Oh joy. Another day at work. 10am I rolled out of bed and went for a shower. Before I went into the bathroom I popped my head into the sitting room to say good morning to my parents.

My mother surprisingly had a smile on her face while talking to my father.

"Morning!" I smiled at them both. It was a rare sighting while they're both in the same room and smiling?

"Sweetie, sit down." My father said and I took a seat on the empty sofa. "We have some news." He looked relieved?

Before I could even get a word in, my mother piped up.

"Nari, I've been offered a promotion at work and I have to relocate. You have a choice. You can either stay here with Appa or come with me to Seoul. It's up to you." She smiled warmly at me. Well it's not a hard choice.

"Appa. I want to stay here." He smiled at me proudly and my mother looked like she was about to burst.

"That's fine. I'll send money over every month for bills and shopping. I'm assuming you are saving your money for when you leave?" She asked. I nodded and looked down. They knew I wanted to move out and they're never happy when we talk about it.

I stood up and walked out the sitting room and straight into the bathroom. I'm somewhat happy? That my mother is leaving. Wow am I a horrible daughter? Maybe a little bit but we don't get along great and she always seems miserable when she's here so she may as well be happy elsewhere right?

I stepped into the shower and stuck my music on, time to get ready for the day.

The few hours I have before I leave for work are always the same, I have dinner and then tidy a little. Then I'll nip to the store if anyone need anything.

As I was tidying my room, my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered without looking who had rang.

"Nari! I'm on my way over because I'm taking you for coffee before work. No complaining." Before I could even respond to Hobi, he had hung up and I stared at the screen in confusion. What? I shook my head and continued to tidy. I heard the timer ding which meant dinner was ready for my father. Walking to the kitchen, I sang along to my playlist while doing little twirls here and there. I laughed at myself and took the rice and chicken out.

"Appa! Here's your dinner. Hoseok is on his way over and we're gonna get coffee before work so I'll be gone a little longer today." I smiled at him as I strode into the sitting room of our small apartment and placed his dinner on the table. My father smiled at me and placed his hand on my arm, a comforting action which I've always been fond of.

"Thank you pumpkin, enjoy work and don't work too hard." I hugged him goodbye and went outside to wait for Hobi. I sat on the step and once again my mind wandered to the purple haired strange who I was so infatuated with. I wonder if I'll see him at work today? I hope I do.

Agh stop Nari. He was probably just a figment of your imagination.

"Let's go blondie!" My head shot up to find Hobi popping his head over the top of my gate.

"Coming you ass." I smiled proudly at him as he tutted at me for swearing. "Where are we going?"

"For coffee, let's go for the bus. We'll get one in town." I smiled and looped my arm through his.

"Let's go then."

A few hours later and we were sat in a cute little coffee shop right opposite work. I sighed and looked at my coffee.
