HEARTBEATS - [제이]

It was the next day.

As usual for the weekends, the girl was on her way to the bakery to get some bread rolls for her and Halmeoni.

She liked to spend her time with that woman as they knew each other since she was a literal toddler.

Even during her childhood, the girl spent more time at that book café than at home.

She got into reading when she was a kid and never got bored of reading all day even since then.

She was nearly eighteen now, not an adult but neither a child yet.

The fall season had finally begun a few days ago and the small village in South Korea made it look like the most beautiful of all four seasons.

The trees were about to lose their leaves as they started to turn brown and copper colored.

The grass turned dark green and hid all the flowers which would reborn after the winter had ended.

The sky was cloudy and the sun was nowhere to be seen. A slight wind breeze swept through the air, through the girl's chocolate brown hair every now and then.

Every villager walked around wrapped in warm clothes, the season change started to show its traces in the weather conditions as well.

The girl hid her mouth in the dark red scarf she picked up from her closet in the morning.
A brown coat made her feel not so cold but very comfortable and warmth.

Autumn was by far the girl's favorite season.

Rainy days were her favorites. Reading all day and hiding under a tons of blankets with a cup of warm tea or cocoa.

As she quickly wrapped up her little walk through the place, the girl quickly approached the bakery and let out a relieved exhale when she saw that the queue wasn't as long as mostly.

She patiently stood behind three or four people who would be ordering before her.

Luckily the people were quick and didn't oder much of bread rolls or other things which the bakery offered.

It didn't take long until it was now the girl's turn to order and so she gladly did once the employee looked at her with a kind sympathetic smile.

"What can I do for you?"
The employee behind the counter asked nicely.

"Two normal and one cinnamon bread rolls please"
The girl ordered there upon, the employee nodding with this sweet smile still on her face.

She watched her stuffing her order inside a medium sized paperbag before placing it on the counter.

"3,000 won please"

The brown haired girl nodded quickly before opening the bag hanging around her shoulder immediately.
