chapter ten
----------
I hurried to stuff my books into my bag. I tossed my bag onto my back and pushed my chair in.
"You alright Yuri?" I heard a familiar voice call out. I turned around to see Bangchan who had somehow entered our class. What is up with Hyunjin and his friends being everywhere but their own classroom?
"Why wouldn't I be alright?" I questioned him while fixing my skirt. "I mean I heard what happened in P.E" I froze in place. Word gets around fast here huh...
"It was nothing serious" I deadpanned trying to hide the fact I was embarrassed. "I mean falling face first into someone's-" "I have somewhere to be right now" I cut him off. "Really? Where to? We can walk you there"
We? Who's we?
Maybe my mind was read because as I walked out of the classroom I was greeted with 7 familiar faces. They all had the same grin pasted on them.
"Hey Yurazon!" Minho spat.
I was getting tired of seeing that face.
"I'm in a rush, I don't have the time to do a fan meeting right now" I walked past them.
They all shared a few looks before catching up to me. This is just Hyunjin x8, something I don't need.
"Where are you off to?" the boy who I'm pretty sure was named Seungmin, asked. Why did every moment of my life need to be questioned by them? Was personal space not an option with them?
I ignored the question and kept my eyes ahead of me. I was heading to my part-time job, for some reason I was called in earlier than usual so I had no time for chit-chat.
"Hey Hyunjin your girlfriend isn't very nice" Seungmin scoffed. girlfriend?! Never in a million years.
I returned his ignorant comment with a deep glare. He probably got the idea because he suddenly stopped smiling.
"She's quite the snappy one isn't she?" Hyunjin smirked while throwing his arm over me. I clenched my fist but before I could even swing at him he quickly removed his arm. "Why the sudden switch up?" he fake pouted. "You were all over me earlier" that pout was quickly replaced with a smirk.
"Yuri, you're still here?" I heard a female voice question
Ryujin my savior, Ryujin my guardian angel. "Yeah, I'm actually on my way out! Let's walk together" I took this chance to get away from the others.
When the boys finally gave up and decided to let me be I quickly stormed out of the building leaving Ryujin there confused. If I'm late because of those idiots Jisung won't be the only one without children.

When I had arrived at the cafe I apologized in advance for being late. My boss didn't seem to be bothered by it, but I still felt a bit guilty.
I placed my bag down in the employee's room and fixed my uniform. Before I walked out of the door I made sure I had on a warm smile, didn't want to scare the customers away.
For a part-time job, I was getting paid well, sometimes my boss would even give me a raise if I worked hard enough. Today I didn't have too much to do, just greet people and take orders.
I walked up to a couple who had taken their seat by the window. I approached them with a smile on my face and waited for them to give me their order. "Two carrot cakes and an americano! Anything else" I kindly asked them. They shook their heads as a response.
A few hours passed by and it was starting to get dark outside. I struggled to keep a smile on my face while taking a few more orders. It was currently 8:03 pm, I knew because I had checked my phone. I had been working for almost 4 hours already. I was honestly pretty worn out even if this isn't the longest I've worked.
"Feel free to head home" I heard my boss tell me. With those words, I felt a wave of relief rush past me. I let out a sigh and thanked him. I let my hair free from its ponytail and grabbed my bag.
The walk back home was quite calm and relaxing I'd say. The wind wasn't too strong, it brushed lightly against my face cooling me down. I heaved my way up the front porch and unlocked the door.
No one was there. Like usual.
I closed the door behind me and plopped onto the couch just to catch my breath.
----------
I didn't realize how tired I was until I woke up from my mini nap on the couch. If falling asleep at random places was a sport I'd have a handful of gold medals.
I groaned as I lifted my head from the not so comfortable couch and fought to keep my balance as I stood. I stumbled up the stairs and pried open the door to my room. I was exhausted, I couldn't even finish my homework so I gave in and fell asleep on my bed.
