4 pm and I'm still here in the kitchen waiting for the waiter to come in and give me a cue to cook what the customer wants. Solar goes out for I don't know why or maybe she's bored here to be with me.
I'm sitting on the stool with the tissue paper in my hand and playing with it. I'm still thinking about chaeng's tuition fee. I really don't know where to go or where I will get that big amount.
But I'm not planning to give up finding it. I will do everything and anything just to have that amount of money within this month. I don't want my sister to be like me who is not finish schooling.
I don't want any of my sisters to feel how to be unwanted by others or to be hated by others. I can't stomach just thinking of them being in my shoe and meeting the horrible persons.
"Kimchi fried rice!" Hwasa said as she sat on the next stool.
"That's all?" I ask and she nodded.
"I'll just going to the comfort room" she said and I nodded.
I took a pan once again and put out and fried the pork before putting the rice and the cuts kimchi and sesame oil. I took the spatula and mix it while holding the pan holder.
I took the pot lid before turning the stove to low heat and lean on the stool while waiting for the Kimchi to be cooked.
"Lisa! I got stuck here!" I heard hwasa shout so loud so I hurriedly ran towards the cubicles where the comfort room is.
I saw that is not even locked outside so why the hell would she said it is? I turn the knob and it open widely and I saw Hwasa panicking inside "Hey! It's not locked outside" I said and frown at her.
"No! It's lock earlier! I tried to push it hard but I just can't open this fucking door" she frustratedly said.
"Maybe the doorknob already had a problem. We should tell Mrs. Feng about this" I said as she goes out.
"Yeah. Maybe we really should! I nearly had a panic attack!" She said.
I was about to say something but I remember the Kimchi! "Shoot! I forgot my kimchi fried rice!" I said as I ran towards the kitchen again and sigh in relief.
I walk towards the stove and turn it off before taking off the pot lid. I took a plate and transfer it to the plate. I didn't bother to taste it again cause I already taste it once I put the pot lid.
I put kimchi leaves on it and give them to hwasa. "Here we go!" I said as she took it from my hand.
She goes out to the kitchen to serve the menu and I go back to the stool and that's when I realized Solar is already here and seating on another stool too.
"You're here" I said.
"So what?" She rudely said so I decided to just shut the fuck up.
I took my phone and just scroll to my social media because I'm bored. I was about to call my little sister Ryujin cause I know she's already at their apartment but I was cut off by the loud shout outside the kitchen.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! THIS IS FUCKING SPICY AND THE TASTE IS DISGUSTING!"
I Instantly ran outside of the kitchen only to see the guy who is coughing hard with his reddening face. He's a well-built guy with so many tattoos on his body.
Once I step out from the kitchen he has a deadly glare on me and customers start to look at my spots too so I speak and walk towards the guy. "U-Uhm..excuse me sir" I nervously said.
"WHO THE FUCK COOK THIS FUCKING KIMCHI FRIED RICE?!" he literally yell in front of my face.
"Who else? Of course that stupid chef!" I heard solar said.
I did not have the chance to spoke when the well-built man hardly grabs my collar and pin me on top of his table making his juice spill on the table and in reach to me.
"Do you fucking want to kill me?! Do you know that I'm fucking allergic to spicy?!" He angrily said.
"B-But I didn't put chili on it! I swear!" I said and look at him begging him to stop cause I'm already choking.
"THEN WHY THE FUCK IT'S SPICY?! ARE YOU TRICKING ME?!"
"I'm not! I promise!" I said and look at him with my teary eyes.
"You didn't huh? Then taste this fucking kimchi fried rice you cooked!" He said before grabbing a spoon and forcibly shove it in my mouth and once I taste it I cough hard because of the disgusting taste and spicy of the dish.
What the fuck?! I swear to God this is different from my Kimchi fried rice! What the hell is this?! "Now tell me! Huh?!" He said and pin me even more.
I don't know where I get my strength and push him hard and I already felt my blood boiling because of frustration "I told you I didn't do it! I swear to God!" I said.
He gritted his teeth and stand up and Instantly blow a hard punch on my face that causes me to stumble on the floor. I heard customers started to shout in the situation.
He goes on top of me and punches me continuously on my face. I gain my strength and push him off of me and grab one of the chairs and smash it to his back. The fuck is he?! He's testing my fucking soul.
I'm not letting him touch me. He doesn't know who is the real me when I'm mad. I held his collar too before blowing a hard punch on his face that causes his nose to bleed. I punch him again before throwing him to the tables that cause it to be broken.
"STOP IT BEFORE I SHOOT YOU!" I heard a stern voice and I look at the entrance and saw cops already standing there.
I look to my side and saw Mr. Feng glaring at me and I'm sure he's the one who calls the cops. "Come with us Miss Manoban If you don't want us to drag you out here" he said.
"But I'm not the one who started it!" I pleadingly said.
"Are you kidding us Lisa? It's clear that you abuse our customer" Solar said as she pointed to the guy who is groaning on the floor.
One cop comes closer to me and my arm before nodding at me. I sigh knowing I can't do anything. We're about to go out when Mr. Feng spoke.
"You're fired!" He said and point me.
"B-But It's not m-" I was cut off.
"No matter what your excuses are...You're fired!" He said as he throws my bag at me which is I quickly catch.
"Let's go" the cops said and help me to go inside of the police car.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ
"I'm sorry Miss manoban but we can't release you here until you pay the cause you did in the restaurant"
That's what they said before they brought me here in one of their room where I'm just the one inside here. It's not jail because it's clean and has a proper bed. Am I lucky?
Argh! I think I will rot here because I don't have money to pay the total amount that I cause in the restaurant.
I don't even have money for Chaeng's tuition fee yet they want me to pay that?! Are they kidding me? It's not even my fault and I'm here sitting alone in this fucking room and they still want me to pay them.
I swear to my whole soul that that dish of kimchi fried rice is not mine! I know what is taste of mine and If ever I put the chili there it is just a little not the whole cup of chili!
How cruel world can be?! Are they not satisfied with how hard my life is?
A tear escapes my eyes after holding it up since this morning. I just can't believe how they treat me. Did I do something wrong to them to treat me like this? Am I a bad person? I hate this! I hate my life!
"You can go out now Ms. Manoban" he said as he opens the door of the room.
I wipe my tears as I look at him in confusion. "Why? I still haven't pay anything" I said as I stand up.
"Someone paid it for you and she said she's your friend" he said and motioned me to go out so I did.
He assists me to their office cause he said I need to sign something. I walk into the office and was immediately hugged by one person. "Lisayah!" She said and hug me tightly.
"Moonbyul?" I said and pull out the hug.
"I'm sorry If I come here so late! I'm such a bad best friend for letting you stay here for that long" she sadly said.
"Are you kidding me? Why did you bail me out?" I said.
"It's not bail out! You're not here for such a horrible crime! You're here because of the cause you did in the restaurant so I just pay Mr. Feng the amount of the furniture that got broken" she said.
"But you shouldn't! I'm the one who causes this so I should be the one to pay that!" I said.
"Ah! Don't complain anymore! You're my best friend!" She said and smack my shoulder.
Moonbyul is from a rich family and has a very stable life that even she doesn't work she will have money every day because her father is a businessman and a very kind one to me.
Moonbyul tried to help me with my tuition fee in our college but I didn't accept it because I don't want to rely on her. She and her dad kept insisting on helping me and my sisters but I refuse.
Cause they already help me enough with one issue I've been fighting for already a long time ago.
After signing what the hell is that we go out and byul give me a lift to my apartment and I just stay awake until 2 Am cause I kept thinking about the money that chaeng's need and I still need to pay back Moonbyul even she doesn't want too.
I'll try to find work tomorrow.
