She Knew Being Alone Would Be A Struggle

Chapter 2

I arrived home and put on my uniform. I had to put on my white button up and my black jeans. I still had my converse on. I grabbed my name tag and keys. I jumped in my car and drove off.

10 minutes later

I got out of my car and walked up to the store. The automatic doors opened and i went inside. I went into the office and clocked in. I put on my ugly green vest and went to see what i was working today. I looked at the white board and saw that i was working the shelves today. Grrrreat. I went out to go restack toilet paper and canned foods. I let my mind wonder as i finished stacking the stupid toilet paper. I stood up and began to walk away. Suddenly i heard kids laughing. They ran by the toilet paper. One of the kids was in front of the other. I watched the kid as he threw the toilet paper down. All of the toilet paper fell from the shelf. Anger rose up. I bit my tongue as i walked over and began stacking again. I was so mad that i hit my hand on the shelf causing blood to appear. I finished stacking and went to the bathroom. I wrapped my hand with a bandage. As i finished wrapping my hand i got a text message. I took a look at my phone. It was mark he texted me saying "noona when are you coming?" I was older than mark but younger than taeyong by a year. "I will be there soon mark. I'm still working." I replied. "How much longer noona?" He asked. "About 4 hours :(," i replied again. "Okay! See you soon noona!" Mark was so cheerful.

He was the mood maker. He made me smile a lot. He is such a precious joy. When i was feeling down he comforted me. Along with jaehyun and doyoung. Taeil oppa was really timid most of the time. I tell him to relax and that its okay to be awkward. But when he came out of his shell he was the funniest and funnest person ever. They were like a family i never had but wish i did. Knock! Knock! Knock! "Alex! Are you in there?! Can you hurry the hell up?! I need you to cover a register!" Yelled my boss john. He was such a dick all the time. I got used to it that it didn't even bother me anymore. I came out of the bathroom with a bandage on my left hand. "Its about time you got your ass out of the bathroom! You think i am paying you to be lazy?!" He yelled. "No," i said. "Good now be a good girl and go cover that register," he said as he grabbed my waist. I grabbed his hand and threw it down. "Don't touch me," i said in a mean tone. "Alright geez," he said.

I got over to the register and began checking things out and bagging groceries at the same time. It was pretty hard to do with a hurt hand. I kept glancing at the clock watching every minute tick by. I still had 2 in a half hours left. "Damn can the time go faster? That would be great." I thought to myself. I got lost in scanning groceries.

I glanced up at the clock i had 5 minutes left. I headed toward the office to check out. I scanned my time card. I gathered my things and walked out the door. Ring! Ring! Ring! I looked at my phone it was mark. "Hello?" I said. "Alex! Noona! Are you coming?" Mark asked. "Yes i will be there in a few okay?" "Okay! Hurry taeyong hyung is getting mad." "Okay i will be there as soon as i can!" I said as in buckled my seat belt. I hung up the phone and took off.

I thought to myself,"Looks like taeyong is gonna give me a hard time today. If only he knew my feelings toward him. And how it hurts seeing how rude he is to me." I drove off.
