"You? Own this car?"
—————————————————————

Ren loudly exclaimed.

JUN: Is that even relevant right now?

I screamed through the snow storm, my tone came off very angry accidentally so I quickly changed my pace.

JUN: Sorry, rough day.

Ren studied me and my situation.

REN: I heard a loud car beep near my place and my assumption was someone's car broke down, what I didn't know was a freaking Aston Martin was parked in front of my neighborhood?? Coming out here in this weather was so worth it.

This is possibly the first time hearing Ren say more than 2 sentences at a time, which did make me smugly smile at him.

REN: Also I think your car broke down.

JUN: Oh really? Couldn't tell, thought my car just wanted to sing me a lullaby.

I sarcastically replied which he did not appreciate, at all. Judging by his face, he probably wants to leave me here and freeze into an ice sculpture.

REN: Stay at my place.

At his place?? Did I hear that right? Wasn't he the one that's suspicious of everything I do, but to be honest, if he's offering who am I to object especially on this occasion?

JUN: Yeah, please.

I agreed and left my car, it can be fixed tomorrow when it's daytime and everything's cleared, plus help will be more available.

I shuffled towards Ren but my foot slipped on ice the moment I rushed my steps, luckily Ren caught me on my arm.

JUN: Thank you Renny.

Truly the last thing I want is a broken rib.

REN: Not paying for your hospital bills, watch your feet for me.

I gradually nodded, my nerves were frozen so it slowed down my movements, same with Ren because we both marched through the snow at .5x speed, we both were careful and possibly looked like two penguins at the moment, it's awfully funny to me if I wasn't 2 seconds away from frostbite.

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT - 8:45

3RD POV:

Both men went inside dripping wet from the sudden temperature change; in need of a shower, Ren offered to put both of their coats up on the rack and got them both settled, they both stripped until they were in underwear and a t-shirt since they are the driest clothes without getting naked. The whole situation was awkward but no one said anything, the shorter male went to the bathroom and set up a bath for Jun first.

JUN: But you're going to catch a cold out here, why don't we shower together?

His offer made Ren look at him as if he had grown 5 heads. 

REN: I am NOT getting naked with you.

He blushed hard and shoved Jun inside the bathroom, slamming the door shut. Jun stood there confused because his intentions were pure but also came to an understanding that some people aren't just comfortable like that.

REN: Clean clothes behind the door!

Ren yelled through the wall, still mildly flustered at Jun's suggestion, he went to grab a drink of warm water to cozy up a little and relax. Sitting still on the stool, listening to the water sounds as night began to fall upon the neighborhood, everything was quiet and almost calming to Ren's ears, almost.
