At The End Of The World Together Forever // TOMORROW X TOGETHER [BeomJun]

Chapter Ten - Battle at the Shop

The sun was beaming down on the paved ground, which covered a wide part of the surface in front of the huge shop. It was near the highway, which was the reason why it immediately caught Beomgyu's eye and he insisted on taking a stop at the huge store. There was no particular thing he wanted to buy or look at, he just wanted to experience something different than just sitting in the car for hours and hours. Yeonjun had already lost the argument against another stopover in the very beginning as the other three in the back were all on Beomgyu's side.

"Why are you so against stopovers, Yeonjun? Are you allergic to fun?" Kai asked as he rested both of his arms on the car roof and laid his chin on top of his intertwined hands. Yeonjun, who stood on the other side of the car, only gave him a miffed gaze before he turned his head around to Beomgyu, standing with Soobin and Taehyun a few meters away from them. Yeonjun raised his left arm and rested it casually on top of the car.

After Beomgyu chatted with the other two for about two minutes, he turned around to Yeonjun and ran up to him with a sparkling gaze on his face. He looked like a happy puppy, his mouth was wide open and his eyes were big and showed utter pureness.

Beomgyu reached the car and made a little jump before he stood still in front of Yeonjun, shaking his arm in excitement, which already showed through his bright smile.

"Let's go inside!" He ran his hand down Yeonjun's arm and took his hand in his own, intertwining them before Beomgyu pulled him away from the car and over to Soobin and Taehyun, who were already going inside. Yeonjun smiled at Beomgyu softly, when he didn't look at him but only at the huge shop.

"Let's go, big guy." Yeonjun exclaimed and swung his head around to Kai with a teasing smile.

From the inside, the shop looked even bigger. The shelves were taller than Yeonjun could have imagined. They reached almost to the ceiling and were packed with boxes and products, from camping equipment to combine harvesters.

Yeonjun pushed the shopping cart in which Beomgyu was sitting and walked past the high shelves that seemed to have no end. The end of the shop was only a few meters away and the few people shopping with their carts made the shop seem bigger than it actually was.

While Yeonjun and Beomgyu went ahead with their cart, Soobin and Taehyun followed them with a little distance between them. Soobin was looking at his phone, checking how much money he still had in his bank account. He noticed that it was empty, although he remembered that there was still some amount in his account, when he had checked it the evening before he met Beomgyu and Yeonjun at the gas station.

"You okay?" Taehyun asked and twitched his hand a little as he wanted to take Soobin's hand, but decided against it during his movement. Soobin closed his phone and put it back into his pocket.

"Yeah! Everything's fine." He smiled down at the little one, Taehyun smiling back with a mild tone.

"Hey guys!" Soobin and Taehyun looked to the left and watched a small ball getting thrown by Kai, flowing into their direction. Soobin caught the ball with both hands before it could crash into his face. Kai started to laugh out loud and rested his right arm against a grid box full of different coloured balls.

Yeonjun put one foot on the cart and swung it around with his other foot. Beomgyu held onto the cart by clawing his hands into the grating and let out a low cry with his mouth wide open. Yeonjun laughed at his little scream.

Yeonjun and Beomgyu came to a halt right next to Soobin and Taehyun and only then realized in which section of the store they were in. The shelfs were full of toys and sports equipment.
