"how? How can I repay him?"
Taehyung cries under her sheets. She's wiping a river of tears. Now she regrets borrowing money from them

"Those men! There will come a time that they will pay for what they have done to me!"
She grits her teeth, her fist clench

She wipes her tears harshly and pulls the blanket out of her. She needs to work her ass off to earn that huge amount of silver to pay back her friend

She doesn't want him to think that she's taking advantage of him, she is not his responsibility to look after. She goes to the bathroom and fixes herself. She needs to look good so she can apply in the market, maybe they will need a store keeper or anything

She will accept any work. This time she doesn't have to be picky though she's not but this time even hard work that only for men she will try to do

She walks out of their house and goes to the Market place, She will try to apply for work in an old man sits in front of his store with a hand fan just patiently waiting for customers to come and look at his textile product

"Good morning sir.. I was looking for work"
She greets him with a beautiful smile. The man look at her from top to bottom and shake his head softly

"if you want to work for me, i think you need to be bulk as them.. " he points a finger on the other men on the side of the road carrying a thick rolled of textile on their back. Those men are sweating a lot without their top shirt

"textile are heavy but if you need work I suggest you to go the street food section. I heard they need a cook maybe you can try you luck there"
The man kindly said. She bows a few times and take his leave going straight to the way of it. She remembers her auntie that have a stall in that line

"auntie!"
She greets cheerfully hoping she will accept her but the old woman is having a bad day. Her worker has been absent for 3 days now and she needs an extra hand to help her carry those bags of vegetables and pallettes

"If you want work I'll give you but do you really want it? Your petit body will surely ache at the end of the day"
She frowns with her hands on her hips

"anything auntie! That is what I badly needed now"

"yeah? Then get those all and start washing them.. help me chop them and bring those pallettes. We will use it as tables"

She rolled up her sleeves and gets to work but regrets it when she feel how heavy those pallettes are. She walks to the bags of vegetables and tries to lift them but in vain.. she needs to opens the bag and transfer a few in a bucket if she wants to move it

It's only been hours that she's bending on the ground to wash them all but she already feels her back aches

"how auntie can do all of this?! Every single day!"  She curse under her breath. She looks at her aunt that's been watching her struggling to get the job done. She shakes her head and now she feels scared. She needs a job and she doesn't want this to be her first and last day of work with her. She have to move fast

She wipes her sweat over her forehead, wiping her hands on her pants. She got busy and ignore her body aches unknown of a pair of eyes watching her from the start

Seojoon wants to get her out of there. She will get sick if she continues to work like that. She's there in broad daylight. Exposed in the heat of the sun, her hands and feet are wet from the water in the pail. Her clothes till her thighs are wet and getting dry while she's wearing it. She has apron but what does it can do to help her?

His eyebrow furrowed. He doesn't like what she is doing though he's aware that she's doing all of this for him, to pay him back

Seojoon can't help it anymore and goes to where she's sitting. Her arms are wet drenched in a bucket of cold water. Taehyung looks up trying to see who's infront of her. She wipes the sweat that is sliding in her eyes
