6. Come Home Early.

Someone came quite early this morning, he parked his bicycle right in front of the place where he worked, not too condescending and not too respected. The most important thing is to be respected.

Anyone will feel very pressured, there is and is not a level of confidence in someone admitting his work. Ji Min is not that kind of person, the man who has a height of 173 centimeters is still confident even though he works without change.

Her job is only as a cafe waitress, and he has been doing it for the last five years. Not continuing his education to a higher level makes Ji Min believe and believe that his job will never fade and disappear, he is very comfortable, and Ji Min can't get a job that is higher than his expectations.

Graduating from high school makes Ji Min feel very grateful, not going to college doesn't mean Ji Min will be stupid forever. Learning can be from anywhere. Yes, for example, a very valuable life lesson.

Click.

The sound of the door opening because it was locked did not wake the person who was fast asleep in the corner of the room where he only slept using six chairs that were aligned.

"Good morning," said Ji Min to herself because she was the one who unlocked the caffe and left early as usual before Jung Ki came.

Unfortunately, when Ji Min intended to turn on the light a few minutes later, he was surprised by one person who was still sound asleep in his sleep, the same clothes he remembered yesterday, as well as a thick jacket that he deliberately wrapped around his upper body.

"Good grief!" Ji Min is surprised to see Jung Ki sleeping in this room even with the AC off. "Yes!" Ji Min shouted trying to wake Jung Ki who was asleep.

"Why?" Jung Ki muttered because he was very aware that tonight he slept in the cafe and only fell asleep at four in the morning even though it might be almost morning.

"You sleep here?" Ji Min asked which was a rhetorical question that didn't need to be answered either. "Yeah, I'm just tired of walking home." Jung Ki started to wake up, he didn't wake up. His eyes were still closed as he sat down and started to stretch all the muscles in his body

"Why didn't you tell me? If you said earlier that you were going to stay at the cafe, I would also sleep at the cafe too," said Ji Min friendly because he already considers Jung Ki as his brother.

"I didn't plan it either, so I don't know," replied Jung Ki, starting to take the first steps to take a shower. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Bro. I'm going to take a shower first, what time is it?" Jung Ki asked as he looked for the position of the wall clock in the room.

"Seven in the morning," Ji Min answered taking her job assembling the chair that Jung Ki had broken into a bed a few hours ago.

"Beo--"

"I know," replied Ji Min when he found out that Jung Ki would do the same thing by saying sorry and thank you.

"I'm sorry, Bro." Ji Min chuckled, he saw how Jung Ki chose to keep apologizing and was more serious in his stance to shower and clean up some.

Ji Min knows what Jung Ki carried in that huge bag, long ago. More precisely, six months and a year before yesterday, Ji Min looked at the big bag because it was accidentally closed.

At that time, Jung Ki was indeed angry, the man even silenced Ji Min for five hours of work in two days. Even though it was only five hours, Ji Min realized his mistake.

No matter how cold Jung Ki is, and busy with his affairs and silence, the man likes things beyond his mind.

Although there are almost three daily clothes to change (always bring more than three clothes) Jung Ki also brings toiletries and some of his fragrances which will make Ji Min uncomfortable.

"You still carry more than fifteen perfumes today?" Ji Min asked a little teasing Jung Ki because the man is very sensitive to smells.

"Bro, you are so annoying!" annoyed Jung Ki before being swallowed by the caffe bathroom door.

To be honest, things like this are very common sometimes. Jung Ki stayed alone, Ji Min stayed alone or maybe both of them chose to stay together at the cafe.

So for the openness of things, Jung Ki limits Ji Min a little. But since then Jung Ki seems to be getting used to it. Since Ji Min rudely opened Jung Ki's big bag.

"Jung Ki, why are you so cute with all the pink toiletries," muttered Ji Min choosing to clean the room casually letting Ji Min stay in her activities.

Fifteen minutes after Ji Min cleaned his workplace, the company was again only able to clean Jung Ki's work area where all the equipment was clean but deliberately prepared. Even thirty-nine minutes Jung Ki still hasn't come out of the bathroom. .Ji Min can only relent to keep opening the caffe even though it's still quite fast, seeing how Jung Ki will stay in the bathroom for more than fifty minutes, Ji Min chooses to keep talking to get an answer.

"Jung Ki, someone has ordered something," said Ji Min taking the attention of the man who was still busy taking a shower even though there was no sound of water at all.

"Bro, I just finished defecating and I haven't showered at all," shouted Jung Ki, answering with an answer that made Ji Min feel burdened. "Yes!" Ji Min shouted because she was running out of patience.

"Why are you crazy!" angry at the man again but from inside only the sound of running water made Ji Min even more emotional.

"Yes-yes, yes. Anyone would know if this is a natural disturbance, not because I made it up," annoyed Jung Ki resumed his shower letting Ji Min wait for him a little longer.

Ting!

The sound of the incoming bell ringing was heard, this time Ji Min was starting to get nervous, not playing. Jung Ki, who works as a barista, is still busy bathing in the bathroom, and there's already a customer that Ji Min didn't expect at all when he arrived.

"Well, that bastard," annoyed Ji Min chose to approach his first customer even before the cafe entry code started to open

"Excuse me, can I help you?" Ji Min asked still not as prepared as before. "Help? Isn't this a help center? I need a coffee substitute for breakfast, why is this cafe open too late?" asked the man making Ji Min swallow hard because this cafe is not ready to work because Jung Ki is a barista.

"Sir, sorry. But we still haven't opened, we open at eight-fifteen minutes past, and it's still forty minutes past seven. It's not our fault, sir." Ji Min gave a little understanding at least if now wasn't the place to open. If the first customer still needs a drink at this hour to replace breakfast, at least they don't go to this cafe because it's written that it's not yet open for the cafe.

"Sir, but we--" Not yet finished explaining to the maid earlier at least Ji Min could breathe a sigh of relief. Jung Ki is out, with his perfume and hair neatly arranged.

"Good morning, Sir." Jung Ki greets his first customer and immediately puts on an apron in its place.

"Bro Ji Min, just serve," said Jung Ki commanding Park Ji Min to serve him only. Ji Min's sharp eyes can only stare with friendly feelings at Jung Ki.

'It's all your fault, bitch!' Maybe if you explain Jung Ki knows that what Ji Min said is the same thing.

"Excuse me, sir, what would you like to order?" asked Ji Min choosing to give in because Jung Ki had managed to trick him into taking a bath. After almost seven minutes of them talking, the first customer order from Jung Ki is done.

Ji Min gives and nominalizes the order. "Thanks for my breakfast, kid." The man left and chose to continue his explanation again without saying much.

Now, Jung Ki gets a horrible look from Ji Min after the man opens the cafe by flipping the writing on the glass case door.

"Are you satisfied with dropping my pride in front of my first customer?" Ji Min asked making Jung Ki chuckle remembering what just happened. "That man was also my first customer, thank you, Bro Ji Min." Unlucky. Even now Ji Min always loses with Jung Ki's sweet words and attitude which always makes Ji Min unable to say anything even angry.

"You always set me up, and I can't say anything to get mad at you. Why are you so good at making me mad, dammit." Ji Min didn't look fine, the man could only be annoyed and relented to Ji Min.

But why is Jung Ki's girlfriend not Ji Min but Tae Woo? That's also one big problem that Jung Ki hasn't been able to solve.

"Why are you so sensitive, Bri." Jung Ki rolled his eyes lazily remembering what he saw pissed him off.

"I'm sorry," Ji Min said when she found out that what she did was completely out of control apologizing to Jung Ki.

"So tell me why you suddenly fell asleep in the cafe when you said you were coming home yesterday?" Ji Min asked seriously to Jung Ki who looked a little annoyed and sighed heavily

"I came home late, the door was locked and I went back to the cafe to sleep," replied Jung Ki, giving a clearer and more logical reason than before.

"Don't play with me, Jung Ki." Ji Min looks very used to the excuse that Jung Ki just said, the barista just chuckled at Park Ji Min's anger just now.

"Okay I will answer honestly now," said Jung Ki wanting to be a little more open to his coworkers.

"Someone made a mistake, and I had to make a mistake too. I did the same thing to cover up someone being angry with him. So, I purposely didn't go home so I could get into trouble too, can you believe it now Bro?" Ji Min furrowed his brows slowly, he understood a little but didn't understand what was going on.

"Jung Ki," Ji Min called for a moment, but the message notification from Jung Ki's cellphone started to cut the man from replying. "Later," he replied.

(Why don't you come home tonight? Don't uncle's house make you comfortable? You work, uncle knows. But not with dirty work like this, Jung Ki. You are uncle's responsibility.)

(Come home early tonight, your uncle insists and needs an excuse from you.)

Jung Ki sighed heavily, the old man could only sigh heavily.

"Bro, I'm in trouble because of someone. I can't say who that someone is."
