I wake up with a pounding headache and Changmin's still sleeping next to me.

I look down at myself, I'm wearing one of Changmin's shirts over the black dress from yesterday.

Oh god, what did I do.

"Changmin," I say softly. 

His eyes slowly flutter open and he takes a second to focus on me.

"I'm sorry," I tell him, knowing I probably made a scene last night.

Changmin's eyes crinkle with laughter. "It's okay babe."

"No it's not. I really can't drink anymore . Even if I want to," I say firmly.

"Nothing wrong with having some fun," Changmin rests his hand on the side of my face. "And stop apologizing. I'm your boyfriend, it's my job to take care of you."

I smile. "We should probably get ready for work."

".... Yeah," Changmin sits up and we both change.

For some reason, he seems a bit distant as we get breakfast and drive to work.

Maybe he's actually mad at me?

We begin our shift at noon and the first customer happens to be Garam.

For a second she looks surprised to see us there.

"Oh!" She says. "I'll have a small iced lemon tea." She yells toChangmin.

He nods and I begin to pour it.

"Hey," Garam leans over the counter to me.
"You're so strong for keeping your job with him."

"Hm?" I ask, wondering if I heard correctly.

"You know," she nods towards Changmin. "After what he did."

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"You don't know?" Garam asks.

I hand her the drink and she says, "my bad."

Garam flips her hair and walks out again.

"What's she talking about?" I ask and Changmin doesn't turn around, he's barely breathing. "Changmin what's she talking about?"
