"Phew!" Halting my feet at the bus stop and riding the first one to my workplace, I finally got to catch my breath.

The bus was pretty much empty and I'm honestly glad it is. I didn't wish to get into another tug of war for a seat, as soon as I got up.

Trotting to one of the window seats, I opened my phone to ring Heeseung up. Even if all the designs belonged to me, making notes and speeches for the elocution as well as printing the files, had to be credited to my one and only brother, Heeseung.

I couldn't wait to tell him that I got the job and searched for his call number, although it was the most recent call I had. Slapping my foolishness off my head, I dialed Heeseung and waited for him to pick up.

"Neh?"

"Busy?"

"A little. Some celebrity has booked the hotel today and these idiot employees are still slacking off. Be quick with your convo."

"I got the job." I spoke nonchalantly and straight to the point. His occupation was equally important and I shouldn't waste too much of his time.

"Oh! I knew you would. Congratulations, kiddo! You finally grew up."

"Hey! That's unfair. Anyways, the important thing is that I won't be home today. Will you be at my place or at yours?"

"I don't think I can return any time soon. The other manager has broken a leg and is on leave. Have to do double work."

"Okay. I won't disturb you. Goodluck. I'll be at Sunoo's place, studying."

"Alright! Bye."

"Annyeong!"

I cracked my knuckles and prepared to get down at the corner. Hurrying on my feet, I chased my exhaustion past and entered the café.

Wasn't long before I was running again, collecting the orders. The number of people I encounter everyday, has surprisingly increased.

Breathing wasn't even an option to me and all my bones felt like falling apart. I wiped my sweat off my forehead as I served the 50th serving on the table of 5.

I dusted my hands and was almost closing up when I realised a tall shadow covering me. A sudden threat of fears made my heart bounce.

"Don't you get tired, at all?" I found my crime partner, Addelyn join me in my crusade against pulling the heavy iron shutter down.

"I do. My hands don't reach the shutter." I giggled as the girl pulled the bream down and rubbed her hands to heat up her cold November hands.

"You don't even have a jacket." She opened her white furry jacket and wrapped me in it, pulling me to her blue SUV.

She rolled the window up and started the engine in the direction of Sunoo's apartment and not to mention, whatever she does, helps me anyways.

Winter usually starts mid november but this time, it was early and freezing already. The morning wouldn't shine before 7:00 AM and the crepuscule was as early as 4:30 PM.
