Mimi

"Mimi, would you mind helping me, my child?" Adams says and my head snaps towards his direction. He works at a restaurant beside the convenience store where I work, as a delivery truck driver.

"Yes, Adams, how can I help you?" I ask with a smile while giving instructions to the new sales boy whom the owner appointed today. I got a promotion as a cashier and I'm glad that it would pay me something extra. He always cares for me, looks after me when I work, comes to see and checks on me often.

"You know that Lilah is pretty sick and her temperature is not decreasing. My neighbour informed me a while ago that she fell unconscious in the road and I need to go immediately but you know I have been pretty irregular in the restaurant and my salary has been deduct and if I don't get paid this week, it will be pretty tough, you know?” He sighs and I'm already feeling sad for him.

Lilah is his daughter and his wife left him right after the birth of Lilah, after that, he never got involved to anyone and has been raising Lilah on his own. Lilah is eleven years old right now. He's trying his hardest to provide Lilah the fullest and bestest life.

“Would you mind deliver the package to the company?” He asks hesitantly and I smile.

"Don't worry, Adams, I'll deliver the packages on time, besides, my shift haven’t started yet. I came earlier to instruct the sales boy.” I clap his shoulder and he falshes a sweet smile.

“Thank you so much, Mimi, you're such a sweetheart, you owe me a treat.” He says and I chuckle.

"So, which company do I have to deliver all of these food?" I ask while I check the parcels.

"Kyras' " he asserts and I almost choke on my saliva. Seriously? Kyras? I have to head to face Kim Taehyung AKA the jerk again? Again? You got to be kidding me, universe. What do you want? What's cooking inside your brain?

"Are you okay, Mimi?" Adams asks as he clutches my shoulder blade to jerks me. I nod with response. “Which branch?” I ask dumbly and mentally face palm myself for asking the dumbest question. He furrows his brows.

“New York brunch, of course.” He replies and I smile awkwardly. Of course, it has to be the New York branch. The Los Angeles branch wouldn’t order food from any restaurant from New York, right? How dumb you're, Mimi.

"Yeah, got it—” I say as I rub the back of my neck awkwardly.

"Mimi, my child, it's getting late, can you please deliver all of these food? I've to head to the hospital.” He says with a pleading voice and I nod in response.

"Don't worry. I'll be there in time.” I assure him and he pulls me into a gentle hug.

Now, Mimi, who's going to save you from the devil today? Maybe he wouldn’t be there. Maybe he's in another brunch for a meeting. Or, left the country already for a business trip. Nah, he's in the States. If he would go on a trip, there would definitely had some blog or news.

Anyways. The company is huge. You'll go and deliver the parcel and then come back. I put on the t-shirt, fix the cap that contains the restaurant logo and hit the engine of the truck.

I park the food truck aside and look over the giant building, its standing like a monster, this guy holds so much power, I must say, of course, it's Kim freaking Taehyung. The billionaire. The owner of the one of the most luxurious clothing brand which also produce perfumes, expensive leather stuff and many more.
