Two days. It's been two days since Jieun quit or you can say got terminated from her previous job. Her parents always used to tell her that how as she grow up she had to handle more responsibility and she just shurg it off saying she can do it anyway. But sometimes things didn't roll the way you've decided so here she
is— for her new job interview.

“ May I come in?” Jieun asked knocking on the door.

“ Yes Please,” a deep unfamiliar voice  respond as she walked inside the room and took a seat in front of the person.

“ So why are you interested in working at this restaurant? ” the person spoke looking straight at her.

“ I’m excited about this job opportunity, as it would allow me to build skills like customer service and communication ” she confidently claimed wearing a descent smile.

“ mhm! Okay—” the person squints his eyes at her observing her head to toe, “How do you test the quality of your ingredients? ”

“ Commonly by tested properties of food products include the color, viscosity, weight, thickness, granulation size and texture ” Jieun again answer confidently though the girl was feeling uncomfortable under the man's gaze.

“ That's impressive you'll get this job
but—” he stands up from his chair and walked towards Jieun, “ you have to do a favor to me”

Jieun furrowed her eyebrows, “ what favor? ”

The person started to go towards her. A small smirk appears on his face. He let his hand on her shoulder as he leaned down to face Jieun, “ You know my restaurant is one of best in Seoul? ” the man looked at Jieun.

“ Y-yeah I know ” she stuttered, she was so uncomfortable at this moment, the girl remove the guy's hand from her shoulder as she said, “ you are making me uncomfortable ”

“ Oops! I apologize ” he went back to his seat, “ back to the where I was talking, you have to do me a favor if you this job”

“ What type of favor? What do you mean? ” she question frowning.

“ You are too innocent, aren't you? I like it ” the man chuckled that makes Jieun more confused, “ I'm asking for sexual favor honey ” the man again laughed not being ashamed of what he's saying.

“ Excuse me! Are you going nuts or something ” the female get up from her seat as she was in urge to punch the guy.

“ Trust me I'll make you feel special, you won't regret it ” the older man suddenly grab her wrist harshly.

“ Leave me, you bastard ” with that a fistful punch landed on his face causing him to fall on the ground with a painful thud, “ I don't want your fucking job ” with that Jieun rushed towards the exit door.

The older guy watch the figure of the girl fading away, “ YOU HAVE TO PAY BITCH ”

Jieun heard the man yelling, she stopped in her spot and turn towards the man, “My middle finger salute your attitude ”

Time Skip

It's been for about thirty minutes since she left the office and now she was at the park, sitting on a bench all alone. Even though she did pretend that she wasn't afraid back in there but in reality she was scared and humiliated, never did she ever want this kind of situation in her life again. It was so disgusting of the man.

She snapped back from her thoughts when suddenly her phone started ringing, she lifts her phone to see the caller ID, it was her mom. She cursed under his breath cause she was so tired to deal with another argument with her mom.

“ hey mom ” she let out sigh.

“ Seems like you are too busy to answer my calls ” Her mother asked making Jieun sigh again.

“ Look it's not like that, I was- ” she didn't get to finish her sentence as she cut off by her mother.

“ Don't forget that I'm still your mother” the girl tried to clam herself down.

“ I was just tired that's why I couldn't answer your calls ” Jieun defended, trying to calm down her mother.

“ Tired? Of finding a new job? I heard you got fired from your previous job ” Sound of victory can be heard in her voice but Jieun was shocked.

“ How do you— You are stalking me?” she fired at her mom not believe that her own mom is stalking her.

“ why would you think that? anyway I call you to suggest- ” this time Jieun interpreted her mom.

“ No! I don't need your suggestions anymore you have enough control me, and if you called just to make me feel defeated then congrats you succeed ” Jieun voice cracked as she tried her best not to cry, She immediately hung up the call trying to fight back her tears but initially failed.

She was tired, exhausted, she was done. Done of all of the things happening in her life. Why always her? The thought was kept bugging him.

Soon the cloud turns dark, the wind started to blow faster, the roar of the thunder can be heard indicating it's going to rain.

Jieun didn't move an inch from the bench, she didn't wanted to. She closed her eyes and let the rain kiss her, showers her spirit, waters her soul.

Few people in the park started to run in search for a shelter but she was still there sitting alone letting the rain beat upon her head with silver liquid drops.

Until she realised that the delicate droplets were no longer touching her skin. She opens her eyes to see if the rain stop but to her surprise she got startled by a deep voice.

“ it seems you like to get soaked in rain ”
