chapter 19; " diamond & golds "

September 30, 18:22 PM

Hyunjin scanned the diamond bracelet briefly. He figured it was the bracelet his father kept talking about.

"I brought in a really expensive bracelet to one of our jewelry stores, it's a gem, If you find it pretty or incase it reminds you of anyone special. You're free to take it without paying. Although it'd lower your reputation on how your rely on your father's power only." The words of his father replayed in his head. It was the talk from earlier. Hyunjin nodded silently. "Can you wrap this up for me in the prettiest box?" Hyunjin asked. The other woman employee side eyed him. "Are you trying to steal this? Do you know how expensive this bracelet costs? It costs more than your one room apartmen-" before she could continue her co-worker abruptly interrupted her. "Eun-mie! Stop being so rude, our actions are recorded on the camera.." Her co-workers blurted, causing Eun-mie's eyes to widen as he scanned the room to find a hidden camera quickly.

"My deepest apologies sir, we'll pack that for you quickly" Eun-mie apologized and ran to her co-worker to help her out.

Hyunjin was taken aback by what the girl had said, he was pissed off about what she said to him but he ignored it as he took his black card out and handed it to the employee. "May we have an ID check, it's requested we do it when someone is buying a high priced item" the girl asked Hyunjin, he gave them their ID card as the employee's hand started shaking. "Uh..can you please remove your cap and hood so we can verify that this is indeed you? The employee asked politely. Eun-mie stood behind, watching the situation unfold right infront of her eyes as she fidgeted with the hem of her outfit.

Hyunjin took his cap out causing his hood to fall down, his hair messed up as he brushed it up with his hand for them to verify it was him. "O-oh, greetings Mr.Hwang.." the girl stuttered before swiping the card and it was paid immediately. Not a single error as she handed Hyunjin's ID card and black card back to him. Eun-mie stared at him in shock as Hyunjin decided to leave his cap on the desk and left by grabbing the bag that has the bracelet inside.

"Eun-mie, you should count your hours right now.." the girl muttered to Eun-mie as soon as Hyunjin left. Eun-mie gasped for air as she was holding her breath in. "Oh my gosh I'm gonna get sued..." Eun-mie panicked, her employee didn't bother with her as she fixed her position, welcoming another customer in.

Hyunjin walked around the department store with the bag in his hands as it swung with each step he took. His phone in his other hand started ringing suddenly as he looked at the contact name. 'Jisung' He stared at the screen before picking it up.

"Can we hang out?" Jisung asked as soon as Hyunjin picked up, catching him off guard. "Sure, I'm at the mall. Coming?" He asked Jisung, his fingers fidgeting with the buttons on the side of the phone. "Already here, come to that cozy themed coffee shop, I'm too lazy to look at it's name- basically third floor. Hurry up" Jisung hung up. Hyunjin sighed and walked towards the escalator he was on the second floor going up to third. He made it to the third floor as he saw Jisung sitting on a table at the corner with Minho next to him. They were drinking milkshakes in this cold weather. Hyunjin walked up to the table and sat down across from them. "What's up?" Minho asked, leaning back on the chair.

"Nothing, just dropped by my father's office" Hyunjin responded, they spent their time talking and chatting before Hyunjin felt thirsty. "Wait up, I'll order something real quick" Hyunjin stood up as his chair creaked. He made his way to the desk and ordered his coffee. "Y/n, one more latte with extra sugar!" The girl at the desk yelled, earning a lilt tone from Y/n. "Alrightt" she responded, quickly making the coffee.

Hyunjin's eyebrows furrowed at the name mention, Curious to see if it was the actual person he was thinking of.

Haewon and Y/n had become good partners as they did everything quickly without a single complaint.

Y/n gently drew a flower on the latte before covering it with the lid as he placed it on the counter. "Order 98th!" She yelled before going back to organize the straws that looked out of place.
