"Ugh... Madam Dasom... I'll pay you... I promiiiiiise... Mmm..." Hyoyeon mumbled as she woke up. She lifted her head and yawned as wide as she could...

Then she saw Jongin, sipping a cup of coffee, giving her a disgusted look. Hyoyeon quickly closed and covered it with her hands, "I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Stand up, we should be going now," Jongin said as he gathered Hyoyeon's stuff on the table, "It's almost 6."

"Wait-- what?" Hyoyeon asked, "It's almost 6?"

"Yes."

"Omo!" she cried as she jumped out of her seat, "I'll be late for work!"

"You'll still go to the convenience store?" asked the surprised Jongin.

"Of course! I-- I need to go now, thank you Professor Kim," Hyoyeon gave him a bow, and took her stuff from his hands.

"Wait Hyoyeon, I'll bring you there. I'll just get my car," Jongin called out.

But Hyoyeon ran outside quickly. She tried to look around to see if there was any taxi cab around, but there was none.

"Oh shoot! I'll be late," Hyoyeon thought to herself. She decided that instead of waiting for a cab that might never come, she will walk instead.

"Kim Hyoyeon!" A voice called out from a car. It was Jongin, "Get in!"

"I'm okay, Professor Kim! I'll just walk," Hyoyeon answered back, as she continued to walk faster. She noticed that the sky is getting darker, as if it was about to rain, "I need to hurry," she thought to herself.
