Part Time Jobs And Beauty

I couldn't believe my eyes, so I rubbed it and blinked twice to see clearly but I was right it was none other than Jung Ji Hoon.

"that's suspicious, that's weird" i kept my hand on my chin as i was lost in my thought.

...

I am in a taxi , on my way to various shops looking for a part time job. Meanwhile my head is dazzled with thoughts, a lot is going on in my head "what could have happened with Jung Ji Hoon?"; "why was he so badly injured?"; "Did he really want to meet my mum and if it was, then how did he got to know about her?"; "why did he go with the police?"; "and my mum.."; "is she really in depression?"; "and if it is can we afford her medical expenses to cure her depression?"

I dig my nails in my hair "Aagh my head it's gonna burst out with the load of these thoughts".

Taxi driver looked at me through his interior rear view mirror and asked "Girl is everything okay?"

"yes I guess" I pursed my lips together.

"you know my mother used to say this, fall seven times, rise eight, so never give up no matter how hard time it is" his face is gloomy.

"Thank you, i needed that quote" I replied with a smile on my face.

Then I asked with a gloomy smile "You are missing your mum right?"

"of course mom.. no one can replace her, it's her death anniversary today" then he went into a pensive thought.

"I'm so sorry, may her soul rest in peace" I gave him a smile and a vivid image of my mum appeared in my mind.

.....

I took a deep breath and went into a book shop, I thought book store would be the best choice for me to work as I love reading.

"Hello , I saw this pamplet that you're looking for a part time worker"

Owner was reading a newspaper and didn't say anything, just took a glance at me through the corner of his newspaper.

I continued "I am interested in working here" and then I bowed down with full intensity "I promise I'll work hard"

"Not interested in hiring you" he said blandly

"If you could consider me just for once.." he then gave me another furious look after which I couldn't say anything else.

I left that store and went to another five various stores but they all rejected me, I wonder why?

I again gave it a try and went inside a flower shop, the owner was a bit old maybe in her early fifties.

I bowed down and said "Hello ma'am"

"what do you want to buy" she asked impassively

"Actually I am here for part time job" i joined my index finger of both the hands together and looked at her optimistically.

"have you looked at yourself? With that face of yours no one would ever hire you for part time job and especially not in a flower shop like this, flowers are beautiful, they won't even hire you in a thorn shop" she sneered .

I got my clear cut answer so without bothering her anymore I left that flower store and sat on a bench in a park nearby that flower shop.

I can't believe that even while giving you job they care about your looks. On the second thought I can understand, it must be to lure customers with pretty faces workers.

"Now what would I tell mum? Should I give up?" I whimpered

but then I remembered what that taxi driver told me "Fall seven times, rise eight" a flame of hope again started burning inside me and I decided I'll give myself another chance, I firmly determined.

I went inside another shop, it's a cafe.

Owner was reading a book while drinking her coffee and the moment she looked at me I was mesmerized.

She seems to be in her early thirties and I feel nothing but intimidated in front of sensational beauty of hers.

I became more nervous as I was before and messed up my first impression "Hello.. name is my ..Ha , work.. here.."

she scowled at me and I lost all of my confidence.

First impression is the last impression, I think I should give up here.

But atleast I should try to fix my mistake so I tried again "Hello, my name is Ha Na and I would love to work here for part time job" I bowed down.

"I promise I'll truly work hard and I'll prove my worth" she is still just scowling at me

"I guarantee you won't regret hiring me, please give me a chance" I said in a rush and quickly closed my eyes and winced because I can't bear to listen another 'no'.

I slowly opened my eyes again only to find that she is staring at me and has a smirk on her face.

"Ok start to work today only and I'll judge you and give points accordingly if I'll feel you're suitable for this I'll hire you"

I bowed down again and again for three to four times just to thank her "I'll prove my worth, thank you so much for this opportunity" I groaned.

I finally saw a smile on her face.

I quickly got changed in my work clothes and started my work.

I cleaned the table and arranged all the equipments, then served our first two customers what they asked for.

My boss was looking at me from the corner of the cafe and I can see half suppressed smile on her face. Then she went outside, maybe for fresh air.

I was washing cups then our next customer came. He sat on one of the chair and was going through the menu.

I looked at his broad back, his white shirt reminds me of Ji Hoon, I wonder what's going through him. Is he Okay?

Wait a minute why am I worrying about him, fuck him and his shits I don't care.

I went towards that customer to ask for his order

"JUNG JI HOON!!!"
