it has been 2 days since you got the cold, you were better now, the medicine had been working better than i expected it to be. i was laying in bed, when my father had called
"hello? appa, why are you calling?"
"ne, you still haven't payed your debt like you promised to. i won't be there to finance you. you're 20 now, i'll give you time a month to pay them okay? appa wants you to be independent."
"ah, ne appa. don't worry, appa raised me well to be independent. ne, bye appa."
i had come to realize that since i am no longer employed, i have no income, but spend shit tons of money on unimportant things. he's right tho, i need to be independent i have no one to finance my life other than me.
you took a deep breath, okay y/n, time to get you a job. you started to search them on google, calling each one of them hoping you'd get in. everyone denied you because well, you dropped out of college but you had one store left. a cafe, you had your hopes for this one.
"hello what can i do for you?" "hi um yeah i want to apply to get a job there i was hoping there'd be a spot i can fill in?" "ooh yes perfect! just meet us here in an hour and we'll see." "nice! alright, thanks!"
you hung up, quickly taking a shower to refresh yourself. you started pairing your clothes to look presentable AND cute at the same time because .. why not? you decided to go with a lilac colored shirt, with a fitting white skirt. it was formal, but at the same time cute just like how you wanted it to be.
your look :

"hm, not bad. looks cute actually." you complimented yourself, and off to the cafe you go. when you arrived there were lots of people, "how have i not know this place before?" you mumbled to yourself. you went up to the cashier,
"hi! i'm here for the job application?" this nice young lady greeted you with a smile, showing you the way. "right here! he's the boss, oh, don't mind if he looks rude, it's just a first impression. goodluck!" rude? ah come on
you knocked, "hello? i'm here to-" "come in." you slowly turned the doorknob, opening it to see a tall chair facing backwards. this looks edgy, you thought. you cleared your throat, "hi, i'm- huh?!" he turned around, as you were shocked to see him?! we've met like three times already, can this get any worse?
"hm. surprised to see you here, jeon y/n." he had his palms together, both elbows on the table as he stared at me up and down. "surprised to see you too, didn't expect you to have such a lovely cafe when you're the one running this place." you squint your eyes, pointing at him.
"ouch, that hurts. well since you don't like my presence i guess we can call it off then? goodbye." he points to the door, making you quickly deny.
"ani! wait no no! i'm just .. joking. i guess." goddamit y/n. "i uh need this job, please?" you were fiddling with your fingers, appa if i fail i guess i'll become a stripper. (i'm joking)
"hm, i don't know you seem like you hate me a lot. of course i wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable when you do your job. unless, you beg for forgiveness then i'll think about it." he smirked, gosh that evil little mischievous smirk of his. you sighed, "pretty please?"
he scoffed, oh no. he picked up his phone, "hey areum, take miss y/n to sign her contract." you sighed in relief, "thank you- uh.. mr who?"
"mr. kim."
"yeah, thanks .. mr kim." the door opened revealing the girl from earlier, so she's areum? "come here, i'll show you around!"
"is he always like that?" you asked, while she prepared the contract. "hmm not always, he usually has a soft spot in him. don't worry tho he's not as bad as you think he is."
she showed you the contract, reading it before you signed it. "so, that's it?" you said, i mean she had nothing to show you anymore. "yes! you'll start tomorrow, come in at 9am, and go back home at 5pm." she said, giving you one of their aprons so you could wear it tomorrow.
"sure! thank you so much, see you tomorrow!!"
you go back home, well that was quick. except for the countless heart attacks you had back there with mr kim. damn i saw him soft one time, and now he's like this? i brushed it off, what's important right now is that i have a job now!
i quickly dialed a number, excitement filled my body. "appa! i got a job!" "ah really? i'm proud of you, your mother will be too." i can hear the sadness in his voice when he said the last words, it's true, she'll be proud too. to see me be a full grown woman, im 20 now and i already live alone.
"yeah, i miss her so much." "me too, pumpkin. go rest now, i'm going to walk the dogs." "hm, okay. be careful, i love you." "love you too."
you sighed, throwing your phone and resting your body on your bed, closing your eyes while you slowly drift into a deep nap.
