If I Fall [Editing]

Chapter One

Grapes woke up in the middle of the night. She checked her phone and it was just half past three. She woke up earlier than her alarm should have rung. Not wanting to waste time, she got up and took a bath. She brought her hand phone with her and started randomly playing music inside the bathroom.

"We run past strawberry fields and smelt the summertime,

When it gets dark I'll hold your body close to mine.

And then we'll find some wood and hell we'll build a fire

And then we'll find some rope and make a swinging tire..."

She sang along while taking a bath. She really loves listening to music. She couldn't live without it.

Just as she was about to get out of the bathroom, her phone rang.

" Yoboseyo?"

"Yah! Get up. You'll be late for work if you don't" the voice on the other line said.

"Fine, I'm taking a bath now, I'll meet you at the coffee shop later. See you!"

"Ok, see you!" they hung up.

Grapes is trying to pick herself up after a long time. She got laid off after the restaurant she's working with for the past five years went bankrupt and finally had no choice but to close the business. She was really sad because it was her first job and she really loved it there, but she guessed it's true that nothing lasts forever.

She tried finding a job, but most of the companies would not accept her after final interviews because she is really shy and introverted. She used to fear talking to people and is always awkward when answering phone calls. She has a small circle of friends and only knows people from her work and former classmates.

She got those social skills working when she was in the restaurant, but now that she doesn't work anymore, her fear of talking grew and she failed every interview because of low self-esteem. She felt so frustrated and locked herself in her room and for a moment that became her world. She drowned herself in books and never-endingly watched every Korean drama she could.

Gladly enough, she came onto her senses and decided to take one more shot at looking for a job and this time she applied for something she would enjoy doing. She applied for a job as a barista in a local coffee shop nearby and got accepted. She really loved drinking coffee, even when she was still young. Her father was a coffee drinker, maybe that's why she really got into it. Since her blood type is basically coffee, she thought she would enjoy making it.

The day has finally come; it is her first day of work. She put on her uniform and wore those ragged inline skates of hers and happily skated to the coffee shop where her friend, Lola is waiting.

"Look who's here, the newest barista in town!" Lola approached her as she stops.

"Lola! Isn't it too much that you're here cheering for me and got up early in the morning?" Grapes said as she took off her skates and changed into her shoes.

"What are you talking about? Why wouldn't your best friend be cheering for you when you finally decided to get on with your life? Enough with the quarter life crisis and make me the best coffee, now!"

"Arasseo!" Grapes answered with a smile.

Jin is sleepy. After all of those dance practice with lots of difficult choreography, recordings, rehearsals, music-writing and all that activity of being a Kpop idol, not to mention those take home exams for his graduate study course, he is so tired and sleep is all he wants right now.

Just as he was about to fall into dreamland, he heard Jungkook and Taehyung laughing. The two boys are watching something from Jungkook's laptop. He pouted his luscious lips and crawled onto where the two silly boys are. When Jungkook saw Jin was coming closer to them, he immediately shut the laptop off and he and Taehyung started laughing hard.
