"And I don't want to speak any more about it", he spoke and I quickly shut my mouth. Just like everyone, he must be having bad times. His mood completely changed when I asked that and he just barged out of the house. I guess it is more than bad.

That lil meow meow is actually not bad. He ordered the lunch the day before and even searched for my brooch. I felt so overwhelmed when I found that my brooch is on the table. My mind was an utter mess back then and I didn't even think of searching it under the bed.

He pretends to be cold and show that stupid attitude, but I don't think his personality is what he shows. He smokes to forget something implies how pathetic the betrayal must have been. I have never faced one, so I just can't say it.

I wonder what the lil meow meow is doing. Looking through the window, there I see him in his usual black hoodie and the smoke. I just wonder if the cigar stick is his soulmate. To be honest, I thought lil meow meow would be something funny, but as I am getting used to it, it is turning out to be cute. Ugh! What am I thinking about him?

I switched on the TV and watched a drama, the usual one. I wonder the love and the emotions they show on the screen would ever be real. Like, does being in love feel so beautiful? Oh my Jin Ae, stop thinking about the shit which doesn't happen in your life. I thought to myself and diverted my eyes to the drama box in front of me.

I checked my phone regarding any message related to job recruitment. I am waiting for the acceptance letter from the restaurant and then I will be busy the whole day. Time will not be wasted and I could earn more. Eomma, I promise I will make sure Jina is happy.

My phone vibrated and I looked at the screen. Call from Jina.

I smiled and picked the call. We talked for half an hour and I told her about the lil meow meow in my house and she found it hysterically funny. She even told about her progress and that she is doing well. I looked up and saw the paintings on my wall. I felt relieved that my sacrifice is being worthy.

"Eonnie are you okay?", she asked me breaking my trance.

"I am fine Jina. I guess your break is over. Take care. Fighting"

"You too take care of yourself eonnie. Love you", she spoke and I smiled at her words.

"Love you too", I spoke and hung the call.

I smiled to myself relieved that she is doing well. And as I turned my eyes, I saw lil meow meow standing at the door. He gave me a suspicious stare and walked to his room. What's wrong with him now?

I got up cooking lunch for both of us. I don't mind doing that as it doesn't cost much and that I consider myself generous despite the hate I have for him. And I am also being considerate about the extra payment of the rent.

I cooked Kimchijigae as I felt like eating that now and he should feel lucky to eat delicious food made by me. He should at least be thankful to have someone like me as a landlady and then I laughed to myself expecting that from that grumpy cat.

"Yah lil meow meow, will you have lunch or not? Kimchijigae is very nice you know?", I yelled resting my cheek on the door and he opened the door suddenly making me stumble on my leg. I had to hold the wall for balance. Aish! He doesn't even have minimum sense to hold me while I fall. I just shook my head in disbelief.

"Is it kimchijigae?", he asked looking at the dish on the table.

"Why? You are speaking like you have seen it for the first time", I spoke and sat down opposite him forwarding the bowl to him.

"I haven't eaten it in a while.", he blurted and I sighed. I thought he would be having some flashback of the dish just like they show in the drama.

"My hyung cooks it once in a while", he revealed and I widened my eyes. So, he is really having a story behind the dish. I am proud of myself for guessing it even before he reveals it. I could actually try for detective job then.

"What are you thinking so much?", he waved his hand in front of me and I was brought back to reality. What am I even thinking about? Me and detective? I am becoming a dumbass lately. Perhaps, the headaches are a sign that I am slowly becoming lunatic.

"Yah! Will you not eat? It will become cold", he spoke breaking my chain of thoughts. Ugh! I am thinking too much lately. We finished the lunch and he volunteered to wash the dishes. I readily agreed because why work yourself when you have someone to do it.

I got dressed into casual clothes and packed my medicines in the bag and left the house not before informing that lil meow meow. I still wonder why I got such a nickname for him. It really sounds funny when I call him that.

I walked to the café and the boss smiled at me widely. I greeted him back and returned to my work. I served the customers and helped with the bills today since one of the workers is on leave.

"Just tell me if it is becoming too much. I will assign someone else", the boss spoke and I shook my head in negation. This is really a simple work and he need not worry about it.

"It's fine sir. It isn't too much", I bowed and he smiled.

"Do I look old?", he asked me out of nowhere and I shook my head. He is very young to be called the boss.

"Then please stop calling me sir. You can call me by my name. I am Sanghyun if you don't know", he forwarded his hand and I shook it still unsure of what he is speaking. Does he want to become friends? But I just started my work here recently.

"Did you get that Jin Ae?", he asked me and I nodded. It is really weird to call your boss with their name. Why does he want that?

"I think the boss likes you", one of my colleague spoke and I shook my head vigorously.

"He just asked me to call by his name. Nothing more than that", I revealed trying to clear her misunderstanding.

"Then why didn't he ask us to do that. That's the first step every guy takes", she spoke and I ignored her words though they scared me a bit. What if he really likes me? What should I do? I sighed and shrugged away the unnecessary thoughts in my head.

As I kept working, a sharp pang of pain hit my head. Ahh! It's the same thing again. I am not even stressing myself. Why the hell does it pain like this? I walked to the store room where we kept our bags and kept tripping on the way. My vision became blurry and I searched the tablets. I couldn't identify the red one as my vision turned out even more worse.

"Which one?", a hand beside me grabbed the sheets of tablets.

"The red one", I spoke with the little energy left.

He placed the tablet in my head and I took it in my mouth.

"Sit down now", and my vision started to get clear. He is my boss.

"Are you alright?", he handed me water and I nodded.

"Come, let's go to the hospital", he made me stand up and I stepped back.

"It's okay. I get these often. They are common", I spoke not wanting to be taken there. I hate hospitals because of two reasons. One, they charge more and two, I lost my Eomma there.

"Why don't you just get them checked?", he spoke with a tone of concern and I shook my head. It's nothing serious and would really waste so much money.

"I am fine sir. The pain killers are enough", I explained and he took a sigh.

"Be careful next time and keep those medicines with you. And lastly, don't call me sir. My name is Sanghyun", he spoke and I nodded as if I was given orders.

"Yes sir, I mean Sanghyun", he smiled at my words and patted my head.

We walked out of the store room and he assigned the work of billing to someone else and insisted me to take some rest but I refused the offer. I just can't accept money if I don't work. I completed my work and left the café not before being told to take care of myself by the boss.

I went to the company building for cleaning. I hate this job out of all. I need to bend and clean all the corridors today and people keep walking by. It takes so much effort to control my urge to break the legs of the people who walk over the cleaned floors with the dirt on their shoes.

I received the wage and rushed to the convenience store as I am already late.

"I am sorry for being late", I apologised and the manager pulled my ears.

"When have you ever been early? If I start deducting your wage for the number of times you are late, you will be left with nothing", he spoke and I winced in pain as he kept pulling my ears. I kept blurting sorry and he left me. I rubbed my ears as soon as he left me.

I did my work as usual and it became late today. There were many customers and I kept billing continuously. I was afraid if I would get that head ache again and put the tablets in my pocket beforehand. As my shift got over, I got some snacks which were just about to get expired and thanked the manager for being generous enough.

I walked up to the house and found that lil meow meow on the couch waiting for me.

"Are you perhaps, waiting for me?", I asked and he simply nodded.

"I got the chicken feet for us and waited for you. Since you didn't turn up, I ate. You can eat yours", he spoke directing the food and I rushed to it. I am really hungry. I thought of munching the snacks from the store as dinner but chicken feet made my day. Or say this grumpy lil meow meow made my day. He just got up and went to his room. He didn't forget his daily warning though.

"Don't you dare disturb me until unless it's very necessary", I imitated his voice and chuckled at my own self. Chicken feet is really awesome, I drowned myself in their taste. I would always choose food over anyone.

I got bored after having the dinner and scrolled through the messages. My eyes popped out looking at a message. I was selected for the job for that restaurant. Oh My God, I just can't believe it. They wage they offer is incredible for my pathetic self.

I looked at the time and sighed when I have to assemble there at 9 Am exact. I got so much used to sleeping till that time. I don't think I can be awake by myself. Thinking about it, I got an idea.

"Yah lil meow meow", I knocked the door and he didn't respond. Did he sleep already? I knocked the door again and it slightly creaked open. I smiled.

"What do you want now?", he spoke with an irritating tone.

"I need your help", I told him and he looked at me with surprise.

"What?", he asked.

"You need to wake me up at 8 from tomorrow", I spoke and he looked shocked.

"Why the hell would I do that?", he spoke clearly showing his dislike towards my request.

"I need to go to a place early or else I will not be recruited. Please", I pleaded him and he stayed silent for a moment.

"What do I get if I do that?", he raised his brows crossing his arms on his chest. I thought for a while and something hit my mind. I don't know if this will work or not but I need his help somehow.

"I will help you quit smoking"
