⁉️: "Never Forget"

(HALLOWEEN SPECIAL KINDA)
Third Person view (Narrator):

It has been 5 hours since Y/N left Case's house for a inconvenience at work with Shawn. Obviously at this time, they were done fixing the issue at the office; but Caseoh on the other hand was doubting that Y/N left for work.

What he had on his mind was they were both going on a date. Ridiculous, I know. Case is the type of guy to be a overthinker when it comes to the "love life" stuff.

I mean, Case is right in his thoughts:
"who else can stand a chance to the muscular, tall, kind, and good-at-flirting type of guy? I bet every girl or boy would go crazy for him."

He hates Shawn for a reason-and I think you know why.
And, somehow.. he had the random feeling that he needed to go back to his supermarket.

He started his car, then, he got in. The tires are slowly giving up at this point—and believe me or not, the supermarket was really near Case's house but... you know Case, he is really lazy in terms of walking, it's possibly the reason why he doesn't loose weight. (ofc)

Juan's POV:
As I was getting boxes filled with Susu sugar from the storage room, I saw a familiar car that stopped in front of the doorway. Then I heard a footstep louder than the average human being... it shook me, literally.

I looked at Jim and he does as well, his eyes widened. He's aware that boss is here.

"Jim is that—"
"BOSS IS HERE!"

We run to the door of the supermarket at the back of the storage room, screaming the same thing, boss is here.
We quickly went to our places—the cash register, the empty shelves/refrigerator.

The panicking was crazy.

Then there he is, standing in front of the doorway—Case. He reached over the store sign and flipped it over to the word "OPEN".

"Um," They muttered to themselves.
"Um? Is that all you can say to greet your boss?"
They all look at eachother and looked down to the ground.

"Hi boss,"
Case looked around looking around for something or someone and crossed his arms as he walked slowly to the cashiers. "Where's Shawn?"

Tim and Slim looked at eachother. "Uh.."
"Uh? What? Spit it out."

"He- he went to his other job.."

I approached them before Case could even reply.
"Yeah, but he said he's going to return soon and‐"

"'Kay, shut it Juan, I heard enough. Can you please decorate the supermarket with these decorations?" Caseoh said, placing a box down on the floor.

I picked it up—and god, it was so heavy. Not heavier like boss though I felt like it was going to break my back.

Tim looked at me and smiled like a little child that wants to be included in those types of activities, "Boss, Can I help Jua—"

"Jim will be helping him. Continue your job, you're slow as Christmas, Tim. A customer is here—Hurry up, hurry up."

"And Juan are you just going to stand there? You better move your muscles right now to start decorating the place to attract more customers."

I looked down on the floor before heading to help Jim restock before decorating the place. I heard him sigh heavily, putting out his cigarette at the same time—"Bro Juan, do you ever get tired of this job? This is just the most toxic workplace I've been to. I mean all of our yelp reviews online are all just filled with dismay!"

"I'm... tired but.... I'm working here for the money for my family's sake, I honestly don't care to rest as long as I have a stable job."

"Are you crazy? You're slowly becoming a workaholic." He said.

"Yeah, yeah. I know, whatever." I say, walking out of Jim's sight and goes to the storage room. Panting softly, I drop the heavy box down and stretch my body before opening it... to see Halloween decorations..?

Weird, boss doesn't like decorating the supermarket much or he's just lazy... what has gotten into his guts and he suddenly thought to bring these stuff into here to attract customers?

I better start working because this is too much decoration, and if I complain, I might lose my job.

Y/N'S POV:

Work was finally done at the studio, though not for Shawn.

"By the way, Y/N, do you mind if I drop you off at the supermarket? I need to work there immediately because boss might be mad already. So you might need to walk home.. I'm..sorry."

"Yeah, no worries, it's fine." I reply, before looking at my phone and getting a notification from Caseoh in discord.

"Yo bro r you good?"
Just that sentence.
Without a minute of thinking, I reply "Yeah I am, why tho? You need smth?"

I heard Shawn sigh, "Anyway, we're here." I nodded and turned off my phone and got off the car.

"Shawn! What's good man!" Juan said, giving his friend a dap. "Yoo, uhm.. what's with the goofy ahh Halloween decors?"

"Well, you know boss, he becomes pretty random with his ideas sometimes." They both chuckled.

"Oh and, Juan, meet Y/N, they're a friend of mine in that photography studio." Shawn said, his hand patting both of our shoulders.

"Ayy, nice to meet you." I say, waving softly. Juan nods and continues to chat with Shawn.

Then... I saw Case absolutely screaming at Tim. Poor guy, he just wants to do his job.. "TIM WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? YOU ABSOLUTE LOSER!!!"

As soon as I wanted to walk into the supermarket, a lady with blonde hair entered the store. She was wearing sunglasses though took it off and put it in her emerald green purse. Sassy.

I walked in after her, she looked familiar, quite. It was Ellen.
"Um, maam, does this Case... scream often to that poor worker here?"
"Of course dear, do you even use your common knowledge? It's so obvious." She rolled her eyes and went to go shopping like usual.

"Well I just asked..." I mumbled to myself before approaching the mad ginger haired man. "Case.."

"WHAT DO YOU WA—Oh hi Y/N" His sudden mood swing made me chuckle silently. Tim was literally hiding behind his cash register, tears flowing down to his face as he looked at us talk in front of him. Poor guy...he deserves better...

"What made you come by here?"
"Oh just because of Shawn. He dropped me off here."
"Well then, that's perfect, can you um.. stay for a bit? Maybe I can drop you off home later again if you want to."

"No I'm fine, I'll just walk home besides it's just near here you know, it's like 1 block away. And I like doing some exercise." I say as I clear my throat.

Case nods and crosses his arms on his chest. "I'll be going now, nice to see you again Case. I'll see you later for the hangout?"

"You didn't.. forget?" I walked away, but I stopped.

"Of course I didn't forget."
"Especially if it's an occasion with my favorite person, and that's you." I say, continuing to walk out of the supermarket without a thought.

CaseOh's POV:

Y/N... called me their favorite person? I rested my hand on my chest, my heart beating so fast that I was sweating like crazy. "Tim, did you just hear what I hear?"

He nods and looks at me innocently, no thoughts behind those eyes. Before I see a woman in that green dress. "HAVENT I BANNED YOU PERMANENTLY IN MY SUPERMARKET ELLEN?—"

The noise resumed.
As my jealousy to Shawn emptied, my hope resuming to Y/N: who can be finally a new hope for my big lonely heart.
