chapter twelve

"Watch out young lady!"

Jisoo looked up to see a familiar man staring at her with an annoying expression suddenly turned into a sweet one as soon as he realised something.

"Jackson? I mean oppa?"

"Ah jisooya, is that you?! I'm sorry i didn't see you there."

"No it's my fault. I was..." Jisoo said. She can't believe that he was actually therr. Jackson, the blonde dude noticed her nervousness.

"What's up? Long time no see!" He patted her shoulders.

"It's really not been that long... I thought you were in military."

"Oh..as soon as I was discharged my mom sent me abroad for a year and I just returned a month back."

"Ah.. so it's already been three years."

"Yeah. Time passed really fast. By the way, I don't hope you still have grudge towards me."

"What are you saying? I don't really like you anymore. Ah I don't really mean that way!" Jisoo got tangled with the words she chosed herself. Jackson grinned. "Hey I understand. Anyways, are you in university now?

"Yeah. I'm majoring in psychology."

"I'm rejoining uni soon so expect to see me everyday."

"Haha sure."

"Are you busy now?"

"Yeah, I have my part time jobs..."

"Okay..see you later then.

After bidding bye to Jackson, Jisoo walked to her part-time workplace while having deep thoughts in her mind.

"He's really back." Jisoo thought. Jisoo entered the bookstore with a sigh.

"Hey! I'm glad you are here early." The owner told her as soon as she reached the front desk. "I'm thinking of getting one more part time employee. It's really lonely to work all by yourself right?" The brunnete said being extremely excited.

"I'm really kay but if it florish your business, I support your decision, unnie."

"Okay then I will take care of the making of pamphlets and you should help me distribute them." The owner said and left Jisoo took a mental note of it and sat down sighing still thinking of that time. It was still early and people weren't coming anytime soon.

The owner of the bookstore was a young girl, a few years older than her who inherited the bookstore from her grandpa. The business has been going on for like ages. Jisoo was glad to find a part time job in such a fine place and now she was looking forward to the new employee.

Soon it was time for customers to arrive.

"People really doesn't comes to bookstore anymore but this place have a special place in my heart." Jisoo heard one of the customer say. The customer'd eye suddenly met with her who didn't forget to smile. Jisoo smiled at her back as a sign of generosity. The customer was really pretty though, Jisoo thought. She did her job as usual. After that job, Jisoo had another part time job at a beauty salon.

"Hello aunt." The aunt there wasn't as kind as unnie from the bookstore so jisoo wasn't really happy there.

"Look at the time! You are five minutes late."

"I am sorry, aunt. The traffic was.."

"No excuses. Get to work. We have lots of customers today."

Jisoo quickly changed her outfit and get to work. After hours of work, Jisoo was finally free. Jisoo looked at the watch. It was 6:19 already. It was already dark outside and she was getting hungry.

Her stomach grumbled. Jisoo walked down the street. As she was walking, Jisoo once again felt as if she was being watched and followed at the same time. This time, she could even hear the footsteps clearly. Jisoo was about to turned around to face the trouble bravely when suddenly she crashed into a guy. Jisoo smelled a family cologne in that person and she knew it wasn't Jackson.

"You?"
