I opened my eyes then sat up in bed. "Right...he wanted to sleep like this..." I looked at the time on my phone then quickly got dressed. "Jacob, get up. You'll be late." I walked towards the bed then started shaking him. "You can stop...I'm up." I tossed him some clothes that he left in case he stayed over then hurried about. "What time is it...?" "2:12pm. Now get your things and let's go." I pushed him out the door then locked my door before heading downstairs.

I pulled over by the building then watched Jacob get out. "Sorry about last night." "It's okay, don't worry about it." I wanted to puke. He waved as I pulled off. Last night was a strange experience and I hoped it would never happen again. I had luckily found a parking spot near my job and parked. I hurried inside and briefly greeted the others.

"You're usually here earlier than us. What happened? Overslept?" "Kinda." I fixed my hair in the mirror then smiled in satisfaction. "Did you get laid last night?" I widened my eyes in shock then quickly shook my head. "I mean, you look better than usual. So if you didn't fuck, you masturbated instead?" "Leave me alone, Hyunjae." I walked back to the front and busied myself. "Fine. I'll stop, but, guess what Juyeon told me." "It better not be about porn." "Not this time. Lord, can he talk. Anyway, Jaemi is supposed to be coming by today." He showed me a picture and like he said, she was tiny and cute. "He's a lucky guy." "I agree." "Aren't you dating someone too?" "Yeah..." I sighed then went to go take someone's order.

"Dude, it's Jaemi." I looked and saw a short woman take a seat at one of the tables. I went over to take her order and was surprised by her way of speaking. "Do ya havea meat substitute or nah?" "We do." "Then lemme get that and uh, a Coke." "The seafood platter, but chicken instead of crab and a Coke?" "Yeah." I bowed then quickly headed to the back. "So? Did she talk cutely?" "Hardly." I looked back at her and wondered if it was just her dialect. "Juyeon isn't coming in today?" "He is. He was switched last minute to the night shift." "I've never been switched to another shift." "Be glad. It's hell." I looked at Hyunjae for answers but he simply left to go take an order.

I placed her order in front of her and saw the hungry look in her eyes. "Thank ya kindly, Changmin." "You're welcome." No matter how much I heard her speak, it never matched how she dressed. She stuck around for a bit before paying and taking her leave. "I need to meet people..." "Then why don't you do it?" "I don't have time. I work two jobs, you know." "Right." I never took Hyunjae to be a hard worker, but he had proven me wrong. "So, I never did ask. How was the date?" I dropped the fork in my hand then scrambled to pick it up. "I'll stop while I'm ahead." He handed me a new fork then sent me on my way.

Just as my shift had ended, a familiar face had walked in with another in tow. "Eric!" "Hey." I gave him a hug then looked him up and down. "Your suit, it looks amazing. Did you get a raise?" "Actually..." He whispered the details in my ear and I couldn't hide my surprise. "Congratulations! Is this why you can't come see me like I want you to?" "Exactly." "Oh, hey Sangyeon. Didn't see you there." "Sup." "Oh, I just got off my shift, do you want to go somewhere?" Eric brought me over to their table and sat me down. "We're good. So, update me on everything."

"And now I'm coughing flower petals. Daisies to be exact." "Well, maybe it's time. You both have been dating for 2 years going on 3 two months from now." I hit his arm as I couldn't believe he'd say something like that. I looked to Sangyeon, but he looked away and down at the menu. "It's not that bad you two!" "When was the last time you kissed? Cuddled? Did something actual couples do?" I thought about everything he had mentioned and unfortunately, I couldn't remember a thing. I sighed heavily as Eric made tsking sounds. "Changmin, just take my advice. Break up."
