Replenish

{A NEW DAY}

Shin wakes up as he blinks twice. Then he looked around and saw no one around. No one in the room except him on the bed.

He looks at the clock in the wall afterwards, to look at the time. But to his surprise, it's already 9:50 AM. So he quickly went to the bathroom to just wash his face, then ran to the cabinet to pick his uniform.

But as soon as he opens the cabinet, he is surprised again.

"Huh?... These aren't my clothes… Wait, I didn't even have clothes!"

To his confused state, processing that clothes he's looking were not his clothes or rather there are some clothes. But to be exact, it's women's clothes. But because he has just woken up, he has not realized it yet. So he continued looking from cabinet to cabinet for some clothes, and to be expected it was all for women.

"Why are all the clothes for women?! Wait…"

As to his complaint, he soon realized something.

He looks around the room properly and realizes it seems different. The room was a little feminine. The item there was for a girl.

"This is… this isn't our room!?"

He just realizes that he's in a different room. The fact that the clothes and items were different confirms it.

So he began thinking.

This is not our room. What room am I in right now? And why did I wake up here? What did I do yesterday?

In those thoughts, I remember what happened. I remember that we're in commission and I got injured, so we went here and Elin healed. Then Kylo left me here to take a rest, and so I ended up falling asleep here.

"Means… I'm in Elin's room."

Knowing that I'm in a different room, the fact that I look at their clothes, the bra and panties. Just the fact that I did that, I became nervous. So I quickly left the room before they found out.

I run the fastest I can from the girl's side to the boy's side and enter our room. Luckily, no one saw me exiting Elin's room. It's going to be bad for me if they think of me as a pervert.

"Phew… I hope they don't find out. To be honest, I don't even know if the clothes were in a mess when I left the room."

It gave me chills, so I hope it's not messed up.

I stop thinking about it to not jinx it.

"Right, what am I doing again?"

Right, I'm already late for work.

Without taking a rest, I immediately wear my uniform and run out the hallway.

🏃🏃🏃

I've reached the main front desk.

"Oh, Shin, where were you? I didn't even see you once since at the canteen. And… Why are you out of breath?" Sam asked me when I just arrived there and tried to take my breath.

My breath slowly becomes normal. "Ha…ahaa… i… I was late…"

"Huh?"

"I woke up late. I just woke up."

"Then… you went down here without eating breakfast?"

"Yea… I didn't even take a shower…"

"It's bad for your body to work with an empty stomach. You should eat first."

"It's fine, it's fine, I can hold it until break time. Look, there's a guest."

"Hey–"

I ignored what Sam said and went straight to the guest. I can wait and work first until break time. But… I didn't expect that I would be easily hungry since I started working. My body felt weak and I easily shivered. I can't muster any strength to lift anything, but since it's work, I give my all to last longer until break time. Even though many times I fall while working, I still stand up and do what I can.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yea… I'm fine."

Luckily, some guests are concerned and make the job not hard for me. But some others are mad at me for being slow.

Even in this situation, I still continue to work.

🕤🕙🕛

"S-Sam… w-what… time is it?..."

"It's already 11:59."

"Finally… it's already break time…"

Sam sighed. "I told you so, you should eat first before working… Eh?! Shin, where are you?"

"Down… here…"

"Eh? What happened to you?"

"I can't feel energy on my feet. I have been working nonstop, going back and forth here, and holding my hunger made me weak."

Sam sighed. "Look at you, didn't I tell you that you should eat first? Here, let me help you." She picked me up and assisted me to walk. "Let's go eat."

"Don't force yourself to carry me."

"I'm fine… don't underestimate us girls. This is nothing."

"Then, thank you."

"Alright, let's go."

We start walking now, but not the direction of the elevator.

"Wait, isn't the elevator there? But why are we heading there?"

"You need to gain energy first."

"Yea, but isn't the canteen at the top? So where are we going now?"

"We're going to the café."

"Huh!? Why there?!"

"Why? To eat probably!"

"Eat there?! But I don't have any money at all. So, let's not eat there."

"No money? No problem, I will treat you."

"But it's your hard work to get those."

"No, no, it's okay. Just think of it as a token of friendship."

"Oh… then I will take that offer."

Token of friendship… all that time we're doing during break time, what should friends do?

"Plus, I'm just sitting there giving keys. It was really pretty boring."

So… having s*x is her enjoyment? I want to say it to her but i don't want to ruin our… this relationship… a friendly relationship perhaps, so i didn't tell her.

"Oh, we're at the café already."

We entered the café and picked a table. After we sat down, Sam called the waitress. "Sara!" and so the waitress headed to our table.

"Huh, you know her?"

"Well, yeah. Since I've been going here to eat. How can I not know yet?"

"Ah…"

Right, she's been working here for a long time, how can she not know?

"Miss Sam, can you not call my name when there's a customer?"

"Right, sorry."

"So, what did you call me here for?"

"We're going to order."

Sara looked at me for a second, then looked back at Sam. "Sir, Ma'am, what's your order?"

Sam takes the menu and starts picking, "We like whole of these, whole of these, and whole of these."

She ordered that many… is she going to eat that by herself?

"Is that all, ma'am?"

"Yes."

"What about you, sir?"

"Ah, he and I just share."

When Sam said that, Sara looked at me with her eyes without moving her head.

"Ok, got it. Sir, ma'am, just wait for your order."

Then Sara left us.

"So… why are you late?"

Not any second after Sara left, Sam asked me right out of the bat.

But the reason was… should I tell her? They said, it's normal for them.

"Have you heard about the commission?"

"Yea. It's like our second job. Why did you ask?"

"Yesterd… earlier midnight was my first time."

"Oh, so you had your first job. So how is it?"

"Pretty… frightening I guess?... I got abducted and almost died–"

"Woah, stop!"

"Why?"

"There's other people here. They might hear it."

"Oh, right, sorry."

"Tell it to me later, when we go up."

"Yea."

"Sir, ma'am–" After some time that not long ago, Sara arrived with our order. "Here's your order." After putting down our order, "Now then, enjoy your date." she said that, then left afterwards.

"Wha…"

"Hmm?... Well, I did think that way."

It was shocking and felt embarrassing when Sara said that. While Sam didn't bother her at all.

"Now let's eat." Before Sam eats, she looks at me. "Hmm? Are you blushing?"

"N-no, I'm just hungry."

I denied and started eating. But the way I ate was very embarrassing. I eat like a pig, swallowing as fast I can, like I didn't eat for days. I can't stop eating like that 'cause like I'm hungry as hell. Every time I swallow the cake we ordered, the energy is replenished. My weak feeling was slowly fading.

"Fufu…"

"What?"

While I'm eating, Sam is just there watching me as I swallow everything.

"Just how hungry are you?"

Asking me like that made me embarrassed. "I'm like hella hungry. Anyway, why are you not eating? Did you really order this to watch me eat this up?"

"Pretty much. I thought it would be fun if I watched you eat."

"You… Help me out here."

"I think you're still hungry. You should eat it all."

"No, help me out."

"Ehhh. But I will gain weight if I eat that much."

"You… you ordered this many, and you're going to make me handle this?"

"Right, right, sorry. I will eat too. But if I gain weight, help me to work out."

"Yeah, I will."

Sam starts eating too, but the way she eats was expected of a girl. She ate little, and in the end I'm still the one who finished all of it.
