I had my earbuds in my ears again. Looking at the ground as I walked. I was on my way to work and was only about three minutes away. Going down the alley where I ran into that person last night.

I honestly forgot till now. It was like a dream so I pushed it away like it was one. Biting at my lip softly I noticed something on the ground.

Stopping I kneeled down a little and looked. Red? Th-Thats not blood is it? Oh gosh.. I have to find another way to get to my place from the store. Some way safer...

I made it to the store after starring at the blood for about four minutes. Unlocking the door I let out a sigh and went inside. Putting the keys onto the hook behind the counter I moved to walk every isle to see if they were stocked and they were because I filled them before I got off work yesterday. I went back to the counter and got behind it. Sitting down and sighing softly. Rubbing my head then pushing my hair out of my face.

I don't know why, but this seems like it's gonna be a long day. A very long day.

~~~

Well I wasn't wrong. It was a really long day. It's been four hours and have only had fifteen customers.

Now this may seem like a persons dream to not wanting to do much for their job; I get severely bored. I start playing with candy like their dolls.

In fact, I had two tic tac boxes that I was playing with. Its not weird. Just passes the time. Rather then be on my phone.

Okay that was an excuse. My phone is almost dead and I forgot my charger. I cant just leave the store to get it at my place. What if someone came in?

I sat the tic tac boxes down and rubbed my eyes. Groaning out softly and getting up. I have to do something.

The bell at the door rung loudly and I stopped moving from behind the counter. I couldnt see over the shelf to see who came in from where I was in. So I moved to see who it was.

Not seeing anyone though.

I looked around to where I could see in between the shelves. All I could see was a waist line. Who is it?

I mean yeah its a customer I know that. I always like to know though. You never know..

They came out from the shelves and I sighed softly in relief. Sitting down onto the small stool and smiled.

"Hey"

He smiled back through that thin mask of his and placed his usual things onto the counter. "Hey"

I didnt even bother scanning the stuff yet. Starring at him. He rubbed the back of his neck and kind of looked away.

"You seem r-really bored here. It seems really slow today too" his voice trembled.

I shrugged and started to scan his things. Come on Jimin. Get it together. Stop starring. Your scaring him..

"Its kind of always slow here. Its a small place that many people dont know or even care about. A little to keep it in business. But just remember you're one of the people that keep it up and running" I kind of forced a laugh and finished and handed him his bag.

He didnt move though.

It was his turn to stare at me this time. Placing the bag close to me.
