting for the next instructions, they are having some talks.
"Jaehyun looks so different with blond hair!" Aya says.
"Ah I feel so weird" Jaehyun says. Jaehyun bleaches his hair for the first time today because of the photoshoot.
"But seriously, who do you think that looks natural for the photoshoot?" Aya asks.
"Chaerin!" Leia says.
"Yes Chaerin!" Joochan and Donghyun support.
"No!! I'm just.. doing all poses they asked me to do!" Chaerin says.
"You really look like a model!" Donghyun says. Everyone agrees.
"But of course, Aya is totally hot! Today's photoshoot is totally a game changer for Aya!" Chaerin changes the topic.
"Yeah! Aya looks so cute and hot!" Leia says.
"Aya should always wear like that. She looks very mature in it! She suits the style" Jibeom says. Everyone agrees.
"Ah.. do you think it's good on me?" Aya asks. Everyone nods.
"Of course!" Joochan says. Aya smiles widely.
Suddenly, the studio director comes.
"Serendipity, I'm on behalf of my team wanting to thank you all for the good cooperation. You guys are all very talented and amazing throughout today's event. We'll publish some of your pictures on our official website and we'll let Serendipity team to have the photos too. As the gratitude for your help today, we're proud to give you all our exclusive merchs. Please accept it with an open heart..". The studio director gives all Serendipity members a big box that contains a pair of hoodie and tracksuits, a cap, a water bottle from A brand and some makeup and skincare products from LB brand. Everyone gets the same but different colours and shades. Everyone feels happy with it.
* * *
All men participants are going to have some drinks together while all women participants decide to just go home. While having some drinks together, they have some talk.
"Do you ever wonder how Master looks like?" Donghyun initiates a discussion.
"What do you mean?" Jaehyun asks.
"Like yeah.. we never know him? Even though today we don't see him anywhere? He never introduces himself to us with his real name or even his face" Donghyun says.
"Hmm maybe he's there today.. but we never know which one is him" Joochan says.
"That's possible too" Donghyun says.
"I, at first, was thinking that he was just an AI" Jaehyun says.
"AI can't do that yet" Jibeom says.
"So he's a real person?" Joochan asks.
"Technically, yeah" Jibeom says.
"Jibeom, are you okay to return home late? I mean, your daughter is with whom now?" Donghyun asks.
"Oh my daughter is with my in-laws now" Jibeom says.
"Oh, so is it okay to go home late?" Donghyun asks.
"Yeah it is. I'm not going to fetch her anyway. My in-laws want her to stay there for a few days" Jibeom says.
"Ooo.." Donghyun says.

Leia's storytelling
Leia has just arrived home by ride-hailing service she takes. After Leia gets out of the elevator to the floor level she lives in, she sees a woman figure outside of the house, with Sungyoon. Leia walks slowly and hides to hear the conversation of that woman with Sungyoon.
"I told you not to interfere with me again. Why is it hard for you to understand?!" The woman says. Sungyoon has just been silent.
"Take this money and don't come near me again!" The woman says. She throws the money to Sungyoon's face.
"O-omma.. I—don" before Sungyoon completes his word, the woman cuts it.
"Don't call me Omma! Ah you and your father are just the same.. a disaster to me!" The woman says.
"I j-just need y-your h-help.." Sungyoon says.
"Ah I don't wanna hear anything! Be gone!" The woman says. She walks away. Leia pretends like she doesn't hear anything. She also pretends like she has just gotten there. Sungyoon chases the woman but he stops when he sees Leia.
"L-leia.." Sungyoon says.
"Yeah?" Leia asks.
"H-how long have you been here?" Sungyoon asks nervously.
"I just got here.." Leia lies. Sungyoon sighs in relief.
"Let's get in. It's already late" Sungyoon says.
* * *
"Are you okay? You look.. terrible.." Leia says while giving Sungyoon a glass of warm water for him to take his medicine.
"I'm okay" Sungyoon smiles.
"I know you are not.." Leia holds Sungyoon's arm.
"I'm really okay" Sungyoon says.
* * *
While Sungyoon is sleeping, Leia takes Sungyoon's phone. She unlocks Sungyoon's phone since she knows the password and then she browses Sungyoon's call log. Leia finds a phone number that Sungyoon saves as "Omma". She copies the phone number to her phone before she puts back Sungyoon's phone to the right place.
