Next Day

As Taehyung woke up to the beautiful scenery outside his window, memories of his father haunted him. His father was an amazing man, he loved Taehyung as if he was his own. His real father died when he was 8 months old, so he doesn't have any memory of him at all. Now, his step father is an overseas worker in Singapore.

Taehyung took a bath, grabbed his lucky charm (his pair of black vans), and wore his suit. Just then, when he was about to leave, Jimin gave him some inspirational words for his first day of work.

"Goodluck Hyung! Saranghaeyo!" Jimin quietly said.

"Aigoo. Thank you Jimin-ah! I love you too," Taehyung muttered as he patted Jimin's head.

"You can do it Tae Tae!! Just do your very best!" Taehyung whispered to himself.

He got in the bus and sat there enjoying the view. He looked like a beautiful painting. But then, a man wearing a neon yellow polo and carnation pants with matching expanders came in the bus like some nerd you see in school. He was carrying a blue suitcase that looked like it was going to explode anytime soon.

"This guy got no jams. No style. And probably no friends too," Taehyung thought.

"U-uh excuse me," the man said as he poked Taehyung's arm.

"Yes? Do you need something? Like maybe some fashion sense?" Taehyung chuckled.

"Uh—no, t-the thing is...uhmmm...can I sit next to you?"

"HAH! You wish," Taehyung whispered.

"E-eh? I'm s-sorry?"

"Yeah, sure." Taehyung smirked.

Taehyung was about to get off. His sorrow was about to end. Well, that's at least what he thought. They were apparently headed to the same place. They got off the bus like complete strangers who never spoke.

It somehow seemed like the weird guy was following him. Taehyung suddenly got goosebumps all over.

Taehyung's POV

Why is this nerd following me? Is this a new scam? Hmmm...but he looks so innocent. What should I do? Run? Ahh no. Should I shout "save me"? Should I let him ruin this important day? No, not today. I should just leave him alone. Oh no! I'm late for work!
___________________________

When I arrived, the orientation has already started. I can't believe I'm 30 minutes late just because of some weirdo who followed me. Oh, what if he followed me until here? What exactly does he want from me?

Weirdo's POV

I really hope I won't end up being late for work, again. This is the biggest PR company in the country and I didn't even get in because of my own skills, so I really have to do my best!

I took a long shower. Scrubing myself really hard, making sure there's not a single dirt seen on me. It took me some time to decide on what to wear, but eventually, I ended up wearing something that only fashion models would wear! After getting dressed, I fixed all the necessities I needed like earphones, charger, tissue, wet wipes, jacket, sleeping bag, toiletries, extra clothes,etc.

I ran to the bus station. Btw, it's really really far! Took me 20 minutes just to run there. I got in the bus and felt so exhausted, I looked for a vacant seat, but only one was available, a man that was prettier than a lady sat there, like one of my favorite paintings. I gazed at him. OH NO I THINK HE SAW ME! I looked away as soon as he glared at me. I gathered up my courage and asked if I could sit next to him for I was very tired.

"U-uh excuse me,"

"Yes? Do you need something? Like maybe some fashion sense?"

He must be in a bad mood. Oh no! What should I do? Did he say that because he's concerned that I might be bullied by others? But I feel so drained right now.

"Uh—no, t-the thing is...uhmmm...can I sit next to you?"

"Hsiebagkaajabfaja"

What did he say? I was so distracted. He must be irritated.

"E-eh? I'm s-sorry?"

"Yeah, sure."

Wow! He's so nice! Oh, I'm here! Woah, he's going off to! What kind of fate is this? Is he perhaps following me? No, no I don't think so. Sigh! JEON JUNGKOOK WHY ARE YOU SO ASSUMING!
