"Aish Eunjung-ah you haven't found a job in weeks! It's been 2 years since you're father left us and you haven't found a job to help me with the rent?! Get up!" My mom opens the blinds and the sun light flashes brightly on my face.

"Omma! You know I have a job so just leave me alone!" I block my face from the sun.

"How can you, my own daughter not help me with the rent?! Get up and keep trying! Working at a cafe won't get you anywhere! Look for a better paying job!"

"No I give up! Why don't you just ask Chanyeol oppa for help! He's famous!" I cover myself with my blankets.

"Yah! Ham Eunjung!" My mom pulls the blankets off of me giving me a death glare. "You know I don't like asking your brother for help!"

"Mom he's your son he's supposed to help you."

"No now get up and look for a job!" I get up and got dressed with no choice.

Aish! My mom is so dramatic! Just because my job isn't well paid she thinks we'll be living in the streets. Now I have to waste my afternoon job hunting.

All my friends are enjoying their last year of high school while I still stay at home and try to find a job. I'm just lucky that I even passed the 12th grade, school is not my strongest point.

My family isn't that rich either so I have to pay for my college tuition fees once I graduate.

Even though I don't want to go to college. All I want is to dance! But no my mom wants me to work at a business in Seoul so that she won't have to worry about money anymore. Aish so annoying!

I go to the kitchen where my mom was cooking. "On your way back buy some meat! Your cousins are coming over!"

"I thought we didn't have enough money?"

"Just go!"

"Araso! I'll be back!" I grab my bag and the newspaper to go job hunting, again.

I'm not going to lie but being outside was great, I've been hiding in the dark for two days, depressed that no one will even consider hiring me. I was lucky enough to get the job I have now.

Every book store, fast food place, and restaurant slam the door in my face not literally but you know what I mean.

If people do hire me I get fired the very next day! Something about being impatient, sassy, rude, those are the 3 most popular reasons why they fire me.

I mean sometimes I do get annoyed with customers but they're so rude sometimes. They complain about something not tasting right or that the service is slow and I'm not the type to deal with that.

Anyway let's see what jobs are open, hmm there's waitress but I can't remember who orders what, oh maybe janitor! Nah I suck at cleaning, or a pizza delivery!

As I was walking to the near by pizza place my phone rings, "Yeoboseyo?"

"Eunjung where are you? We need you today, did you forget?!" My manager yells through the phone. "That was today? Jiwon asked for today off? I thought it was next week!"

"No it was today! Hurry up and get here it's lunch hour!" She angrily hangs up the phone.

Luckily the café was near by so I run as fast as I could.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" I walk in the café out of breath.

"C'mon we need you to start right now you're late." Dani hands me my apron and rushes me to the coffee machines.

"We just got this new coffee maker so just put the grinded coffee into here and press start." Dani shows me how to grind and put the coffee in the machine, she made it look so easy there's no way I could mess this up.
