"Cold."

S1-Chapter two.

First Person pov: Hyunjin.

-One week prior.-

"Two hours later I finish my photo shoot and make my way to the café I frequent. The bell rings as I walk in, welcomed by a wave and a warm smile.

"The usual Mr. Hyunjin?" The tall barista asked, I nodded in response before he immediately handed me an ice coffee.
...Whattt?

"Don't worry, it wasn't me. Some handsome guy over there must really like you." He replied, pointing behind me towards one of his most frequent customers. I turn around to see none other than Seo Changbin. He winks at me, causing me swiftly turn back around.

"That means he knows my schedule..." I whispered over the counter. "He's in here often enough. Anyways~ I have to get back to my job." I thanked him before sitting down in my usual spot, pulling out my laptop to do some work.

Since last year I've been put in the position of basically having two lives, I have very little time for a break. Meaning, I still have to work even during my modeling hours.
Almost fifteen minutes into staring at my laptop I see someone walk by.

"Why are you sitting here staring at this when you could be over there with him, huh?  If I didn't have a boyfriend already, I'd take him if you don't want him."

I look up to see Seonghwa in his strikingly dark hair era.
"Nice hair.. And, I don't even know him. What if he's a creep who's been stalking me or something?"

He nods before closing my laptop, picking it up and walking out. "My shifts over, I'll see you tomorrow Mingi." He yells, waving his hand and closing the door behind him.
I jump out of my seat, the chair skidding across the floor as I run out behind him.

"SEONGHWA WHAT THE FUCK?!"

I catch up to him, grabbing my laptop as he starts laughing at me. "Why are you laughing?! That's not funny." I ask, out of breath. "You'll thank me later~" He smiles at me before walking away, leaving me staring at the back of his head.
Seriously, what is this dude on???

Speed walking back to get my stuff, I make it just a few feet in front of the door before it opens right it my face.
"Leaving so soon?" Says the man on the other side of the door.

Standing right in front of me is- wait for it..

Changbin!!

I freeze. Looking at him, at the ground, at him, and then at the ground again. Quickly, I pull out five dollars from my pocket.
"Here.. Thanks.", I extend my hand towards him. He touches the money, then he takes my hand. "Keep it." He looks at me and kisses my hand.

My heart stops.

He lets go of my hand before walking away as the money falls to the ground. I stumble to pick it up before yelling back-"At least let me pay you back somehow!"

Changbin turns around to glance at me, smiles, and walks away.

All I can think is-
Oh my god. Oh. My. God. OH MY GOD!!!"

"OMG!!! Here, try this on! I'll be right back!" Chae ran over, handing me hangers of fancy clothes. I took them, examining the items before smiling at her and turning to my dressing room. Putting on a black and white blouse over black skinny jeans I go back out to get my makeup done.

"Wait.. so why are you so upset about this? You've liked him for the past 7 months." Chae says as she walks over to me.

"Because I can't date him. My parents won't let me and with my situation I can't drag him into this. He'll just get hurt, or worse."

"So what? I say fuck whatever your parents say. They don't even have to know. It's not like they're around a lot anyways." She answers, holding up a few more shirts.  "Look.. you only live once Hyunjin, how much longer are you going to let your parents stop you from living your life?"

-Present time.-

"What do you mean he's gone?! Where did he go?"

Seungmin hesitated on the other line before answering. "I don't know.. I didn't think he leave."

"Well I don't know Seungmin- if some stranger dragged me to their house after I got jumped by a mob of people, didn't let me go home, and grilled me on top of that- I definitely wouldn't sneak out the second I got the chance to.." I replied.

"Funny. We have to get him back before he tells someone."

"Well maybe if you could just not be exceptionally nice to every single person you meet we wouldn't be here. You're a good person Seung, but you can't foster every kid you see on your way to the store."

He really is too good for this world.

"I'm sorry ok? Just help me find him please, I'm not trying to die. Also... i feel like I owe it to him to keep him safe."

"Aww Seungmin's back at it again. Saving the world.. I'll help, just give me a few hours, I have to do something. You can start looking in the mean time. Maybe ask Mingi to help."

"Thank you! I will~."
