Coffee shop

Im Jaebum works at a Coffee shop. Not because he likes coffee, he hates it, to him it tastes like mud which is also what it looks like in his eyes. The only reason he agree to working there is becuase it's approximately 7 minutes away.

There is almost nothing that he likes about that place. He hates the smell of coffee and he hates standing up for hours doing coffee to some angry man named something he doesn't know how to spell.

He stands there day in, day out, giving out drinks to mostly rude customers who are late to their work. Men in suits, snobby ladies who keep their dogs in their purses (which also makes everyone have an allergic reaction, which pisses everyone off even more.)

Jaebum hates standing there listening to very bad over played pop-music.
hopfully, he'll get out of that coffee shop soon.

Sometimes, just sometimes, some cute girl will try to flirt with him, it makes him feel uncomfortable so he of course denies them, kindly. Like a kind human being but, naturally, they get pissed of anyway. Stupid people are everywhere is usually what he thinks when these things happen.

Jaebum denies them because he isn't straight, he's gay. His parents kicked him out because of his sexuality which is why he works in that damn coffee shop. He's been living on his own for almost a year and he's still struggling to pay the rent.

All he wants is something different. Something peculiar.

"Oi JB, it's time for our break come on, let's eat lunch!" Jaebum heard behind him. It was his friend, Jackson, he was one of the few people in the entire shop who's actually fun to talk to. Jackson was also the one who persuaded him to work at the coffee shop.

"okay hold on." He said in response and asked one of his other colleague to take care of the customer in line.

"Sooo, what do you wanna eat?" Jackson was always in a good mood, which also put Jaebum himself in a better mood.

"I don't know," Jaebum said casually." "i'll take whatever you take."

Jackson took another look in the coffee shop's refrigerator.

"Okay Ramen it is."
He took out the Ramen and put the food into the microwave and leaned against the fridge, pushing his blonde hair back as he always does.

"Oh by the way, JB, someone new is starting tomorrow. Did you know?" Jackson asked the older man.

"No, do you know their name?" Jaebum liked when new people started the coffee shop. Hopefully they'll be nice. He thought to himself.

"Yes, Kim Yugyeom. He's a bit younger than us but i got a feeling he's a cool guy." He said in response.

"Yea, hopefully."

Jackson talked a lot. Jaebum didn't mind. He didn't even mind when his friend starts talking about stuff he hates becuase he can see how much Jackson enjoy talking about it. So he just listen patiently. Without Jaebum's notice, he was spacing out again.

"Hey. Hey?"
Jackson clapped his hands in front of Jaebum's face, catching his attention.
"What?" Jaebum's tone sounded slightly annoyed.
Which he was.

"We need to get back to work now, come on."

Jaebum let out a loud sigh.

"Yeah I know, sigh sigh, buhu, let's go."
Jaebum glanced at Jackson who was stupidly grinning back at him.

The streets were empty when Jaebum was on his way back from work. The only light was the small street light. One of them kept flickering which sent shivers down Jaebum's spine.

Jackson had asked him to help with the cleaning and as the good hyung he is, he stayed.

Okay, he didn't stay because he wanted to help. His boss made him. His boss' name was Namjoon. He was nice but harsch when he needed to and Jaebum respected him.

Jaebum lived in a small apartment. The living room and kitchen was connected. The living room is also the bedroom, he didn't like his apartment but it was all he could afford. He needs to get a real job but growing up is way to scary to even try.

I wonder how this new kid will be, he thought. Jaebum liked all of his colleagues and he  also loved when new people started working there. All of his colleagues had the same thoughts on the customers, that they were all pissed off bussiness men. The people at the coffee shop was the only people he knew in town but of course, Jaebum didn't complain about this.

He was tired when he got home. Too tired to even make something small to eat. Jaebum just headed right to bed after another long annoying day at the coffee shop.
