“I’m so tired…” I thought to myself as I slowly dragged myself to work. After staying up all night talking to Chunghei over the phone, this was the least that I expected. But telling me to miss work is something I’d never do unless it was an emergency.

Last night, even until the very end of our conversation, I couldn’t put in words that I like him.

I’m not going to lie about the fact that every time I see him, I still feel completely out of place and uncomfortably nervous. My heart even goes to the point where it starts skipping beats and the pace of my breathing goes completely abnormal. But is this what it’s like to like someone? Why do I feel like something’s missing?

D.O claims that he likes me and knows who I am but how about me?

I don’t know anything about him, other than his amazing voice when he sings.

I also never understand what’s going on in his mind when he can simply read mine. It’s not fair.

I want to get to know him more but how?

I sighed and continued walking.

I glanced at my watch briefly and then quickly once again to just confirm that my eyes are okay.

It’s 9:05AM, shoot! I started to run.

“Sorry I’m late!” I yelled as soon as I walked in the door trying to catch my breath.

A tiny middle-aged lady peeked out from behind the pile of boxes filled with clothes.

“O, Ara! You’re here! Thank god!”

I dropped off my belongings behind the cash register and then walked towards her. This cute and bubbly lady is Mrs. Lee, the owner of this small clothing store called ‘Cherish’. I was hired by Mrs. Lee during 2nd year; at that time, she didn’t really need to hire anyone as she is able to run the store all by herself absolutely fine. However, due to her kindness, she was willing to hire me. Since then, I was her only employee.

“A large amount of stock came in and I’ve been trying to organize it all morning… wahh!” she looked at me with puppy eyes
