As usual, Kang Yujin arrived her parttime job early. She changed into the cafe uniform and finished off with wearing an apron. Yujin stepped out of the changing room and walked into her manager's office. She knocked on the door and he allowed her inside. You saw a guy sitting on a chair with his back facing her.
"Manager nim, you wanted to see me?" Yujin politely asked.
"Ah, Yujin shii. You reached here just in time. I want you to meet our new staff that you will be teaching him a little later," The manager said with a smile.
The guy turned around with his chair and folded legs. As soon as she saw who it was, her eyes widened in surprise and asked,"Jeon Jungkook shii..are you..?"
"Hi. I'll be the new staff in this cafe. I hope we will have a nice time working together," Jungkook smiled playfully.
"Ah...you knew Kookie?" The manager asked although both of them knew each other.
"..Kookie..?" Yujin repeated his nickname.
"Kookie here is my cousin," The manager put his hand on his shoulder.
"Your cousin?" Yujin raised one eyebrow and finally understood.
Both of them smiled towards Yujin innocently. Yujin just gave a small smile but gave a small sigh at the same time.

After teaching the basic working skills, Yujin went to do her work. Jungkook on the other hand, watched her working with dreamy eyes. His cousin saw what he was doing and nudged him & said,"Yah. Why aren't you doing your work?"
"..I..am..doing..," Jungkook said while wiping the cleaned table and at the same time, watching Yujin.
"If you keep staring at her during working hours, I will have to fire you," His cousin playfully threatened him.
Hearing that, Jungkook turned to him and said,"But I'm doing my work. See?"
"Basically you are just cleaning the cleaned table. If you want to help her, you better work your butt off," His cousin said firmly.
Before he could reply, a customer called a waiter. His cousin nudged him and asked him to take orders from the customer. Jungkook unwillingly walked over. Yujin saw his posture and called him before he reached the table. When he heard her voice, he turned around excitedly, wanted to know what she wants.
"Jungkook shii, before you head to the customers, you need to stand up straight. Don't slouch," Yujin taught him by adjusting his posture.
Upon listening to that, his expression changed and did whatever she asked. He was about to approach the table when she stopped him again. Yujin stood in front of him and said with a smile,"Don't forget to always smile."
"Right..Smile..,"Jungkook curved a forced smile which satisfied her.
Yujin watched him served the customer with a smile. The manager stood beside her and whispered,"He sure has a great smile, wouldn't he?"
"Yeah," Yujin agreed with a smile.
"And that was why you should just make him your boyfriend," The manager tried to help Jungkook out.
When she heard that, her eyes widened and turned to her manager,"W..What?"
"Make him your boyfriend," The manager repeated his sentence slowly.
"No," Yujin firmly answered him.
"No...? Wae?" The manager looked confused.
"The answer is just no," Yujin said again and went back to serving the next customer.
The manager watched her and thought *Heol~It's no wonder Kookie likes her..She's not any typical girl that he had encountered before.*
======
Their work ended and the cafe closed their opening hours. Yujin went to get changed and decided to go home. Meanwhile Jungkook had waited for her outside the cafe, leaning against the glass window. The glass door swung opened and Jungkook stood up and suavely turned to the door while saying,"Wanna go home together?"
But the one who answered had a weird voice,"Oh sure, Kookie ah~"
*Kookie..?* Jungkook raised one eyebrow and looked to the person beside him.
His cousin waved girly but burst out laughing when he saw his face. Jungkook facepalmed his forehead and said,"Hyung?!"
"Kookie ah~let's go home together," He was still in his girly role.
"It's not funny okay,"Jungkook pretended to get angry with his cousin.
His cousin then hugged him jokingly and he tried to resist. Unknowingly, Yujin stepped out of the cafe and saw their brotherly relationship which includes the part where his cousin planted a kiss on his cheek (jokingly of course! XD). Both Jungkook and his cousin aka the manager of the cafe stopped whatever they were doing after they saw a pair of shoes and the owner of the shoes. They quickly pulled away and pretended that nothing had happened. Jungkook cleared his throat and asked with flustered look,"Hey, wanna go home together?"
"Umm..it's okay. I can get home by myself. You guys can continue..whatever you guys were doing..," Yujin referred to their amicable relationship.
They knew what she meant and Jungkook quickly denied and hinted for his cousin to go away. His cousin caught his hint and left them both alone. Yujin then walked first followed by Jungkook. Along the way, they were just being silence to one another till Jungkook broke the silence by asking a topic,"So..tomorrow you'll be coming down to tutor me, am I right?"
Yujin nodded while facing the front. Jungkook tried again and continued,"Do you remember the other day...I confessed to you?"
"...That? Yeah..," She replied without facing him.
Jungkook waited for her to say something more but only silence filled the air after the brief reply. Jungkook then opened his mouth again and asked,"And?"
"And what..?" Yujin sounded confused at his question.
"Do you have the same feelings for me?" Jungkook bravely asked.
Yujin stopped her tracks which made him stopped too. But she still did not face him and answered,"No."
She then continued walking, followed by Jungkook who felt slightly upset by her answer. They then stopped at the busstop and sat while waiting for the bus to arrive. Jungkook sat a little far from her due to the answer he got earlier on. Then his phone rang and he went to pick up his call.
Just then, two drunkard men approached Yujin and suddenly touched her arms and shoulders which made her surprised and uncomfortable. She tried to shake it off but the two drunkard men kept pestering her. She got up to stay away from them but they stopped her by grabbing her wrist.
Jungkook who took a glance and saw what just happened. He was about to hang up his phone when he saw something unbelievable happened.
