Jimin's POV

I stared at the money I collected from my boss. I have to find another job that pays straight after my shift if not I won't be able to buy dinner for Sooyoung and me. Actually for Sooyoung. I'm fine even if I didn't eat. I thought and sighed. I grabbed my phone and began searching for a job.

Night... jobs... that... pay right....after... I tapped the search button and articles popped up right after. I slid them down as my eyes wandered between the words and the picture shown till it stopped. I tapped the article and words appeared.

I scanned the number and immediately dialed it. It took a few rings for the person to pick up. "Hello?" A feminine voice answered. "Hello! This is Park Jimin. I want to take up the job." I said firmly. "Oh? For Mystical Café?" She asked and I hummed a response. "Great! Can you come over now so that we can sort the things?" She asked and I nodded, "Yes!" The voice spoke again. "Okay great! I'll see you later." She said and I hummed before the call ended. I sighed and started to rush to café which happened to be near where I was at.

The bell dinged as I pushed the door open. I walk over to the lady who was at the cashier and bowed slightly. "Hello, I called here to pick up the job." I said and the lady nodded, "Ah yes! I was expecting you. You are the caller Park Jimin right?" She asked and I nodded a yes. "Okay, please write all these and you will be done! Can you take up the shift for tonight? It's urgent." She asked and I nodded. "Sure." The lady clasped her hand together with a smile. "Great! It's settled then. Please come here half an hour early so that I can explain everything you need to know." I smiled and nodded.

"Sooyoung-ah," I called. Sooyoung came out of her room and raised a brow. I smiled and pointed to the table filled with food. "Here's dinner. Remember to eat well okay? I'll get going now." I told her with a smile and left my house.

"Take care okay?!" Sooyoung yelled making me smile. At least I know she cares.

I started to run, not caring about the looks I am getting by the walkers.

Few minutes later, I reached the store with the words Mystical Café written brightly in red neon colors. The bell dinged as I pushed the door open. The lady from before smiled as she gestured me over. "Okay so do you know how to make coffees?" She asked and I nodded. "Okay so basically your job is just to make coffees for the customers and 10 minutes before closing the store, you need to sweep and mop the floors. Just basic things and you will be done for the night. Can I trust you with the job?" She said as she looked up at me, examining if I understood. I nodded and smiled, feeling determined. "Yes you can. It's just 3 hours. I'll do well!" The lady smiled and took off her apron. "Now you can take over the job. Oh, and a reminder! We always have a regular customer at this hour so please treat her well. She isn't any trouble so you don't have to worry. Now, bye!" The lady disappeared as soon as the door closed.

I sighed and wore the apron assigned to me. It's okay Jimin. Just 3 hours and you will be home. You will also get your payment which will be enough for your bills and for Sooyoung. I thought to myself before I eyed the door when the bell dinged.

A girl, maybe around Sooyoung's age, strode in. A small backpack around her and some books held. She had blonde hair and I couldn't see her face due to the strands covering her face.

"Ahjusshi, the usual please. Thank you!" Her honey sweet voice, full of tiredness said as she walked to the back of the café.

"Pardon?"

I questioned and the blonde faced me quickly. "Wait you aren't that ahjusshi!" I squinted my eyes to see her face but the dimmed cafe lights said no.

"Um, isn't it obvious?" I said. "Now miss, what do you want again? I'm new so do apologize me." I apologized and looked at her. The blonde girl muttered something to herself before she voiced, "Just latte please. Thank you."

I obeyed what she ordered and quickly made it. I walked towards the table she is sitting at and stared at the now book-full table. Books scattered open and pens and highlighters placed everywhere. I placed the latte on another table and sat opposite her and looked at her face.

Saying she was beautiful will be an understatement to be honest.

It seemed like Aphrodite reincarnated herself as this very girl sitting before me . Her face small with a button nose. A pair of eyes and small pink kissable plump lips.

WAIT- what am I saying?! I have a girlfriend! Snap out of it! I shook my head aggressively and sighed.

"Are you okay ahjusshi?" The sweet voice filled as I looked at her and nodded aggressively. She narrowed her eyes and nodded.

"Anyways, please don't call me ahjusshi. I'm still young." I told her who just nodded while focusing on the books.

There was silence between us before she looked up at me.

"Ahjusshi, do we need water to feel like we're drowning?"
