Y/N POV


It was morning, it took time but fortunately, I was able to find a small lease where I was able to open a small shop. Everything was set, a variety of candies are on display and up for enticement. I can't help but smile proudly as the excitement on how the store would start. Setting the sign to open as the 1st day grand opening of "Sweet Dreams", the name of the candy show. Standing in front of the register and...

1 hour later...

No one had entered the store yet. It wasn't really disappointing since it was really early in the morning and the shop is new. 

3 hours later...

I can't help but to feeling anxious about this. I've expected that should be at least one customer coming in by now. 


Y/N: Well... It's still too early for candy for some people, I guess... customer can show up any minute now...


Trying to encourage myself, I simply decided to start a new approach. Going outside in front of my shop trying to advertise.


Y/N: Welcome, here in Sweet Dream, all your sweet tooth cravings comes true!


I've been trying to advertise as best as I can. It's strangely difficult as people just tend to ignore me. Suddenly, I was approached by a woman with pink hair.


???: Hey kid, aren't you to be too young to be working?


Honestly, this surprised me  and oddly was confused by her statement.


Y/N: I beg your pardon?

???: Look you should be in school right now. If you're needing money, a part time job should be enough. Don't make it a full time job though.

...

I can't help but bewildered by this. it was weird how I'm being scolded right now due to some misunderstanding.


Y/N: Um... I'm sorry but how old do you think I am?

???: 14... 15 tops... why?

Y/N: *sigh* Miss, I'm 25....

...

An awkward silence was deafening to say the least. She carefully inspects me while looking incredulous. I can't help but sweat dropped as the lady in front of me is clearly struggling to believe my words. There's not much to do so I decided to take this as an opportunity to offer.


Y/N: Um... Would you like to buy some candy?


The pink haired lady sighed as she can't really tell if I'm lying or not. 


???: I see... Sorry about that. I guess I can buy some... Mr...

Y/N: *smiles politely* Y/n, Y/n Changgong. Owner of the newly established "Sweet Dreams".

???: Right... give me some of that.

Y/N: Oh. You mean that sour bombs?

???: Yeah. Sure.
