Hee Yeon's POV
I am standing in a disarrayed line with my coworkers waiting for our paycheck to be given since it got delayed last week. I can't take my mind off of the fact that I'm receiving my raise today. I stand in line quietly waiting for my turn and not interacting with anyone.
A few of them are actually chattering in front of me, talking about going out for a drink after they get their paycheck after the shift is over.
"Hee Yeon! You're receiving your raise today right? Come and join us!" one of them turns to face me poking his elbow on my side, a situation I am not comfortable with. So, I just shook my head to disagree.
"Yah, you said you are going to treat us once you get your raise right?" said the other, grinning widely.
"Yes, I remember but I don't drink. Sorry," I say giving off a little fake smile. I am really not fond of drinking nor partying so the whole idea isn't very ideal for me.
"C'mon it is going to be fun! You won't have to drink if you don't want to. Just stay for the food and karaoke," says the first one, anchoring his arms on my shoulders. "Don't worry, you're not the only girl," he adds as he winks at me.
I removed his arms by shaking my shoulder off. I really don't like people touching me. Before they could say or do anything else I agreed to go with them so they won't bother me anymore.
There'll be no harm done if I go with them, right? I mean, I've been working with these people for six months so they won't probably do anything stupid. And of course I have to stick with my promise of treating them out when I get my raise.
It's finally my turn. While my paycheck is being processed, all I can think about is how I will spend it. Should I go shopping? Or go on a vacation to my hometown to treat my mom out? And then go and treat Jimin after since he has been such a great friend lately.
