School was over and Irene made her way back to her home. She's been ignoring Taehyung for the rest of the day, making everyone wonder with her sudden cold behavior towards that guy.

As she was on her way reaching the school gate, Taehyung and his friends cars drove passed by her. Irene could see how Taehyung intentionally drove as slow as her walking pace while looking out through the car mirror. Their eyes met. He gave her unreadable look before speed up leaving the school.

Irene couldn't care more about him as she just continue her way back to her home.

After resting for 2 hours, Irene get ready and went to her work place. Today is her first day working at the coffee shop. She felt happy and a bit nervous at the same time.

She wore a simple white t-shirt with the shop logo printed at the back of the shirt that Miss Yoona gave to her on the day she went for the interview.
She matched the T-shirt with a black skinny jeans and a white converse that she always wear to school. Basically, that's the only shoe she have.

She tied up her hair in a pony tail, checking herself on the mirror before walked out of her house and went to her workplace.

" Eo? Hi, Irene! ", greet Seulgi, the senior worker.

" Hi, Seulgi! ", she greet back, showing off her prettiest smile to her workmate.

" It's your first day today. I hope we can get along together ! Finally, I have a friend to talk to ", she pouted her lips and pulled Irene into her embrace. Irene let out a soft chuckle at Seulgi's cute action.

" So, where should I start? ", she excitedly ask and her day as a new worker begin.

Irene had been taught on so many things by Seulgi. Starting from the front counter to the kitchen and she's been catching up so well up until now.
After spent 4 hours learning all those barista thingy, Irene went to clean up the table that the customer left earlier.

She automatically turned her gaze to the door as she heard the door bell ringing, signaling her that someone has walked in into the shop.

" Annyeongha- ", she paused. Her eyes widened as soon as she noticed that person's face. A very familiar face to be exact.

She immediately looked away and quickly clean up the table before running back into the kitchen before that person noticed her presence.

" Irene ", a deep voice called her name which automatically sent shiver down her spine. She stop on her track, froze, tightened her grip onto the basin that filled with dirty plates.

" Here ", Irene nervously placed his Americano Macchiato on the table. She was about to walk away but that person stop her.

" Can we talk for a while? ", he asked.

" If you want to talk about that then I'm sorry, I'm not interested. I don't even want to remember about it. ", she excused herself but that person stood up from his seat, pleading.

Irene heaved out a sigh before took a seat facing him.

" Firstly, I wanted to apologize about what happened that day. I know it's inappropriate and unacceptable but I'm really sorry. Can you forgive me? ", he spoke.

" It's okay. I forgive you. It already happened and I guess we can't turn back time, right? So, let's just forgive and forget. ", Irene wore her poker face, she's not even smiling nor looking at him while talking to him.
