Wishing On A New Life

Daehyun~

Youngjae’s POV:

What is with this funny feeling inside? He’s just a guy with good looking eyes; I can’t even see the rest of his face. And he just saw me freak out; oh how embarrassing. I took a few deep breaths as my manager spoke for me. I extended my hand out for the chip.

“Jongup, can Youngjae see the chip?” Himchan asked for me. Jongup smiled and chuckled nervously.

“Uh well… it’s in that bag there.” He pointed to a zip lock bag with what looked like a destroyed laptop. I made an attempt to chuckle, but like always no sound came out. I step forward and opened the bag, carefully looking through all the pieces. “So what exactly happened to your laptop?” I slightly turned my head at the stranger, who just shrugged, so I went back to searching.

“Not much just defied my father’s request, so he broke the only thing that meant something to me.” I sighed in relief as I found the small chip. I picked it up and turned towards the others with a wide smile. “Oh! You found it.” He pointed out.

“Well, do you think you could get the information from that chip, Youngjae?” I turned towards Himchan and shrugged, before nodding. I sighed, walking around the counter and grabbing a piece of paper and pen.

I’ll need a working computer though. I scribbled, showing my manager when finished.

“Don’t you have one at home?” He questioned. I nodded and headed towards isle six.

“Where is he going?” Even muffled, I could still make out what he was saying. I grabbed a USB and made my way back to the cash register. I set down the device and had Jongup ring it up. I took out some money and paid for the device. “What do you need that for?” I smiled and grabbed the paper again.

I need something to put the information in.

“Oh well, I could have paid for that. Thank you, Youngjae.”

You’re welcome stranger. XD

My ears perked up as the stranger let out a soft chuckle.

“My name is Daehyun.” Daehyun, that’s a pretty name. I thought to myself. “Well, I should probably get back. When will you be done retrieving the information?” I thought about it for a little and shrugged.

As soon as I can.

“Youngjae, you can go home now. So you can get started on the chip.” I nodded and went to clock out. When I came back, the stranger was still here.

“Hey, I just wanted to thank you for giving me your time.” I nodded and walked to the door, holding it open for Daehyun. I noticed when he walked over, that he had a bit of a limp in his step. I looked at him confused and pointed towards his ankle.

“Oh this, don’t worry about it. I just jumped out of a window and landed wrong.” I widened my eyes and got down on my knees, pulling up his pant leg. His ankle looked a bit swollen and when I touched it, a quiet hiss left his mouth. I stood up and took his hand, walking towards my apartment.

“My hotel is actually the other way.” I shook my head and sent a friendly smile towards the stranger. “Uh… ok.” We were quiet the rest of way, which was fine with me since I didn’t talk anyways. It took longer than usual since Daehyun was walking rather slowly due to his injury. Before I knew it though, we were in the elevator heading up to the fifth floor.

“So… you live here?” I nodded, smiling towards the man as the elevator dinged. I turned my attention back to the doors opening, however; my smile dropped as soon as I saw my apartment door opened. Forgetting about Daehyun, I ran through the halls to my door and into my home. I dropped to my knees as I glanced around my room. My fridge door was opened and the contents all gone, same as the cabinets, and my laptop was gone too.

“Youngjae…? Oh dear.” I ignored the man, bowing my head in hurt. “Here, let me help.” I felt hands go under my arms to help me up, so I stood up. I glanced around the room one more time, this time spotting a sticky note on my coffee table. I slowly walked over and read the note.

I said not one peep Yoo Youngjae.

I felt my heart sank. I left so many months ago and he is still trying to control my life. How did he even know that I made a sound? It wasn’t even an hour ago that I made a gasping sound. I felt a dark shadow behind me, but I figured it was just Daehyun again.

“I’m guessing you know who did this.” I slowly nodded, wiping the escaping tears before looking for my whiteboard.

Sorry you had to see this. I wrote on the board and showed Daehyun.

“I’m a little glad that you made me come with you. I don’t want you to be alone right now.” I completely forgot why I had brought Daehyun here. I hastily made my way to the bathroom and found my first aid kit, returning to the living room and pushing Daehyun to sit on my sofa. I ran to the kitchen real quick and thanked the lords that my icepack was still in there. I came back to Daehyun and rolled his pant leg back up. I gently placed the pack on his ankle and used gauze to wrap the pack in place.

“Thank you Youngjae. I’ve only known you for a few minutes, but I can see you’re a sweet person. I’m sorry about what happened to you.” I shrugged, picking up the white board again so we could communicate.

My dad is just a controlling jerk.

“Mine is too, so I know how you feel.”

I’m sorry about all of this. He took my laptop and I can’t help you without one.

“Well, maybe I could help you out?” I looked over at Daehyun confused.

How so?

“I was thinking… I don’t really have a place to stay since I just moved here. If you let me stay here for a couple nights; I’ll buy a new laptop that you can use to help me. I’ll pay you four hundred dollars for it.” I widened my eyes.

Where are you getting all of this money?

“Does it matter? Do you want it or not?” I thought about it for only a second before smiling and nodding. I extended my hand out, shaking his and mouthing the world “deal.”
