The clock on the wall of a little convenience store read 1:00 AM as Yerin packs some cereal boxes on the shelves. The convenience store was quiet as a few costumers attracts in odd hours of day. The quietness of the store as the usual hum comes from the refrigerator units and chatters between Yerin and Soobin, her co- worker.
After Yerin was done staking the cereal boxes as she makes her way to the counter, standing behind as she helps assist Soobin with a costumer. Yerin scans their items, and rings their total. "Thank you for shopping at 2forFoods, please come again" Yerin politely smiled.
The costumer bowed as he exited the store, Yerin went back to restocking the cereal boxes as she takes the crates out of the isle pathways. Once they were taken away to the back of the store, Yerin entered the back door into the store as she laughs at her Boss's joke. "Mr. Kim, that was hilarious" her laughter filling the air of the convenience store.
Yerin turned around as she bumps into a chest. Just not any chest a boy's chest. "Oh, I'm so sorry" She quickly grabs napkins as she wipes the spilled coffee from his shirt. "Watch where you are going" he spat clearly annoyed.
Yerin froze as she looked into his, cold gaze. The lump in her throat got stuck, as she scoffed. "Uh, rude of you to say" Yerin annoyingly spat, as she throws the napkin away. The boy scoffed at Yerin, as he smirked at her. "Don't you have two eyes for a reason?" the boy said cockily.
"I do, but I'm not blind" Yerin defended herself. The boy scoffed at the girl. "Sure, you are, but I don't believe you" the boy chuckled. Yerin scoffed as she was about to say something to the boy, a hand grabs her hand, dragging her to the far corner of the convenience store.
It was Soobin. Soobin wide eyes as she glared at the boy who looked at her with a smirk as he winked in her direction. She made a disgust face as she rolled her eyes at him. Soobin snapped his fingers in her face as Yerin snapped looking at her co - worker, annoyingly she spat "What is it, Soobin" Yerin realized her mistake as gasp in shock. Soobin stood in front of her as he flinched.
"Oh, Soobin. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you" Yerin softly said as she hugs him. Soobin returned the hug. "No, it's fine" Soobin said forgivingly. She looked at him. "What were you going to say" Yerin asked Soobin. Soobin looked at her with fear in his gaze.
"That's Haechan, the enigmatic leader of NCT. He is part of the mafia" Soobin trembled. Her eyes widen as her mouths hang out of shock. "Oh shit, Soobin" Yerin looked back at the boy who was still looking at the two.
Just then two boys burst into the store as they shouted. "Haechan we need to go! Someone is attacking our territory in the North" one boy said. He had dark brown/ black hair as he wore a classic, tailored suit. "I'm on my way" Haechan said as he makes his way out.
He stops in front of the two co- workers, he closes his distance. His nose just inches from Yerin's face. His breath, warm and faintly tinged with the scent of his expensive cologne, mingles with hers. His eyes, dark and intense, lock onto hers, holding them captive. There's a subtle, almost imperceptible smirk on his lips, and his voice drops to a husky whisper.
"Until we meet again, Princess," he said, and with that, her breath hitched as she watched his figure vanish into the night. Shocked and still, Yerin remained frozen, processing his proximity moments before. Breaking from her trance with a scoff, Yerin muttered, "He really is the flirty type," her voice tinged with annoyance as she stomped to the back of the store, her expression a mix of irritation and anger.
Soobin couldn't believe what just happened. Truly he must be mistaken as he must be dreaming as Lee Haechan the enigmatic Leader of NCT, yet ruthless stood before him. Soobin punched himself as he groans in pain.
"Soobin, why are you punching yourself" Yerin asks as she had her school bag hung off her shoulders as her shift just ended. "Uh, no reason. Are you seriously going out now?" Soobin looked at her in disbelief.
Yerin looked at him as to what question is that. "Yes, I can't sleep at the store silly, besides I hope I never meet that mafia of a jerk" as she bit her goodbye to Soobin. Soobin sighed. "Stay safe Yerin" He yelled as she steps out the convenience store into the cold night air.
