SOPE STORIES

Competition

Have you heard of the store Forever 21? Well if you haven't let me explain. It's a clothing store. Not the "best" to some people, but it's good. Staff members always work hard to put on a smile and help the most they can to their customers. But who knew two of them never really got along...

Min Yoongi and Jung Hoseok met each other on Yoongi's first day working at Forever 21. Their rivalry started when Hoseok made a comment to try to put a smile on for the costumers. Since he himself didn't seem to smile to anyone. So when they stood together by the cashiers, Hoseok smirked and joked around angering the other one.

It was Saturday 2pm, when they both were hanging clothes on racks as fast and clean as they could. They did so as they cursed each other down, glaring at each other as much as they could. And this might sound like a fight, but it's more like a conversation. They kept silent tho, because there were costumers around. They threw clothes or maybe even hangers at each, this until a costumer would interrupt them.

"Excuse me, where can I find more of these..." A girl, probably around 17 asked them, not expecting either of them to be as "attractive" as they are.

"Let me help you." Hoseok smiled, looking teasingly at the older.

"No no, I'll help her." Yoongi smirked.

They kept going on, both of them ending up on taking her to the isle she was looking for. The girl was pretty flustered, by having two handsome boys fighting "over her". Or not really they were just competing against each other.

"I don't even know what you're doing here. You're not friendly at all, why did they hire you?" Hoseok complained as he walked back to the racks.

"Because I'm hard working, you barely lift a finger." The older shrugged, meaning the insult.

"Are you serious, you've slept through your shift before."

"And you've skipped."

"That was only once, and you don't even know why."

"I don't have to know why, all I know is that the day you skipped i was the favorite."

"That'd never happen."

"Shut up!"

The boy threw a skirt at him, angry he couldn't win their argument. They walked back to the spot they were working at, this time not holding back their insults and aggression.

"Hey! You two! If you both don't stop fighting I'll make sure you both stay the whole night restocking everything." A woman, known as the store manager, paced towards the two boys.

She hoped the threat would be enough, but for the next 10 minutes she stood next to them they wouldn't stop. They glared at each other, sticking their tongues out, making faces at each other, and discreetly hitting the other with hangers.

"That's it! Both of you will work extra time time tonight until everything, and I mean all here and in stock, is in place! Understood!" The lady raised her voice pointing at both of them.

"Knowing how much of a coward you are, I'll stay." Yoongi raised his hand.

"No way, I can do it." Hoseok imitated his actions.

"There's no way you'll even stay, you're too much of a scary cat."

"Hey, at least I'm scared, you on the other hand scare."

"Not true, everyone loves me."

"Also not true, because I don't."

The woman who still watched the argument sighed, rolling her eyes, and pinching the bridge of her nose.
