"So, you fell in love?" asked Taehyung.
"Yup," I answer taking my seat and putting books on the table. It has been a whole week now since my last encounter with that mysterious guy and I still didn't get over him. I truly did fall in love.
"How does he look like?"
"Beautiful. Very beautiful. Blue mint hair, small eyes just like nose and lips, pale skin, he likes to wear black. That day when I was chasing you, I collided with him and he was so cold toward me. Someone would think that his heart was a stone but in the cinema... In the cinema, I felt his warmness and kindness." I explained with a huge smile plastered on my face.
"Dude, you're head over heels for him!"
"I know..." I admit it like a happy little child.
The class started and ended quite quickly. This was the first time that I didn't pay any attention to it. I was only thinking of him. What's wrong with me? I wonder where he is now and what is he doing...
After school, as usual, I went to a cafe with Jungkook before heading home. When I came back, mom was talking something with dad but I wasn't listening to them. Well, at least that's what I thought.
"What are we going to do now?! This was all your fault!" mom said to dad, quite angrily.
"Please stop! We'll find a way!" dad tried to calm her down.
"How?! We have no money! Try to understand that!!" she yelled at him again and I just went to my room, locking the door. Do we have no money? But how? We had enough to pay the bills and buy food. Why so sudden? I took a deep breath and called Jungkook and Taehyung.
"What is it Chim Chim?" answered Jungkook.
"I have a problem."
"What's it about? Is it about that peppermint?" asked Taehyung.
"No. I need to find a job."
"Job? Why?"
"Doesn't matter. Give me some suggestions."
"I have it! I saw that peppermint of yours," said Jungkook, picking up my interest.
"Where?! And what does he have to do with this?"
"He often goes to one cafe and that cafe is looking for a part-timer. What else do you want Hyung? You get to work and earn money and also see your sweet peppermint." Jungkook said making me smile.
"Sure!! We're going tomorrow!"
"We? Why do we have to go with you?!" asked Taehyung, pout evident in his voice.
"Because I said so! See you tomorrow and thanks a lot!" I hung up and laid down on the bed. That means I'll be able to see him from now on. I smile widely and hug the pillow. I can still feel his warmth and smell his scent. I can't wait to see him.
The next day at school went by real quick and it was time for us to go to the cafe Jungkook suggested for me to work at.
"This is the place?" I asked, a bit confused as we were standing in front of some old shabby bar. At least that's what it seemed to be to me.
"Yup." Jungkook simply replied. We get in and it seems to be much nicer than it looked like on the outside. I guess it's true that you can't judge a book by it's cover.
"I thought it was a restaurant or a bakery, but this... This is a bar." I look around myself and see many drunk men and a lot of broken glasses and bottles... And smoke.
"That peppermint of yours is quite dangerous, huh?" stated Taehyung after seeing the place.
"I guess..." I smile a bit and walk over to the bar. "Good afternoon."
"What can I do for you?" the girl replied.
"I came because of the job offer."
"This way sir."
She took me to one of the offices that were at the back of the bar. Inside it, I was greeted by a guy in his mid-twenties. I assume he started working quite early or he inherited the bar from his parents or grandparents since he didn't seem to be much older than me. He was quite tall and had very sharp facial features. His wide shoulders were very noticeable in that pinkish shirt he was wearing. It was perfectly matching his plumb lips. I spoke with him for about 20 minutes, before finally agreeing to accept the job.
"Thank you, Mr. Kim."
"Please, call me SeokJin. Or just Jin for short." I nod and get out of the office.
"And?" Jungkook came up to me the moment I went out.
"I got the job."
"Yes, Hyung!"
"What's with him?" I ask after glancing over at Taehyung.
"Ohh... He got drunk."
I couldn't keep it in so I burst out laughing at Taehyung who was drawing something in the air and laughing like a retard. He still has a lot to learn.
