Present Day

  Soojung checked her clock and the small hand was reaching 1AM. She knew that she should go to the room right now and talk to Jongin about their relationship, but it's getting too late, he's probably asleep, and she cannot risk waking up late tomorrow. Soojung finally found an open barista position at the local artisan cafe, which she personally loved and spent a lot of time in.
