It was further than I remember, almost taking me an hour to even reach the place. I thank the taxi driver giving him the fee. He dropped me off close to the area and in the distance was a small crowd and the ruins of the collapse building with barriers dividing the two.

 I arrived in the crowd to  see added commotion that draws their attention bright red fire trucks, the sirens flashing, stained yellow construction equipment parked and a bunch of people in red coats scavenging through the mess.

Is this what's left?

I look around, gazing on the broken building that was shattered into pieces but not burned rather like a hellish storm wrecked it. It looks broken. Nothing standing.

"They say it wasn't accident." From afar two middle aged women gossip while looking at the disaster ahead. I stand close behind them trying to eavesdrop without making it too obvious.

"I heard that too, of course it's those hoodlums who else can make a mess like this?" The lady was smaller compared the other but had much more of a loud confidence that projects her voice clearly as she complains.

"Keep your voice down someone might hear you!" The other lady look round and I shift my eyes trying to pretend I was look somewhere else. But the smaller loud lady smacks her friend catching her attention back at her.

"Oh everyone know it, what they got against a little old lady like me saying what everyone knows already, besides I'm moving out of this district." The lady bragged. They both went on there way, gossiping as they leave the scene, minding their own business. I stare blankly in front but in that moment a officer came to the crowd shoo-ing us away.

I walk down the street and it was empty compared to the inner city. Although it was a pretty place that had houses and occasional shops. Maybe I should get something it is after all a long way back.

I head to a small corner café that seems fairly empty with only a handful of people there.

I order a regular coffee and a snack along with it (or whatever you like I'll leave that up to your imagination cx). I sit near a window waiting for my order. Meanwhile I was taking in the beautiful town that I was in; it was ordinary but kept a certain enchanting look to it. The smell of coffee brewing and the morning sunlight kissing down on me eased me into my surroundings, yet it reminds me of home. Just then the waiter comes with my order placing them down and I could help but ask her about the accident since it was close by.

"Excuse me do you happen to know what happened down the street I notice there was lot of commotion over there. " I gently end. The waiter looked uncomfortable but smiled back at me then  stared outside before she answered.

"Oh, I'm not sure, I think I heard it was a gas leak or something that destroyed the building." She replied calmly and left with a smile, returning her the smile. I ate the small course and head back to the apartments. I Look at the GPS on my phone trying to find my way back but ended up getting lost. I wonder the street of this town and found myself in a park looking at the small pond. I sat near in a bench sipping onto the last of my coffee. I stare at my coffee cup in my hand. Maybe I should call work, Let them know- "Hey" A voice called out, snapping me from my thoughts. I turn from the pond to beside me, it was a man who looks around the same age as me.

"You left your bag at the Café and I couldn't find you until I saw you here." He had a cheerful smile and a smooth tone to his voice. I look at my bag then to the guy , quickly thanking him before getting my bag.

"Thank You so much I didn't realize I forgot it " I smiled at him overjoyed at the item that I so clumsily forgotten. "Your welcome but um may I ask your name?" His sudden question caught me tonged tied I tried to nervously laugh it off but he looked deeper into my eye awaiting my reply.

"(L/N) (Y/N) nice to meet you" I reply happily, trying to not be awkward. 

"That's a beautiful name. I'm Park Jimin" He bowed flashing his bright smile. "Well it was nice meeting you (Y/N ) hope to see you around." He finished off joyful. He had a charismatic smile and seemed polite, I  wonder if that how everyone was around, nothing like the place I  would imagine for a club to be in.

I put my bag on and sat down to make sure I wouldn't leave it behind again. I wonder back into my thoughts, going back the idea of going to work.

--------------------------

I enter the café on where I work, It still looks the same but feels different. I think it was the right choice to work rather than stay home. I can't stand on seeing the empty rooms the looming loneliness reminding me that everyone isn't here. It was suffocating. No one has called or even message not even Hyungsik.

"Hey! You're back" One of my coworkers- EunTak-  yells out as I log in my hours . "Yeah I'm back" I said while smiling brightly trying to mask all the painful thoughts. I look around to see that it was only her and an other of my co-worker managing the store. "Why are you guys so short on staff- where Sunhee and- " I paused. Minho wasn't at work the last time I saw him was at that club. I panic on remembering all the atrocities that occurred. "Where's Minho!" I grab onto EunTak arm who just seemed surprised, speechless.

 "He's in the hospital, he's got hurt at one of his part time jobs  ." Taemin, my other co-worker called out. My chest tighten making me swallow the fear, my face felt drained of its color."Don't worry he's okay he should be discharge sometime this week" Taemin playfully messing my hair with his hand. I sigh in relief letting out the trapped air but felt the fear still remain the same.  EunTak looked at both of us confused.

"Remember how clumsy that Pabo can be" Taemin added, smiling at me which help comfort me but I was still worried about Minho. "wAhhh I didn't know I thought he had a hangover or something " EunTak was lost in which me and Taemin to  just laughed to her reaction. Causing the attention of our manager scolding  us, calling us out to get back to work. We quickly dissolve our little circle and I stiffly  return to my post at the cashier.
