"so, what are we gonna do now?" , yujin asked him. he had no clue what to do either. her questioning stare didn't help him to think, in reality, he couldn't think of anything. it was like one of these long short moments, the ones that make you feel like they're hours long, but after they passed you realize that it was only a matter-of-seconds-experience that fade away until there is just an image left that you would remember and not a sense of time.

they walked at slow speed and didn't really care about why they were walking together, it wasn't like they chatted or anything. it was rather a calming silence than an awkward hole of lacking conversation.

"uhm..", yujin slowed her walking down to a speed that would've made any tourist mad, luckily they were at a place where there wasn't any person around that could get mad.

"what is it?", taehyung turned a few degrees to look at her.

"you know, about the, the accident, the one that happened a few weeks ago, like, where, where you helped me calm down in like that one street?... if you can't remember then thats fine too i mean... uhm.. so like, to thank you, i would, like, like to treat you for lunch or dinner, if you'd like...", yujin looked at her feet.

taehyung didn't want to sound like a bad person, but he was pretty glad about that invite, because he didn't want to go home too soon due to his father.

"ah, thank you so much.... where though?"

"kfc?"

"oh my god, we're or at least i am going to be obese at the end of the day." yujin laughed. he smiled.

7:00PM;

he was full; to the point where he wanted to puke, but he didn't, he was one hundred percent satisfied, and yujin kept her promise, she bought everything he chose, and the bill was really something else , it rather looked like they drove over a tent and had to rebuild it with money.

"50.000 won? i shouldn't have a agreed to any of this." yujin was visibly aching when she pulled out her credit card.

"your menu was more expensive than mine plus you took a chicken bucket for two people too, because, i quote, 'i'm gonna be the safest if a zombie apocalypse starts tomorrow'." taehyung defended.

"yes that is true, i'm gonna be safe when the virus breaks out, you will only be full for today, but i will be full for tomorrow and maybe also the day after too, if my fruit runs out." yujin argued.

yujin had a car, and they walked to it, her in the front seat, taehyung in the passenger's one.

"where do you live?", yujin asked.

he started panicking.

"that's not that good of an idea."

"why?"

"because my father basically threw me out and basically forced me to sleep the night away on the streets", he didn't care about saying too much, what would that do anyways?

"really? like, last night?"

"yeah."

"oh fuck that, so that's why you got that backpack with you."

"yes."

"i would let you come to my home but i don't think that it's all my decision."

"do you live with your parents?"

"not really. it's rather like a building split into different apartments where my parents live in too, but in a different apartment."

"so what's the problem there?"

a heavy breath. he decided to not dig further into it since he hated the feeling of being pushed to an answer himself.

8:02PM;

they were driving to yujin's home, he could tell, there were a lot of apartment buildings and well, he didn't quite know the way.

"arrived at destination." yujin imitated the google maps lady. she opened her door, pulled the car key out, which gave taehyung the sign that he could get out now too.

"i swear to fucking god, please, please be as quiet as you can, imagine someone lights up a bomb when you give a sound."

they successfully arrived in her apartment and they both sighed.

"okay, first, take a shower you literally slept on the streets."

"on a bank and only for twenty minutes to be exact."

"take a hot one", she gestured her hand to the bathroom, where he went.
