Birthday Wish
The StoriesPrompt : I just want to sleep
Clock strikes twelve o'clock and it's my birthday. Unfortunately for me, I have to work extra hours today because they were short in hand in the restaurant. I wasn't planning on working late but my boss keep begging me to cover the shortage due to the emergency leave of some staffs. To be honest, I already have a plan for the next morning but seeing my boss, who is kind towards me, I couldn't reject it. Besides, you can say that I'm close to her because I'm one of the earlier staffs that working in the restaurant.

“I’m serious Jihyo. You’re late. Wake up now or you going to regret sleeping some more minutes.” she says, giving me the warning. I groan, scolding myself for forgotten to let her know that I'm off.
“I’m off today.” I say and turn to my side, facing the opposite side of her. I hug a pillow besides me and and buried my face onto it.
“Are you? Are you sure?” she says, wanting my confirmation, which I reply with a hum, too sleepy to say a word.
