"Seojin! Hurry!"

Seojin: Coming!
(She answered carrying a tray full of two beautiful dishes.)
Here are the food you ordered.
(She said placing the dishes in front of a couple.)

The girl with her boyfriend glared angrily at Seojin.

Seojin quickly left back to go back to the counter. As soon as Seojin left, the girl screamed. Another worker with Seojin ran towards the girl.

"What's wrong?" The worker asked the girl.

Girl: There's a piece of hair in my food! Let me talk to your manager right now!

The worker turned to Seojin, "Great move Seojin, go get the manager." She said annoyed to Seojin.

But Seojin had her hair wrapped up with a fish net to prevent her hair from falling onto the food.

Seojin quickly ran back to the kitchen in the back and told the manager. The manager sighed deeply and walked out to where the girl was.

Manager: Is there a problem here?

Girl: Yes! Your worker should take better care of her hair, because I found hair in my food!!

Manager: I am very sorry about that, I will make sure that it never happens again.

Then he turned around to face Seojin, who was looking down.

Manager: Seojin, go make another dish.

Seojin: Yes.
(She said bowing, as the manager and other worker walked away.)

Seojin slowly lifted her head and saw the girl laughing at her.

Girl: What are you doing? Go make my food.

Seojin looked at her one last time, and then walked back towards the kitchen.

***

10 minutes later.

Seojin walks out of the back door carrying the new dish she made. As she makes her way over towards the girl earlier, she sets the plate down in front of her.

Girl: You're too slow, I'm not craving that anymore. My boyfriend already finished his food, so we're going to leave.
(She said grabbing her purse on the seat next to her, as she and her boyfriend stood up to leave.)

Seojin stood there dumbfounded. She was so upset, angry, and felt like she could cry right now. But she fought every ounce in her body to not let a tear roll out. Seojin grabbed the dish and went towards the back door of the restaurant.

She squat down by the side of the door outside, it was such a beautiful sunny bright day in summer. But she didn't feel happy, Seojin wrapped her arms to hug her knees. Tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"Why? Why does this only happen to me? What have I done wrong?!" Seojin asked herself while crying.

All of a sudden a worker opened the door, coming out to throw away trash. She saw Seojin sitting there and went up towards her. She put the bag of trash in the trash can and squatted down next to Seojin.
