The girl quickly entered the café in a mess. She hadn't had time to change out of her uniform. There, she saw her manager having trouble attending to the customers, and was too busy to even argue.

"What are you standing there for? Get your apron!!" The manager hissed when she saw the clumbsy girl. She was clearly pissed with her late arrival but she didn't have time to waste. Many customers were already complaining. Jisoo bowed twice with an apology each and quickly stood behind the counter while putting on her apron, then hurriedly attended to the impatient customer waiting for her at the counter.

The last thing Jisoo wanted was to be late for the only job she had. She was lucky that this was the first time. A few months ago, Jisoo had literally begged the manager to hire her for a part-time job. The cranky manager only felt pity for her, and saw how she could lure more customers with her looks, hiring her in the end without much consideration. The whole time Jisoo was doing her job, worry filled her mind. Will I get fired after this? Was what she kept thinking about. It could be seen on her face, but she still kept it in and gave every customer an assuring smile. She did not want to ruin anyone's mood just because of her ownself. That could also get her fired too. There would always be more people coming to the café to get something to drink after the peak hours, even for romantic dates, their café could hold many themes so it was quite popular.

After an exhausting day with people jostling in and out, babies crying and a bunch of noise made by chatterings, the café was finally good to close up. Jisoo waited patiently for the last person, while he took a last sip of his coffee and took a step out of the door, the doorbell ringing then. She began to stack up the chairs after wiping tables, not knowing the heavy breathing getting stronger behind her. Her manager came closer and patted her on the shoulder.

"Jisoo-yah, keep it up. You worked hard today. Just don't be late next time." After the talk, her manager vanished into the pantry.
Jisoo couldn't believe her ears, the manager not only had not fired her, but also praised her meaningfully. Now, she could go home and rest without much worry. After all, this was the only job she had to keep herself alive. She had to admit that she depended alot on it, her rental payment, food, daily needs and even her school fees too. If she lost this job, it would be harder to find another one. She often finds herself pretty useless because she wasn't the best at communicating with others. So she had to balance her studies and work at the same time. This put pressure on her. She thinks her manager was kind, this part-time job allows her to get home earlier so she had time to do her homework and chores.

Once Jisoo reached home, she immediately took off her shoes and school uniform, and then heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower as usual. After doing a couple of things she usually does, she always remembered to check if she had brought everything she did for the next day in school. As she began rummaging everything inside her school bag, she figured out what was missing. Her notebook. The one she always wrote on. Boy, it was really important then, Jisoo clutched her hair in frustration. Had she dropped it in school?

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡●♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Yoongi held up the notebook in the air, while his head rested on his soft pillow. Should he read it? Or not? He wonders. It had been bothering his mind. Another thing was how he was going to pass it to the girl, should he do it romantically, or be smooth about it, he didn't know. Then again, she would just take it and leave. He stared at the ceiling for a while. Something clicked his mind, a plan. He knew what to do. After placing the notebook into his schoolbag, he crawled back up into his comfortable bed and turned off the night lamp on his bedside table. Soon he fell into a deep slumber, unaware that he would shoot up to an ear-piercing scream from his alarm clock. For another refreshing day in school.

The next day

Yoongi did not need to look at the girl in class. He was confident that he would get many chances to look at her later on. And she didn't turn to look at him or anything, she just looked really troubled for the whole day, Yoongi knew exactly why and he was going to end her problems.

After school, a students scrambled out of school like a whole pack of wolves. Who could blame them? Nobody liked school, and it was finally the weekends, the happiest days of the week. Normally, Yoongi would be strolling home while enjoying the fresh air. But he stayed back, just for the girl. Once again, she was the last one to leave, but instead of stuffing things inside her locker, she was searching frantically around, her eyes twitching everywhere on the floor. Yoongi had already known she was trying to find her notebook.

"Here, you dropped your notebook yesterday." He grinned as he extented his hand. The girl looked up and noticed her notebook. Her face immediately lit up as she received the notebook from his hand. They hadn't touched yet. Yoongi gave her a smugly smirk, it was time to take action. He quickly grabbed her hand, which completely shocked her. Soon enough she was stumbling along behind him, running off to somewhere she didn't know. She didn't know where he was bringing her, what he was going to do, but she went on with it.

Yoongi felt something weird about the girl as he continued running with her, her hands were really soft, to be honest. He shook his head. There was something off about her, she hadn't yelled at him, for doing this. Wouldn't she be worried about where he was taking her? But he kept on running, all he was concentrating on at the moment was to have some time with this girl. To know her better, because he was so interested.
