It has been two weeks that Hye-jin did not reach out to Yong-sun. Whatever that happen to her, Yong-sun could only imagine the worst.


Yong-sun transferred some of the files in her pen-drive and put in her handbag. She straightened her back and scanned everyone working in the office. Most of them were sleep deprived and look dead with the dark eye-bags. She squinted over to Whee-in's desk and saw her staring at her PC screen with such a stern look and her fingers not letting the keyboard breath. Whee-in was in charge of tracking Hye-jin.


Yong-sun clapped to get her sub-ordinates attention. "How many of you want coffee?"


Everyone raised their hands in a flash. Yong-sun smirked and left the office with her purse.


She stood in line in the Monday café where they usually get their coffee. There were five people in front of her waiting for their turn. The TV in the café switched from a show to the morning news. The news updated on a case against a company CEO where the accused is released due to lack of evidence. The rich will be become more powerful and the poor will be weaker. The threshold between the two has turned to a giant wall that cannot be easily destructed. It was inevitable that the one with more power will win and the result of the war was already known before it began.


"Miss? Can I take your order?"


Yong-sun snapped back to the present and stared at the young woman standing behind the counter. She was smiling at Yong-sun while looking in her eyes. The quirky gaze made Yong-sun stand there stationary as if she was chained around.


The woman still smiling, spoke again. "Miss? There are people waiting behind."


"Yes. Um...I will have 7 coffees."


The woman requested her to wait at one of the vacant tables till they call her name. Yong-sun turned back to look at the woman for the last time before sitting down on a chair.


Yong-sun placed her hand on the chest to feel her heartbeat. 'What just happened to me? My heart just skipped a beat.' She took out her phone to kill the time.


"Miss Kim Yong-sun?"


Yong-sun lift her head and the coffee woman was standing there with her order. She quickly stood up and take the coffee. "How much do I owe?"


"21,000 won."


"Are you new here?", Yong-sun asked as she took out the money from her purse.


"No. I have been working here for one month now. Night shift. I started the morning shift yesterday."


Yong-sun handed the money and replied. "I asked because I haven't seen you before. I am a regular day costumer here. Well, thank you for the coffee and have a great day. Miss- ", Yong-sun read the name tag on the woman's shirt. "Byul-yi."
