Elysian

Chapter 2

(CW) slapping

Walking out of his office Hongjoong didn't expect to see such a pretty face.

When Jeno informed him about his next appointment and the type of car he would be working on, Hongjoong honestly expected to see either a young snobby white girl or a middle-aged mom and her screaming kids.

So to instead see someone like… well him it was a pleasant surprise.

Watching the interaction between Jeno and the male it was obvious the two knew each other.

"Are you two friends?" Hongjoong asks the black-haired male.

"Wha? Oh, Jeno and I? I wouldn't call us friends. More like a hindrance in my life. He's my brother's friend… and apparently my babysitter." Wooyoung said, mumbling out the last part.

"Don't mumble, it's impolite." was all Hongjoong said as a reply. His eyes seeming to study the younger male infront of him.

Wooyoung didn't say anything after that, instead he looked down awkwardly. Which was obviously the wrong move on his part.

Hongjoong shook his head with a slight tsk, walking past the younger male with a "kids these days are so rude."

It honestly made the male's heart sink down to the pit of his stomach. In five minutes, he somehow already got on the male's bad side.

"I'm so dead," Wooyoung mumbled to himself as he made his way into the garage. His eyes widening as he came into view of the two elder males.

Hongjoong talking to a wide-eyed Jeno who looked a little upset. A million different scenarios popped into his mind and as the pink-haired boy's eyes shifted over to him with a glare Wooyoung knew he was utterly fucked.

The two spoke a few more words before Hongjoong took the keys from the younger, moving to start his several hours of work on the car.

Jeno on the other hand looked like he was on a mission. He still had that death glare on his face as he marched his way to where Wooyoung stood.

"Front desk, now," Jeno grumbled as he shoved the younger male out of the garage.

"You had one job, Jung Wooyoung! One fucking job. Don't annoy Kim Hongjoong. Why can't you just behave for once in your life!" Jeno lectured.

"It's not like I fucking meant it! I don't mean to be a nuisance in everyone's life! It's not like I want to be the problem!" Wooyoung argued back tears welling up in his eyes.

"Then why do you constantly make trouble for everyone around you?"

Wooyoung felt like his chest was filled with hot rocks.

Why did Jeno say the same thing as Taeil Hyung?

Do I make trouble for everyone? Wooyoung thought, Am I really that big of a problem?

Just as Jeno was about to carry on Hongjoong walked in.

"Go home Jeno, I got everything from here."

Jeno looked up in surprise then back at the emotional boy in front of him with a huff. "I'll be informing your Hyungs about this Jung Wooyoung." He stated as he grabbed his keys from under the desk.

The pink-haired man wasn't about to argue with his boss.

As the male walked out Hongjoong turned his attention to the emotional black-haired boy in front of him.

"Follow me." He said in a monotoned voice.

"Are… are you gonna kill me?" Wooyoung asked.

"Why would I do that?" Was the reply he got from the elder.
