Y/N's POV:

After leaving the cafe my feet just took me straight to where my heart wanted to go. The only place left where I can feel her presence. The tears burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down my face. I feel the muscles of my chin tremble like a small child. I look toward the grave "mom" I gasped as if she could soothe me. I hear my sounds, like a distressed child, raw from the inside. It takes something out of me I didn't know I had left to give.

I went back to my home after just releasing some burden that I had on my heart. But my eyes still dripped with tears. Salty drops fall from my chin, drenching my shirt. Perhaps these tears will help loosen the load on my heart. I press my head against the wall. I'm trembling. I can't-can't stop. Even as I press my hand against the wall it shakes, it trembles. I can't stop... I can't stop. Why can I not stop crying?

Maybe, crying is how I understand myself best!. When I cry I know who I am. I cry when I feel alone, downtrodden.

It's my strength and my weakness. Strong because it brings understanding and weak because who wants the listener to weep when they are looking for a strong shoulder? I wish I could turn my tears off, I do. Or perhaps just save it until I'm alone. My emotions swirl like ocean currents, deep and strong. Sometimes I'm scared to dive in, in case I don't make it out again.

*The sobs echoed through the empty house*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After resting a bit. I got ready for my second job. The one I hate the most. I got in a cab and reached there. As soon I entered there were not many customers at that time but my staff was staring at me like I have something on my face or I have stolen their precious thing, is it because I was crying? do my face looks puffy. No, it can't be I checked my face before leaving it was alright. Then what is with all these weird stares?

I straight went to the changing room, I  was opening my locker that 

"Y/N!!!"

" WHAT YHE HELL SARAH, are you out of your mind!?" I said with the same frequency she screamed...

"YN,YN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" she said grabbing me by my shoulders "our boss is looking for you everywhere. He's been waiting for you for hours. He literally has asked me many times when are you going to come. Wait! is it because of last night's incident? no-no that wasn't a big deal" and there she go again answering to her own questions.
"AHH! wait maybe it's because of that guy. what was his name..umm... Taeyang.. Taeyeon... Teayong..!? omg yn what happened to you" she widen her eyes, grabbed my face tilting it on both sides.

" Is it still prominent I tried to hide tho"

"Are you serious!? what the hell happened Yn?"

"nothing I-i just slipped... but what are you talking about?"

" Do you really think I would buy that? but are you ok! does it hu--" our conversation was intrepted by the knock at the door.

"Yn Mr Kang is calling you Hurry up,, his on upper floor" my other co-worker informed me.

"yeah ok! I'm on my way" i gave her a slight smile and nodded

"Gotta go, but just tell me, is he angry? Is it something bad? han!?" with a little nervousness on my face I asked Sarah.

" I can't tell that it's good oR bad" she said rubbing her chin " but one thing is confirm that I'm dying oF curiouStY toO. So hurry up and go. Because after that you have to tell me the whOle story" she circled her finger around my face pointing at those bruises and pushed me towards the door shoving me out and showing thumbs up.

After knocking at the door I peeked inside "oh Yn you are here come come!" He was acting a bit diFfErent. I stepped inside and stood in the corner with awkwardness. But before he could say anything, by seeing him in a bit good  mood i decided to apologize first for the last incident. They barely got into a fight because of me.

" Mr Kang I wanted to apologize for the last night. It won't happ-" and my heart skipped a beat when he intrepted me. Yn you better be prepare for another week of late night shift. But the words that came from his mouth were not just surprising but shocking too.

" No! just forget about that Yn. I didn't call you for that. that wasn't a big deal" he smiled showing me all his teeth, which wasn't a pleasant view tho. I mean like I have never seen him smiling to me. He always looks like he is going to eat me alive.

" I wanted to talk about your shift timings. I realized that it gets pretty late. So you can adjust the timing according to your liking" my eyes popped out. Am I hearing right? did he just literally said that? " And also I came to know that you are working at cafe in morning. So you must be so tired when you come here Right? So you can take weekend off from now on"  umm..should I be happy? I can't get why out of blue he's being so generous. And why out of this world only to me?

" But Mr Kang umm.. I don't get it" I finally spitted some words after having little shocks one by one.

"oh dear!" wait a sec when did I became dear to hiM  " don't worry yourself. I don't want to burden you. You are like my daughter" and then again he gave me his creepy smile " And also one thing more, since you are living alone it must be hard for you to pay utility bills and to manage all other stuff. I'll raise your pay" give me one hOly min to understand this. One by one i'm having a mini shocks which are suppose to make me happy but they are worrying me instead. in one night what happen with Mr kang that he is saying all of this. am I still sleeping, is this a dream! 

But then a thought clicked in my dumb mind. how did he know all of this? I never told him. did Sarah!? But why would she tell him about my personal life? 

"Yn are you listening?" he said raising his brows

" Yes Mr Kang, but can i ask  you something?" and his smile dropped, making him look even more suspicious. 

"Yes of course" 

" How do you know about all of this?"
