I walked sluggishly down lit up street of itaewon, looking for a place to eat with the very few won i have. I had, sadly, grabbed it out a abandoned wallet in the middle of the street. I took only the money, deciding not to stoop lower than i already was for their card.
I found a flyer as I was walking, it was a beautiful sight. It was an american barbeque place, cheap enough for me to eat there and have money left over to save for next time.
It was only down on the other road. As my hopes had risen, I began to pick up my pace. In not time, I was there.
"William's American BBQ...?" I read the sign, scratching the nape of my neck as I headed into the very plain shop. It was cute, though. It gave off a unique vibe.
I stepped in and almost immediately a lanky girl with short black hair sat me. She was... Unique. She didnt look anything like the plastic monsters... She looked extremely natural.
She had round cheeks that seemed to be what she was self concious about, due to the hair hiding over them. She was definitely mixed. American-Korean I'm guessing.
"Hello. Take a seat anywhere, I'll be with you in a minute." She told me. Her face was very innocent, doe eyes and everything.
I decided to sit down at the bar. I may not be old enough to drink but I for sure was not going to sit all alone at a booth.
In a few minutes she appeared behind the bar, cleaning it off for me. She spoke
as she cleaned. "I'm Juniper, I'll be your waitress... Since im the only one working right now." She sounded pissed. The scoff under her breath didn't help either.
"You're the only one working?" I leaned forward a bit and asked her. I was a bit taken back by that. She seemed too young to be working all alone.
She nodded and finished up cleaning. "Yep. The other workers quit and one is sick. Just me and my weird dad here."
"Aish. I'm sorry." I sighed and smiled sweetly at her. She didn't smile back though, nodding and walking off for a minute. She came back with a notepad and pen. "Food and drink?"
I told her my meal, folding up the menu and handing it to her. She thanked me and walked off.
My stomach grumbled furiously and I layed my hand on it. I sighed and decided to distract myself with the wall art in the shop. There were family portraits everywhere.
It had a woman with hair similar to The waitress. she was a sweet looking ahjumma. She was Caucasian though, the only thing off setting about the picture. Father is asian, Daughter and Son, mixed. But the white skinned mother stood out boldly. She was gorgeous, none the less but she stuck out like a sore thumb.
The waitress later returned with food. I, being the homeless and hungry ranaway i was, ate and ate and ate.
By the time I was finished it was 11:30 pm and the waitress, Juniper, slept on the counter next to me. I peered over to her, listening to her slight snoring.
Suddenly an angry woman walked in. I looked at her and made the short second of eye contact before she angrily snuffed me and clicked back into the kitchen.
I decided to wake the sleeping coconut head next to me. I began to say her name. "Uhm.. Ma'am?" I touched her back. She slowly lifted her head and looked at me.
"What?" She asked, speech slurred a bit due to her sleepiness. I pointed to the door to the kitchen, opening my mouth to speak but cut off by a loud bang and yelling.
She sat up higher, completely awake now. "Who went back there?" She turned to ask me, eyes larger than ever.
"Some lady dressed all fancy. She snuffed me." I told her and took a sip of my drink. "Aish. Not again." She mumbled and stood up from the chair, walking into the back.
She soon came back out with the woman's purse and a sinister grin on her face. I followed her with my eyes as I watched the pissed girl open the front door and chunk the , most likely, expensive purse into a puddle.
The lady came bolting out as she did it and straight out the door, collecting her things. Juniper closed the door and locked it, smiling through the glass window at the lady.
"Who was that?" I let my curiosity best me.
"My aunt." She replied and smiled, sitting next to me again and falling right back to sleep.
