But things got out of hand when she was asked to deliver some documents to Most Magazine’s creative team and she was mistaken for the new intern. Before she can protest, she was asked to do editing work. She did the job so well that they requested her help. She was then promptly transferred to that department.
She would have been okay about it but then she found out who the editor is – Sung Joon!
