I started the day with a little difficulty as i struggled to wake up myself in the morning because we slept past 1am yesterday night. I could tell that both Haneul and Yewean wanted to share the room but was wasy too shy to say that so I asked Haneul to sleep in our room and I slept on the couch. As good as a nap on the couch sounds, it is a pretty painful and uncomfortable place to sleep through the night.
I thought to myself that today might be a normal peaceful day without any problems and I will try to apologize to Ahana too if possible while I was brushing my teeth.
It was almost time for the shop to open, I was a little late to work today but manage to be ready for the shift before the shop opened. Jaehyun was working on the the second aisle and there was a line of five people on the cash counter so I had to work faster. It was a moderately busy day today.
After the five people left more people kept coming once in a while. It was almost time for my shift to get over but I was having a lot of work left unfortunately, so Jaehyun came to my rescue and helped me out with my work.
We were almost finished with my work, when I heard a very similar voice from behind me and I started sweating immediately. Jaehyun frowned at my noticeable change of behavior.
"Excuse me?" the person said from behind me and I was so sure that it was her and I didn't wanted to face her.
"Yes mam, how can we help you?" Jaehyun asked as I was unable to even move.
"I-I ummm.....need to ex-exchange some stuff" she stammered.
"Sure mam, please give your bill and the product to him and he will do the nedded" Jaehyun said pointing at me.
"Namchan, help the customer, what's wrong with you?" Jaehyun asked with a serious tone and went back to his work.
We faced each other and it was an awkward silence surrounding us. We both didn't say anything and the exchange of the product was done in total silence. Ahana looked at me with expected eyes as if she was trying to say something to me. I bet I was in the same condition because I really did needed to say something but at the most important moment my toungh gave up and no word came out of my mouth.
And just like that the chance that walked upto me just left out of the door and left and I cursed myself in dispair.
As Ahana left, Jaehyun came upto me. I looked at him to find him smirking at me and I knew again I dragged myself into this and gave Jaehyun another chance to wrap his over imaginative thoughts around my brain.
"So, that was the girl, that was stuck in your brain, huh?" Jaehyun asked with an excited yet confused look.
I nodded but didn't protested against his choice of words because I knew it would be useless as he would impose his thoughts anyway. I changed from my uniform and took my bag to head out to catch the bus to university while Jaehyun kept on talking about me and Ahana and how I got nervous around her, etc. and I just sighed in annoyance.
