Fashion industry can be really harsh, and you know that. Cutthroating even. You worked hard, countless hours of honing your looks, your skills, your everything.

You were good, honestly. Succeeding in modeling and a few signed contracts with model agencies - and you're already a somewhat-well-known model in industry, of course for those who see into fashion.

And of course it's never enough. Steeling yourself, you applied for Hwang Agency, to go as a model under this agency. Were you ridiculous? Absolutely. Hwang Agency is known to be one of the most powerful companies but also a vicious one, especially when the woman who ruled it all was also like that. They produced one of the most successful models, having connections with many, many of known companies and designers. Every model would die to at least talk to the editor-in-chief, let alone be under the agency.

And you tried it yourself... Only to fail.

"You thought you can apply for a model here? Oh, sweetheart, don't be silly," a stunning woman in silk blouse and form-fitting skirt says, "Though, I must say, it looks cute. Your naivety suits you." She adds and walks away, the clicking of her heels echo in the hallway. You stand stunned here, still holding your application papers close to your chest.

You still try to process what'd just happen, when you felt someone's hand on your shoulder, "I'm sorry," some young woman says tentatively, "You know how Miss Hwang can be sometimes. You can try again later, I'm sure." You then recognise your fellow model, who's under this company. But when she walks away too, only then you realise you got rejected by Hwang Yeji personally.

Shock slowly turns into quiet anger, and you stride away from the building, still clutching papers in your hand. You'll get in the agency, no matter what, and you'll show Hwang that you at least worth of basic respect.
