There will be 3 minutes left before 6 pm and it feels like it’s getting longer because I was anticipating it.

It’s Thursday. I’m sitting on my chair with my eyes focused on the digital clock in front of me. 

1 minute... I track to myself. 

It will be my third week at the DCTOM company and days have passed so fast, I didn't even feel it. Yeah, perhaps it’s because I seem to enjoy this and everyone was nice—“6 pm.” 

Desktop off. slings handbag—I stood up from my chair like an energized bunny. 

“We’re going to Seraphim, you should come, Seyeong.” my excitement then holds up, I look at Shaun Sunbaenim who entered the recording room. Gosh, I hope he didn’t notice me for being too excited about leaving. 

“Oh?” Shaun looks at me with his bland expression. “Looks like you're ready to go home huh. I see,” he stated. 

Crap. 

I gulped guiltily. 

Tss. but it wasn’t like that for real. Ugh. Why does it have to be now? Why in all between those moments when I was working my butt off, this is the one he caught? WHY does it have to be this scenario that I look like an employee who couldn't wait for any second to leave this room, to damn go home? Why? WHY? …. I’m a good employee though. 

Embarrassed, I pinned my hair on my ears. “Uhm, it’s not like that, Sunbae.” I said in a thin voice. 

“It’s just, it’s just,” I kind of started to feel bad but then Shaun sunbaenim broke into a laugh, and he smiled at me like he always does. 

Oh. Shaun sunbaenim and his pranks. 

I laughed while releasing a relief sigh too. Well ever since I got to be part of his team, there wasn’t a day I wouldn’t be a fool from this Ajusshi. And yes, Ajusshi. He’s quite old you see. But who cares? he’s still killing it though.

He looks younger than his age and yet he’s still hot-Oh gosh forgive me. Anyways, Shaun sunbaenim is quite a prankster. There was one time during our meeting with the other recording producer. I made a typographical error from the lyrics he ordered me to finish. and damn he overacted so much I thought it will be the end of my career. It’s even my first week in the company, so of course, I didn't expect this humorous side from him. I mean if you compared him to the past Sunbae I’d worked with. He’s the opposite of Jihoon’s taciturn side. I guess it was because we’re not that close as before so I mistook this old man as my first impression of him.

Nevertheless, that cold man to me is gone now…. I mean, that cold Sunbaenim is now my warm boyfriend. Ugh. alright, this is too cheesy, I’m gonna stop. 

“I’m just kidding Seyeong! It’s been weeks, don’t you still get used to me?” Shaun added with a chuckle. 

I just scratch the back of my head, thinking, “Thank goodness this Ajusshi is the person I admire and respect a lot.” Yes. I’m Shaun’s fan. Big fan to be exact. (Remember that I told you I find my way back home~ )

I chuckled. “Don’t worry, Sunbae. I’ll get used to it right away.” I said, closing my fist in a determination which Shaun sunbae and I laughed. 

“So are you going with us? I’m going to be the DJ tonight.” 

“Ooh. I want to, but..” I bite my lower lip. To be honest, I’ve been really wanting to join them too! But today is… I sighed. 

Shaun smiled at me. 

“No worries! You should enjoy dating while you’re young, but promise me you'll come to my next gig, okay?” he grins. 

I smiled and gave him an approving nod. “Of course, Sunbae!” Wait a minute. I shook my head to him like the animals on Madagascar. lemur? 

“Enjoy dating??” My cheeks get warm quickly, and my eyes bulge from shock too. “Where did that come from?” I added.

Shaun only gave me a smirking impression, “Enjoooy.” he teases, leaving me alone in the recording studio.
