[PART-I] One - Midnight

PART-I

JENNIE

MARCH, 2020

"Another shot Jennie," a regular customer shouted to me from the corner table.

"Sure coming" I smiled forcefully, tried to look cheerful and started to make another soju glass for that guy. Looks like they are having a mini party here with some office employees. That's good for me. Those drunk fools always give extra tips that time. Although that's not enough for me. I'm not greedy for tips. I genuinely need them.

I put the glasses over the tray and before carrying them I checked the time on my cracked phone screen. It's almost 2 am. My shift will end in a few more minutes. I carried those glasses on a tray and walked over to the corner table and served the soju for them. They are already drunk ass and ready again to inhaling more alcohol. They must be tired but ofc not more than me. The regular customer looked over at me and handed me some money as tips. I held the money and smiled this time not forcefully. Unlike my coworkers, who often refuse tips out of shame, I can't afford to. But I said already I need them genuinely even if that's not enough for me.

"Have a great drink sir" I bowed and turned to walk away. My shift is over. But a middle aged guy sitting beside our regular customer, most probably his co-worker, grabbed my wrist. I flinched.

"So young for work here," he said in a drunken tone. But thankfully our regular customer jerked his hands out.

"U should enjoy your drink Mr. Choi" he laughed and I didnt turn but straightly walked towards the bar. Maybe they are having fun now. But was it too hard for him to tell him it's a bad thing to touch a girl without their permission? Never mind, it wasn't anything new to me.

I washed my wrist under the faucet and rubbed hard until it was reddish. It's such a disgusting feeling. I took off my apron and opened my hair . that was in a pony tail hair a while ago. I washed my face and took my tote bag. In the meantime, Yeonjun came to take his next shift. He is such a gentleman. He calls me Noona as he is younger than me. He bowed to me and stepped inside as I stepped outside.

I headed to my house. I'll get there in half an hour. I can take any taxi but I just can't waste my money on them, besides at this time it doesn't feel safe for a lonely girl . Although it's not safe for a lonely girl walking on the street at this time, at atleast I'm not spending money.

Finally I'm in my one room tiny apartment. I quickly took off my shoes before collapsing on my bed. It's still on the floor. I don't know if I feel so comfortable on it. I took off all my clothes and wore a white shirt after freshening up and finally adjusted my alarm before I fell asleep. I have classes in the morning.

"So class that's it for today," the professor said before leaving the classroom. Today the sun was barely up when I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I got ready with my simple top and jeans and an over shirt. Everything I'm wearing is way cheaper than anything my other classmates eat for one meal but I know how to put them all together, and I'm kinda proud of it. That's why I'm studying fashion designing. I always tend to do what my heart wants too. And I can make money after my degrees hopefully.

After the classes as usual I waited until everyone left the class. Alright let me be honest until song kang. The most handsome guy in our uni, probably in this world, has left the class. I love to stare at him. I feel like a stalker sometimes. But I can't help myself. He is so good looking. Besides, he is a genius and a gentleman too. I never saw him talking with any girls beside some of his stupid friends who always surrounded him. Are they gay or what? Sometimes I doubt not gonna lie. I heard other girls say that too.

He left finally. I arranged my back and headed to the cafe. Haha not for having lunch. That would be a fantasy for me. I work there too. I somehow enjoy working in a cafe rather than in a bar. It's more peaceful and also I have a friend there. My one and only friend.

"Girl, did you have lunch?" Rosé asked excitedly. I shook my head. I only ate bread for my breakfast and I don't have time for my lunch. When I came to the cafe, it was already lunch time there.

"I want to eat kimbap today. Don't say no Jenniyaaa. You will be skinny if u keep dieting like this" I chuckled and nodded. To be honest, I love eating her food. They are delicious and I don't have to pay. Rosé is from a well earning family better than my state so it won't affect her. She somehow knows my financial state so most of the time she brings lunch for me. I enjoy eating. It's the only time I eat with all my heart and belly full before starting my work with renewed energy.

The café's jazz music is playing, my favorite. I love making espresso and serving pastries. And Rosé always keeps me smiling. She is so talkative.

As soon as my shift ended at 8 PM I quickly headed to the bar. I took my shift and did my work. I wish Rosés were here too.

Tonight it feels different. It's almost midnight, and there aren't many customers. Just one regular, drinking slowly, and another guy having tteokbokki. And a guy over corner He was just sitting on a chair without ordering anything. He is wearing a hat, making him hard to recognize. I'm sure I haven't seen him here before. 

It's 2 am finally. I looked in the bar and saw that the guy was still there looking at me. What the fuck he want? And why is he even sitting in the same place for 2 hours without ordering something?

I quickly headed outside, walking to my house more quickly than usual. I didn't know why that guy was kinda strange and I'm feeling kinda scared maybe? But I feel like someone is behind me walking with me, I'm sure. The feeling of being followed, sending chills down my spine. I gripped my tote bag tighter, I know I'm a stupid but I decided to turn around. I'm ready to face who is behind. I stood straight for awhile. My house isn't so far away. I finally turned.
