Chapter 6

Shooting Star

Jung Taekwoon. I couldn't get him out of my head. His angelic, soft voice made my heart race all the time. His gentle smiles 
made me want to see more of it. Jung Taekwoon. The more I spend time with him, the more I want to stay even longer by
his side. It was another day training him. It was a breeze. Taekwoon was a quick learner. "Jungah noona." Hongbin smiled.
"Hongbin-ah! Are you all better?" I questioned. He nodded. "I just came in to check when I work next." I smiled, "Alright.
By the way, this is Jung Taekwoon. He's new." I introduced the two to each other. They bowed and greeted each other then
Hongbin went to the back to check the schedule. My omma came out with a puzzled face. "Jungah, do you know where 
Jaehwan is? He's suppose to start soon." I looked at the schedule and she was right. Jaehwan's suppose to be here in 3 
minutes. Weird. He's never usually late, and if he is, he would call. "I'll call him and see what's going on." I suggested. Omma
nodded, "Okay." 

~Ring ring~ I started calling him... but he didn't answer, it went straight to voicemail. That's really weird. He always answers
my calls. Right then, he walked in bowing, "Sorry I'm late!" "Jaehwan-ah!" I cried. He didn't answer. He probably didn't hear
me. "Jaehwannie." He still didn't answer. He totally ignored me. "Hey. Jaehwan. Is there something wrong?" I asked as I
got closer. He wouldn't pay attention to me, as if I was invisible. He talked to everyone else except for me. What did I do 
wrong? I didn't want to bother him anymore, I thought I would give him some space. I was finally off and went home straight.
Jaehwannie ignoring me bothered me a lot. I even tried watching some tv at home to get my mind off of it. I looked through 
my phone and realized that I had Taekwoon's number. Hesitantly, I pressed 'new message' and typed in his number. "Hey
Taekwoon, it's Jungah. What's up?" I texted. My thumb was hovering over the send button. I wasn't sure of I should send
it or not. -Click- My eyes grew wide. My heart was racing. Maybe I was just scared that he'd probably not text back. What if
he thought I was weird. All these thoughts kept coming to my head. I kept looking at my phone. Nothing. No reply. 

I went into the kitchen to cook some food. In between, I'd look at my phone from time to time. Nothing still.
-Ding- My phone vibrated. Maybe it was Taekwoon. I looked at it, to my dismay, it was only a telemarketer. I sighed. 
Omma and Hyuk arrived from the cafe. "We are home." Omma yelled. "Annyeong haseyo." I bowed. "How was closing today?"
I questioned. "It was good, did you eat already?" Omma questioned back. I nodded, "Ne. When I got home." I replied. 
"Arraseo. You should go wash up and sleep, you are opening tomorrow." Omma suggested. I obeyed and headed upstairs.
I washed my face and brushed my teeth, then headed to my room. I set up my alarm clock so I could wake up tomorrow
morning and not sleep in. I jumped onto my bed, hoping I would fall asleep right away. Nope. I tossed and turned thinking
I did fall asleep but all I did was shut my eyes and daydreamed. It felt like I fell asleep but when I woke up, I was expecting
it to be bright and sunny in my room. I checked my phone. -New message- was shown across the screen of my phone. 
"Hi Jungah-ssi. Sorry for the late reply." I read. "I was taking a nap and I didn't expect to sleep for so long." It was
Taekwoon.

My eyes widened in excite. "Oh, it's okay. So, what's up?" I texted back. I waited for his text. - DING- "Not much. Just listening
to music." 
He seemed to be more talkative through text. We texted all night. Slowly getting to know each other. I learned that 
he used to play soccer and a hobby of his was singing. I asked him if he could call and give me a sample of his singing, but he was
too shy. "Wait, do you not open tomorrow? It's already 12am." Taekwoon pointed out. I looked over at my clock. My eyes widen.
"Oh my, I should go to sleep. Good night, Taekwoon-ssi. See you tomorrow! ~ " I texted and didn't even bother to wait for his text.
I might end up sleeping in and being late. 

-Ding- My phone vibrated on top of my desk, waking me up. My tired eyes slowly opened but wouldn't budge. I squinted in the
dark. I let my eyes relax and kept them closed for a few more minutes. My phone kept vibrating, my eyes finally came to their
senses. I checked my phone right away seeing a bunch of Taekwoon's texts. "Jungah-ssi, ireonayo~" "You'll be late for work
if you don't wake up now." "Jungah-ssi!"
 It was 5 in the morning, did he not sleep? I thought to myself. I texted him back 
right away. "Good morning, Taekwoon-ssi. Thanks for the wake up text. But did you sleep at all?" I got up and got ready
as I waited for his text. Just a reqular routine, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast and get ready to go to work. Omma
and Hyuk were still asleep, as it was their day off. I was on my way out and Taekwoon didn't reply yet. I stopped worrying
about it so I wouldn't be late for work. 

I arrived in front of the shop and to my surprise, I found Taekwoon standing there. "Taekwoon-ssi?" I started. "I thought
I was opening with Hakyeon oppa." He replied as I was unlocking the door, "He asked if I could take his shift, so I thought 
why not?" We entered the store and locked the door behind us. He started the pastry case as I started doing my supervisor
duties. We weren't able to talk much, as we were both focusing on what we were doing. Everything was set and the store was 
open. Customers came in one by one, getting busier as the time flew by. Hongbin came to work followed by Wonsik, then Jaehwan. 
Taekwoon and I got off at the same time. While Taekwoon was in the back, I tried talking to Jaehwan. "Jaehwan-ah, are you still
not talking to me?" I questioned. No reply. "Jaehwan-ah." I started shaking his arm, but he pushed them away. I was furious.
What did I do so wrong? Why isn't he speaking to me? I asked myself. I tried pulling him to the back room, but he was
still stronger than me. "Jaehwan-ah, can we please talk, don't make me yell in front of the customers." I warned. He 
sighed and walked to the back. I followed behind him. His back was facing me. "Jaehwan, what's wrong?"
I questioned. "You really don't know?" He questioned back. "Well, I'm sorry if I don't know what it is, that's why I'm
asking." I replied. "How can you be so clueless?" He asked. "What the heck is this about? Can't you just be straight forward about
this?!" I was starting to get annoyed, but the next thing he said took me by surprise.
