CHAPTER1-THEBEGINNING
Humans.
I once envied them. They lived the life that I could only wish for. They could eat, sleep and feel love, things that I couldn't. They are born, then grow old, and finally die. They take their lives for granted and live selfishly wishing for money to rain above them.
I was designed to walk the earth as merely their watcher. I could never become one of them, there was no end to this life. As time moves by for them, mine is frozen, it never moves.
I don't live, I just exist. I am just a button of doom. Every step I take, every move my hand makes, every breath I take, everything about me leads to doom. I exist for that purpose.

Pancreatic cancer. I walked through the hallways of the hospital, my mind wandering aimlessly. 'If you want to live longer you must take the treatment which will let you live for another year. If you don't take the treatment you will die in 3 months." I didn't know what to think, feel, or do. My father, what will happen to him? He'll have no one to look after him.
I felt a small vibrating feeling coming from my pocket. I picked up the phone and clicked the 'answer button'. "Hwayoung, where are you? The cafe kind of needs your help right now, could you come over?" I sighed and softly responded, "Of course I can Jake, I'll be there in 15 minutes." He thanked me, ended the call and I got into a taxi.
"Hwayoung!" I closed the door behind me and headed towards Jake. "Hey, is there anything specific you want me to do today?" I took off my coat and hung it onto a coat hanger before tying on an apron. "Do you mind serving customers?" I looked around the shop to see that there were lots of customers. "Of course" I smiled and washed my hands before serving customers their food, pastries and drinks.
After a long day of serving people, we closed the shop and I started cleaning up. "Hwayoung I'm sorry for making you work so hard today. Daeun wasn't available and I didn't want to leave all the stress to five boys since there were lots of customers today." I chuckled at Jake's cuteness and replied "Don't worry Jake I'm fine. I'll just finish cleaning and lock up for tonight okay?"
He smiled and thanked me one more time before leaving. Jake is the owner of 'The Rose' cafe. It was well known all over South Korea and a hot tourist attraction, especially in the late winter to spring. He worked so hard to get it to where it is today which is why I respect him so much. I finished mopping the floor and put all of the cleaning supplies I used back in the cupboard.
"Hwayoung, thanks for the help today we're going to take our leave," Jay said. He and the boys waved at me before Jungwon added, "Please take a taxi home and stay safe!" I nodded and they left, leaving me alone in the large cafe.
