Chapter 7
"Eunji-ah,you've been looking down today,is something wrong?"Hoseok asked,while we were walking side by side in the university hallway going to the canteen.
"Don't I always look down?"I asked.
"Yeah,you do,"Hoseok said,"But today you look down-er than usual.What's up?"
I sighed but didn't answer.
After we reached the canteen we both bought sandwiches and sat at a table.That's when Hoseok asked me again,"Eunji-ah!Tell me what's wrong."
I sighed again,"Everything with my life is wrong,Hoseok.I feel defeated."
Hoseok frowned,"I told you to not feel that..what exactly happened?"
"It's just..I think my depression is growing more and more everyday now."
"That's why I told you to start pia.."
I didn't let him finish,"My family is constantly pestering me for money.My dad's gambling problem is growing.It's hard.And on top of that the cafe I work at will probably shut down soon.How would I get money?"
Hoseok was eating but when he heard that he stopped and looked at me,"Why would the cafe close?"
"We are getting less and less customers everyday.I don't know what's wrong.But the owner is planning on closing the cafe next month then I would lose a job.And finding a part time job is so hard these days,"I sighed.I really am concerned.
If this happens,I don't know how I would be able to provide for my family.I would still have two jobs but I don't think the salary would be enough.The thought of that is scary.
"You are worrying about your family not getting enough money,right?"Hoseok asked.
I nodded slowly.
Hoseok sighed,"Eunji-ah?"
I looked at him.
"I get that they're your family.You are the only incoming source of them.I get that you want to let them live a comfortable life.But they treat you so bad.They should know that if you stop giving them money they would have nothing.Then why do they still.."Hoseok sighed again,"And I don't understand why you let them treat you like this.You did everything for them,you even gave up your dream and worked..this behavior is unacceptable."
I listened to him.His words affected me like usual,"They are my family,Hoseok."
"You've given them way more than they've given you."
I know that.
Hoseok continued,"They are the ones that put you in this position,right?Made you feel unwanted,useless and worthless?"
I didn't reply.
"Ah!This makes me angry."Hoseok said and looked down for a bit to calm himself down.
He really is angry,isn't he?
"Eunji-ah?When will you think of yourself?Please stop helping them if they make you feel like this.Because you are not like that.You are precious and important."Hoseok said.
I chuckled,"Hoseok-ah,how did this turn into a lecture?"
Hoseok also let out a chuckled,"I don't know.But I've been wanting to say this to for a long time.I'm all for people loving their family.But not like this.Your so called family needs a lesson."
I chuckled again,"Let's not talk about it and let's just eat."
Hoseok nodded,"Yeah,I'm really hungry."
We didn't talk for sometime.We focused on our food.
Hoseok is right.Hoseok is teaching me to love myself slowly.He didn't announce it but I know.I really do want to love myself but my biggest barrier right now is my "family".They never will make me feel at ease.Should I just teach them a lesson like Hoseok said?
Hoseok is all about happiness,friendship,joy and togetherness.When he is the one who thinks my family needs to learn a lesson,my family is really messed up,isn't it?
I laughed at the thought.
Hoseok looked at me,"Did something happen?"
I shook my head,"I'm just really worried about the cafe.I hate the thought of not working there.Even though I complained I really liked working there."
Hoseok nodded and looked like he was deep in thought.I didn't disturb him.
It would really be bad if o lose that job.Should I start searching for a new job?But I feel anxious about new jobs.The fact that the cafe might close makes me really sad,scared and anxious.
Hoseok suddenly looked up at me.His eyes were shinning.He was definitely up to something.I looked at him curiously.
"Eunji-ah,how happy would be if the cafe suddenly gets really famous?"
"Huh?"I asked,weirdly.
Hoseok was looking at me,anticipating for my answer.
"Umm...a very big burden would be lifted off my shoulder...so very happy?"I replied.
Hoseok smiled,"So if I make your cafe really famous,would you fulfill my wishes for one day?"
I frowned.Something is definitely fishy.He is cooking something.But I really need this job to be at ease.
What shall I do?
"Come on,answer quickly!"Hoseok said.
"But what if you ask for something weird?"I asked.
"I won't."
I narrowed my eyes.Even if he said it I definitely know he's gonna make me do something really weird.
But I have nothing to lose now.
"Fine,"I replied slowly.
"Deal,then?" Hoseok asked,smiling.
"Deal."
The week went by quickly.Nothing new happened.The cafe owner was still on the verge of closing the cafe down.I had almost forgotten about our deal.But the today at university Hoseok kept smiling slyly while looking at me.Whenever he asked me if something was up he just smirked and said nothing.I didn't put much mind to it.
That day when I went to the cafe to start my shift my jaw completely dropped.I'm not joking.My jaw actually dropped.
Their was a huge,HUGE line of people in front of the cafe.I didn't know how it happened.
I entered the cafe with much difficulty.People were trying to blame me for cutting in the line.I had to convince them that I was the staff.
The cafe was completely full.My eyes widened at how busy it was.The owner was running around serving people with another part timer.When he saw me he quickly held my hand and told me,"Eunji-ah,we've hit a jackpot!"
My eyes were still widened and I was still confused about what was happening,"Boss,what's going on?"
"Yesterday after your shift ended,something big happened!"
"What?"
"J-hope from BTS visited our cafe with his manager!!"
"Huh?"I asked,confused,"And so?"
"What do you mean 'and so'?Do you not know how big of a deal it is for a BTS member to come to our cafe?"
"Oh!"
"And not only that,he signed an autograph for us as well that we framed over there,"He said while pointing at a wall.I turned and saw Hoseok's autograph that was framed beautifully and people lining up to take pictures underneath it.
"Oh,I see!"
"Not only that,he also posted a picture of the cafe in the sns too.Fans were quick to find it and now this happened."
He showed me the picture Hoseok posted on the SNS.
[J-hope]Found a nice cafe close to our company!There's nothing better than a sweet cup of coffee after an exhausting day!
I nodded.That's amazing.Just a picture from him got this cafe so busy.Woah!His impact is real!
"Eunji,I don't think we have to close the cafe anymore.We are blessed!"The owner cheered.He really did make the cafe famous.
I nodded.It was nice seeing him happy and knowing that the cafe won't shut down.I will get to work here.
"Eunji,go and change quickly.We have chatted enough today.We have hundreds of customers more to take care of!"The boss said.
I nodded and went to change and got ready for work.
There was a lot of work at the cafe.But I didn't mind.I liked it.But it did honestly made me a little tired.
After I finished my shift at the cafe I was headed to the bar I worked in.After that I will be able to go home and sleep.
I was happy today.Everything in the cafe worked out,the happiness of the owner and the enthusiasm of the customers was really nice.I should thank Hoseok.
I decided to text him.So I got my phone out.But before I could text him,he texted me.I opened his message.

I didn't know what to do after looking at the messages.The Deal completely slipped off of my mind.Now that I remember it,it is making me a bit scared.God knows what he's gonna make me do.
But...he did solve my problem.I promised him.And he wouldn't make me do something too ridiculous.He promised.As he said he is my one and only precious friend,so I should trust him,right?And I have one whole week to prepare myself mentally.
I smiled as I texted.
From:Me
Fine.And thank you.I appreciate what you did!

I smiled at his text before keeping it back in my bag.Now all I need to do is wait for his work to be done and get the day of doing what he says done with.
I just hope he doesn't make me do something outrageous.
He is Jung Hoseok after all.
You will never know,what he might be up to.
