"Why does this cart have to be so stupid!?!" I can't wait to finish college and be done with this stupid job. At first I thought working at the library would be fun and I could have an advantage to studying. But now I realized how boring it is. I do the same thing EVERYDAY! I go to my classes for 6 hours and then I come here and I organize and stack books and then do that same thing the next day, and the next day, and so on and so forth.

I check the clock on the wall. Well, time to go back to my house. I lock up since it's 11 at night, which also sucks because I have at least two hours of homework to do still. Since my parents house isn't far for my campus they told me to stay there to save money.

"Jae! How was work and school?" My dad always called me Jae even though my full name is Hwang Jaerin. "Same as always, hows the company going?" I set my bag down and grab a bowl and fill it with ramyeon. "Well, we are on our way to joining forces with Kim Enterprise so that will be huge for us." I nod and eat my ramyeon. As easy as it is to make, it tastes so good, I could honestly eat it everyday and never get tired of it. The food on campus is terrible. Who knows what they put in that crap.

After finishing homework it's about 3 in the morning and I have to get up in 4 hours so I mean what's the point in sleeping. I go on my phone and scroll through social media. I don't really have many friends so I mainly follow famous people. My good friend from childhood moved to the states a little under a month ago to become a better dancer, I only hear from him here and there but I do miss him. I mean I do have a friend or two at school and we hang out here and there but usually only at school and never like I did with Jungkook. I've never had a boyfriend because my dad is so protective of me but I do have guy friends. Actually, I only have guy friends...

As soon as my head hits my pillow, I'm out like a light. So much for pulling an all nighter.

You know, I really hate alarms. They are sooo annoying and bother you at the most important parts of your dreams. I slowly slip out of bed and drag myself to my closet. I throw on some sweatpants and a comfy hoodie then throw my hair in a messy bun. "Best part about college is that I don't have to look nice all the time."

As I'm walking to the campus I have a feeling that someone is watching me, or maybe even following me. I turn around to see nothing, I'm probably only paranoid. I look in front of me again only to realize that my stupid friend is right next to me. "Yah! You scared me!" He laughs and looks me in the eyes, "You look like a bum." Wow way to help my self confidence! "Well thanks Hobi, you don't look to bad yourself." I roll my eyes and he sticks out his tongue. Hobi, or Jhope, is one of my very few friends. We met in Biology two years ago and we have been friends since. Jhope comes from a rich family so he always has a new outfit everyday.

Jhope walked me to my first class. I walked over to my other friend at our usual table, right in the back of the classroom. "Your early." He looks up at me, startled. He must have been daydreaming. "Aish, Jaerin-ah you scared me." I laugh and sit down. I pull out my notebook and pencil. "Would you like to go to Jeju island with me and my friends on our week off of school?" Oh by the way this is Jin. I met him in cooking class last year and he is the best gosh darn cook I have ever met. He treats me like I'm his little sister. I find it cute...in a way. I mean I'm an only child so it's nice to feel protected by someone other than my parents. "I guess, but I will have to talk to my parents, you know that my dad is very protective of me."

After a long day of lectures me, Jin, and Jhope go out to eat before we go to work. "So who all is going to the island next week?" I look to Jin, who has his face stuffed with food, and then to Jhope. They come from the same friend group so luckily they get along. "Well Jimin, Yoongi, Taehyung, us, and Namjoon." Jhope informed me since Jin is too busy shoving his with food. It's not like I don't know these people, I mean like, I've seen them once or twice but I don't really know them very well.

This day feels like it's taking forever for it to be over with. I'm stuck shelving books, like usual, with the stupid cart that doesn't like to go straight. Only three more days and I will be in Jeju island with my friends, and their friends, with nothing to worry about. That is, if my parents allow me to go.
