Miera smiled as she saw the messages Soonyoung sent. She wasn't sure if she could give her name so openly like that so she decided to hide her name and told Soonyoung that her name was Mina.

Miera ran to her workplace, the new restaurant. She works as a waitress and she earns a lot of money, for her parents.

"Miera! You're finally here! Hurry and wear your uniform!" The other waitress said. Miera rushed to her room and saw the uniform hanging on the wardrobe.

Miera never like tight clothes and accessories but as her job as a waitress, she has to wear a tight dress and she can't even wear leggings or long socks or she'll be fired. The allowance was sure a lot so she just bared with it. She have to, even if she don't want to.

Miera put on her tight dress and braid her hair. She didn't even know why it was necessary. She quickly went outside to see a ton of customers waiting for them to be served.

"May I take your order?" Miera asked the 3 boys who were playing with their phones. They all looked up, squinting their eyes.

"Sure took a while." A short boy rolled his eyes and Miera quickly apologized.

Suddenly, her head hurts. Her heart started to ache and she felt something kicked her legs but nothing did. She didn't notice that her pattern was smiting light.The three boys looked at her in confusion.

"Hey. are you okey?" One of them asked and Miera came to her senses.

"W-would you like the t-try the new dish? It's quite pricey but worth it." Miera gave an unconvincing smile and the boys look at each other.

"You should rest."

"Yeah."

"Don't overwork yourself."

"The customers don't have to worry about the waitress so please take your order." Miera said with a forced smile. Her legs were trembling, her head felt as if it have been hit by a metal tray and she was clutching onto her dress. Her heart was aching but why?

"Please miss. How can we not worry?"

"Is there any problem here?"

"Ah, Miss Kim!" Miera faced her strict boss and she gulped in fear.

"Um, she seem to be sick. Please let her rest." The tallest boy said and Miss Kim glared at Miera.

"Of course, please don't worry. I'll deal with her it's okay," Miss Kim smiled at the group of boys and glared at Miera, telling her to go to her room.

"Yes Miss Kim..."

"You're late, and you don't seem to look guilty. You just wasted my damn time!" The manager said and Soonyoung hung his head low. He was too busy thinking about Miera that he forgot that he have practice.

"I'm sorry sir."

"Are you? Cause I don't think you are." The manager spatted.

"Ten laps around the field!" The manager pushed Soonyoung out of the door and he fell down.

It's already his 8th lap and his legs hurts like crazy. He was sweating hard and everyone who passed by just laughs at him.

"Soonyoung!" Someone called and he turned around to face two boys with a smirk plastered on their face.

"Late? What a disgrace! You're ruining the company's reputation! You should just quit!" One of them said and smacked Soonyoung's head.

"You haven't even found your soulmate! And you're already 20 plus! I feel sorry for you mate." The other boy said and pushed Soonyoung to the ground and since Soonyoung was tired from doing eight laps, he lost his balance and fell on the hard ground, hitting his head.

"Awh... are you gonna cry? Your friends can't back you out and you're just useless without them!" Both of the boys laughed and left Soonyoung on the ground.

Soonyoung stood back up despite having a really bad headache and he even scraped his knee. He continued his laps and after finishing the tenth lap, Soonyoung realized that it was already 6:30 p.m.

On the way home, he felt like someone punched him directly at his stomach but there was no one, no nothing.
