______
THE GIRL WATCHED as rain fell quickly from the dark gray clouds hovering above the city, her chin resting in the palm of her hand as she leaned against the counter, blinking tiredly as she was currently running on nothing but caffeine -- having gotten no sleep last night at all.
Her body felt heavy, head constantly beginning to droop down as she fought against her exhaustion, focusing intently on the sound of the rain pattering harshly with the pavement outside, as well as the lyrics of Taylor Swift's seven as it played over the speakers of the restaurant.
Kim Haneul was never one to give into anything, so she refused to call out of work this morning, not wanting to burden her friends with more work than they needed. But, she had started to regret her decision -- something she didn't do often.
She felt weak, physically and mentally. All she wanted to do was lay down, and drift off into dreamland, where she wouldn't have to think about all of the burdens and worries in her reality.
The girl drummed her fingers against the counter anxiously, nibbling down at her bottom lip as she thought back to the text she had received the previous night.
The bell rang throughout the restaurant, snapping the girl out of her trance as she plastered a small smile onto her lips, greeting the small group of customers that had walked into the building.
All whilst The five girls huddled up into a corner, each staring at their clearly tired friend with a frown.
"What happened? Does anyone know?" Kazuha questioned, crossing her arms as she leaned against the wall behind her.
"She won't respond, but it's apparent that she didn't get any sleep last night due to whatever is bothering her." Yunjin pointed out, pressing her lips together in a thin line.
"Mhm. I asked her what was wrong earlier, but she just waved it off and left to wipe down tables." Chaewon sighed out, eyes lingering on Haneul's figure as she seated the customers, placing a menu sheet in front of each of them.
"I feel bad tho, because we can't help her if we don't know what it is." Eunchae frowned, brows furrowed in concern as Kazuha patted her back as a source of comfort.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure she'll be alright in the end.. Hana is a smart and strong girl, she'll find a way around whatever issue she's facing. The most we can do is make sure she knows we're here for her. It's important to make sure she knows she can lean on us for support if she needs to." Sakura spoke up, earning nods from each of the girls.
