"Every man has his secret sorrows that the world knows not. And often time we call a man cold when he is only sad."
The perfect man.
Made rough through time.
He lies, yet he is the honorable one.
He kills, yet he is the most righteous.
He is gentle...

"Unnie, did something happen?" asked Eun byul.
Arya smiled at her while cleaning up the counter. Eun byul had already cleaned the vacant tables and Han jun was starting to arrange the counter.
She sped up the work a little. The coffee was brewing. Han jun needed to start working on his Espresso and Mocca ASAP. He is quite a good barista.
"Back to earth, unnie," Eun byul nudged her a little, "you seem distracted."
"Am I?" Arya smiled off the remark and concentrated on the piece of wipe in her hand. The counter was already shining.
"She is right." Han jun shrugged, "Something is off."
"You two. Back to work." Arya scolded them a little, "just because the rush hour has ended doesn't mean we will have fewer customers now."
"We are not done, remember." Eun byul scrunched her nose and went back to her works.
Arya sighed a little. Ever since her fight with Jin that day, she was not feeling the best if she is honest with herself. It wasn't even a fight, to begin with. She was the one who got mad. And Jin? Well, he was just...Jin.
She managed to find a motel to stay put in for a few days before she could find a place to stay. She was almost penniless. But thanks to Jin again, she had some money left with her though she returned the card. She was solely depending on those.
"I have to return the money," She thought and instantly started to feel irritated. Why the hell she had to borrow from him? Returning the money means she has to see him again. And that's the last thing she wants right now. "Damn, girl! Can you be any dumber?"
Her hands involuntarily hit the counter making Han jun almost jump with surprise, "Noona! You scared me!"
"Oh, sorry." Arya instantly apologized and looked at Eun byul, "can you cover for me for a few minutes?"
"No problem." Eun byul was a little confused. Arya was down the whole time. Not just today, it has been up for a few days already. What happened to the energy-boosting girl with the brightest smile and mischievous acts?
Throwing the wipe into the trash can, Arya loosened the apron and went into the staff room, and sat down.
Why she had to be this mad? Well, why was Jin silent in the first place? What angered her most was getting up today and almost regretting her decision to leave. Why the hell she would regret it?
It was an empty prison anyway. Too clean house, too stern rules. No speaking during dining, no loud noise, no cursing, sitting properly, no smoldering, no scoffing, no this, no that- horrible.
Why would every time she went out, she had to come back to a clean room without a speck of dust or no messy clothing on the floor?
Oh, the rules were even stricter for the owner himself- Arya rolled her eyes in disgust, No softness, No talk, No smile- yes no smile! Who the hell is he who doesn't smile? Not once?
