▪️◾️WHY AFTER SO LONG◾️▪️

•You can listen to the calm music while reading 🎶

After cleaning up the kitchen of the restaurant she works at. she put her phone in her back pocket of her navy blue denim jeans and locked the restaurant. She put on her red hood as a cold breeze blows up the dark half empty street tossing her dark locks that were covering her eyes.

Walking home at night was not a big deal for Kyungsoo, she always enjoys night walks, it makes her feel relaxed and peaceful. For Kyungsoo it is a wonderful sensation, going out in the dark, and having the city gradually reveal itself. Working at night made her see this side of the city. She has no fear to stand in front of any danger, she knew how to defense herself very well.

on her way passing beside shops and looking in windows of the shops for a reflection of the streetlights as they were gently gleaming in the night. a warm fluffy blanket catched her attention that was placed neatly behind one of the window of the shop for sale. she stopped from walking and starred at the blanket from outside the shop 'I wish I could buy this for auntie, she would really love it' she thought.

Kyungsoo looked at the ground when she realized that she wouldn't be able to buy it. She continued to move forward but her thoughts makes it hard to leave.

she turned her head and glanced at the blanket once again 'trying our chance won't hurt right?' She muttered under her breath and walked to the glass front door of the shop. She gently pushed the door inward and stepped inside the shop which she welcomed with a warm air. It was so big and pretty fancy inside.

As she was looking in awe she saw a young lady coming towards her. She seemed to work there.

" welcome, how may I help you? "  She greeted her cheerfully.

Kyungsoo thanked her and asked the price of the blanket politely.

"this one is from France and it costs 30$ ,it's so fluffy with a good quality..."

she went on and on which made her feel dizzy and sleepy, she was worn out from working till eleven o'clock, but she didn't care since it was worth it. Deep down she knew that one day she will sit and be proud of those tiring days.

" So will you buy it?! "
Kyungsoo nearly jumped at her loud voice.

She smiled in embarrassment "s-sorry how much was it? "

The lady chuckled and said  "You're so cute It's 30$ "

Kyungsoo remained silent. it was pretty expensive for her, She reached her hand to the left pocket of her hoodie and brought out the money that She already collected it from selling her cakes and count it without caring that the lady was starring at her with a smile on her face.

In total kyungsoo had 34$. She could buy it but who will give them a meal for four dollars tomorrow? probably no one will do that.

Still Kyungsoo didn't give up and asked if she could pay a premium for it.

For a moment the lady was silent. She still had the soft expression on her face, but her eyes, there was a look of pity in her eyes.

" I'm so sorry that we cannot accept that, but i wish we could "

she must knew that Kyungsoo couldn't afford to buy the blanket. She couldn't do a thing since she was only a worker but to look at her with a sad smile. Kyungsoo didn't seem to have a clue what was she thinking.
