May 16th 

I woke up with a pounding headache that forced me to get out of my blankets to ready get for another work day. I checked myself in my vanity mirror and I was surprised from my bed hair and my baggy eyes. It took me a while for me to noticed that my necklace was yet again missing. 

"Where's my necklace. . ." I rubbed my head and sighed, "Ugh, I don't remember anything last night." I looked up at the clock and it read 7:00 AM. 

My phone started player Cypher 3 from my nightstand and I took my time to get to my phone. 

"H-hello. . .?" 

"Felicia, you sound like a zombie!" A voice burst straight at my ears. I winced in pain when the voice only made my headache worse. 

My head. . .

"Um, who's speaking. . .?" I asked. 

"It's Jin! Jin!" 

My face began to heat up from the name. I cleared my throat for I was a little embarrassed. 

"Are you feeling okay?" 

"Uh. . . I'm. . . my head. . . I drank a lot. . ." 

"Felicia, you know that's not good for you! Hahaha! I didn't even know you drink!" 

I felt like forever when I last had a conversation with him. I'm already missing him more than ever. 

"We're already on the plane to Japan." 

"I didn't get. . . to say goodbye." I frowned, regretting every moment I'd done since yesterday. 

"Don't worry about it! We felt bad not helping you during your dinner hours. So we're even now." 

"Okay. . ." I was anticipating for a question he might ask me which got me all nervous. 

"Um, during these past few weeks, I felt like you have been avoiding me." He voice sounded a whole lot serious. 

I knew he was going to say something like that. I scratched my arm and paused for a while, not knowing what to say. 

"I'm sorry, Jin. I-I. . . didn't mean to. It's just. . ." It was just Mei's threats against me. I was afraid of her. Should I tell Jin about Mei? Would he believe me? 

"Tell me. . ." 

I think it would be best to get it off my chest. "It's about Mei," I told about her threats toward me when I stayed near him and bad things would happen if I didn't listen. I tried not to slur my words because I was rushing the explanation.

"Felicia, you should have told me earlier!" He sounded angry over the line. 

"I'm sorry. . . I'm sorry." 

"I'm calling Mei-" 

"No! It's fine! Please. . . she's better not knowing. . ." I pleaded. I heard him sighing from the background of the noises. 

"If you say so. . . I won't let Mei hurt you again. If you ignore me one more time, I'll pinch you!" 

I laughed not knowing if he was serious or not. Jin laughed right after. 

"I'll call you later. I don't want you to miss work. Bye, Felicia~!" 

The way he said my name brought me to tears. "Bye." 

Jin's voice gave me hope and the motivation I needed for today. I smiled brightly at the light that passed through the curtains. After I freshen myself, I left my room while tying my hair into a ponytail. Arthur left his own room just when I did. 

"Good morning, Felicia!" He greeted first. 

"Good morning. . . Um, can you be a servant like always? If you don't mind?" 

"Sure! I like talking to people!"

"Also. . ." Before Arthur left my sight he stopped and turned back to me. "Have you seen my diamond necklace?" 

". . .No. I haven't." 

"Well, okay." I sighed silently. "Please, keep a look out for it. It means the world to me. . ." 

"No problem. . ." 

O~~~~~~~~O

Throughout the breakfast hours, it wasn't as crowded as it usually was which got me quite the panic attack. However, there was still a decent amount of people to actually call my place a restaurant. 

"Two strawberry crepes! One egg benedict!" Mei called out the orders as she placed the ticket on the counter. I had no choice but to reply to her order. "Got it." 

"Felicia!" A cheery voice called out to me. Just when I turned on the fry pans, a little blonde girl squeezed my legs that made me lose my balance for a second. 

"Josephine!" I exclaimed as I bend down to her height for a long hug. I was so happy to see her. I released her to take the time to stare into her blue eyes. 

"How are you, my little angel?" I ruffled her hair as she let out a giggle. 

"I'm good! I'm so glad to be here!" Her smile was so bright, I couldn't even tell if she was the sun or not. For some reason, her smile faded into thin air. I watched her stubby finger pointing at my collar of my pink chef coat. 

"Felicia! Your necklace is gone!" She looked like she was about to cry. I pouted and rubbed her head. 

"Oh. . . I misplaced it in my room somewhere, don't worry about it." Hopefully what I said was true. 

"Okay!" I watched her small hands rubbing her eyes together. She looked back at me with her same smile. "Goodbye!" She waved, leaving the kitchen. I got up to my feet and placed my hand on the spot where my necklace was on me. Just how did I lose it?

Breakfast ended on a good note. Most of my customers came out satisfied, yet a little disappointed without BTS. I finished making three plates of crepes for Mei, Arthur, and me. I eyed the empty chairs with only the plates and utensils and a jug of orange juice on the table. 

"Breakfast is ready. . ." I didn't have the motivation to call their names on the people I truly rather not be with. "Arthur, Mei? Your food will get cold. . . Jungkook will eat it if you don't hurry. . ." I let out a small laugh from the thought of Jungkook's obsession with crepes. 

There still wasn't a response and I decided to investigate the dining area since I last saw them there. The white long curtains were the entrance to the dining area as I took a small peak. I was able to find them together, luckily. But I still didn't know what they were doing. As I got a bit closer, I heard erotic sounds coming from Mei's voice. I was even more curious to find out what they were doing. I then noticed both of them were on the ground in a weird position.

"Arthur! You know I have a boyfriend~~!" She sounded like she was enjoying the situation. 

"Mei, you know you like it. . .." He purred. 

"That's true~" 

I finally worked my brain to find out what they were doing and immediately regretted my curiosity. I covered my mouth to keep myself from making sudden screams. Maybe it was just my eyes, after all, I drank a lot last night. 

I blushed even harder to hear their voices making more disturbing moaning sounds. Mei's was Jin's girlfriend. Why was she cheating on him?! What am I supposed to do? Just when I was about to pull my phone-

Haterdeureun manhji!

But no problem, I kill!

Nal mutgi wihae nae keorieoeda padaeneun sapjil-!

My heart exploded from my chest and I screamed. Cypher 3 started playing when I would receive a phone call. Such bad timing!

I met Arthur and Mei's eyes, widened with shocked. I used the time to quickly excuse myself to answer the phone. This was not good at all. My Lord, they saw me!
