Semi’s alarm screamed at the ungodly hour of 5:30 AM. She groaned, blindly reaching out before slamming her fist onto the clock to shut it up.

Dragging herself out of bed, she went through the motions—getting dressed, feeding her cat, fixing her hair—before finally stepping out into the cool morning streets of Seoul. The walk to work was routine, her mind still half-asleep as she made her way to the coffee shop.

As soon as she stepped inside, the overwhelming scent of coffee beans hit her. God, I do not wanna be here. But money was money, and at least Wednesdays were usually slow. Working the register wouldn’t be too bad—maybe her favorite customer would show up today.
