She woke up the next morning, and checked her phone finally, and saw the messages sent by Jongin.
< Seohyun-ah, if you see a 'closed' sign at our gym later, don't worry. Just come on in. And bring the vibrators with you too. >
Puzzled, she nevertheless replied with a < Okay Oppa. >

She made herself breakfast and then took the red pill again. She spent the morning on her studies and practising her piano and she tried her song lyric writing again. Mrs Lee came in as usual and Seohyun chatted with her as she worked, while Mrs Lee did her laundry and cleaned her apartment.
While Seohyun is perfectly capable of doing all the housework and chores, her busy schedule means she hardly has any time or energy to do anything like that, especially during promotion periods or concert tours. SNSD members often leave very early for their schedules and come back late at night all exhausted. So SM hires ahjummas like Mrs Lee to take care of the Idols who live alone, doing the basic household cleaning and stocking their place with food and necessities like toilet paper etc. They also do other things like feeding the Idol's pets and watering the plants and collecting mail when the Idols are busy or out of the country for long periods of time, especially true for superstars like SNSD.
The ahjummas are usually women in their 40s or 50s who can be trusted and are experts at household chores. Most of them are housewives looking for some additional income, and Mrs Lee has worked for SNSD for years. She was the one who took care of them when they all stayed in the dorm, and after several members moved out, she continued to take care of the remaining members like Taeyeon, Sunny and Tiffany who stayed in the dorm and also members like Seohyun and Hyoyeon and Yuri, who stay alone in their own apartments. So she was trusted and liked by all the SNSD members.
Before she know it, noon had passed and she ate the lunch that Mrs Lee made for her before she left. After lunch she showered and just as she was preparing to go to the gym, she suddenly remembered, she promised Joon Oppa to do another photo-shoot for Jongin! Jongin was jealous that she did those awesome photos for Joon, and Joon wanted her to do another one for his brother!
But the other girls visiting last evening made her totally forgot, not to mention she didn't have any time to do it last night. So now she is troubled. Seohyun has always kept her word, being a very honest and sincere girl. “I promised Joon Oppa, how can I forget? Aish!”
So she desperately racked her brains to think of a solution. With no time left to do another photo-shoot, she finally decided she would have to find another way to make it up to Jongin. Her manager is probably waiting for her downstairs already.
“How about this....? It might satisfy Jongin Oppa a bit, until I can find time to do a proper shoot for him...”
Swallowing another of the blue pill, she packed the vibrators in a pouch, changed and went down to meet her manager.
She was now very eager to visit the gym. She did a little fist pump to cheer herself. “This will be another fun day!”

It will be fun indeed, a kind of fun she never imagined.
