" hi Hae Jin~ah good morning to you too ! How's your day ? oh let me have your resume " I enthusiastically greeted her back then I felt Sunghoon lightly hit me at my butt ..I looked back at him but he just grinned at me and gave me a teasing look

"I'm feeling great today sir " she replied then gave me her resume

"sit here for a moment .." I moved a chair next to Heeseung hyung for her to sit

"no, it's okay sir .. I'll just stand here , I don't want to be a bother to your guests" she said but I grabbed her hand and let her sit beside Heeseung hyung but she's just lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with us

"oh by the way Hae Jin , this is Heeseung hyung then this one on your front was Sunghoon .. they're my friends .. bros , this is Hae Jin " I formally introduce them to each other

"it's really true .. that you're pretty Hae Jin~ah .. Jay can't stop telling us everything about y-" I stopped Sunghoon from talking by putting a hand on his mouth

" ahh hehe .. don't mind him Hae Jin " I nervously said to her .. but I noticed Heeseung hyung remained quiet on his seat .. as if he's observing Hae Jin

" it's okay sir .. so , when will I start ?" oh right I forgot .. she came here to work

" Ni-ki !! come here for a moment" I called Ni-ki which instantly came after

" please guide Hae Jin to the staff's room to change in her uniform then teach her all the things she needed to learn .. she will be your shift partner from now on " I told him .. he just weakly nods at me like he has no force

" hello Ni-ki , how are you my adorable brother ?" Heeseung hyung asked Ni-ki but he just raised his hand and gestured 'OK'

" aww Jay , you should buy this baby , vitamins he looks pale and weak " Sunghoon hugged him and petted Ni-ki's head .. Heeseung hyung  stands up to hug Ni-ki also

" It's okay Ni-ki, you'll soon get over with this .. trust me . We'll always be here for you angel " Ni-ki just nodded at him and my heart just breaks as I watch Ni-ki . He's so vulnerable

"thanks hyungs , I'm okay .. I'll guide my new co-worker now "he just said .. both of them released their hug from Ni-ki and let him go

---

Hae Jin stayed working here for the past few months and the longer she stays here , the deeper I am falling for her . I just can't help it .

Today , I'll tell Ni-ki about how I felt for Hae Jin .. he has to know because he's my dear friend and also he has to be aware of it because they work in the same place .

I walked closer to him then tapped his shoulder .. We are now at the staff's room

" Ni-ki .. I'll tell you something " He looked back at me

" What is it hyung ? Should I be nervous ?" he's now joking .. he's getting better

" umm .. well, I don't know where to start .." he looked at me confused but I continued to talk

" I had someone who I like .. and you know her " I could see that he was shocked

"Do you finally getting me a mom hyung ?" He said with sparkly eyes .. this time , I'm the one who's at the state of shock
