even though he wasn't very successful with his job, minho loved it dearly. still, money was missing at all ends, so he often went to sleep starving.

but it was okay, he was used to it.

just that night, he wasn't able to fall asleep upon the hunger and the thoughts running in his head.

on top of everything it was cold in his room. thus minho had been wearing a hoodie to sleep for the past days - a hoodie that wasn't even his - and because he had been sleeping in it, it smelled like, well, him.

so he would have to bring it to the laundry, which meant he had to save some money for it.

anyway he couldn't stop thinking about what kind of person would show such a gesture. definiltely not a girl with outgrown silver hair dye, who worked night shift at a grocery store.

that's when minho decided to find out more about his girl, before finding the money to return the hoodie.

he took his phone in order to look her up on instagram- that's when he realized that he didn't even know her name.

so he got up from the tiny bed and headed to the grocery store at the corner; maybe she'd have a name tag.

meanwhile ivy twirled strands of her hair around her fingers, wondering if she should just cut it all off.

eventually she recalled momories of how her sister used to cut her hair when she was younger, but she quickly shoved them away.

usually there weren't too many people in the store at that time, so most of her job consisted of checking the IDs of the people, who intended to buy alcohol.

the entrence bell rang and a guy wearing a hat and a face mask entered the store. he looked around for a while, but left without buying something, which was kinda weird because at that time, people only went to the store if they actually knew what they were going to buy.

although it was strange, ivy just shrugged it off like everything else and went to refill the vending machine in front of the store, wishing she actually knew how to get from one day to another.
