The summer sun is already heating the streets of the busy Seoul city, and a hang over Donghun walks towards the Lee Coffee House to plan the grand opening after the few renovations they did to the place, to make it more fancier and youthful at the same time

It had being two years since his mother asked him to take care of this place

And it had being everything but easy.

The few employees they had worked  just a few months before they quit or needed to be fired for doing...well not too good for his business

"My head is killing me.!!" Donghun exclaims, as he unlocks the door and walks in. The purple bright color painted the walls, flowers were place everywhere and the lamps that lighted up the tables were painted with more flowers. Donghun is amazed at how pretty it turned out

He walks back of the counter, and towards the little office on the back. His office as manager of the place

"So this is how it turned out?" He hears and walks to the front, to see his mother there

"Yes, doesn't look great?" He asks expecting a reaction

"Is not really my taste baby but whatever you're the boss here...your father asks when will he get the money he invested on this place?" His mother says and Donghun swallows back his worry, since he also wasn't sure. Heck, he didn't even had employees at the moment

"I need to start selling and we don't have employees at the moment....we closed the place three months so the part timers already left of course", Donghun says with so much guilt

He has being also still working in a cosmetics company as marketing consultant to help pay the bills of this place.

"I know, and we trust you...."

"But not really that's why you're here" Donghun says and he takes a seat on an empty chair by the counter

"Just do better...I'll be back after our trip to visit your aunt in London" his mother says as she kisses his forehead , "Son...."

"...yes?" Donghun looks up and sees the worry on her mother's face but she just shakes her head

"Nothing....take care, I love you" she says and walks out

Donghun knows his mother gets worry that he might be too lonely or parties too much.

He goes back to his laptop and opens the e-mail to check for any applications sent to work here

"She doesn't need to worry about me....I'm ok" he says under his breath

Junhee keeps strolling through the streets, the heat starting to get to him.

He hears his cellphone ring, but he just ignores it. Is probably his friends texting trying to tell him, is going to be o.k.

He has being going from job to job ever since he arrived at Seoul. But he knew if he could find a job where he could do what he loves.

The ringing on his pocket was persistent and so he decides to text back
