Chapter 27

Time- 11:45 PM
Location- ???

"Come on, Yeosang... Work with me here..." Wooyoung mumbles, adjusting Yeosang who's fast asleep on his shoulder with a little jump.

It's been about 5/6 hours since Wooyoung and Yeosang have got up and fled your place. It's gotten pretty close to midnight and the two boys have been walking farther and farther away from home.

They decided to make a quick stop near a cafe shop so they could rest their legs and catch their breath after a while of walking. As they rested, Yeosang found his eyes growing heavy and he feel asleep in a matter of seconds as he rested his head against Wooyoung's bicep.

And that brings us to now...

Wooyoung is currently struggling to find a way back to your place and keep Yeosang steady on his shoulder at the same time. They have no phones, no wallets, and no jackets; nothing that they needed to prepare themselves for the events that would occur that night.

As Wooyoung was crossing the road to get to the other side of the street, rain started to pour from the dark clouds forming in the sky.

"You've got to be kidding me.." Wooyoung mutters rather angrily, as he as folds his hands over Yeosang's head to try to keep him dry. Yes, he did know the small gesture wouldn't help the latter but, he had to at least try.

As the rain starts to come down more heavily, Wooyoung continues to walk down the sidewalk, his gaze shifting to his left and right in hopes of finding a place to settle in for the night.

Apparently, luck isn't on his side because no shops, restaurants, or hotels he walked past were opened; they were all closed for the night. At the sudden shout of his name being called, Wooyoung quickly looks back, his eyes landing on two girls following him and Yeosang. He quickly looks back ahead, quickening his pace as he desperately tries to find a open shop that he could run into.

He continues to hear the same girl call his name but now, she's also calling Yeosang's. Wooyoung keeps his mouth shut to avoid yelling at the two and continues to run down the slippery wet sidewalk.

To his relief, he finds a hotel sign a few buildings ahead of him; making a quick run for the building before he pushes open the glass doors and stumbles inside.

"Can I help you, Sir?"

Wooyoung's heart skips a beat before he looks to his right, his eyes landing on a woman looking straight at him, her fingers resting on top of the laptop that are on the desk in front of her.

"Sir?" The clerk repeats.

"Oh, sorry. I was zoning out for a bit." Wooyoung apologizes, his breathing slightly heavy as he walks up to the desk.

"Oh, that's alright. Are you looking to stay here for the night or for a few days?"

"Umm.. I just need to stay here for tonight. I have somewhere to be tomorrow."

"Alright. Now would that be a room for two or one?"

"Umm.." Wooyoung's gaze shifts over to Yeosang, who's still fast asleep on his shoulder, before he looks back at the clerk. "Room for two, please."

"Okay. Y'all will be taking room 102 which is located on the second floor. The pay for one night will be $45."

"Of course-" A heavy sigh escapes Wooyoung's lips when he reaches into his pocket, his expression falling due to it being completely empty. "Umm... I have a small... issue..." Wooyoung says, a nervous chuckle escaping his lips.

"What's wrong, Sir?" The clerk asks, looking up from her laptop and folding her hands over her keyboard, politely.

"I don't have any money..." The clerk stares right at him, her hand sliding the room key towards her as she doesn't take her eyes off the two boys in front of her.
