Chapter 1

Chu Ga Eul dejectedly dragged her foots to her apartment and let out a long sigh when she reached her front door. She key in the code and automatically the door opens for her. She lazily walked to the sofa and slouching herself to the fluffy material. She let out another long sigh.

"Another failure?" Ga Eul heard her best friend Geum Jan Di asking from the kitchen. She immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not wanting to be disturbed. Ga Eul realised that her best friend's eyes boring to her since she took the first step into their sharing-apartment. "What happen this time?" She heard Jan Di's voice becomes lauder, indicating that she already comes near her. Even if she really asleep, she knew that Jan Di will do anything to wake her up.

Ga Eul opened her eyes slowly and saw Jan Di with a worried expression standing in front of her. Her hands were on her hips and she was wearing her pink hello kitty apron. "I've committed 7 out of 10 deadly sins of interviewing that blows up all my hopes to get this job." Ga Eul weakly whined her frustration. Her mind wonders to the start of her day that happens 11 hours earlier and told everything to her best friend.

11 hours earlier…

Ga Eul woke up early in the morning with a great determination to attend another interview to get a job. This is her third interview and although the first two interviews gave her a heart-breaking result, she never gave up and stayed optimistic. She knew as a fresh graduate in accountancy, it was not easy to get a job because she doesn't have any experience and she had to compete with thousands of job seekers who may have better qualification than her.

So this time she wanted to be ready of everything. She already done her research about the company that she's about to go and she already practised answering the usual questions given by the interviewers. She also bought a set of new attires; a knee-length grey-coloured pencil skirt and a long-sleeved maroon dress shirt solely for this purpose.

She went out from her apartment early in the morning while the sky still dark and that made her miss to see the dark clouds covering the dark sky. She happily took the bus but once she sat inside the bus, few drops of rain started to fall. In just a few minutes, the rain falls heavily bringing together a storm with it. Heavy rain early in the morning plus on a busy weekday plus in a big city like Seoul was definitely not a good combination. A combination that produced a very very bad traffic jam and caused all vehicles stayed standstill on the road.

This situation is totally not in Ga Eul's planner. Her bus was stuck at the same place for more than half an hour and she's getting worrier and worrier. According to her plan, she should arrive in that company by now so she had one hour more to prepare for her interview. But now she only got one more hour to reach the building on time. According to her calculation, she can reach the building in just half an hour by bus under normal circumstances but with a sudden heavy rain like this, she doesn't want to take the risk.

So she chose to walk because it seems like walking can actually make her move forward compared to any vehicles on the road at that time. She unfolded her umbrella (luckily she always put an umbrella in her bag) and gracefully exited the bus. She immediately regretted her decision because as soon as she step on the roadside, she was welcome by the rainstorm that make her umbrella uselessly saving only the top of her head from wet. The storm almost blew her petite body but that doesn't stop her determination. She already took the first step and she was determined to move forward.

In the end, after walking and jogging for quite a long distance, after her attires collecting so much water from above (rain) and below (pools of water on the roadside), she finally arrived at the place and looking like a drenched little kitten. When she looked at her watch she realised that she already 5 minutes late. She ran to the designated floor and greeted the receptionist. The receptionist brought her to the meeting room where three interviewers already waiting for her.

Sin number one; Late to the interview - committed

Ga Eul bowing vigorously while chanting "I'm sorry" over and over again to the interviewers in front of her. She was too embarrassed to look at them and only look on the floor while waiting for their order. She hoped that they won't chase her out from the room because seriously, she's like a walking rain that wetting whatever under her. Her drenched attires were absolutely not suitable for this interview.

Sin number two; Inappropriate attire - committed

"Please be seated Miss Chu." She heard one of the interviewers gave the order. She tilted her head to study them and saw three people; a middle age woman sitting at the centre while flanking by two handsome young men (one in his thirties and the youngest one maybe just a few years older than her). All three of them emitted a strong aura of superiority that worth to be a leader. They were clad with expensive tailored made suits that perfectly fit on their bodies. Their serious faces make her tummy full with butterflies and make her sneezed (twice) embarrassingly.

"Do you want to dry yourself first?" The youngest guy asked her worriedly but still maintaining his serious looks.

"No thanks" She shook her head vigorously. "I'm okay." She gave them an awkward smile and politely took a sit on the only chair available in front of them but she immediately stood up before her buttocks touched the fluffy seat. "Ermm can I do the interview while standing? I'm afraid I'll drench the chair too."

"It's okay Miss Chu, we can change the chair after this." The youngest guy gently said to her while giving her an assuring smiles which makes her heart goes gaga. She fake coughs to cover her redden face and tried very hard to slow down her heart beat.

The three of them introducing themselves and Ga Eul tried very hard to focus on their eyes to show her respect but her vision got distracted by beautiful red lips that forming mesmerising dimples on both of his cheeks when he smile.

Sin number three; Limited eye contact - committed

The interviewers asked her about their company and thanks to her thorough research, she manage to answer all their questions smoothly. The questions were typical and she's glad that she already practised earlier. Still, she couldn't tear her eyes away from those beautiful lips.

Sin number four; Little evidence of research and knowledge about the company – not committed

Her obvious staring makes the owner of the lips fidgeting on his seat and makes him wondering if something had stuck on his lips. He automatically wiped his lips and looked at the pad of his hand to see any foreign material but found nothing.

Ga Eul saw the guy wiped his lips and she abruptly realised her insolence behaviour and that lead her to commit more sins. She was too embarrassed to think and all she wanted to do is closing her eyes and teleport herself to her own bedroom and wake up to know that everything happens today was just a dream. But that fictional ability only applied for Hiro Nakamura and not for a mere girl like her so by hook or by crook, she needs to stay until the end. Her minds cannot focus anymore and all the research and practise she'd done vanish from the cortex of her brain.

She suddenly doesn't know how to elaborate her answers to the interviewers. When they asked one question she'll give a very short answer and then stayed silent, hoping they will move on to the next question. Obviously she wanted to get out from the room as soon as she can and in summary, she committed 7 sins out of ten.

Sin number five; Weak content, incomplete and/or short interview question responses - committed

Sin number six; Failure to show appropriate level of enthusiasm – committed

Sin number seven; Appearing desperate for the job – not committed

Sin number eight; Seeming unsure about the job you want – committed

Sin number nine; Badmouthing former bosses, co-workers or employers – not committed

Sin number ten; Failing to ask question – committed

"But why you're coming home this late?" Jan Di asked her best friend in worry. "Where did you go to vent out your frustration?"

"I went for sauna to dry myself then I fell asleep there."

"At least call me first. I'm worry about you."

"I'm sorry Jan Di-ah. I just wanted to forget about what happen today. I hope I won't meet them ever again in the future. It's too embarrassing." She heaved another long sigh. "By the way, I think it will be a guy that managed to snatch the job because no way a lady can stay focus in the presence of those two hot guys."

Suddenly they heard Yoon Doo Joon's (Beast) voice singing the intro of 'Fiction' and Ga Eul's quickly rummaged her bag to search for her phone. It was hard to find her phone in the presence of a folded umbrella, a purse, a compact powder, a bunch of keys, a damped diary and many more accessories. After sometimes her hand successfully reached the singing device but it stop when she's about to punch the receive button. She checked the miscall and can't recognise the caller. Suddenly Yoon Doo Joon singing again and the same number appeared on her screen.

"Hello, this is Chu Ga Eul speaking?" Ga Eul politely answered her call. After a few seconds, she rolled her eyes and covered her mouth to muffle her gasp.

Jan Di who saw the sudden changes of her best friend mouthed "Who is it?" to her best friend.

Ga Eul covered the speaker of her phone and whispered "It's one of the interviewers. The dimple guy." Ga Eul wanted to continue to speak with Jan Di but immediately focus back to her conversation with the person on the phone. "Yes Mr. So, I'm still here."
