Chapter 3

I know we haven't gotten into anything interesting yet. I'm sorry. It's been a lot of sibling moments so far but I promise stuff is coming up. Enjoy!

When my sister finally came to the front, we waited for Jimin.

"Okay so what we will do is wait for Jimin to come out. Let him think we are going home and then we'll walk around and look. But you've gotta play it cool," Mina explained. I nodded.

Jimin walked out of the school wearily. He clearly didn't want to work but when he saw us he put on a smile. "Hey guys I'm gonna head out to work! Do you guys want the car or will you be good walking home?" Jimin asked sweetly.

"Jimin you are the one who is working! You take the car we will be fine!" Mina exclaimed.

"You guys know I feel bad. My dear sisters should not have to walk!" Jimin whined.

"We aren't babies Jimin! You don't have to take care of us every second. I promise you we will be okay!" I said. He nodded reluctantly before driving away.

"And the Park sisters strike again!" I called out. Mina laughed. We started walking in the opposite direction of our house. We passed many stores but none of them needed help.

"Urgh! Why is finding a job so hard?!" I whined.

"Welcome to the real world baby sis," Mina sighed. We were about to give up until we saw a help wanted sign on a coffee shop. We both perked up as we stumbled in excitedly.

"Hi there! We were wondering if we could apply for the help wanted?" I asked.

"Oh sure," a worker said. "We need the people who make the coffee so I guess you two are perfect. Welcome to the job," the worker said wearily.

"Do we need to interview or anything? Anything we should know about?" Mina asked.

"If you know how to make the customer's order then you should be fine," the worker yawned.

"Umm...well who's our boss then?" I asked.

"You're looking at her."

"So who else works here then?" Mina asked.

"No one. Welcome to the team. My name is Lee Lily, but you can just call me Lily. We just opened so welcome to the Caramel team. In case you didn't know that's the name of this shop." We nodded. We took the aprons and started working. Surprisingly for it just opening, it is very popular. Lily stood at the register while Mina and I stumbled around in the back, making the stuff.

"Hey Lily?" I asked, when the rush slowed down.

"What," she responded, nonchalantly.

"What time does our shift start and end?" I asked.

"I'd prefer that you start from ten till four, but I don't think that'll work will it?" She said.

"Uh no. We have school from seven to one," Mina chimed in.

"Well then you work from one ten to five." We both nodded.

I walked over to Mina and asked, "When does Jimin's gig get over?"

"I think six thirty. But you know sometimes he works later for extra cash," she replied. I nodded. So we would be able to get home without Jimin thinking we were ever gone.

We had been working so diligently that we didn't even notice it was almost closing time. It was four fifty. But just as we were wiping tables down and cleaning up, someone walked in.

I silently groaned. "Hi sir! Welcome to Caramel what can we get you!" I exclaimed. Since Lily worked from ten till four she had left us to clean up and take care of the after four customers.

"Hi. Can I have a caramel macchiato?" He asked. I nodded and started Mina on making it while I took his cash.

"Thank you!" I said. While he waited for his drink, I couldn't help but acknowledge his features. He looked very familiar for some reason. Dimples when he smiled, surprisingly skinny torso and legs, glasses, blonde hair that swept neatly over his face, puffy lips, deep and lush brown eyes, and a slightly upturned nose. I was mesmerized by his features. He looked so familiar. I've seen him somewhere before, I swear!

"Sorry to disturb you but I was wondering if you knew where the Busan District Center is? It's where my new house is," he asked shyly. I nodded and told him the directions. He looked young, about eighteen or nineteen. He thanked me a thousand times before taking his macchiato and leaving.

"He's so your type," Mina teased.

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"Duh! You were totally checking him out!" Mina teased again.

"Oh hush!" I angrily said. We quickly cleaned everything, and placed our aprons on little hooks on the wall. And then with that we locked up the shop smiling proudly at our first day of work success. "How much money will we get at the end of the week?" I asked.

"Well I think right now it'll be fifteen dollars an hour, so sixty bucks a day. So by the end of the week we will make three hundred dollars," she excitedly said.

"Yay! Seoul here we come!" I called out. When we got home it was about six.

"I didn't realize it was so far away from home!" I huffed in exhaustion. Luckily Jimin wasn't there so we made it look like we'd been home for awhile. We quickly did our homework and then threw stuff around like we usually did. Mina decided to take a nap on the couch, while I decided to watch some K-Dramas. Jimin came back at around six forty five.

"Is she asleep? Good, I have exciting news!" He excitedly whispered. "So Mr. and Mrs. Kim along with Jin hyung, are gonna fly out here for our birthday! Since our birthdays are on Saturday we decided to make this her birthday gift! We can say it was from both of us! Isn't that awesome!"

"Really?! Yay! I'm so excited!" I whisper yelled.

"Me too! But don't think she's getting the best gift. You're getting a gift you will love a lot too. In fact it'll make you worship me, it's that good!" Jimin said cocky.

"We will see," I teased. He rolled his eyes. I was really tempted to tell him about our successful work day but I kept my mouth shut.

"Hey Y/N come help me with dinner," Jimin called from the kitchen.

"A father's duty is never done, is it?" I joked, teasingly.

He rolled his eyes, "Chop the veggies and meat," he ordered. I started on my task. I couldn't help but think of that person at the coffee shop. His face was so familiar and it was killing me that I couldn't name him. That same jumpy face and body proportion rang in my mind. I get really frustrated when I can't remember.

I did it guys! We are getting somewhere with this story finally! Remember comment if you are confused or have anything you want to say. Happy reading!
