Episode 1: Hometown •
The ride was tiring, making Y/N wants to lay down all day and rest for a while. All her things was still not in place and the hotel she was living is still messy.
She removed her shoes and placed her belongings on the sofa, making herself at home on the bed, still not changing, Geez Y/N, take a bath first! Her first day in the United States consisted of her just being herself, laying down and cooking noodles for breakfast.
On her second day in the United States, Y/N packs her belongings and departs from the hotel to visit her late mother and her friend Charlie. Her phone rang as she was putting on her jacket. She hadn't expected it, and no one would call her because she rarely speaks to people.
When she picked up her phone and saw an unknown number, Y/N was at a loss for what to do. Should she answer it, say no, or simply ignore the call? But, of course, we are aware of Y/N! She would literally do anything to make her life a shambles, so she accepted the call without hesitation.
"Hello?" said Y/N first. A man spoke back, causing her to flinch and move her one inch away from her ear. As the guy speaks to her, she realizes it's a job offer; the guy is offering Y/N a job at "Sister Location." Y/N is unfamiliar with the job, but because she desperately needs a job to meet her needs, she accepts it and tells the guy she will go to the restaurant after she completes some other tasks.
"That was a nice timing, I really need money right now," she said as she returned her phone to her bag and exited the hotel.

She is now standing in front of her mother's grave, holding a bouquet of white flowers as an offering. She sat down and began speaking to her mother.
"How are you mama? I really regret living in the Philippines without you *sigh* I shouldn't have left that time...It...was my fault isn't it? You would probably slap my head off if you were here Haha!" She said, trying not to cry.
She then visited Charlie's grave. Charlie's death comes as a complete surprise to her. It had been... unexpected. Y/N has no idea what caused her untimely death; Charlie's father and Mama haven't told her, and she has no idea what's going on.
Y/N was desperate to find out what was going on, and she immediately regretted knowing who Afton was. It had been... It's terrifying, and she's terrified.
Y/N mother knew everything, and she doesn't want her daughter to go through it, so she sends her as far away from the man responsible for the slaughter as possible.
Y/N took a seat and offered Charlie her favorite food. A man stood behind her, which Y/N didn't notice at first and continued to speak to Charlie, until the man coughed, causing Y/N to flinch.
"Holy Shi- Oh!" Y/N covers her mouth, unable to say anything. When she looked up, she noticed Charlie's father, Henry Emily. She blinked and locked her gaze on the man for a moment. It was inconvenient.
"Is that you, Mr. Emily?" Y/N inquired. The man nodded, a flower in his hand.
"Y/N? You're an adult now...I last saw you, You were just a kid back then, like my daughter..." He said with a smile, and Y/N could see in the Man's eyes how much he misses his daughter.
"Yeah, I've grown up; it's just...sad I didn't grow up with Charlie," Y/N sighed. "Well, I guess I'll have to leave now, Mr. Emily!"
"Nice to see you, too, Y/N," he said, waving at Y/N, who was exiting the cementery.
"Wait, that was awkward..."
It was now 6:00 p.m., and Y/N was walking down a dark street, thinking, "Why am I supposed to do this again?" and completely forgetting about the interview.
"Aha! The work!" Y/N exclaimed, slamming his head against her bag. "What did my parents do to make me dumb and forgery?" She went to the location where the interview was supposed to take place. It was dark, and it gave her creepy vibes.
The interview started, and Y/N immediately got hired.
"Oh My! I- Thank you? That was fast"
"Yeah? Your work will start later at 12 pm, Goodluck! Oh! Almost forgot here's your uniform"
Y/N was left dumbfounded. "I will start my work what? Tangina lang?" She said. She doesn't have choice to just wear the assigned uniform.
It was 11:55 a.m., and she had entered through the back door. When I opened it, the insides were dark, and there was an elevator as well. It took her about a minute to decide whether she would go or not, "Bat ako napunta dito?"
"What is your name?"
"HOLY TAE-" She came to a halt when the man covered her mouth. Y/N noticed a man her age wearing the same uniform as her. He has long, unkempt hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin.
"I'm sorry did I suprised you?" He said.
"Hmm?" Y/N said, The Man immediately took his hands out off Y/N's mouth. "Hi?" Y/N said, still in shocked.
"Hello? I'm very sorry for covering your mouth, I didn't meant to do that" The man said scratching his nape.
"It's okay...Who are you? Are you a night guard too?"
"Yes..I am.. What's your name?"
"My name? Uhm...Mike...Mike Schmidt"
"Cool name! Y/N L/N. Nice meeting you!~" Y/N offered her hand for a handshake, Mike just stared at it and look at his wristwatch.
"It's 11:57..." He lastly said as he grab the hand Y/N offered for a handshake and dragging Y/N in the elevator with him.
"You're new here right? Don't worry I will teach you everything that you need to know" Mike said standing besides you, waiting the elevator to stop.
"That's good," Y/N say with a smile and a thumbs up.
They are waiting for the elevator to stop. The elevator shakes violently, causing the two to lose their balance. "What's going on!" Y/N exclaims, looking for something to grab. "Grab unto me!" Mike exclaims, offering his left hand to Y/N. She grabs it right away, but the shaking stops for a moment.
"Oh..it stopped. Haha..haha," Y/N said. Mike trying not to laugh as he noticed the woman's hair was a mess.
"Hey stop laughi- Ow!"
Y/N comes to a halt as the elevator begins to shake again. Y/N loses her balance and tumbles to the ground, and she inadvertently pulls Mike to her, causing the two to stumble on the ground. Y/N closed her eyes, expecting her head to hit the ground, but it didn't. A large hand keeps her head from touching the ground. She opened her eyes to see Mike on top of her, closing his eyes and holding Y/N with his right hand.
Because their faces are so close, she can feel the man's heavy breathing. Mike's eyes slowly opened as he noticed the woman staring at him. They exchanged glances for a moment.
"Am I...in heaven?" Y/N asked quietly. Mike blinked, perplexed. "How ironic of you to say that."
"You're really handsome when you're close," Y/n said flatly to her! Of course, the man on top of her was blushing and perplexed.
"Th-Thank you, You're beauti-"
"Welcome to the first day of your exciting new career! Whether you were approached at a job fair, read our ad at Screws, Bolts, and Hairpins, or if this is the result of a dare, we welcome you. I will be your personal guide to help you get started. I’m a model 5 of the Handyman’s Robotics and Unit-Repair System, but you can call me Hand-Unit. Your new career promises challenge, intrigue and endless janitorial opportunities."
The two flinched at the sudden speech, realizing that it was the handunit who would instruct them. The two immediately get to their feet and wipe their uniforms. Mike and Y/N both bowed to each other as an apology.
"Please enter your name as seen above the keypad. This cannot be changed later so please be careful" The handunit added.
A yellow tablet with cartoon eyes on top, a handle on the bottom, a plastic vent on the left, and a keypad on the screen where they were supposed to write their names appears.
The two stare at each other, communicating with their eyes about who will put their name first. Y/N sighed and frowned, insisting that Mike go first.
The Man can't say no and simply grabs the keypad and enters his name. The keypad soon began to glitch, and the letters became glitchy.
"Ugh, Mike..Schi..m..i...d, don't move, and T," Mike said as he struggled to type his name into the keypad.
"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type. And I will autocorrect it for you. One moment.... Welcome...Eggs Benedict!"
"Eggs Benedict! That was far from my name!?"
Y/N bites her lower lip, trying not to laugh at the poor man next to her. Mike rolled his eyes as he noticed Y/N covering her mouth and looked around.
"You can laugh..-"
"PUWAHAHHAA! OMG I'M SORRY BUT- HAHAHA E- HAHA EGGS HAHA BENE-DICT HAHAHA NYETA...Ahh~ that was a good laugh.." Y/N burst into laughter and catches her breath after. "I'm very sorry...haha.." She added.
"It's okay, I guess it's kinda funny" Mike grins to himself "It's now your turn to put your name" he added.
"Okay... Eggs Benedict"
"STOP"
"Please enter your name as seen above the keypad. This cannot be changed later so please be careful"
Y/N took the yellow pad and began typing her name. It was extremely difficult, and she wishes she didn't have a more unusual name than Eggs Benedict. The words became jumbled all over the place.
"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type. And I will autocorrect it for you. One moment.... Welcome...Fried Ice cream!" Y/N smiled faded as she heard the name she got. She looked at Mike if he was laughing...And yes..He was.
"You can laugh," Y/N said mockingly. Mike laughs at the girl...but gently so as not to offend the woman in front of him. Y/N thinks it's cute of him, and it makes her heart skip a beat.
'Omeged self, tumahimik ka ano toh hah? nandito tayo para sa work hindi sa co worker!'
(Oh My God Self, Shut up. We are here for work not for the co worker!)
Y/N turned to Mike, "You done?"
"Haha! Ha? Yes Hahaha" Mike covered his face and wipes the tears in his face.
"Damn pretty boy, Seems like you've been having fun around me? Am I your Happy pill?" Y/N teases as she gently bumps her elbow against Mike's chest
I guess the "pretty boy" didn't get the corny pick up line Y/N said.
"Ugh.. Nevermind" Y/N sighed.
"I don't understand you but thanks for calling me pretty boy,... I think?"
"Mhm! No Problemo!"
"You can now open the Elevator using that bright, red and obvious button. Let's get to work!"
"Hoho, let's go!" Y/N exclaimed, waving her right hand up and down as if she were on a train.
Behind the doors of the elevator was a dark place with one vent below and a warning sign telling people not to go inside.
Y/N eyes widen as she notices the location. What she sees gives her the creeps. Mike, on the other hand, maintained his poker face.
"Shall we go, Fried pfft..Ice cream?"
"Okay...Itlog Benedict"
"Itlo- what?"
