Small Problem

"Welcome!"

Zen is currently wearing long black clothes with Jong-un Food text on the chest.

Zen was greeting the customers who just entered the store he works right now. His hands continue to cut onions, garlic, and chili at a consistent speed.

"I want one portion of spicy chicken, sweet, please!"

Customers who just entered the store immediately ordered one portion of the spicy chicken sweet menu to Zen. He took an empty seat and quickly sat on it.

"Sure, please wait for a few minutes, sir!"

Zen said to the customer.

He began to take the six pieces of chicken he had prepared before. Making a special knife to cut meat, Zen sliced chicken meat into several small pieces. He took another part of the chicken and immediately did the same on it.

"Hey kid, you look a little depressed. Is there a problem in your new school?"

Jong-un, the food shop owner, asked Zen in a caring tone. He saw Zen-like someone who was thinking about many things, very different from himself a few days ago.

"Oh, there's no serious problem, uncle. Only a small problem. There is no need to be so worried about me."

Zen includes small pieces of chicken, garlic, onion, sweet soy sauce, and chili of slices into the hot skillet he had prepared beforehand.

While sauteing the chicken evenly, Zen tried to convince the shop owner not to worry about him.

"Really? Well, if there is a problem, don't hesitate to try asking me, kid. Maybe I could help you with your problem."

Answers Jong-un without turning his face an still looking at the pan. Even though they both talked, it does not make them stop moving their hands from the pan and the food they cook. However, professionalism must still be carried out.

And of course, Jong-un doesn't believe in what Zen said. He knows that something is happening to Zen.

But Jong-un is not someone who forces Zen to tell about things that Zen doesn't want to say to him.

So, the only thing he can do is try to give the best help when Zen's need him.

"Of course, uncle, thank you."

Zen said with a smile. He has put the spicy chicken sweet on the plate. After making sure that the dishes perfectly arranged, Zen starts taking the plate and immediately presents it to the customers who ordered it before.

The smell of the dish now spread to the entire store.

Zen's house.

"Finally! Rest time."

Zen, who had laid himself on the bed, said with a long sigh.

It's late at night, and finally, he can rest his body. The work finished a while ago. It turns out today many customers come to the food store where Zen works, especially after a new menu added the previous day.

That is the reason why Zen is quite exhausted at this time. He had washed his face and several parts of his body with water, all he needed now is, rest his body and take asleep.

But there were a few things he still thought about, and he couldn't get rid of that thought.

He remembered when he got slapped quite bad the day before.

The girl named Queen suddenly slapped him. The thing that keeps blocking Zen's mind is this.

He thought that he was too excessive, even though that girl also quite extreme at the time. But still, the negative feelings from his past unintentionally targeted the wrong person. And Zen thinks that what he is doing is not like himself.

"Hooff... And also with this check, it looks very excessive to give me this much money."

Zen said when he saw the check paper on his hand.

"Even though she said that this check was for my medical expenses, it was still too much..."

Taking a blanket, Zen tilted his body towards the right side. He put the check paper into the drawer right next to him.

"Unfortunately, she is not present at school today. Is this because of me? Maybe. I'd better return this check to her tomorrow. "

Zen muttered.

"After all, I don't need much money. I'm also not too greedy and also don't have an excessive love for money."

He thought of resolving this problem tomorrow morning.

He also remembers exciting things that happened at his school today. At that time, there were several female students from the kendo club trying to recruit new members. Shortly after, a short blonde girl was coming into the classroom. Zen saw that the girl was the same girl who had tried to take a kiss from him forcibly.

Zen saw the girl break a concrete brick with only her feet. Zen was very surprised by that. He thought that the girl was strong or just forced herself.

After that, he also saw her trying to draw attention from him while in the school field. Zen is not an idiot man. He knows what she wanted to.

And something happened, that was quite funny. The girl pulled some massive car tires. Moreover, the tires were quite a lot. It can see that the weight of the entire tire she pulled is more than 20kg.

Zen saw her fall at that time, even though her actions look so fake. But still, Zen's man soul did not allow himself to remain indifferent to her. In the end, Zen took the girl to the school health room by holding her.

"What a strange girl..."

Zen muttered with a slight shake of his head. Zen smiled slightly and immediately closed his eyes slowly.

For now, what Zen wants is to sleep. He needs to recover his strength for tomorrow.

After a while, Zen finally fell asleep with a calm expression. His body covered in a warm blanket that he had.
