It was a very cold day today, Chaeryeong thought. She just got finish with studying for her finals. She had visited the library earlier along with her friend, Yuri.

"I really hate winter" she said, rubbing her hands together to keep herself warm.

She was at the bus stop, waiting for a bus so that she can go home early. Yes, Chaeryeong was quite rich but she wanted to live on her own. Her parents supports her for her needs, school and even paying for her apartment.
As she was waiting her phone rang, it was her other friend...

:::::

"What do you need Ryujin?"

"Hey, you have a shift later, its between 4:00 pm to 8:00 in the evening. Will you be able to handle it?"

"I'm sure I can, I'll just use my padded coat, don't worry, I'll go home first"

"Sure thing"

"And please don't take a long time hanging out with Yuna"

"I won't sheesh, anyways, see you later at work"

"Sure bye"

"Bye Ryujin"

:::::::

Chaeryeong sighed, she hopped on the bus and find her seat. She still has her part time job. Why? because she believe that in her age, she needs to be independent already, she's already in college and she should make a living for herself already. Her sister was doing the same, unfortunately her sister isn't around this month because she was called to go to Japan.

After the long ride, she finally arrived in her apartment. She was greeted by the guard and then she continued to walk inside to the elevator. She pressed the number to the floor level where she was and then waited.

Upon arriving in her apartment room, she plopped herself on the sofa and then scrolled through her phone.

"Well, hopefully I can pass the examination" Chaeryeong said to herself.

She took a quick nap in her room for the sake that she was really tired. It was already around 1:30 in the afternoon and good thing that she set an alarm. She got up from her bed, went to her bathroom to shower then left her room after getting all her things and locking it before leaving.

The café was actually nearby, she didn't need to worry about transportation for her work.

"Good afternoon" Chaeryeong greeted as she entered the café. It smells nice she thought. The coffee and pastries around were making her smile.

"Good afternoon Chaeryeong" her boss greeted, with that, Chaeryeong greeted as well with a bow.

"Have you eaten lunch yet?" her boss asked

"Not yet Ms. Myoui" Chaeryeong said shyly

"Oh, then you can have lunch with Ryujin at the back, do remember to eat lunch before your work, that's more important okay?" her boss said and Chaeryeong nodded happily. She thanked her boss before going to the staffs room.

The staffs room was quite big, there was a fridge, a stove, and then shelves for them to put their things there. Their boss thought of putting free food for them so that if ever of them haven't ate yet, they could eat with gusto there.

"Oh, you arrived" Ryujin said as the younger walked in

"Yeah, I took a nap back at my place" Chaeryeong said and grabbed some food.

"You know, you could actually get a drink if you want" Ryujin said

"I would but, I'll get one later" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

She sat down and ate her lunch along with Ryujin. As they were talking, another worker came in.

"Good afternoon" she said and bowed

"Hi Minju" Ryujin greeted

"Hey" Minju replied and grabbed some food as well

"What happened?" Chaeryeong asked

"I had to finish a project and good thing that Ms. Myoui is very kind. I thoughg she would scold me for being late" Minju said and started eating

"Well, Sharon is really a café for students, also all of the employees here are students" Ryujin said and Chaeryeong nodded

"Come to think of it, we're lucky, unlike other café's we would get scolded already" Chaeryeong added

"So, how were your guys day went?" Minju asked

"The normal" Ryujin replied

"Examinations are coming up and I need to ace them" Chaeryeong said worriedly

"You're going to ace it as usual, you always do" Minju said

"I hope so" Chaeryeong said as she finishes her food.

"I'm done" Chaeryeong said and got up from her seat. She went to the restroom for the staffs and then brushed her teeth before going to the counter to take orders.

"Good afternoon miss, may I take your order?" Chaeryeong said, her head was done, her eyes were scanning through the computer, but once she put her head up she got shocked

"Oh, Miss Momo" Chaeryeong said with a smile

"Nice to see you around again Chaeryeong" Momo said and chuckled

"Can I help you with something miss?" Chaeryeong asked with a smile

"Well, I would like a Mocha frappe and then a slice of cheesecake" Momo answered

"Is that all?" Chaeryeong asked and Momo nodded

"Your order will be at your table shortly" Chaeryeong said and smiled

"Thank you" Momo said and smiled back at the younger

Momo was actually Chaeryeong's dance teacher. Chaeryeong has dance classes every Friday and Saturday. It looks like she has very little things to do... but to be honest, she has a very tight schedule.
