"hyerin-ssi, are you sure you're alright? you kept stumbling over these past few hours." a worried dance student of hers approached her, a couple more people following to check up on hyerin, "we can end classes early today if you want."
hyerin shook her head, "its just a couple of hours more, let's just finish today's lesson and call it a day, yeah?" she smiled faintly looking at all her students.
"but—" it was no use protesting as hyerin headed to play the music and proceeded to teach them the last few steps to the dance, "if we finish this early, then we can all go home." hyerin stood in front of them.
the students then went to their places immediately, wanting to end today's classes just so hyerin could finally take a rest, not knowing hyerin still has her next part-time job at one of the restaurants nearby.
as the class proceeded, hyerin kept on spacing out between breaks, not able to focus properly on dancing, it made her frustrated how she kept on messing the dance.
"noona, let's stop it now. its just 15 minutes left more anyways, you won't get trouble ending today early." one of the younger boys said as he glanced at their pale dance teacher.
"you guys won't stop until i agree, won't you?" hyerin smiled at them, all of her students wearing the same worried expression on their faces, "arraseo, let's call it a day."
all students smiled and went to grab their things, saying goodbye and advicing hyerin to rest well before leaving the room.
"those people, really." she smiled to herself, remembering how much her students became such important people to her, caring for her health and vice versa.

"good afternoon, ma'am. please do just ring the bell when you are ready to order." a smile not leaving hyerin's face as she greeted a customer, the customer didn't return her greeting and proceeded to find an empty spot.
she's quite rude, hyerin thought as she watched the lady walk away.
after a couple of minutes, new group of people entered the restaurant, all wearing masks or caps, seemingly hiding theirselves from the public.
"good afternoon, please do just ring the bell when you are ready to order." she smiled at the new entered people, but her voice might be a bit low that they didn't manage to hear her.
a bell then just rung, signaling that a customer was ready to order, grabbing a notepad and a pen, she went to the table of the customer, it's the lady, she smiled and greeted her and the other people she was with.
the lady started stating her orders, purposely saying it faster for hyerin to have a hard time to keep up, "could you repeat the last three orders again?" she asked, still writing some of the orders she managed to hear clearly.
something about hyerin seemed to annoy the lady, and since she was in the mood to be bitchy, she decided to let it all out on the innocent hyerin.
"what do you mean repeat? how did you not hear everything i said?" the lady rolled her eyes and glared at hyerin.
"im sorry but you were quite fast when you were talking, unless you repeat it again i can't give you what you want." hyerin forced a smile, her hand clutching the pen and notepad tightly.
the lady groaned before repeating her orders and hyerin then bowed slightly, she then went away, sighing in relief that she was away from that lady.
she handed the orders to the cooks, and went back to the counter, waiting for the next bell to be rung.
"here's the order, be careful hyerin, its hot." a tray was placed in front of her, containing lot of hot dishes and couple of side dishes.
