The doors of the convenience shop swings open, exposing a tall man. "He seems anxious," Lisa thought to herself. The tall man looks around to see whether there are any other customers than him, and he sighs loosely as he confirms that he is the only customer for now. Lisa on the counter furrows his brow in response to the tall man's bizarre actions. "How may I help you?" Lisa asks. The guy approaches him as he scratches his nape with his hands.
"Ahm. Do you have some ah?" The man stutters and is unable to state the name of the goods he wishes to purchase. Lisa waits patiently for him. "ahm co..." the guy hesitates to tell Lisa what he wants to buy. "aish," the guy says as he walks out of the convenience store, which Lisa finds amusing.
"If he wants a condom, why can't he just say it directly? I'm not a person who makes snap judgments," Lisa says quietly. The man returns to the counter and chooses to tell the cashier quickly what he wants to buy from the convenience shop. "CANIHAVEAKAMASUTRACONDOM." Because of the embarrassment, he is experiencing right now, the man bows his head. Lisa simply chuckles at the boys' antics.
"What size?" Lisa asks with the hint of a tease. The man's eyes widen in horror as he looks at Lisa. "why? Do I look a ghost?" Lisa thought to herself.
The man swallows and moves closer to the counter, taking another glance around. "Small... please," the man says slowly. Lisa turns around to search for the condom that the guy is looking for.
"5,783.35 Korean won," Lisa stated as he tapped the screen in front of her. After paying for the condom, the man takes it right away to the counter and places it in his trousers pocket.
"Yah Manoban!" A raven-haired girl shouted to the busy tall blonde. "Manoban, There's a side job I can give you, my friend's sister is getting married, and they can't find a photographer for their prenuptial and wedding. Are you interested?" Lisa looks at the raven girl for too long. "5000 won per picture thoe."
"All right, I'm in!" Lisa is not only a brilliant photographer, but she can also dance. Lisa had been wanted to be a photographer since she was ten when she took her first snapshot using a stranger's camera, which the stranger generously lent to her. "When, and where?" Lisa asks the smaller girl while stacking new beverages at their convenience refrigerator.
"Tomorrow." The short girl said and helps Lisa to stock some beverages in another's store refrigerator. Lisa looks at her with the infamous bored face. "Why?"Jisoo stops putting the coke she's holding. "Don't worry I'll say to boss that you have errands, and I will just back you up." Lisa smile at the raven-haired girl.
"Thank you," Lisa said and continues the work that she's doing earlier. Jisoo, and Lisa been friends for years, they also go to the same works at the restaurants and the convenience store. Jisoo is older than Lisa, but the blonde didn't acknowledge that the raven-haired girl is older than her because of her height. Jisoo is like Lisa they both like girls, and they both only graduated from high school and same reasons why financial problems. haist money, five letters, one word it's really not everything you need, but for the people like Lisa, and Jisoo money is something very important. Money, aside from meeting our basic needs, helps us reach our life objectives and supports the things we care about the most: family, education, health care, and pleasure. It enables us to get some of life's intangibles, such as freedom or independence, the opportunity to maximize our abilities and talents, the capacity to chart our own path in life, and financial stability. Much good can be done with money, and much avoidable suffering may be prevented or avoided.
"I got you always." The shorter girl said and wink. "by the way monkey, how's Jennie?" Jisoo asks as she misses the kitten so much since after they graduated from high school they never got the chance to see again because of Jisoo's busyness at works. Well can you blame her? she needs to earn to eat chicken.
"She's okay we just had a date earlier," Lisa said to jisoo. "Chu, thank you. I really need that job for Jennie's operation." Lisa said gratefully
Jisoo chuckles. "No worries you're like a sister to me you know?" jisoo smiles and pats the head of the taller girl. "You really loves that kitten, don't you?" Jisoo teases
"So much~" Lisa mumbles. She sighs as she pities her girlfriend's situation. As much as she wanted to do the operations to Jennie's eyes, they can't, she still has a lot of money to save for the operations. Lisa loves Jennie so much that she will do anything for her lover's needs.
The two continue to work. Several groups of call centers arrive at the store, The night is quite hard for both girls since they just don't receive what the customers order, but they also do other things such as wiping the floor every time a client spills something, taking out the garbage, refilling drinks and smoothies, and stocking. It's nearly 2 a.m. when their job finishes. Lisa and Jisoo are so weary that their legs begin to wiggle. The two fight the exhaustion of their bodies as they still need to walk to their house. They always don't ride buses and chooses to walk to save more money.
Lisa has already arrived at her Auntie's house, but instead of going directly to the door, she decides to go to her room's tiny window. For her, it's better to go to her small window than to get yelled at and slapped by her auntie. Lisa groans as she feels her tummy being squeezed; despite her stick body size, the window is still too tiny for her to get through. "Ah... that's difficult," Lisa remarked, rubbing her tummy. Lisa was preparing to make her bed on the floor so she could sleep right away considering tomorrow would be much more a tiring day.
"Good night, Nini."
