The following day, I woke up earlier than usual. I need to go to Matthew first before I go to school. I hurriedly took a bath, put on my school uniform, and went out of my apartment without eating breakfast."I'll just eat at Matthew. He has lots of food there. I'm sure he won't mind it. I locked my door and was startled when I saw Uncle John standing at the side of the car not far away from my apartment, smiling."Good morning, Abby. Matthew asked me to pick you up.""He did? But you shouldn't have to Uncle. It's fine, And it's still very early. I burden you too much already .""It's fine, Abby. Get in the car." He smiles."Thank you, uncle." He closed the door after I settled inside, went to the driver seat, and drove off."Uncle, I'm working with Matthew. I'm not a special person who needs to be picked up with a car every time I report for work." I shyly said."Believe me, Abby, you are not a worker. You're more than that." He said, smiling at me."What do you mean by that?" But he

ABBYI tap my finger on the counter while patiently waiting for my customer's drink. Nick and Theo were busy mixing the drinks. Tonight, the bar is packed with people that we don't have time to take a little break. My legs ache from walking back and forth, getting the order, and serving drinks. I sighed and took the tray of drinks that Theo handed to me. I hurriedly served it, then returned to the bar for another batch of drink to serve."Abby, go up to the V.I.P. area. One of our V.I.P. guests wanted that you only serve them the whole night." Our manager said. I almost jumped in joy. V.I.P means less hassle, less work, and away from trouble. I smiled at our manager, nodding my head, and quickly went up to the second floor."For Mr. Kim, room 4. He's been waiting for you to serve their drinks." Jay said, winking. "Mr. Kim seems like he loves your service. Every time he came, he asked for you. I just shrugged in response, picked up the tray over the counter, and went to their reserved r

MATTHEWAfter thirty minutes, I went downstairs, and my parents were in the living room waiting for me. "Come here." My father ordered. I made my way to them and stood beside them. My life has always been like this, like a puppet, following everything that my parents told me to do. They showered me with material things and let me do what I wanted, but I needed to follow everything they said, or they would disown me. Because I was too young back then, I was afraid to be alone, but now, if they ask me to do things I can't take anymore, I don't care. They can disown me all they want."Don't embarrass us, Matthew. They're our friend, and we knew you knew their daughter. She's your girlfriend. We heard about your relationship with her." My father said."Girlfriend? But I don't have a girlfriend." I thought. The doorbell rang, and my mother excitedly opened the door. A man and a woman the same age as my parents stepped inside with a girl behind them. I couldn't see her face because she was

Abby groaned when her alarm went off. She drowsily sat up and smiled when he saw Matthew sitting on the floor, head leaning on his folded arm on the edge of the bed while his other hand was holding her hand, snoring. She slowly removed her hand from his hold and tenderly ran her finger on his silky hair, then moved to his face. Her smile widened when he leaned on her touch. She kissed his forehead and stood up. Carefully, she pulled Matthew down on the mattress and fixed the pillow under his head. She was sure that if he kept sitting while sleeping, his body would hurt later. She chuckled when he let out a sigh and snuggled on his pillow. "Sleep more, Matt. I'll wake you up when the food is ready." She whispered. She went to her mini fridge and searched for something to cook, but she only saw a leftover rice and a kimchi inside. She sighed and cooked whatever she had. She made kimchi fried rice for breakfast, hoping Matthew would like it. After cooking, she bathed and put on her

Matthew stayed in the restaurant until Abby's shift ended. His eyes followed her every move. It fascinated him. He didn't know that looking at a woman serving food and cleaning the table would fascinate him, but Abby did. Abby smiled every time she passed beside Matthew, and he smiled in return.When they exited the restaurant, Uncle John was already waiting for them. Matthew opened the door for Abby and let her settle inside before he sat beside her."Matthew, your parents want you back home," John told him, and Matthew could see the worries in his eyes. "Okay, uncle. Can you drive us to Abby's apartment first?""Okay. "They arrived in front of Abby's apartment after thirty minutes. Matthew stepped out first, and Abby followed."Uncle, just wait for me for a while. I'll walk Abby inside. John nodded in response, smiling, and watched Matthew follow Abby inside her apartment. Matthew hugged her as soon as he closed the door. He could feel that she was still eager to know who Kayla w
