[SVT] SEVENTEEN Fanfiction || G.A.M.E.S : Gotta MakE it and Survive

CHAPTER 2

Another exhausting day at work. I just have one hour till I go home. In this snowy, freezing weather, I was waiting for some customers to place their orders.

People who work as cashiers must have certain abilities, which include more than simply the ability to add and subtract money and operate a cash machine. But it is to grin every time a customer comes in, which is exhausting.

Even if you're having a bad day or serving a jerk, you must serve with a smile or risk losing your job the next day.

My boss called out to me while I was dozing off with my eyes closed and my chin resting on my hand.

"Hey Mizukasa-san, can you take care of the menu board outside?" she inquired.

"What if a client comes in? I don't want to leave them alone," I shrugged.

"If I were you, I wouldn't want to disobey the boss," one of the employees replied.

I huffed, "I'd rather remain inside than go out in that snow."

"I'll deal with the cashier; now go."

I sighed once more and followed their orders. My boss gave me a special menu list and some colored chalk to decorate the board.

"You're the only artist we have, and we can't afford a basic looking menu board for customers to look at," my manager remarked.

"I never expected this to be one of my duties from working here," I grumbled.

"Just put up with it; you'll get paid more."

"I hope so," I murmured as I brought the chalk and menu outside.

Before writing and scribbling on the board, I knelt in front of it and wiped it clean. I can't wait to get home and play G.A.M.E.S., I thought as I kept scribbling.

—Seoul, South Korea—

[AUTHORS P.O.V]

The boys got home after a long day of work, and by work I mean coming back from their Japan tour.

Jihoon, Jeonghan, and Seungkwan sat down on the couch, relieved to be back home in Seoul.

"I'm heading to my room; I can hear my bed beckoning to me to lie down," Soonyoung stated as he went exhaustedly towards his room.

"Just remember to change your clothes before going to bed," Jeonghan advised him.

"Does everyone want some ice cream?" Seokmin said as he approached the kitchen.

"How about a cup of tea?" Minghao suggested.

"Hansol got some bubble tea ice cream a while ago, and I was curious what it tasted like," Seokmin said.

"Of course, it tastes like bubble tea," Seungcheol winced, as if the answer was already evident.

"You constantly make me sound like a moron, hyung."

"It's known as common sense."

During the conversation, Soonyoung returned to the living room in his pajamas, still a bit weary.

"What happened to sleeping, Soonyoung hyung?" Minghao inquired.

"I came because I heard you talking about eating ice cream."

"And I'm assuming you'd want one," Jun said.

"Yes, please."

"Right on it," Seokmin responded as he picked up the box containing the ice cream and opened it on his way back to the living room.
