Kim Dahyun's POV

Something's blinding my eyes as I slowly opened them. A ray of sunshine gave me a warm greeting as soon as I opened my eyes. I groaned. My head was still spinning and felt kind of dizzy. It was because I slept real late last night.

I landed my head back on the pillow, unable to hold the urge of my heavy eyelids. My eyes flickered to the clock on the wall.

It was only 7.45 a.m. still early.... Huh?

I bolted upright. 7.45?! My body reacted right away as I dashed to the bathroom as fast as I could. How could I don't remember? Today I had my part-time work to do. Why did I act so casually and why did I even bother to watch a full series of drama last night.

In another 10 minutes, I had myself struggling in front of a big full mirror to comb my hair so that it didn't look like I was in a rush to do it. Quickly, I flung on my bag after I had put on my cardigan and ran straight for the door.

Before I get outside, my eyes caught a sight of my cap. I grabbed it and put it on my head just to cover my undone hair. This should do it well enough.

I opened the front door and slammed it shut before running full speed to the JH cafe. My eyes flickered again to my watch. 7.55 a.m.

My legs took a sprint and when I turned around the corner, I bumped with someone who was walking leisurely by the roadside and she was practically shoved forward.

"Sorry." I said short but precise and continued my rushing. I could hear her swore at me but I didn't care much.

When my watch let out a beep, letting I knew that it was already 8.00 a.m. I sprinted as a nice cozy looking cafe greeted my view when I turned around the corner.

"So what's the problem today? You arrive at 8.03 a.m. it's a rare case." Momo greeted me with a warm smile creeped on her face. I shrugged.

"You know, sleep real late, and when I awake the next morning, poof! It's already 7.45."

She arched her brows. "You just can't seem to relax a bit." JH cafe opened exactly at 8.30 a.m. but we needed to be at work at 8.00 a.m. so basically I was late. I rolled my eyes.

"Time is gold and---"

"Okay okay whatever with your old-fashioned quote, I've heard it enough." She cut me and I pouted at her.

"Damn." I muttered but it was loud enough to know she could hear it well considering the fact that she was laughing out loud.

"Alrighto! Back to the work!"

At 8.35 a.m. we received the first jingle of the bell. I bolted right away to him. He was handsome with his fair complexion, smooth skin, sleek black hair and red lips. I could tell that much by just looking at him for the first few minutes.

He flashed me a smile as I guided him to his seat.

"What would you like to order?" I asked, trying hard not to stare at his face. Well, you couldn't resist yourself from stealing a glance or two at pretty boy, right?

He went through the menu in one take and ordered a cup of Americano. I wrote down his order and slightly bowed before making my way to the kitchen.

My day went just right except the fact that I woke up late this morning.

It went real fast and my shift ended. I said goodbye to Momo and the others before putting back my cap on my head. It was already late by then and I knew it just from observing the slowly changing sky.

I quickened my pace to my house and tried to ignore the darkened day around me. My head was kind of creative in creating unnecessary imaginations for me like what if a man suddenly appeared and shoved out a knife or what if a tinted van pulled up and kidnapped me? It would make a great headline later on.

I quickly shook my head, regretting my way too creative mind in this state. Usually, I would go home early than 6.30 p.m but today I was too engrossed in talking with Momo that I didn't realize time drift too fast.

"Faster, faster." I whispered to myself as I let my two legs did their work.

Prakk.. I stopped dead in my track as my ears caught some muffled noise and a breaking twigs from nearby. My legs wobbled but I continued my steps more cautiously. As I turned around the corner, it was really deserted and I didn't see anyone other than a woman who was desperately struggling with a masked man.

From the looks of it, he was trying to snatch her purse away but she tried so hard to protect it. He had his right hand covering her mouth and his other hand trying hard to get her purse. I couldn't blink. What should I do now? Quickly, I grabbed my phone and made an emergency call.

I suddenly got a tremor in my hands and I started pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what I should do before the cops arrived.

"Arghhh!!"

My shoulders jerked up from the sudden bloodcurdling scream. I peeped again to see what the hell was going on and I nearly got my eyes out from their sockets when I saw how the masked man slashed her arm.

Red blood splattered around, making an indiscriminate pattern on the road. I shook and pity took over my feeling. Before I could think what I was doing, I got out frok my hiding, legs wobbling.

"Hey!! Get your filthy hands off the woman!" I shouted, surprised by my own action. His head snapped at my direction and I could tell he was shocked to see me.

As fast as lightning, he snatched the purse and made a run. I gave him a chase and thanks to my athletic legs, I managed to reduce the gap between us. What I made me regret my brave action was when we stucked at the dead end and he blocked the exit, leaving no room for me to make an escape.

I stepped backwards and when my back hit the cold brick of a building trapping us, I swore under my breathe.

"Damn you old short-legged grandpa." I muttered, out of breathe. He smirked before pulling out something.

"Wanna play?" He asked, showing me his sharp , glistening knife. I gulped. I'm dead.
