Like Jin predicted the moment they landed Namjoon called me to meet the day after and go to his workplace.

I was waiting for him at Jimin's dad's café. Despite him being the owner's son the place was really good and friendly. While waiting a group of people entered and they started speaking in French. I saw the employees struggling so I helped them.

«Excuse me, they are asking what would you like to order.»

«Oh? You can speak French thank God. Can you ask them if they serve bubble tea?» I nod.

"They want to know if you have bubble tea?" I tell the waitress.

"Yes." She says cheerfully thanking me for the help.

«Yes, they have bubble tea,» I tell the group.

Meanwhile, Namjoon was standing at the door looking at me. I didn't see him at first, but when I spotted him, he smiled and took a sit at the table I was sitting earlier.

I greeted him shaking my hand towards him. Then I got my full attention to the group.

"They want to order three bubble teas it doesn't matter the flavor they said the best ones, and two iced americanos," I told the waitress after listening to their request.

When the waitress got to get the order ready the group thanked me. «If it wasn't for you, we'd probably never be able to order.»

«No problem, don't worry. Anyway, if some of you speak English the owner knows English. Have a nice stay.» With that, I returned to my table where Namjoon was waiting for me.

"I didn't know you could speak French!" He said in awe.

"I needed to learn it. You saw my sister right? We needed to learn to be able to talk peacefully without her knowing about what we were talking about."

"We?"

"Yes, Joy, me, and Hobi. Now about Hobi" I told him remembering he was grounded "What the hell happened to his car?"

"Oh, that." He said red-faced "I just opened the door and the handle came off, I found it in my hand."

"What?! How the hell you were able to break a car handle?"

"IDK. Sometimes happen. It's not like I want to break things left and right." He told apologetically. "Changing subject, I talked with my boss and he'd like to meet you. But he can offer just a day per week. Are you ok with it?"

"Yes, don't worry. I just have to find something else to do in the other two days, don't worry."

"Ready to go?"

"Yes," I said taking my wallet out to pay.

"No, I offer." I was starting to retort but he already paid and offered a hand to help me get up.

***********************

Namjoon chief was a good person and offered more than the normal pay just to be Namjoon's babysitter at work.

"You see, he is a good guy but his level of destructiveness is unbelievable. At the end of his shift, I always find something broken. He doesn't even know it." I laugh as I see Joonie red-faced.

"I'm sorry Seonbae-nim, I don't do it on purpose."

"Now I understand why Jin-Oppa calls you God of Destruction."

"So Yoonah, do you accept? Will you work here even if it's only one day a week for now?"

"Yes, ok. When I can start?"

"Tomorrow's too soon?"

"No, it's perfect."

"Then, tomorrow at four thirty pm here"

"Yes, Seonbae-nim"

After saying goodbye to the shop owner Namjoon escorted me for a while.

A little shy he said. "I'm not that bad, Seonbae-nim like to exaggerate."

"Ok, I believe you. Now I better go home, bye Joonie."

"Wait, I was thinking, would you like to go out, with me, sometimes."

"Why not!" he was already jumping. With a giant smile on his face. Look at those dimples, I'm so envious. He didn't only have the sweetest smile but also those fantastic dimples. I really wouldn't have any problems dating him.

*****************

While I was walking home, after leaving Joonie, someone stopped me.

"Excuse me wait, you with the ponytail."

I stopped and looked back at the person who was calling me. Once she was near, I recognized her, she was the waitress I helped before. "Hi, did I forget something at the café?"

She shook her head, "No, tell you the truth my boss wants to talk with you. Could you come for a moment? If you're not busy."

"Ok, I'm not busy" What does he want from me?

I followed the girl inside the café and waited.

"Mr. Park this is the girl I was talking about." She says to Jimin's father.

"Hi. I'll go straight to the point. I want you to work here?"

"Excuse me?" Did I hear right?

"I want you to work here." He told again. "Let me explain, we have many foreign customers as you saw. I need someone who can speak more than Korean and scholastic English, and you are the person I was looking for."

"Ok," What a day. "But I can work only two days a week and on Thursday I have another job."

"It would be great. Can you fill out this form? And you can start on Saturday."

I nod while I take the form from him, and sit at a table to fill it.

I was walking home thinking about what the day was. First, I would have almost double the pay to work with Namjoon and find a second work. It was great. That night I told Mom and Dad about it. They were happy but also worried that I wouldn't have much time to study.

***********************

I was taking out some new book to put on display when I heard a rumble, I turned around and saw Namjoon with his hands high, and an apologetic look on his face. I discovered why Seonbae-nim got me double pay.

Joonie is really a good guy but his level of destructiveness is the same as a wrecking ball.

"How did you manage to make this shelf fall?"

"It's not my fault I just put away this book." He said with his hands still up.

"Go get me the toolbox." Working with him was more extenuating than a whole marathon of Hobi dancing lessons.

"Sorry, usually I'm not this, this..."

"Destructive?"

"Yeah, is just that I'm not used to working with someone other than Seonbae-nim."

"I can understand. Don't worry." At the end of the shift, he got used to and broke fewer things.

The work at the café on the other hand wasn't so difficult, apart from when I had to put up with Jimin's flirting mode on. "Oh, come on Nanah, go out with me." He told me looking at me seductively.

They all called me Nanah for the time Jimin got to work so he didn't know my real name, I could've been at ease for another couple of days.

Supposedly I had to work on Fridays and Saturdays, but ended up agreeing to work also on Sunday only half shift. The week-end was the moment more foreigners came in. I didn't dislike it and the co-workers are great, well almost all of them.

That Saturday after my shift ended, I was changing and one of the girls approached me. "Why do you refuse to go out with Jimin? Did you see him well he is so, wow. He's just too gorgeous."

"He sure is, but he is not my type." And he never will. I tell her, and she looks at me bewildered.

"Then, you already have someone you're dating?"

"No, I'm not dating anyone right now, but..." I can't finish my sentence that my phone rings I look at the phone and I see that Hobi is calling me.

I waste no time and answer him. «Hobi, have your parents lifted your punishment? I tell him while saying goodbye to Jisoo and getting out of the employee lounge.

«Yep. I was ready to start a revolt if they didn't lift it. And I was missing you too much baby.» He tells me, and I can sense him smiling widely from the way he talks.

«I know it's only a week, but how are things back home

«Same old, same old. Just that school without you isn't the same. Everyone misses you so much.»

«I miss them too.»

«And me don't you miss me?»

«That's a given. You don't even have to ask.» I said with a giant smile.

«But where you were before? it doesn't look like a bookshop.»

«Well. I work at the bookshop once a week, and three days at a café» I tell him scrunching my nose.

He looked at me very disappointed. «What did we tell you? Not to exaggerate. You'll collapse sooner or later. You're such a pushover.»

«Sorry is just that this work at the café  jumped in front of me I couldn't say no.»

«Changing subject, Joy told me about your parents finding out about the tattoo. what's the sentence?»

«The worst Hobi, the worst. They want me to apply at least for a year to a university right here.»

«No, it's terrible. What we're gonna do without you for not only one but two years?»

«I told them that I would never, and if they forced me, I would run away and come back so they kidnapped my card and passport,» I tell him pouting.

«Don't worry, in that case, me and Joy will come to get you.»

He said with the most beautiful smile he could manage. An attack on my heart. I always had a soft spot in my heart for his smile.

After I got home, I heard Mom and Yoon-Suh squealing from the living room so I said bye to Hobi before my sis heard. When I close the front door mam calls for me. "Yoonah, come your school uniform arrived."

Damnit. I forgot that school requires a uniform. I never liked uniforms much but this one wasn't that bad. The school rules aren't strict so you can wear earrings and also have dyed hair, the only rule you must follow is to wear your uniform. It's ok, I think. Yoon-Suh must be happy since she can maintain her hair blond. She fought with our parents for a pretty long time before they gave in. strange because they would give in pretty fast for her.

"Yoonah, come to try yours on," Mom told me. I took the clothes from her and got to my room to change. I was looking at the mirror my reflection. That thing didn't look so bad on me. I took a photo and sent it to Joy and Hobi.

A light knocks at the door and Mom comes in. "How is it sweetheart?" she said looking at me through the mirror.

"It's a little bit large. There isn't a smaller one?"

"Honey, that's the smallest one." She tells me a little surprised. "Your sister fits it perfectly." Here we go again. I look at her, with my 'I don't want to listen' face. "I was just saying that the size is right for her. Since you two had always the same size I thought it was a perfect size. We can fix it. Let me see."

Said that she took all the measures. "I think that for 2 or 3 days you have to wear your clothes or a jumpsuit."

"Don't worry Mom I don't think that they would have any problems."
