The next day, Taehyung woke up as early as 8 a.m. because this was the time when Yerin would finish cooking breakfast. He was reluctant to wake up because it was so early for him. He only fell asleep at 6 a.m. and hence he only had 2 hours of sleep and now he is awake again because he wanted to eat the breakfast that Yerin made specially for him.

Such a delulu.

He would never let Yerin know though, that he is usually someone who would sleep till 4 p.m. before waking up and have his first meal of the day.

"Oh you're up, the timing is just right, I've just finished cooking. Let's have breakfast now."

"Sure, hmmm let me take a look at what's today's breakfast menu"

Taehyung walked up and saw a plate of French toast with a plate of fruit salad, and lastly a cup of orange juice.

"Wow looks amazing, but are you sure these can last you till lunch? It doesn't look very fulfilling."

"Yeah don't worry. To be honest I do admit that I undercooked a bit today because I'm usually someone who has a big appetite..."

"Wow I really can't tell you are someone with a big appetite. You look like those girls who eat one mouth of food and are full from it."

"Nah, never. I don't know how those girls are surviving with that but I respect them."

They went on chatting and chatting as Yerin still had lots of time left before going to work. Taehyung has never felt this way. It's so different when he's chatting with Yerin today. She's talking much more, and she's actually trying to joke around during their chitchat. This shows a great improvement, doesn't it?

Soon, it was 11.30 a.m. and Yerin left the house for work before finishing preparing lunch and dinner for the both of them. Lunch was more fulfilling, it was a bowl of kimchi fried rice with a sunny side up topped on top and a piece of steak with a few cherries. Strange combination but we shall respect that. For dinner, Yerin prepared her favourite food, gimbap. She has a strange obsession with food such as gimbap, sushi, origini etc. They are so delicious.

Right after Yerin left, Taehyung could not hold back anymore and quickly went into his room and collapsed on the bed. He set an alarm in case he oversleeps. Who knows, he might sleep till the next day if he could.

It was the first day of work and Yerin was low-key nervous, because she had yet to try cashiering, since all this while she's been doing either waitress or salesperson. Luckily, the lady boss there was super kind towards her and the machines were easy to learn. The day went past in a blink of an eye since Yerin was enjoying herself at work.

It was soon 12 a.m. at night and the next part-timer came to take over the shift. To say that she's totally not scared of walking home alone, would be a lie. Especially when Taehyung told her in order to reach home, she had to pass by this alley.

She had never walked through this alley before since she just moved here not long ago, but it was rumoured by many that this alley is often known as the "Fight Alley" as many people would always fight here since there's no CCTV.

Yerin tucked tightly onto her jacket as she soon walked to the entrance of the alley. As for now when she looked over the entire alley, there were no people there. She sighed out of relief as she thought it was safe to cross.

The icy breeze guttered down the night-darkened lane as the weather was getting colder. The streets were so quiet that it hurt her ears. She wants to wear an earpiece and listen to some calming music, but she's afraid that if she does that, she won't be able to pay attention to her surroundings.
