My break has finally began.

I make my way over to the back room of the coffee shop where my two coworkers were talking about something, talking about me.

"I heard Johnny's ex went and bought coffee earlier and made a scene. Can you believe her?" My coworker Dahyun says in astonishment, whispering.

"I actually can. I mean, Johnny left her for someone else! One day, Johnny's just gonna run out of people to replace his exes with. Gosh, he's so full of himself!" My other coworker, Sola, answers.

I make my way to where they were and slam my hands on to the table that was between them. Shock was apparent on their faces.

"Can you not talk about other people's relationships at work?" I ask with an annoyed voice.

They both sigh and roll their eyes.

"Oh, and can you just back off entirely, please? It's not my fault the both of you don't have good flirting skills and looks like I do."

I exit the back room with furrowed eyebrows, not bothering to engage myself with individuals like them. My ears catch something before leaving.

"God, what a narcissistic jerk!"
