Need to pay 1months worth National pension premium (国民年金保険料 ) when not working for either company

I quitted my job at some month on 20th. And start working/employeed on the 1st date of the next month.
The problem is after some months, the HR told me that I need to pay 1 month worth of National pension premium for the 10 days I was not working for either company.
Because my pension premium that always deducted from the salary, only cover the day you work and till you leave the company.
I was mad when they told me this because they didn’t say anything about this kind of things when we finalizing the contract,.
They told me to just pay it or my pension will become weird(okashii).
Anyone have similar experiences? What will happen if I don’t pay it? It’s quite expensive after all

Lesson of the story: Be sure to not leave any days when you are not working for either company when transitioning, or ask the new employeer what to do, not just for this but anything related to paperworks that you can think of before signing the contract.
