Knock knock, Baby! || JJK

-19-

My eyes scan around the cafe as I try to find a place to sit while I wait for my new manager. I end up choosing a cafe near the university since it's closer to home and also to Munie's new daycare, so if anything happens I'm not far away.

Taking a sit on a table beside the big glass windows of the cafe, I let myself take a quick look at the menu as I start to think about what I should order. I'm a little hungry, I haven't ate anything since lunch and now my stomach is starting to feel empty. After a few moments contemplating the menu I decide to order a strawberry cake and a caramel machiatto. I put back down the menu on the table and look outside the window. I'll wait for her before I order. Perhaps she's hungry too. It wouldn't be polite to order anything before my manager arrives.

I continue to stare at the cafe's street through the window as my manager now occupies my thoughts. I wonder when she'll arrive. She seemed a really exited person through our messages. I rest in my head on my hands, keeping on staring outside. Observing the passing people to distract myself from my anxiety.

I've never had a manger before. Which is pretty obvious since I've never worked as a model before. This is going to be a totally new experience for me. I'm not sure if I even know what managers do. The thought makes me giggle.

Still people watching, the figure of a woman outside the cafe, who clumsily runs across the street gets my attention. It looks like she's in a hurry.

"That women it's running really fast. She's gonna trip and fall if she keeps this pace." I murmured to myself, my gaze still fixed on the clumsy lady, crossing the street in the direction of the cafe. The woman keeps running until she stops right in front of the cafe doors, safe from tripping. She takes a few deep breaths before entering the building and her eyes start scanning the place, searching for someone among all these faces. When her eyes lay on me they light up and she starts walking towards my table.

"Oh, you're Miss Y/n, aren't you?" She asks expectantly with a wide smile.

"Yes, that's me." I offer a bright smile to her, assuming that she's the person I've been waiting for, "You must be Im Nayeon, my new manager."

"That's me!" She says excitedly siting across from me. "Sorry for being late, I was having a hard time finding the cafe. I hardly ever come to this part of the city. Therefore please forgive my lateness."

"Oh, it's perfectly fine! Don't worry about it. I'm happy you found the place in the end."

"Thank you! So should we discuss the reason of our meeting?" Nayeon picks up a little notebook and a tablet from her bag before looking at me.

"Of course!" I look at her putting her things out of her bag. "But can we order something first? I'm a little hungry." I chuckle.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was so excited about work that I forgot you might be hungry. Let's order something!" She looks at the menu excitedly. I can already tell from this seconds we're together, she's one cheerful person.

"So that's it for your schedule!" Nayeon smiles taking a sip from her coffee, "It's not that much, but since you just entered the industry, I think it's a pretty fair amount!" She grins. She told be I was being considered for two photoshoots, one for a comercial and other for a magazine. Though nothing was official just yet. And also about the job as an extra model they told me about before back when I was sighing with Hype.

"Thanks, Nayeon Manager-nim. I'm more than happy with my new schedule. Honestly, I'm happy it's not that busy since I still have college and all."

"Amazing! By the way the food here in this cafe is wonderful! I've never been here before but I'm absolutely coming back." She claps her hands.
