Chapter 3 (1/1)

“What do you mean you’re not going?” “It means I’m not going.” Taeyeon split the messy paper on her desk. “Where the heck did I put my curriculum vitae?” “We can’t pass the food, Taeyeon. This is a huge event. Everyone is going to be there. You’re the chief of resident.” “Why are you so eager to attend a party where people just sucking other’s ass to get whatever they want?” “So we don’t suck anyone’s ass. Just be there, eat the food, have a good time and go home. How’s that sound?” “I have board exam in six months.
