6:30. 3 more hours. i'm so tired..

i then see another customer come in. he has a computer in his hands as well as a notebook and pencil pouch. he must be studying or something..

"uh, hello..? are you there..?" he said while waving his hand infront of my face.

"ah, i'm so sorry! i get zoned out sometimes.."

"no, no, your alright!" he said with a gentle smile. he looked genuinely happy, but stressed at the same time.

"what would you like to order this evening?"

"hm, i'll take a pumpkin spice latte please..!"

"my favorite!" i said with a smile. "would you like to drink in here, or is it to go?"

"mmh, i'll drink here, i have to study for a test and i'm really stressed, so being in the shop would be a good start for me."

"what kinda test do you have? maybe i can help you! i used to be a tutor." i said.

"i have a geometry test, nd math is one of my worst subject."

"ah. how old are you?"

"21. you?"

"oh, i'm 20 ! :) now, what do you need help with?"

we then spent the rest of the night working on practice tests, solutions, etc. i really had a pleasant time, since i noticed he was getting better and better.

i checked my watch, and saw it was 12:04 am.

"hey, i think you've done enough studying. go home, and get some rest, okay?" i said while almost dozing off to sleep.

"alright. oh, i forgot to mention, what's your number? we can talk on there when you or me need help on tests, or anything really."

i gave him my number, and he then left. i took off my barista apron, turned the lights off, locked the door, and then left.

i didn't live way to far from the cafe. i was only a few blocks away, and i lived in a little apartment close to my university. i got my job not to long ago, as i was struggling with finance problems. i am doing fine now, i just don't want to be reminded of hard times like that.

as i entered my home, i closed all of the blindes, got my pj's on, and went to sleep. tomorrow was a sunday, another work day unfortunately.

i had gotten home to my small apartment. it was nothing special, but good enough for just me. i usually vary on my "jobs" , but i mostly walk dogs for money. it's nothing special, i know, but it's one way i can pay the bills.

it is about 2:00 am. i cannot sleep unfortunately..

i go ahead and get on my phone, and start changing the baristas profile picture to soobin from txt (don't ask why) and changed his contact name to "unknown ? 😵‍💫"

i then texted him.

"hello?" i never officially got your name.."

i woke up from the blinding lights coming from my phone next to me. "huh..?" i groaned while picking up my phone to see what notified me.

i then saw a text saying "hello? i never officially got your name.." was this the guy at the cafe..?

oh, right, it was..

"hi, i'm felix. why are you up so late? go get some sleep."

"i cant, why do you think i'm texting you.." he then responded with.

"i'm gonna go back to sleep, i have work tomorrow, okay?"

"wait, can i talk to you about something first..? i'll then stop bothering you."

"eh, alright, js be quick." i responded with

"i'm really stressed. i can't stop thinking about the test i have on tuesday."

"ah, what's your name?"

"hyunjin ✌🏼"

"okay, hyunjin, take some deep breaths. even if you get a low score, i want you to know that it's gonna be okay, and one test does not define you."

"alr, thanks. i'll stop bothering you now"

"okay, goodnight."
