9th april

Yet again, my life repeated like a broken record. Looping over and over.

But today was different.

From the moment I opened my eyes, something felt.. out of the ordinary.

For a start, I actually woke up on time.

So I got out of bed, made myself some coffee and started to do my makeup.

I managed to not make mistakes with my eyeshadow, and completely aced my eyeliner first try.

I sat in front of the mirror, staring at myself.

"Out of all days, why is today different?" I asked my confused reflection.

-
I arrived to work early. I polished and cleaned and arranged the tables. I even managed to make myself a cup of coffee before the cafe opened.

Surprisingly, day sped past; it was 5pm before I even realised it. I'd managed to hit my profit target at only 2pm, too.

"Soomi, could we talk for a moment please?" My boss called out as I was cleaning up. All of the other workers had left for home already, leaving me to my own thoughts.

"Yeah, of course" I agreed, apprehensive.

This is where my day gets ruined.

"I've been watching you today. I'm really.. impressed with your work ethic at the moment." He stated, nodding firmly. "I want to promote you to head barista. Would that be okay? Your hours will be reduced to only 10 to 4, Monday to Friday, instead of 9 to 5."

My eyes widened.

"That.. that would be such an honour. Thank you, Ji-Hun. I won't let you down" I replied, smiling.

"It's my honour, Soomi. Now go home and get an extra hours sleep. You deserve it" He said, patting me on the shoulder and chuckling.

"I will! Get home safely!" I chirped, grabbing my bag and leaving.

I arrived home smiling ear to ear, like an absolute idiot.

I placed my bag down on the counter and grabbed my phone, dialling my mum.

"Soomi-yah? Is that you?" my mother bellowed down the line.

"Yes, mum, it's me. I just wanted to call to say that I got promoted"

We chatted for a while until she had to leave.

As always, I opened up MyDol.

"Ahh, Jimin! Today has been wonderful." I stated as he mumbled on about something.

"I got a promotion! I work less hours a week for more pay too. I'm surprised my boss would even consider promoting me, but here we are" I said, chuckling. I paused to think about how peculiar today had been, before I was distracted by Jimin talking.

Not just talking, but talking to me.

"Soomi-yah, I'm proud of you"
