Could Love be Hard as Math?

Chapter 50

Mina POV

I never been this bored in entire my life. Before, I was perfectly perfect with my life. I studying, doing chores, eating, sleeping or sitting around with Cuddle. But now, its seem empty, lost and bored. I think I'm getting used by Chayeoung dragged me along with him. I'm used by been around him. I sigh. Me and my friend still okay but I didn't spend time much with them. Sometimes I will join them in lunch but I more comfortable been at my usual spot. Well, there's no one could disturb my sleeping beauty sleep. After the encounter at the hospital, Chaeyoung still didn't talk much to me. But, its seem improved as he now talk to me even not much as before. At least, he talk to me right?

Nayeon, Momo and I now become more closer. They sometimes came check on me on lunch at my usual spot even sometimes they sit there. I never thought two hottest cheer leader will be friend with me. Should I thanks to their ex asshole boyfriend? Nayeon tried to convince me to join the cheerleading team as I once help them with their choreography. I told them that I once ballets and my sister is a dance instructor. But, I decline their offer as I don't have the confidents and I'm definitely not wearing the cheer outfit. Instead, I join the cooking club. People in the club seems nice. I spent my Wednesday afternoon peeling bunch of potatoes. Thurday, I got to dice carrots and onions. Well, since I was a newbie no one would trusted me to work the shove. So, I just mashed the potatoes.

Next on my agenda is to get a job which is Nayeon and Momo also convinced me to do so. They wants to hang out with me more after school. So the urged me to get a job at the mall where they works in a beauty shop. But being me, I do know a few single thing of makeup or face scrubs but mostly I don't. So, I opted for a job opening at the food court ice cream shop instead. I'm even surprised they called me in for an interview. I guess having a good grades, perfect attendance and tutoring was enough to interest them.

"Hi, I'm here for a job interview with Ms. Kim Mi kyung." I shyly asked the woman at the register.

"Oh, you must be Mina. Come on. Follow me." She said and lead me to the room.

"Have a sit." She invites me in the most uninviting way, pointing me to tiny chair in her cramped room.

"I will be brief. Can you do math?" She asked me.

"Yes." I simply replied a little scared and intimated by the feisty old lady. 

"Okay, good. Because I'm tired of having people give back wiring amounts of change. You better not do that." She warns me before even giving me the job. I just smile awkwardly.

"I won't." I assure her, trying sound confident but it comes out pretty weak.

"You have perfect attendance. So, you never been out sick or late?" She asked.

"I have never been late. Even I sick, I still come to school." I explain.

"Who do you tutor?" She asked again.

"A classmate." I replied.

"Subject?" She asked didn't give me time to think.

"Math." I replied.

"Hmm, I guess you're smart enough to count money then." She said and pauses look at me.

"You got the job." She said.

"Really?" I accidentally let slip.

"You don't want it?" She asked confused by my response.

"Hmm, to be honest I thought I was under qualified." I honestly said.

"Well, you can count. You do math. You look innocence. All I care about is you can count money and scoop ice cream. I made a mistake of hiring a bunch of those kids who just kiss my ass and can't make a swirl on the cone." She said.
