FALSE COLORS || Yeonkai ||

CHAPTER 3

Choi Yeonjun was a fucking mess, everyone knew that. He procrastinated like hell and then stressed the last minute of the deadline, just like he was doing now.

He had an interview the next day at ten in the morning and here he was finishing up filling his records and filing his certificates that were strewn all over the house.

He hasn't picked up a outfit, and nor has he spray dyed his hair and his university study certificate was still missing. Fuck this.

After an hour scampering around, cursing and ripping the house into shreds he finally finished filing all the documents necessary and checked the time, it was one am.

Well fuck.

Now he still had to do is pick his outfit and spray paint his hair black. That will done in the morning, so he walks towards his wardrobe finding something to hide the tattoos on his left arm. They aren't flooded but he does have around five of them.

He picks a black and white pinstriped shirt and black cotton pants, also sleek black shoes. He himself awes at his tie collection, there are all extremely eccentric, for instance the fish tie and the one with cactuses, Oh Yeonjun remembers this, the gift from Soobin who hoped to express his displeasure with him using the print of cactuses and thorns on it.

But the jokes on him because Yeonjun pulls it off effortlessly with his plain blue shirt rolled up to sleeves and white jeans and a red cap. He still remembers Soobin's jaw drop on how he managed to pull it off. Ha that's right nothing can take him down in the field of fashion, losers.

Finally picking a decent plain black tie, he settles for bed at 1.30 am. He manages to get seven hours of sleep and then he is off to preparing himself for the interview, and he hopes that they like the others won't be homophobic assholes, though its a slim chance.

He first sets on spray dyeing his hair black and then straightens it out, grimacing a little when the bangs falls on his eyes irritating it. Then he rushes to complete dressing himself and when he decided that he is satisfied, he heads off to the interview. 

The interview, surprisingly goes smoothly, they did not care about his sexual orientation (finally a proper professional interview) and Yeonjun kind of understood it since it was an MNC.

The response will be given to him in nine days and he had applied holiday on that day at the Pizza haven. Having nothing to do further after the interview, he treated himself to Tteokbokki and Jajangmyeon pleased with how his interview went.

For desert he treated himself to a piece of cake, jelly and rice cakes. He was happy and celebration meant food. Man how much Yeonjun loved food, he also wanted to be a Mukbanger in his free time. Not a bad thought, perhaps he would become one after getting the job. The money and his desire would be fulfilled. 

He pats his tummy satisfied and decide to walk to his house to burn some of the calories he just had, it was an hour away by walk but he will probably will make it.

He loosens the tie fully, a habit he had ever since high school. It stuck with him through university and work, he untucked his shirt too and ruffling his hair a bit. Rolled up his sleeves and lo and behold he was ready to go to the pizzeria and rub it in Soobin's face, Yeonjun changed his destination once again to the pizzeria since he wanted to tell Beomgyu. 

While walking Yeonjun spotted a scooter similar to his which he used to do the deliveries, then he remembers the blonde boy.

He was gorgeous by all means, how did Yeonjun not know about the cute guy until yesterday. (perhaps because he lives in Seoul city and he can't know all the ten million people) his rational part chides but he pays no heed to it.

The boy could literally pass of as an idol with those unreal angel like visuals and that sweet voice.

Man Yeonjun wonders, where the boy had been his whole life, he couldn't get the boy out of his mind yesterday perhaps why it took him four hours in the dead night to finish his work, all he could think about the boy and his face, his voice and he fell asleep to thinking about the blonde cutie.

 The pizzeria appears in his sight and he enters in with a wide grin. Beomgyu looks up from the counters and mirrors his smile, runs and wraps his arms around Yeonjun.

He hugs back with the same enthusiasm. Taehyun rolls his eyes and turns away with a scoff. Soobin comes out of his room and glares at Yeonjun.

"Guess what Bin, I had an interview today and people said I had a good sense of fashion" His sweet honey pours out. He and the younger had a small rivalry going on who has the best fashion sense, so they both put a lot of effort in it.

From the side eye he sees Beomgyu cringing at it, Soobin frowns and shrugs his shoulders the furrow in his brow still present. "Good for you, good luck" He grimaces and goes back. Well that unexpectedly went smoothly and Yeonjun pouts.

Damn it! He wants drama not that half assed response, before he can go into the room to annoy him, Beomgyu stops him by pulling his arm. "Stop the guy already went through a lot today" 

"Why? what happened?"

"Had a minor argument with the café manager across the street and he managed to get hold of Seokjin who gave Soobin an earful for being rude"

"oh! but what did Soobin do?"

"Nothing, the employee there humiliated Taehyun and called the pizza tasteless so Soobin stood up for him and that girl kinda snitched or whatever so yeah, was a little sticky"

"Wow such a bitch" He seethes looking at the cafe across the streets, how mean could they get. The cafe always had problems with the pizzeria but they do have a good relationship with Seokjin (he doesn't know how but the rumor is the owner of the cafe is dating Seokjin), so they have no choice to keep quiet. It pisses Yeonjun off but there is nothing more he can do.

He just sighs and bids them a good bye and walks back to his home. His flat is messy with clothes and files strewn all over the room. Removing his shoes and muttering a curse he sets to clean  the darn room. It takes him two hours to finish cleaning and finally he order himself a takeout pizza and burger with a can of coke.

Opening his laptop, he navigates through random tabs and topics before his eyes fall on a website. "HURRY< ONLY FOUR SLOTS LEFT> PRIZE MONEY 100 MILLION" It flashes in red and the mention of money piques his interest.

He reads through the website and finds out it is conducted especially for Lgbtq+ couples to promote the equal rights in Korea and remove the homophobia and the narrow mindedness. 

He loves the concept and he would have entered his name, if only it weren't that he did not have an significant other. Now that he thinks about it he remembers someone at the Pizzeria talking about the particular website.

At first he did not pay much mind to it, but later he did when he learned that they are a lesbian couple. So this was a real website and it did give money but he just doesn't have a boyfriend. How unfortunate, he could have bought the Volvo car with it.

Shutting off the laptop he falls back on the bed letting the sound of breeze lull him to sleep, trying his best to not get disappointed that he lost a golden opportunity, but he woke up with a start.

What if, he convinces the blonde guy to go with him and pretend to be a couple. Wait that sounds a little absurd, why would a total stranger come with him. But he cannot help thinking that he knows the guy, he looks somewhat familiar.
