warning: violence, blood

· you work at this convenience store in a not-so-great part of time

· as a high-school-er, it's not ideal to have a job, but you make do with what you have

· you're also like 95% sure that the bar next door to the convenience store sells some weird drugs or some shit out of the back

· but you value your life, so you don't press it

· one night during your shift, you were managing the cash register when a classmate of yours, bae jinyoung, bought some energy drinks

· he looked a bit surprised to see you, and you were surprised to see him as well

· "do you live in this part of town?" he asked hesitantly, almost as though he was nervous

· you explained that you didn't live there, but you'd seen the job offering and taken it immediately

· he bids you good night and hurries off into the night

· (you totally weren't watching where he went) but you could have sworn that he ducked into the bar next door

· shaking the odd feeling off, you turned back to the book that you were reading, waiting for your shift to end

· the next day in class, you see jinyoung and you make kind of awkward eye contact before turning back to your own work

· he was fairly popular at your school, and people liked him, but he didn't seem to have many close friends at your own high school, explaining to people that his best friend went to a different high school

· when you were coming into school a few days later, jinyoung apparently wasn't there because everyone was gossiping about him

· someone in your homeroom had a friend at the other high school in town, and bae jinyoung's best friend park jihoon was rumored to be in the 101, the mafia that held control over most crime in the area

· you didn't give it much thought, chalking it up to jealous teenagers, but that night when jinyoung stopped in the convenience store to buy energy drinks again, you couldn't help but stare as he quickly darted into the bar

· maybe he was in 101 as well as his friend from that other school,,,

· no way, you scolded himself, this was the guy whose face was smaller than a lollipop, he's not in the mafia

· welp

· a few weeks later, you were just chilling, restocking the magazines, when you heard the loud, telltale pop of rapid gunfire

· someone burst into the convenience store and yelled for you to get down

· you did as you were told, crawling over to where jinyoung crouched as well

· "what's going on? why is there shooting?"

· jinyoung grimaced, peeking his head out of the window quickly before ducking down again

· "is there a light switch or something that you can turn off?"

· you nodded, reaching up to flick the lights off

· "ok, do you have the keys?"

· shakily, you reached into your back pocket and handed jinyoung the keys to the front door
