Park Jimin.

D-6, 7th October 2017.

"Can I get your order?" Jimin asked the customer that stood by the counter, looking at the menu. His life has been going great so far. It's been a year and he had finally sunk everything in. He was now back on his toes working at the restaurant where the seven of them last ate at that night n Busan, his favourite restaurant. He was also staying in the same house as the owner of the shop, Mrs. Shin, who was living alone. He cherished her like his own mother and she cherished him like her own son. They had gotten way closer over the years that had missed and he had shared his whole story with her. He still felt uncomfortable staying at her house without contributing anything to pay the monthly rental pay but she reassured him too many times that it was okay and he was slowly trying to not feel bad. The customer made their order as Jimin keyed in their order into the cashier as they paid for their meal before they sat down at their desired seat. The queue in the shop had rather been quite long ever since Jimin started working and nearly most of them were school girls.

"Yah, thanks to you for being so good looking, we are getting more income," Mrs. Shin said as Jimin chuckled before shaking his head.

"Eii, I doubt so. There are so many ahjussis here that looks interested in you too. Go pick one," Jimin replied before getting tickled by Mrs. Shin, "Aigoooo, what rubbish are you talking".

She went back behind the counter, blushing at Jimin's remarks, and Jimin just laughed it off, thinking it was cute of her still being shy every time Jimin mentioned about someone staring at her. He really hoped for her to get married soon by someone who would respect her as much as he does. He got back to the counter as he got the orders of the other customers and doing all the cashiering jobs. Every once in a while, one of the few girls on the queue would shyly told him that he was good looking before ordering their meal. Jimin was shy but he slowly started to feel more confident of himself. He was really getting better. The day continued to move slowly as customers begin to get lesser during the non-peak hours and he sat down on the stool and took a break, grabbing a drink from the fridge. It was the first time he sat ever since he started working this morning. He was either at the counter or helping out with washing the plates at the back.

"Hello," someone suddeny said, causing Jimin to jump a little from his seat startle. He then saw a man in a helmet with a small box on his hand. A deliveryman?

"Hi, how can I help you sir?" Jimin asked, placing his drink aside and stood in front of the cashier.

"Is there perhaps a person by the name of Park Jimin working here?" the person asked.

"Oh, that's me. Is there something wrong?" Jimin replied.

"Ah, here," he passed Jimin the small parcel that he was holding in his hand. Jimin looked at the parcel, checking who gave it to him but the sender's name, so as the sender's address, was empty.

The deliveryman continued his sentence, "can I order something here too?" Jimin nodded, placing the mystery parcel aside as he took the deliveryman's order. After the payment, he went behind to search for Mrs. Shin, asking if it was her who got for him something but she shook her head, leaving Jimin confused. Then who could've possibly gave this parcel to him? Jimin asked her if he could be excused for a while to open up the parcel and she let him, even allowing him to rest for a while, while he could before the peak hour strikes again. Jimin nodded and went up, thankful he could take his own time and rest.

He went up as he sat in his room that she had made for him as he went in and sat on his bed, placing the box in front of him. He then got up again and went to his table to grab a penknife to open the parcel. Once he opened the parcel, he saw another small, thin box with a light blue ribbon tied around it. He took the box out and opened it slowly, revealing a ring with a chain connected in it. A necklace? Jimin slowly took out the necklace before he held the ring that was hanging, noticing something was engraved on it.
