Ji-ah snoozed off her alarm and went back to sleep. After missing five alarms she finally woke up. Getting down to the bed yawning loudly and picked up her phone and scrolled through the notifications. It was 9 am. Ji-ah moved to Seoul 3 years ago. Her morning routine was a bit messy. Her job is working in a coffee shop. She never liked coffee, but working at the coffee shop made change her mind.
The smell of roasted coffee beans saturates the air. The environment was unique with gorgeous paintings and decorations. The spacious café offered an excellent experience that made her like this place very much. The food items were delicious and the service was very friendly and amiable. She gets ready for her work. Ji-ah was glad this wasn't one of those sleepless nights she usually has to deal with. Making tea and coffee was a busy job, but she's very hardworking. Her dream was to be a singer, and she worked hard for it. It never happened to her. Ji-ah was never good at human interaction. But anyhow she put a smile on her face, and she manages everything as she could.
"One hot Americano, please," someone with a manly deep voice said, as she arranged the cups.
"Would you like your order to take away-
"Yeah take away." He said as seemed very busy.
"Okay sir, please wait for a moment" she smiled.
She noticed him. He always comes at this hour. She couldn't take her eyes off. He was a perfect blend of sugar and spice, a sundae with cherry, it's hard to describe him in a words. Ji-ah knew him since she started working here. Once she even burnt her finger while serving him coffee. When she looked at him with deep, passionate, mysterious, rich cocoa eyes she could melt in them. Whenever he comes, for her it was a romantic moment.
She even wrote him many letters with her cute, secret name. He too responds to those letters. He doesn't know she was Ji-ah.
"Be careful don't get hurt" his chuckle was low and soft. He said that every single day whenever he orders something hot coffee. Then it was he got her ointment done.
Later that day...
Ji-ah went to the mall with her friends. She was happy because her crush has talked to her, it was little but okay for her. Ji-ah was tired after her shopping and she thought of taking a shortcut to reach home, and it is a dark alley. Barely anybody goes from there. It was pouring. As she took her umbrella from her bag, she heard strange voices. It was completely dark and the lights though not proper.
"Should I go and check? there? But I couldn't even see anything. what should I do?"
And that day her life was changed completely. She slowly, slowly started walking, following the yelling. She went there and saw the creepy man killing a guy. The guy was shouting and screaming and begging him. But he didn't even have mercy upon him. He wore a black mask; a black hat and his outfit is all black.
"Please don't kill me. I'm not going to do anything. Please leave me." then the creepy man brutally stabbed him, which made her scream and she started crying. He came near her. She sat down there in fear. While crying she, even more, appeared cute. He held her hand.
"Remember from now on, today, now, Oct 1st at 11:59 pm. You had seen me, and I saw you, the time I fell for you!" his gaze become scary and he spoke softly.
"What type of jerk are you?" she thought to herself
She freed her hand from his grab and started running. She sprints through the empty dark streets, trying to catch her breath. She gulps down her saliva and continues running forcing her legs to move faster. She looks back and he's not even there. Her feet are aching. So, her full body slows down to a painful jog and looks around.
