Wednesday afternoon.  3pm to be exact; the bell just rang, signaling that school for today was over. Jungkook hastily put his books and other things back into his bag before he stood up from his seat and gave his friends a small wave, “I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” He picked up his bag from the desk, swung one strap over his right shoulder and went straight to the gates; smiling, as he was finally out of the hellhole.

Jungkook had work after school. He got a part-time job at a small café not too far from his high school. He could ride the bus to get there but he preferred to walk. Besides, the weather was great; he only rode the bus when it rained.

It took him twenty five minutes to get to his workplace. But if he didn’t stop to snack on some food on the street, he would’ve gotten there in just fifteen minutes.

“Oh, you’re here?”  Jimin, a guy who also worked there and was busy wiping dry some glasses, said.

“Yeah, hyung. I’ll just go change into my uniform. I’ll be right back.” Jungkook answered.

He went to the back of the room where the employees’ lockers were located and placed his bag inside his locker. He then slowly stripped off his school uniform and changed into some khaki pants and white polo shirt; slid the strap of a black apron over his neck and lastly, pinned his name tag on his left chest.

He did a quick mirror check before he went back to the counter to start his shift. But it wasn’t until 10 minutes later when Jungkook ‘s first customer entered the establishment.

“Hi. What can I get for you?”  He smiled.

“Uhm..”  The girl muttered, looking at the chalkboard menu on the wall. It took her almost a minute to decide what she’d get.

Jungkook was about to give her some recommendations when she finally told him what she wanted.  “I’ll have one Grande-sized Vanilla Frappe.”

“One Vanilla Frappe. Grande.” Jungkook repeated the girl’s order, punching keys on the cash register.

“And oh, Can I also have one glazed donut please?” She added.

“Of course, so that’s one Vanilla Frappe and one glazed donut.” Jungkook said as he continued registering the girl’s order on the system.

“Do you want to add whipped cream on your frappe?” He asked.

“No, thanks.” She answered, almost instantly.

“Okay, that’ll be $8.79. May I have your name?” He asked, with a grande cup on his left hand and a marker on the right.

“It’s Seri.” She answered, “And oh, wait.” She went on, kind of struggling to get her money from the back pocket of her backpack since she was also hugging a pile of books in one arm.

“Do you want me to help you with those books?” Jungkook politely asked, seeing how the girl was struggling. “You can place them here on top of the counter if you want.” He suggested.

“Oh, no no. It’s fine. I- I got it. See?” She smiled, holding up a ten dollar bill. “Here.”

Jungkook laughed, quite amused. “I received ten dollars.”

She nodded, almost falling. She let out a small laugh and readjusted the books she was carrying.

Jungkook briefly looked at her and smiled again. “Here’s your change, Miss Seri.” He said as he handed the girl her change. “I’ll just bring your orders to your table.”

“Thanks.” She responded, struggling again to put the change in her front pocket.

The rest of the shift was boring for Jungkook. The café didn’t have that much customers today. Apart from that one girl, a couple and a few students from the nearby all-girls school, there was nobody else.

He basically had a lot of free time so he spent it by making his homework for tomorrow. When he was done, he was sent out to buy dinner for both him and Jimin. They didn’t eat together though, they took turns in eating. Jungkook had his dinner first and Jimin ate after him.

But even after having dinner, there weren’t still that many customers; so Jungkook decided to just play games on his phone.   

“Hey.” Jimin lightly smacked Jungkook, who was still playing, on the shoulder. “It’s already 7:45pm, you can go now.”

Jungkook glanced at his watch.  “Oh is it already?”  He stood up from where he was seated and went back into the locker room to get his bag. He quickly changed into his school uniform again, not wanting to miss his 8pm bus ride home. “Hyung, I’m leaving now. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He practically screamed, seeing that Jimin was on the other side of the café, cleaning up a table.

The older guy only responded with a nod and a wave.

Jungkook then rushed to the bus stop as he only had a few more seconds to spare. He got in there just in time. He got on the bus and got off on the second stop.

He came home to an empty apartment. He lived with his mom who he only got to see in the morning. She’s a nurse who has her shift until 12am and Jungkook could never stay awake that late.

He went inside his room, threw his bag on the side and jumped on his bed. He only planned to close his eyes for a short while but he eventually, drifted off to sleep. Still in his uniform.

A/N: this was short and rushed, i'm sorry.

I'll do better next time :)
