Chapter 9

Ecofy opened their store along with the promotional booth at a hallway near the cafeteria. The booth included lucky draws and spin the wheel for which anyone who have made a purchase at their store can participate in.

The team members took turns handling the booth and Jaemin volunteered to handle it first. He was making some final adjustments to the company website before publishing it. That was when he got a call from an unknown number. 

"Hello,"

"Hey cutie. How you doin'?" 

"Who is this? I think you got the wrong number," 

"Nope. I remember your sweet voice. It's Jeno," 

"Jeno? How did you get my number?"

"Your friend Ryujin helped me out. She came into the store this morning. I asked if she knew a Jaemin and she was more than happy to help," 

"Urghh... Ryujin. I'll deal with her later. What do you want?"

"Wanna hang out?" 

"I can't. I have to handle this booth here on campus,"

"I'll go there then," 

"No, don't. You don't even know where 'here' is," 

"Oh honey, I have my ways," Jeno said and Jaemin was grateful Jeno couldn't see him right now as he was blushing profusely at the nickname. 

A few minutes later Jaemin saw Jeno walking towards the booth so he tried to hide behind it but Jeno saw him already. 

"Hey! There's no point in hiding now. I could identify that handsome face of yours from a mile away," 

"Stop exaggerating,"

Jeno and Jaemin hung out at the booth the whole evening. Apparently Jeno was a girls magnet as the booth was filled with girls almost the entire time. It made Jaemin throw stink eyes at Jeno which didn't go unnoticed by the latter. 

When they were finally left alone again, Jaemin turned to Jeno and said, 

"Looks like someone's famous," 

"What are you talking about? I only wanted to help you," Jeno replied dismissively.

"Sure, whatever you say," Jaemin said with a mocking tone. 

Jeno got stiff. He turned to face Jaemin directly grabbing his shoulders. 

"Jaemin, I'm serious. I really like you. At first I thought you were really cute but the more I pursued you the deeper I fell. I know I haven't felt like this in a long time. You probably think I'm just a flirt but this time it's genuine. I like you, Jaemin," 

Jaemin froze. He couldn't get the words to come out. As soon as he processed what he just heard, he couldn't help but run to the nearest restroom. 

Flight has always been his response to these kinda situations.

Yeji and Ryujin were managing the store. Ryujin was mostly recording their sales in the books while Yeji was bothering her because there weren't many customers in the evening. 

"What does this mean?" Yeji asked. 

"That's an abbreviation for balance carried down. It means that this month's balance is sent to next month," Ryujin explained clearly. 

"Oh... but why are you closing the account already? We just started the business," 

"This account records the capital and we're not allowed to bring in our own capital so mind as well close it already,"
