I Need U

Chapter 17

Siwoo told to them, "I need this job badly. I used my money for the hospital bills. That's-" "Is that what you mean by complication with hospital?" Jimin looked at her.

"Yes. Now pay attention. As I was saying, I really need this job. If not, I can't even feed myself. Lucky Kang Byeol unnie allowed me to work at her café. But as you can see, there aren't customer coming to this café. I'm not sure how she's going to pay me but I have to at least try." Siwoo explained.

Jin crossed his arms, "You didn't even tell us about this." "I'm sorry. I thought that it would be the best if I didn't tell you guys." Siwoo apologized.

"Not knowing what you do or where you are when we are trying to get along with you is definitely not the best thing, Siwoonuna." Jungkook crossed his arms.

She apologised to them again.

"Now what?" Suga asked. They thought for a while.

V then looked at Siwoo, "Can you call the owner for me?" he asked her. She blinked at him but he insisted for her help to call for the owner.

In a minute, Kang Byeol went to the front to be with the boys. "Yes, anything I can help?"

V looked at her, "Tell me, do you take male worker here?" he asked her.

Everyone looked at him in surprised.

"No way!" J-Hope looked at him. "Don't tell me you're-" "I'm going to work here." V said.

"Wait you don't have to." Siwoo stopped him. "No. If that means I can spend more time with you, I'll do it." V was determined.

Jimin stood up, "If he is than I am going to work here too." He said.

Kang Byeol smiled, "So, two of you, are you sure?" she looked at them. Jimin and V nodded eagerly.

"Wait!" J-Hope raised his hand. They looked at him, "Count me in." he said with a smile.

"I'm in too!" "Me too!" "I'm in." "Swag!" the boys agreed.

Siwoo had her tears welled up. "You guys...." *thank you.*

Kang Byeol and Siwoo were at a corner of the café, waiting for the boys as they changed into their uniform.

"I'm done!"

The females looked up.

Kang Byeol smiled widely, "Omo! You're so cute." She stood up.

Jungkook's face went red, "Thank you."

One by one, the boys came out with white t-shirt, black pants and a black apron around their waist.

Knag Byeol smiled, "You are all good looking man. Now if you could introduce yourself."

"Sure. Siwoo, we never introduce ourselves properly in front of you before so you should pay attention as well." Rap Mon warned her. She nodded eagerly. "Start from the eldest."

Jin bowed formally, "Hello. My name is Kim Seok Jin but Jin is fine." He smiled.

One by one, they did their introduction.

Kang Byeol stood up, "Now that you're in your uniform, I'll split the work. Suga and V, you two in charge for the flyer. Jin you said you can make coffee so you'll be in the kitchen with me. J-Hope can be the cashier and the rest can be the waiters and waitress." She told them.

J-Hope suddenly raised his hand, "Uhm, Byeol nuna." "Yes, J-Hope?" she turned to him. "Can I change with Siwoo?" he asked.

Siwoo turned to him, "Yah! You can't do what you like!" she scolded him.

Kang Byeol looked at him, "Any good reason?" he went to her and whispered something to her. Kang Byeol looked at Siwoo from head to toe. "Siwoo, turn around."

Siwoo did as she asked.

Kang Byeol nodded. "You and J-Hope exchange places. Now anything else?" she asked but gained no answer from them. "Good! Now start working!"

Siwoo went to the cashier as she watched J-Hope rearranged the chairs. *why he insisted for me to be the cashier?*

The bell on top of the main door jiggled, marked that people are entering the place.

Siwoo turned. Two young females walked in.

"Welcome." Jimin greeted their first customer. Their face flushed in red. "May I take you to your seat?" Jimin made his hand gestures. The girls nodded in delight.

The door flung opened again and this time four middle-aged women walked in. "Welcome." Jungkook greeted them. And they showed the same reaction as the young girls.

Their last customers left late that evening.

The boys and Siwoo rested at a table.

"Wow, I never knew this would be so tiring." V sighed.

Kang Byeol went to them and placed at huge bowl of carbonara. "Unnie, what's this?" Siwoo asked. "It's my treat." She then went to take a few plates and utensils.

Siwoo and the boys exchanged glances.

Kang Byeol returned and placed everything on the table. "Eat up everyone." She smiled. "Are you sure?" Jimin asked. She nodded.

Jimin cheered. "Bon appetite!" he grabbed the plate. Siwoo and the boys started to dig in.

"You know, I never have so many customers in one day. Today is a record." Kang Byeol told them. "Thank you for helping me today. You work really hard today." She added.

"Unnie, you notice that today most of your customers were females right?" Siwoo asked her. Kang Byeol nodded, "Boys, your charming face bring luck to my café." She told them.

"No nuna!" Rap Mon swallowed his food. "I heard most of them said that the food here is good." He continued. "And it is." V took another bite of the carbonara.

"Ah, by the way. This is your pay for today." Kang Byeol handed them some amount of money.

Jin chewed his food, "Nuna, give everything to Siwoo. She needs it."

"What?! No! You work hard so you deserve it as well." Siwoo shook her head. "Come on nuna. We do this for you. Like Jin hyung said, you need it." Jungkook added.

Suga nodded, "Use it to treat your father's injuries."

A stream of tears ran down Siwoo's cheeks. "Thank you, guys."

"Auw, Siwoo is a cry baby. Now I know." Jimin giggled.
