~The Move to Korea~

34.

"Baby can I sleep here tonight?"

"Whatever,"

He strips out of the blue and I cover my eyes. I uncover them and he's under the covers so I turn out the lights. We don't face each other this time and I dose off into dreamland for a while.

"Li! Come Look at this!"

"What the hell! I am trying to sleep!"

"It's Jay!"

I jolt out of my bed at search for who was calling me. The Jay was playing in the yard with Chanyeol in the snow!

"Snow!" I yelp as I look out the door window.

7 months Later ~ March

The snow was gone by now and the flowers sprang out of the ground. It was a fun wintering it's going to be an even better spring.

The coffee shop was officially in business back in January and my shop was known by multiple people around Daegu. I sell bagels and muffins along with coffee of all sorts. I don't make my daily costumers pay the normal price and I give them a RC Card. I only charge 2.50 per coffee cup and 3.00 for the additional bagels or muffins. Some of the members from Stray Kids work with me and Some locals. I had about 15 to 16 employees. I love to work with my co-workers and help bake the muffins and bagels. I go into work around 7, about 30 minutes behind my employees. And it's time for me to get up and get dressed for work.

"Where is my son?" Jay does go to work with me sometimes.

"Here!"

"Are you going with mommy to work?"

"Yes!!"

I slide on my blue suit jacket as I grab my heavy MK purse. That purse carries my computer, lady and baby things, wallet and some snacks.

"Mommy come on,"

"I'm coming hold on,"

I close my door after I turn off the lights and head down the steps that Jay disappeared down. Jay already grabbed my keys and opened the door. I take my keys from his hand and he's out the door, I close the door behind me and get in my Audi R8. My Gucci sunglasses were on the dash board and Jay gets in the passenger seat with his booster seat and puts his seatbelt on. And I'm on my way to work to see how it's rolling this morning.

I get there and I.N and Minho are at the registers. Changbin and Jisung are the cleaning and giving out coffee. Seungmin is managing the kitchen and the rest of my workers are in the back with Seungmin. I was delighted that everyone was doing their jobs correctly and have a good attitude. I go over to my corner by the window which Jay was already at. I sit down as I fix my clothes and I sigh as I take out my computer, phone and AirPods. I already charged my computer last night so I log in and go to Google Chrome. I click on iTunes on my phone and selected a calm instrumental playlist. I put one in my left ear and handed Jay the other one. I take out his coloring book and crayons which occupied him for a bit.

"Mrs. Li?"

I was called by an unfamiliar voice so I look up and I was facing one of my costumers. Which was not my daily ones that come talk to me.

"Yes? Can I help you with anything?"

"Um...yes. I am one of the bosses for one of the well-known coffee shops in Korea and I stopped by to see the big commotion. When I stopped by I had very nice service and experience here and I wanted to know if you wanted to hold a meeting here for the other bosses?"

"What time?"

"Thursday at 12:40,"

"Also I don't quite understand what this meeting is about..."

"It's just to see if they want to help you in your business. It's also to help you meet the big bosses,"

"I'm sorry but it's a no. I would like to but I want to keep my shop discreet for specific reasons,"

"I understand. Here is my card if you change your mind," She says when she walks away with her blueberry muffin.

"See you...Angela!" I shout out when she pushed the door open and she waved back at me and smiles.

And that was the last day I saw her or even spoke to her, not even a day after our encounter a truck ran a red light and hit her. She died fatally but I went to her funeral and the service was nice.

I went home after I closed the shop and cried in my studio. If I was honest I cried because she was a very nice lady and I wish I could have gotten to know her better. I let go of my sadness and call Lisa.

We talked about random things, It was a variation of Jay to ice cream.
