Damn , I'm fucking broke
Jeongguk thought as he locked his phone stowing it away into his tattered brown bag he's had since highschool .
It was nearly the end of the month and the pending amount of his sister's school fees was going to deplete his current pitiful amount to next to nothing .
He sighed taking long strides across the dewy grass of his still asleep neighborhood to avoid being late for his first day at COH aka Crumbs of Happiness bakey store.
He smiled remembering how his interviewer , Annie had hired him on the spot due to his best friend's excellent flirting skills that completely distracted her mind from his crappy fresh out of High school CV.
Jeongguk arrived at the subway station at 6:30am. He quickly boarded the train , descending his bottom onto an empty seat. He sighed softly feeling a little out of breath. The train would only be leaving for Plumstead at 7 so he fished out his phone to play Candy crush to pass time. After his fourth attempt to collect the ingredients , he felt frustrated and checked his messages instead.
2 messages from jiminie
Jiminie: guess who got laid last night?
Jiminie: gm and good luck , don't get
fired just yet xoxo
Jeongguk rolled his eyes at the first message. He always wondered how Jimin kept his lush bottom thick as hell and intact as he'd probably screwed and been screwed by everyone living on Yellowood campus with him.
Jeongguk: thnx , don't get aids just yet
He smirked at his clever remark then stashed his phone in his pocket .
After a few minutes more people began filling the seats.
His curious brown orbs spotted an old lady carrying two bags of oranges, a loud group of high school girls with extremely hitched up skirts , a man gently strumming his guitar and next to him a young boy resting his head on the man's shoulder, sleeping while letting out a few gentle snores.
Jeongguk sighed once more thinking of his father who'd abandoned him when he was just 2 years old , forcing his care to be attended to by his strong grandmother Jisoo. She was quite fit for her age , 59 nearly 60. Working two jobs as a seamstress and another as a kindergarten assistant.
It pained him to watch her work so hard for him and later his 8 year old sister Hana, who was unexpectedly dropped off by his mother who was now serving time in jail for a reason unknown to him.
The train came to an abrupt stop shaking his mind out of his thoughts and back to reality. Jeongguk scurried out of the train and made his way to COH bakery. His heart began beating fast as he neared the entrance. He glanced up at the big logo and gulped before entering the building.
The smell of fresh cookies, pastries and all things delicious attacked his senses causing his mouth to water and stomach to grumble.
Urg that's what I get for skipping breakfast , he thought and took timid steps to the front where a lady with sleeked back brown hair in the COH uniform stood looking very occupied with her phone.
"Hello I'm Jeon Jeongguk "
No reply .
He cleared his voice and tried again.
"Hello I'm Jeon-"
"Yah you can't be a customer right it's fucking 7:15 in the morning , you must be the new guy?"
She nonchalantly asked putting her phone down on the polished black counter.
"Yeah that's me , I was told in my email to get my uniform and name badge today by someone named Stacey" Jeongguk smiled ignoring her rudeness.
"Uh huh I'm Stacey , come with me ."
She said while opening a door labelled Staff.
She swinged open the door revealing a spacious room containing a table , chairs , lockers and a male and female toilet. Stacey unlocked a locker with his name on it. It had his uniform consisting of a cream gold t-shirt with the COH logo , blue faded jeans, a plain white apron and a cute white headband branded with the words "Sweeter than sweet"
Stacey left him to change , so he dressed and returned back to the front feeling giddy and excited.
"K here's your name badge , your duties today are just to deliver a batch of chocolate supreme cookies at 8 to our boss Mr Kim at his apartment on Singularity Street , upper Plumstead , I've called a taxi it'll be here soon so get your ass outside "
Stacey gave him a once over and snorted before attending to the incoming customers. Jeongguk made a mental note to check himself in the mirror before he left.
Unfortunately the taxi arrived before he could so he grabbed the cookies and got into the taxi.
They arrived before he knew it so he stepped out of the taxi , cookie box in hand and a nervous heart anticipating what his new boss could be like.
