The very next morning, Yujin woke up while stretching her arms and legs. She sat up and looked towards the window while suddenly thinking about last night. She smiled to herself and still could not believe that she had went to her very first party. Just then, her phone vibrated and she opened the text message that she received.
"Good morning~ How are you today?" Jungkook texted.
She went to reply his message and hit sent. On the other side, Jungkook was impatiently waiting for her reply. He bit his bottom lip and held his phone tightly. A while later, his phone vibrated and he looked elated to receive a reply. He quickly opened it and read the message sent by her.
"Good morning. I'm good," She bluntly replied.
He frowned when he read the message and muttered to himself, feeling upset,"That's all? Not asking me how am I or something..?"
He put down his phone and sighed. He looked up to his ceiling while lying down on his bed.
"...Maybe she's still not attracted to me...yet...," Jungkook guessed while sighing again.
========
Back to Kang Yujin.
She went to get ready for her 1st job - clothing shop where she sewed clothes. Yujin got herself ready to go for work when she received a call from her 2nd job. She picked up the call and her manager was frantically saying through the phone,"Yujin shii?"
"Yes?" Yujin answered.
"Yujin shii, I need your help. We are short of staff today. Can you help me cover one of the staff whose not on duty today?" The manager asked for help.
"Umm...I could but I can't. I have to go for my first job today. They are short of staff too..," She felt guilty.
"Really?...Ottokae..," She could hear her manager's panic voice.
Then he continued,"How about this? You just go for your 1st job first. Then during lunch time, you go to my cafe to help with the rush hour. And after that, you can go back to your 1st job after lunch hour," The manager suggested.
"Well...Okay..," Yujin just agreed, feeling guilty if she did not help.
"Great! I'll see you during lunch!" The manager hung up to attend to the customers.
After the call was hung up, Yujin looked at her watch and went to rush over to the clothing store.
======
Upon reaching the clothing store, Yujin went over to her sewing machine and sewed a few pieces of cloth to make a dress that needed to be tailored for a special event. Her colleagues knew about her 2nd job and allowed her to go off by noon. But one of her colleagues was concerned by her health. Yujin had been coughing ever since she came for work.
"Yujin ah, are you sure you're okay? You looked sick," One of her colleagues asked.
"Yeah..Just a few coughs. Don't worry. After I took a few tablets, I'll be fine," She reassured her.
"You know...if you're unable to work, tell us alright? We can manage," Another colleague told her.
"Okay. Thank you," She managed to smile by their sincere help.
Soon, it was her lunch time. She ate a few of her lunch before setting off to her 2nd job. She hurriedly ate her food and quickly walked off after saying goodbye. Her colleagues watched her rushing off and pitied her.
"I pity her," One of her colleagues sighed.
"I hope she'll be okay," Another said.
=======
When she reached the cafe, the manager was glad to see her. She quickly changed into her uniform and started to work straight by serving the customers. She smiled all the way even though she felt tired and slightly feverish. The manager was impressed by her work and approached her when she went into the kitchen.
"Hey Yujin shii. Good work. It looks like everything went off smoothly thanks to you," The manager smiled proudly at her.
She gave a small smile and coughed slightly. The manager looked at her worriedly and asked,"Are you okay?"
"...Yeah..," Yujin answered briefly.
Just then, someone came into the kitchen and was happy to see her.
"Yujin shii, you're working today?" Jungkook asked.
"She wasn't suppose to work today but I need her help because one of the staff suddenly had an emergency," The manager aka his cousin told him.
"Ah...okay," Jungkook nodded but he saw the look on her face.
Without hesitation, he placed his hand on her forehead and it felt hot.
"Are you having fever?" Jungkook asked worriedly.
"...It's just a mild fever. I'll be okay after I take some tablets," Yujin said to him.
"This is not mild. This is high fever. We need to get you to a clinic," Jungkook said with concern.
"I'll be okay," She insisted firmly.
She placed the food on her tray and continued to serve the guests. Jungkook watched her with a worried look and said to his cousin,"She's stubborn, isn't she?"
"Stubborn as a mule..," His cousin sighed and placed his hand on his shoulder while saying,"And you, Kookie ah. Hurry up and do your shift."
"...Yes..boss," Jungkook saluted and wore his apron.
After her shift ended, she went to the changing room. She hurriedly changed to go to her 1st job. She looked at her watch and muttered,"A few hours and I will be done."
She walked out from the changing room and found Jungkook leaning against the wall.
"You're done?" Jungkook straightened himself up.
"Aren't you suppose to work?" She asked.
"Yes. But I have an important thing to do," Jungkook said.
"Okay. I'll go first then," Yujin took a step forward but her wrist was being grabbed by him.
"Oh no...you don't. You're coming with me..to a clinic to check on your fever," Jungkook pulled her hand and led her to his motor.
Yujin just followed him while she tried to let his grip go.
