Ch.1

"Shit i'm going to be late!" I scream from the top of my lungs, running for the last 7 minutes. People keep giving me weird stares but I don't care about them. All my priority is to reach the coffee shop in time. I smile brightly still panting when I already see the big blue sign that says ' Sweet Coffee' My legs feel like their are burning and my lungs feel like they are going to malfunction but i had to keep moving because it will be my sorry ass that will suffer if I get kicked out of my apartment because I couldn't get a job and pay the rent.

Upon my arrival as I enter I can already feel the cool breeze of the air conditioner and smell the smell of coffee brewing. ' Oh yeah this is an awesome place to work in.' I think in my head feeling another smile creep up in my face.

" Hello! Welcome to Sweet Coffee how may I help you?" A young girl behind the counter asks me with a welcoming smile. I already know i'm gonna be perfect for the job if no one would mind my bright smiles.

" Hi, I wanted to apply for a job here" I say gulping down my saliva with hope in my eyes. She raised an eyebrow and looks at the mini laptop next to the cash register.

" Yeah....okay. Um can you fill out this paper work?" She asks handing me a piece of paper and a pen.

" Oh yes of course!" I quickly say taking the items.

" You can fill it on one of the tables, would you like to order anything? " She asks. At first I wasn't planning on ordering anything but since she asked....

" Uh yes. Can I have one order of Caramel macchiato?" I ask taking the money out of my pants. She pokes the keyboards of the cash register and a recite comes out.

" $3.95 please." She says her expression still welcoming. I give the cash when she hands me my drink and go to sit down on one of the tables near the window. As I drink my delicious macchiato I start working on the form.

Name: Jung Hoseok
Age: 18
Phone number: ***-***-****
ID number: *********
Parents/guardians?: Don't have any.

I find myself thinking of my late parents. I wish I could see them, hug them, and say I love you one more time.

Job filling?: Waiter

I wanted something simple to work with so I just put that. After 3 more minutes of filling and checking up everything and finishing my drink I stand up and give the form to girl.

" Done already?" She says taking the paper. " Okay, if we don't call you today please come tomorrow at 7: 00 pm for a quick interview and see how it goes. Here take this yellow ticket so that we know it have been invited." She smiles at me brightly again.

" Thanks a lot!" I say placing the ticket on my pockets. Ever since my parents died and I moved out of my Aunts house I have been supporting myself with part time jobs and living on a dorm with a roommate but after he decided to hardly pay, I moved to my own apartment to live by myself. I'll admit it's not the neatest but it's better than living with my roommate or aunt. Here I can have privacy all to myself and I don't have to get yelled at for somebody else's problem.

I unlock my door and go inside desperately taking off my clothes and throwing them on the floor to pick it up later. I spend the whole day just sitting on my couch watching some movies and TV shows. I made the usual, a cup of ramen. I went and took a hot shower, and slept in bed for another day tomorrow.

<><><>

My alarm clock blares with a loud annoying sound waking me up from my sleep. I take a look that time and realize how late I am. 7:39 pm.

" Oh my god no!" I yell jumping off the bed and immediately putting on any clothing not caring if it didn't match or if it was one of the dirty clothes. I run another 7 minutes before reaching the Coffee shop but this time faster. I was so mad! I look like an idiot with my hair all up and these old clothes that don't even match. At least they weren't the dirty ones. As I enter the shop which is about to close I go up to the counter to find a different girl from last time. Unlike the other who had a welcoming smile this one has an irritated frown. She looks mean and impatient and I just hoped she would give me the time of day.

" Hello excuse I'm here for a Job interview?"

She looks at the laptop screen.

" I don't see anything were you invited?

"Yes! I was." I say and search my back pockets for the yellow ticket. Okay it's not in this pocket let me search the other. Not here either.....let me search my front pockets then. I search my pockets desperately with an impatient girl glaring at me and I still can't find that ticket. Oh no! it is inside my other pants.

" Sir, If you don't have a ticket can you please move along? I have a line waiting." She snaps and look up at her pleading.

" I seem to have left my ticket at-"

" If you can't provide a ticket please leave. The interview is almost over so don't bother to come back if you actually have a ticket." She interrupts me coldly. " Next!"

I walk away feeling defeated. Now I need to come another day or search for another job that is near my apartment. God if I didn't overslept! Why does bad things always happen to me? I sigh putting my hands inside my pockets. I needed to go home and find another job just in case the coffee shop doesn't give me another chance. As I walk around to my building I see a man wearing all black running at a dangerous rapid speed and he snatches a woman's purse. He was going to get away with it too but makes the wrong decision by running my way. Just as he was near me I quickly stopped him, tripping him on the floor when I pulled my leg out but it didn't stop there. The man got mad and started to punch me but when I was younger my dad signed me up for martial arts and I am flexible enough for dance too, so those two activities fitted well together.

With the skills that I learned in the club I am able to defeat this person, no sweat. He kept on trying to attack me and I dodge all of them. The crowd starts to cheer until I defeat the man and take the purse away from him. I give it to the lady who smiles and blesses me. I let the people do what they want with the man.

I whistle away on my walk home again when suddenly two buff and tall man wearing black suits and little radio ear phones stops me and I accidentally bump into one of them. " Excise me sir." I say trying not to get myself in trouble with these scary men.

Again I try to walk along but they get in my way again this time more males standing in my way as I gulp nervously.
