Chapter 2 (The First Encounter)

*This whole chapter takes place two years ago*

Life really sucks.

Hani was strolling around the mall without a specific destination. She kept wandering and wandering until her legs gave up on her.

She found a small bench and took a seat. She let out a heavy sigh.

So many thoughts at once making her head ached. She massaged her temple to lessen the pain.

She had been walking all day long while thinking where she should crash in tonight.

She didn't want to go home. She just wanted to run away far from the house. The house that keeps the dirty incident.

"Excuse me, Ms. Can I sit here? Everywhere else is occupied." a voice snapped her back to reality.

She looked to her left and saw a familiar beautiful man was smiling at her.

"Ms.?" Hani blinked her eyes twice before nodded slowly.

The guy before sat beside her and started to sip on his bubble tea.

"Nice view here, huh? People are walking here and there. Buying everything with their money. Having no interest in cheap items." the man said and chuckled. Hani somehow thought that it was cute.

"Where are you from? Do you live near here?" he asked out of the blue. Hani gasped at the question.

"Ye-yeah. I live at the end of the town," she answered. From the corner of her eyes, she could see the man nodded his head.

"I'm Jin. You are?" Hani finally got the courage to look at the man. Now that she eyed the man carefully, she realized something.

"You mean, Jin from BTS?" she asked back.

Jin chuckled softly as he tried to hide away his feelings. He just replied with a nod.

"Wow." was all Hani could say. "I'm Hani, by the way."

"Nice to meet you Hani. Let's meet again someday. I got to go. Bye!" he said and walked away.

Hani's lips formed a smile without her knowing. The sorrowful feeling that was enveloping her just now slowly went away.

She might just sleep at a motel just like yesterday. She stood up and drove her car to the motel.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Ken?" Sandeul was calling an owner of a cafe that just opened a few days ago and was hoping for a job for both of him and Baro.

"Yes, I am. What can I help you?" a voice from the other side answered.

"Em, my name is Sandeul and I actually wonder if the vacant work at your cafe is still available. And is it possible for my brother and me to fill in?" Sandeul asked.

A few ruffles from the other side. "Cool. Come to the cafe with your,"

"Brother." Sandeul intercepted.

"Yeah, your brother tomorrow and start working. Thank you! See you, bye!" Sandeul got shocked when the call suddenly ended.

"Wow!" he exclaimed.

He scooted over to his left and elbowed his brother. Baro looked at him with a questioning look.

"We just got a new job. Starting from tomorrow, we have to wake up early, dress up and go to the cafe that we went to yesterday." Sandeul explained.

Baro's mouth formed an 'o'. His eyes wandered around while his brain was taking all the information he just got.

"How can you get a job for two, in a short time? What are you?" Baro's question was left unanswered when Sandeul was already on his way to his room.
