"Uhmm.. miss?" She waved in my face and i immediately snapped out my trance.
"Uhhh... Yes! Strawberry with chunks! Yeah! Uhh... miss? What size?" I awkwardly asked and she just chuckled. I don't know why but that chuckle seems familiar.
"Medium please." She says with the same smile and I was caught again.
Dammit Taeyeon pull yourself together. You're suppose to have a cold demeanor.
"Ok that would be $7.50." I say and she gives me the money.
I hear the door open and I see Bomi running towards me. At least I got to serve this girl here.
I make the smoothie fast because I want her to think that our store is fast and she should come here of- Taeyeon pull yourself together you don't know her. At least I'm wearing my mask.
Luckily my boss doesn't mind. I tell him I have a bacteria phobia just to let him make me wear a mask.
I gave the smoothie to Bomi and she hands it off to that girl.
Who is she?

After work I go home. What else is there to do besides going home right?
But on my way home. I see a woman, just standing there trying to see what's wrong with her pink ass car.
I park my car next to her and she stares at me confusingly. Well my windows are tainted so she can't see who I am. I take my mask and I put it on along with my hoodie.
I get out of my car and she keeps staring with her jaw dropped. Maybe I should stop riding this car, it caused to many dropping jaws. Maybe this car is to eye catching. Wait who am I kidding. It's eye-catching as hell.
Why does she seem familiar?
It's her. The eye-smile girl. Once I realized it was her my heart started to skip beats. I tried to calm it down by thinking of my Dookongs getting burnt, but it didn't work.
I move my way to see what's wrong with her car, just to see the battery died and she thought something was was wrong with the vehicle's parts.
I chuckle and she just keeps staring.
"Your battery died. Call a town truck to bring it and fix it. Remember to give them your address. For the mean time I can drop you off." I say and she looks even more confused.

Gosh in what part is it confusing?
"How can I trust you though?" She replied with her head tilted.
Gosh I'm helping you but you reply with questions!
"Ok don't trust me then." I say and I'm about to walk away but there's this wave of electricity that hits my body. The source of that wave is from my wrist and why? She's holding my wrist.
"Wait. I'll trust you." She heaves out and I smile. She can't see because of this mask but I really am smiling.
She got into my car after calling the tow truck and it was silent. She was giving me directions to her place.
"Thank you." She starts.
"No problem." I reply back and I kept my eyes on the road.
Why would I have to be cold when I'm wearing a mask?
"Ummm..." She started but she hesitated.
"What?" I asked not looking back at her.
"You can take your mask off now." She said.
Will I do that?
"No. It's better to see you safe." I replied with a cold tone.
I don't want her to see who I am. I have a reputation of being a cold person, one mistake and people can find out who I am or who I truly am, which I despise.
"Well I'm Tiffany Hwang! My name is Stephanie but I prefer Tiffany because Umm... family reasons!" She really has a bubbly mood.
"Ok." That's the only thing I said. I don't want to say much because I might say too much.
"What about your name?" The eye-smile girl questioned.
"You don't need to know." If she knows one thing it can spread like wildfire. I know.
"Why?" Tiffany asked once again causing me to groan.
"You just don't. Ok?" I sighed out and I saw in my peripherals she nodded.
"So this car. It's expensive. I know someone in school who has it. Well I don't think she knows me though." She sighed and I knew she was talking about me.
"Alright." I managed to say.
"Just turn here and my house is the one on the end of the street." The girl pointed out the directions and I obeyed.
Once we arrived, she got out and bowed. I nodded at her. She really wasn't that rich and all. A normal house for a normal girl. I was backing up when I saw her dad open the door and hug her. They both had had a nice eye-smile and a great relationship. She was clinging onto his arm and they talks whilst walking in the house. Watching that caused me to grip on the steering wheels, turning my knuckles white.

How lucky are you.

The next day, I just realized I had took one small baby step out of my comfort zone. She now knows the way I talk so it can be very dangerous for her to find out who I am. Besides, the car plate! Hopefully she doesn't notice the car plate. How stupid are you Taeyeon?!
One small step out of my comfort zone and she will know who I am. Many things will occur that doesn't regularly happen. I have to step back in, I can't be giving random people rides like that! That's out of routine! Gosh, Kim Taeyeon pull yourself together.
I need to ignore her. This is exactly what happened years ago when I was no longer in my comfort zone. I let her take advantage of me. I let her see the real me hardly anyone laid eyes upon.
I can't let that happen again just because of an irregular heart beat can I? I can't be naive anymore. If I was never naive, they would never of left me, alone.
I took my car to school and of course, eyes are gawking and mouths are opening at the sight of my car. This happens everyday. The only time I used a lot of money, was on this car. This car I love more than anything.
I had to tell lies that my close friend somewhere in Japan, leant it to me to use it so I can drive to school and take care of it when he's studying in Japan.
So because of that, people think this Bugatti Veyron is not mine. They still envy me for having this car. The face on Tiffany's face when she saw my car was priceless.
At least I managed to get a different image from who I really am. Only Sooyoung and they know why I actually have this car. Yes, I bought it, but just like the sandwich it helps me remember important memories.
I walked out my car and swept my hair back. I heard many gasps.
"Taeyeon is so hot."
"If she wasn't cold I'd try to bang her."
Oh hell no. I immediately turned to the boy who said those gross words. I glared at him and I managed to crack a sweat out of him.
He stood still like a soldier with wide eyes. I smirked and walked towards him.
"Say those words again, and you will never be able to bang another soul with that small dick of yours." I poked him in his chest without breaking eye-contact.
"Ye-yes T-Taeyeon-sshi!" He stepped back and bowed to me. He grabbed his friends and immediately dashed away from me.
I managed to hear even more whispers of the scene I just created.
"Taeyeon sure is one scary girl."
"Hope I don't get myself on her bad side."
That caused me to smile. It sure was cute to see people afraid when I'm not really a scary person.
I was walking through the halls when I spotted Sooyoung with them. She seemed really happy with them. She did seem happy hanging out with me too, but with my depressing self I guess she should hang out with them more often right?
I smiled at the sight of our friends acting like dorks. I was once apart of the group of dorks. Sooyoung spotted me smiling and she immediately smiled back and waved. The rest saw me and their expressions saddened. With wide eyes I turned around and left.
How I wish to be part of that group again. But being apart of a group of friends means more arguments, more fights, more dissapointment, and obviously more depression. I'm not diagnosed. I chose to be like this.
I walked into class and slumped down. Just like wildfire, I heard people whispering about the scene that occurred not to long ago.
Just like always.
I heard the class settle down into silence and I looked up. The teacher just walked in.
"For this class, someone will be joining. She is taking an interior design course if you guys are wondering. That's why she's in visual because her drawing also needs improvements." The teacher announced, at the sound of 'she' the boys cheered.
The girl walked in, it's her.

With motivation to become the best blacksmith in the world, he seeks to become a disciple of the Bridge Village's best blacksmiths, only to be kicked out of all of them.

After hiding himself in an alley when night fell, the reality finally catches up to him - he was truly alone. Yet, morning come, he is greeted by a knee of an old man who, after beating him for sleeping in the old man's 'backyard', takes him in. Finally being given a helping hand, he clutches tightly onto it, becoming the old man's disciple and learning the ways of the crafting, naturally while flirting with the old man's wife in his free time. Little did he know that this encounter would spark an adventure that would take him to the heights he never believed even existed, and would let him meet people he'd only read about in the books.
