~Chapter 2~

This is my first time having a job. This cafe pays more so I thought of working here.

 As I approached the cafe, I got really nervous. I hope my boss is very understanding. I took a deep breath, and brushed my hair with my fingers and levelled my skirt.

*sigh*

I can do this! I will make my mom pleased!

"Hellooo, anyone home.....Woah Woah ahhh!"

Kaboom

The world rushed by in a blur and I knew the pain was coming. I felt the force of the solid floor beneath me.

I looked at my hands they were dirty, wet and reddened. I was still on the frozen ground on my butt, when I was suddenly greeted by a young woman that looked a few years older than me.

"Welcome to my cafe!" she beamed, then she realized that I was on the floor and her smile dimmed. She hurried towards me.

"Are you ok?" she asked as she gave me a worried look.

She dropped to the ground to get to my level.

"Ugh, I told them to clean up the mess, I knew something like this would happen!" She looked slightly annoyed at the other workers.

"Yeah, I'm ok," I answered with a nervous grin, and with her help, I got up from the hard floor.

I cleared my throat and anyone who was staring at me looked away. I am so doomed. From the outside, it looked like not a soul was inside the cafe, but once you are inside it's a whole different story. I bowed deeply praying that I will be forgiven.

"S-Sorry about that. M-My name is Song Min-ji and I am here for the job," I stuttered, looking at the floor.

I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. But there was no freedom from this mistake. This is absolute torture.  I hate myself for being so clumsy. I don't think this woman will hire me since she already saw how clumsy I am.

I finally looked up from bowing, the woman's appearance finally came into view.

I took a sharp intake of breath.

She looked stunning. Her straight shoulder-length hair that was a mixture of brown and blonde fell around her. She was wearing a beautiful summer dress that exposed her bony shoulders. She had a very sharp jawline and very high cheekbones. No makeup on and oh boy, was she very skinny.

Beautiful people aren't always nice. Hopefully, she might be nice.

"What you looking at girly?" she smirked.

I quickly took my eyes off of her face in embarrassment.

Why do I keep embarrassing myself?

The women giggled to herself.

"You're so cute when you're embarrassed!" she said with big puppy eyes.

"Huh?" I give her my confused grin.

I thought she would be mad at me?

She dismissed it off with a wave.

"Never mind you, come inside and let me introduce you to the rest of the team," she dragged me to a room that was at the back of the cafe.

"And my name is Jung Dawon by the way. You can just call me Unnie," she said shaking my hand.

 She looked me up and down with a look of pity. "Ok, now first let's get you out of those wet clothes".

I nodded in agreement.

***

Unnie gave me my uniform for work. I changed into the uniform and looked at the mirror on the changing room door. The mirror was big enough to show my whole body. I looked at myself up and down.

The uniform includes an orange skirt that stops right before my knees and a black full-sleeved shirt that is a bit tight for me. I had black heels with silver outlines that Unnie gave me because my shoes were wet.

I looked into my eyes and smiled at the reflection in the mirror. 

I got this! 

I opened the door to the changing room and walked a little with my heels on, so I could get comfortable with them. I was just praying that I wouldn't trip over my heels and fall again. It happens all the time when I wear heels. That's why I don't own any.

Suddenly, the back room door opened and Unnie peeked her head out.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

I nodded in response.

"Ok, let's get started!" she exclaimed.

I followed her out and into the cafe.

***

 Because it was my first-day Unnie told me to sit at the back and just observe my colleagues so I could get a scene of how things work around here. I did as I was told. I observed my colleagues go back and front, taking orders and going to the kitchen and bringing the orders back. As I was just sitting and staring, I started noticing the little details of the cafe.

The wall of the cafe was a light purple with large windows that hung purple curtains. They had light pink, square-shaped tables, the menu under each drinking glass, and slow-turning ceiling fans above. Small vases of yellow flowers sat on each table. 

Soon after, Unnie came up to me and said I could go home a little bit early since it's my first day. I jumped off of the chair. My heels made a loud sound and everyone glanced at me, but I didn't care since I couldn't wait to get home!

I went to the backroom and was going to change when I realized that my clothes are still wet. I decided to go home wearing my work uniform. I got out of the backroom and said my goodbyes to everyone. I was about to exit the cafe when I bumped into a REALLY hard chest.

 As shocked as I was, I tumbled over my heels and lost my balance. I was ready to fall on my butt again when a strong arm came and wrapped around my waist pulling me closer.

I opened my eyes to see my rescuer and a-and ..... It w-was ...It w-was...
