|03| boys are little shits

"See you at work... Lilo."

I still don't understand what's going on, that guy is an enigma to the core.

Why hire the person who yelled at you and threw paper in your face? Is this a prank? Something has to be up...

"And then he dumped me because he said I wasn't skinny enough! Me! I mean okay— I might have put a bit of weight on the thighs just jheeze not all of us can look like IU, you know?"

"Uh Huh..." I nod and run the tongs along Mina's damp hair, sitting on her bed while she kneels on the floor. Coming over to each others house to groom and gossip had been out thing since we were kids, I always enjoyed these times. They were a good escape from responsibilities.

Mina huffs and jabs her arms together.

"Well whatever, he wasn't that cute anyway. I swear, boys are little shits."

"You can say that again... Oh wait, speaking of rotten boys, did I tell you I start my first day of work tomorrow?"

She jumps and quickly spins around, almost making me burn myself.

"Wait what?! At the cafe? Congrats, I knew you could do it!"

"T-thanks. They must be really short on staff. As long as I get the money for my dad, I'm not complaining. The pay there is surprisingly really good." I turn off the tongs. "Almost too good. Way more than a waitress should get."

Mina gets up and grabs a water bottle. "Don't complain just take it. Heck, maybe I should apply there. Did you catch the guys name?"

"Uh, yeah he said it was something like Kim Taehyung—"

She spits her water all over me, leading me to cringe before plastering a sarcastic smile and pinching my hair. "Great, thanks for the spit."

Mina runs over to me and grips my shoulders firmly,

"Your boss... Is Kim Taehyung?" She asks. I look around and shrug whilst nodding cluelessly. "Why, you know him?"

"Dude everyone knows him!" She releases me, "Well knows of him. He's that insanely good looking guy that all the girls in school goes to the cafe JUST to get a glance at."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"I didn't know it was that cafe! I've never gone to see him myself, but I hear he's deadly gorgeous. He must have moved, that cafe was only opened there recently. I wouldn't want to be you, all the girls at school are going to hate you now."

"Then it's a good thing this is our last year there." I sigh. "Damn, all I wanted was a lowkey job with decent pay. If all the girls in school are so obsessed with him why don't they just work there too?"

"Apparently it's super hard to get a job there, the owner is strict on who he hires."

Is that so... I find that hard to believe.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ 🌸

It's my first day of work and I'm excited but nervous. I've never made a coffee in my life let alone serving orders to an entire store. I'll just have to wing whatever is thrown at me.

I enter the cafe in formal casual wear, whatever that means, and look around the empty diner.

"Um... Hello? Anyone?" After about 30 seconds I hear slow footsteps. Taehyung emerges with messy hair, a baggy t-shirt, lazy sweatpants and slippers. Judging by his half-open eyes he has just woken up.

"I was taking a nap." He says is a deep raspy voice. I raise my eyebrow and check the time on my phone. "...But the cafe opens in almost 15 minutes..."

"So?"

"Well I don't think... Forget it." Obviously he doesn't take his job seriously, and unless I'm getting paid extra I shouldn't either.

Then I take the contract out of my bag and hand it back to him. He takes the papers and turns his back. "You can call me Mr Kim now."

"Pshk, yeah right. How old even are you, Mr Kim?"

"Is that any of you're business?"

"No but..."

He turns to face me for a brief moment, "19."  Before exiting the room.

"Wait, you haven't even told me what I'm supposed to do yet!"

"The girls will help you later." He yawns from the kitchen, the door shuts right after.

I don't even know my way around this place, or how to waitress for that matter. And who are the girls?

I look around and awkwardly just start unstacking chairs that are on the tables.

Once I finish unstacking the chairs Taehyung comes back in a smart blue dress shirt and pants, looking smartly dressed and a little more awake. He holds a pink box out for me.

"Here. You gotta change into this if you want to work here."

"I... gotta wear a uniform?"

He stares at me and then rolls his eyes.

"You can't work here looking like that."

"Listen you—!" Before I can go further, he tosses the box at me and I catch it as it slams against my chest. A faint growl escapes my lips, wanting nothing more than to throw the box back at his block head.

We hear the little bell ring at the door and both turn to see it open. This must be "the girls", right?
