"You're going?" I asked, the sadness clear in my voice. "Just for a week, I need to go help dad" Soohyun hyung replied causing me to frown. Why can't my father just come back here? He hasn't seen me or my mother for such a long time..

"The week will fly by quickly, don't worry. Before you know it, it'll be Saturday again and your hyung will be with you" Even though I was still not happy about it, I nodded my head. Without him in the house, it's so boring and I'm always alone since my mother works a lot.

"Okay.. You better hurry and don't stay longer than needed" Soohyun simply chuckled, nodding as he ruffled my hair. "I'll be back before you know it. Now, shouldn't you get to work? Jinyoung will get annoyed if you're late again"

I glanced over at the clock and noticed it was almost 10am. My shift with Jinyoung hyung usually starts at 10 but because I'm working at Jaebum's shop, I start at 10.30. I smiled slightly and nodded my head. "Yeah, I'll go get ready. I'll see you soon, hyung" I pulled him into a hug, saying my goodbyes before rushing to my room.

As I was getting ready, I heard my mother and my brother leave so I knew that I was all alone in the house. I was deciding on what to wear since Jaebum hyung said the dress code was casual, all we had to do is wear an apron with the shop logo on it.

In the end I decided on a simple white T-shirt and black jeans, grabbing my jacket and scarf, preparing to leave the house.

I walked around to the back of the store, knocking on the door since the store didn't open until 11am. I was greeted by Hyunjae who was momentarily confused before smiling widely.

"Hey, Youngjae! Come on in" He said, opening the door and allowing me to enter. I returned the smile as I stepped into what seemed like a small stock room since there were a lot of open and unopened boxes.

"Come with me, I'll take you to Jaebum hyung" He said as we exited the small room and went to another room which I figured was some sort of staff room. Jaebum hyung was sat on one of the sofa's, texting someone. He was only wearing a blue tank top and black shorts, legs spread across the sofa.

"Hyung, Youngjae's here"

I wish I was kidding but as soon as he heard that, Jaebum sat up straight, his head turning to face us.

A small smile crept up on his face as he looked into my eyes. "Hey"

I couldn't help but to smile back at him. "Hey hyung" I said as I walked towards him. "Okay, I'll let Jaebum hyung teach you the basics before we open up the shop. Your apron's hanging up on the peg and I think you're on the tills"

I nodded, turning to face Jaebum hyung who was still texting on his phone. "Is it really a good idea that you teach me? You've been fired three times"

The older looked up from his phone to frown, not appreciating the comment. "Hey as long as you don't piss off my mum then you'll be fine" He said before staring back down at his phone.

I seriously just wanted to snatch the stupid thing from his hands. It bugged me that he was constantly on it.

"So, you gonna show me around or what?"

Jaebum hyung chuckled at that, placing his phone in his pocket. "Looks like we have a sassy one here," He said, causing me to frown. "Your apron is over there, you can just leave your stuff here and we'll head out to the shop floor"

I nodded, taking off my jacket and scarf, hanging them up on a peg and grabbing the apron before following Jaebum hyung out.

"Mum cooks in the kitchen and me and Hyunjae work the shop floor, occassionially Hyunjae is on the tills but I think you'll be doing that" He briefly explained as we walked to the front of the shop. The chairs were all up on the table and everything was quiet since it wasn't opening time yet.

"So yeah, that's the shop. There's not much to it, it's straightforward"

I wanted to question about their other business because I knew that the café wasn't their only business within this shop. But I couldn't find any courage to ask, partly because I didn't want to know.

As long as I don't get involved, I'm fine.

"So you and Hyunjae are basically waitors"

He simply scoffed. "I don't wait on anyone. I simply ask what they want and take my time getting it for them. I don't care if they have to wait long, if they don't like then they can leave"

I stared at him in disbelief. This guy is a handful, I feel sorry for the customers.

"No wonder why you always get fired.." I mumbled, shaking my head.

"No, I get fired because I keep telling eomma she belongs in the kitchen and that pisses her off"

I will pray for my hyung.

As soon as the store was open, a customer walked in. I was expecting it to be a long time before someone came but a young girl walked right up to me.

"Oh, are you new? Where's Hyunjae oppa?"

So I'm guessing the customers are all really familiar with Hyunjae and Jaebum hyung.

"Yeah, I'm new here" I simply replied, smiling since I had to be nice to customers.

She glanced down at my apron to read my name since all of them had name tags on them. "Well.. Youngjae oppa, can I get a coffee and croissant to go please?" She smiled.

I returned the smile, nodding, as I totaled the cost on the cash machine. As I was serving this customers, I noticed a small group of girls enter the café, being greeted immediately by Jaebum hyung.

He didn't smile at them, he wasn't even nice to them so why were they obssessing over him? I rolled my eyes at this as I took the money off the girl I was serving and went to prepare her order.

Working here made me realise two things.

1) This shop has become really popular, how have I not noticed this?

2) The reason for the popularity is Hyunjae and Jaebum hyung since our customers are almost all females.

Jaebum hyung was only wearing a tank top and shorts, something that drove the girls crazy and much to my displeasure, they stayed longer and ordered more food.

It technically is a good thing for the shop but it was really annoying to constantly see throughout the day.

Jaebum was often in the back, though, Hyunjae working the shop floor instead. He was probably dealing with his other customers.

I was so glad when my shift was over. The store was still going to be open until 11pm but it was 6pm and my shift was done.

I took off my apron and hung it up on the peg, grabbing my jacket. Just as I was about to reach for my scarf, someone else's arm reached for it and grabbed it instead.

From the tattoos, I knew it was Jaebum hyung.

"Why are you leaving me?" He asked, turning me around.

"My shift is over"

He placed the scarf around my neck, wrapping it as he stared into my eyes. "Then so is mine" He said, a small smile playing on his lips.

I missed his smile. He looked so beautiful when he smiled.

"You finish at closing time, you're going to get in trouble" I stated even though I knew that wouldn't stop him. This is Im Jaebum.

"I don't give a fuck. I'm not letting you go home on your own. You need to be protected, by me" He said as slowly laced our hands together.

"Let's go"
