After coming back from the pharmacy where Donghun brought some bandaids and antiseptic to clean the scratch from Jun's arm.

They now seat inside the coffee shop, where Jun takes a moment to appreciate the carnations flowers and sun flowers hanging from the roof. The tables had beautiful lamps all painted with small petals and flowers.

"I see you like nature" Jun comments as he presses send to a copy of his resumé to Donghun's email

"I love quiet places....so taking long hikes in the mountains, going to fields of lavender flowers or swimming with the beautiful blue ocean...is perfect for me", Donghun says and looks at the face of the other man seating across from him. That only smiles sweetly at him

"It suits you...so ask me anything" Jun says keeping that smiles of his

"It says here your last job was at a bank...you left today?" Hun asks as he keeps strolling reading into Jun's skills and background

"Yes...sadly they didn't required my services any longer" Jun says feeling now a bit nervous that he'll probably won't get a job

"So you're 25, are currently studying at the College Of Performing Arts And Sport.....and it says here you're a barista" Donghun says with a full smile on his face

"Yes, my father used to have his own shop...but closed it because he had other ambitions..I learned from him" Jun says confidently believing his skills would at least not disappoint him

"O.k. what about you prepare me a caramel macchiato all the ingredients are over the counter..." Donghun says and Jun nods blissfully

Junhee wants to work here, after all he still needs to pay for his part of the rent and food. At least he had a scholarship at his college so that helped lots, since his father helped pay for the other small part.

"You know what's amazing about coffee Mr.Lee?", Jun asks and Donghun looks up to see the busy man blending the ingredients

"The taste?" Hun asks and Jun finishes the coffee after 10 minutes, he places it in front of Donghun

"That is unexpected...it can go from bitter to the sweetest in just a second...one can never predict the out come" Jun says and Donghun takes a sip from the drink.

Feeling the cold drink bring joy to his taste buds

"I see...." Donghun says

"Yes?"

"So...can you start tomorrow?" Donghun asks without hesitation

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Jun comes back home at 10 p.m. that day. His friends waiting in their small apartment they had share for over a year now. Once he steps inside he sees his always bubbly and happy friend Somin is cooking something in the kitchen. Mean while Sehyoon is already seating in the living room. Plates and a big coke also place on the coffee table in the middle. The same they used as dinning table.

"I'm home" he says as he takes off his shoes

"Oh hi.!!", Somin says as she steps out of the kitchen, "where have you being we were worry"

"Sorry...I was at a job interview and then they needed me back at school to help out with the preparation for the summer festival" Jun says as he yawns loudly, his body feeling exhausted

"Job interview.!! That was quick....omg you're selling your body.!!" Somin says loudly that Sehyoon looks at him in shock

"Oh no, don't be that desperate.!!" Sehyoon says as he starts serving coke on three cups

"What noo.!! I stumbled this coffee shop...and I applied as a barista..." Jun says as he moves to seat next to Sehyoon in the living room

He takes a seat and plays a little with his silver ring, as he waits for the food to be ready

"So?" Did you got it?" Sehyoon asks

"Hey you lazy kid come help me.!" Somin says from the kitchen just meters away.

Sehyoon gets up and helps bring the pot of ramen and kimbap Somin prepared

"Yes I start tomorrow.!!" Jun says and they all clap happily

Jun looks at his friends, that turned now to his family

"Well what about school?" Sehyoon asks. Worry that the schedule might affect his studies

"I work from 8 to 4... I can move my classes to the night....is fine...I can handle it" Jun says

"Well but if it becomes to hard...just tell us, we'll find a way to help you" Sehyoon says

"Is o.k....you have helped me enough, I can do it" Jun says and Sehyoon smiles at his younger friends.

"What about we go out to celebrate after your semester is over...like a trip to the beach?" Somin says and the other two cheer to this

The two keep talking and Jun touches the band aid in his arm. Remembering the kindness of his now boss

He was so brave confronting that man for me...

Jun thinks and can't help feel a slight blush on his cheeks. That he wants to belive is from the hot ramen he's eating.
