[YOUR POV]

"Lucky you, at least you have a job to support yourself." I said and released a heavy sigh, resting my face on the table.

"Are you going to give up? If you do, that's not the Kwon Yewon that I know." Ryu Hwa's voice was heard nowhere.

"Yeah, cheer up. I used to remember those old days when you stayed up late night only to show the professor that he was wrong in accused you." Yoo Hyunjoo's voice appeared, as I can felt that she took a seat next to mine and a cup of coffee was placed near me.

Park Mina added, "Come on, we know you can do it. Plus, you're here to achieve your dream since you were young. It's not like you come here to travel right?"

"However!" I shouted and faced all three of my best female friends, "I'm going to broke. There's no job that's available for me. Even if there are new jobs, I'm not skilled enough to work for them." I took the cup and took a sip of the coffee.

"Why don't you try? You don't have any choices anymore, are you going to wait until there's a job that specially prepared for you?" Mina said.

"True, you can search for other jobs first to support yourself." Hwa added, "Take some part time jobs if you still want to do your designing in your apartment."

I sighed once again and sip my coffee silently, staring blankly at the table. I met Hyunjoo at the academy, she was my roommate. She majored in business, so it's easier for her to find her dream job. Hwa and Mina are still studying in the university, Gangnam-gu University. We met them at a nightclub, I forget when was it.

"Damn, not again." Hyunjoo cursed under her breath after chatting with someone on her phone. Our attention went to her, I asked, "What happened?"

"Mom told me to accompany Hyunwoo to meet the dentist today and at the same time, I have a meeting that I must attend." Hyunjoo ranted; But then her face slightly lightened up, it seemed like she has an idea to solve the problem.

She looked up to face Hwa as she nervously shook her head, "Oh! I just remember that I have to practice for the competition soon, bye!" She immediately left that place.

When Hyunjoo faced Mina, she awkwardly laughed and said, "Oh look! It's almost time, my teammates are probably waiting for me now. Goodbye, have a nice day!" She soon joined Hwa, running out from the place.

I faced the two person and without my notices, Hyunjoo was already facing me. I widened my eyes and shook my head, "I don't think I can, I'm busy."

"How can you be busy? You're jobless!"

"That's why I'm busy! I'm busying myself searching for jobs!"

Hyunjoo held my hands and tried her best to appeal me, "Please? I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight! I promised!"

The word "meal" caught my attention. I cleared my throat and said, "Must be fancy."

"Of course! Now please?"

"Fine, fine! I'll bring Hyunwoo to the dentist today, at what time?" I asked and took a sip of my coffee.

"In couple of minutes. I already paid for your coffee, I'll tell Hyunwoo to wait for you at here! Thank you girlfriend, I love you the most!" She left a quick peck on my cheek before rushing to her car, it seems like she's going to the meeting.

[YOHAN'S POV]

I turned to my left and watched Haneul playing with her toy silently. The chauffeur was driving us to the hospital, for Haneul's checkup with Dentist Ga.

"Do you want daddy to buy you more toys?" I asked, tried to create a conversation with her.

"Toys?" Her eyes sparkled after hearing the word "toy". It seems like she really loves toys. She turned to face me as I nodded and smiling sweetly to her. "Daddy will buy you lot of toys after we meet Dentist Ga, alright?"

"Promise!" She took out her pinky finger as the smile never faded away from my face. I took my pinky finger and intertwined with her small pinky finger. Her giggles were heard afterwards.

"Yay yay, daddy is going to buy more toys! Do you hear it, Theo? You'll have more friends!" Haneul said to her toy. I looked at the toy, a dinosaur toy. Euoplocephalus one to be specific.

"His name is Theo?"

Haneul turned to face me once again and nodded, "Yes, it's Theo."

"How about the other dinosaurs?" I asked, trying to show my interests on her toys.

Her expression started to gloom, looking down to play with her toy silently. I raised my eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong, daughter?"

"Theo.. Theo is the first dinosaur that daddy bought for me.. The other toys are from other movies.." Haneul muttered silently, still playing with her toy named Theo.

"D-"

"Look! We arrived! Let's meet the dentist faster so we can go buy the toys together!" Haneul said, it's obvious that she tried to change the subject. I gotta admit it, even though she's only 4, but she's mentally strong. It makes me feel bad as if I didn't do my responsibility as a dad properly.

[YOUR POV]

"Yewon noona, how can you be this skinny? Are you sure you're 54kg?" Hyunwoo asked and I just awkwardly nodded.

In clinics, the nurses are assigned to check the patient's height and weight, I don't even know why a dental clinic should do the same. And yes, this young boy won't let me to escape. He told me to measure my height and weight too.

"Along with that, your height is 178cm! You're going to be a model!" Hyunwoo added as I whispered to myself, "That's what I dream of."

"Oh right, that's what you want to be. But you seem like jobless to me," Hyunwoo added the salt to the wound.

I gritted my teeth and faced him, "Yes. That's what I want to be but I'm jobless. Satisfied enough, little kid?"

He just stayed silent and looked around the clinic, waiting for his turn to be called by the nurse. When I looked around, I saw a young man with a female toddler beside him. The toddler is visually attractive.

"Oh, you've arrived, Mr Kim. You may come in." The young man nodded as the toddler, who held the young man's hand, entered the room.

I blinked my eyes and stood up, "Hey, we arrived here first. What do you mean with 'you may come in'?"

The nurse stopped, so do the others. The nurse put on an obvious fake smile, "They already had an appointment with the dentist beforehand."

"And it doesn't mean that we can't come in first. We'd wait for minutes, they didn't even wait for minutes and they can come in first? Tell me at what hour their appointment is?" I tried to fight back, not going to lose with the nurse.

"12PM."

"Then excuse you, it's 11:58AM. I don't think that they can't wait 2 minutes, or do they?" I faked a sweet smile to the young man. Even though the toddler is cute, but first come, first serve. Plus, I can't spend much time on doing such things. I need to haunt for some jobs again soon.

"Miss, I-"

"Let them enter first."
