Mid-day
As soon as walk through the ice cream parlour doors, he is encountered by an one annoyed Namjoon clearly not happy with what Jeongguk pulled off yesterday.
"Gukie, you are a real jerk. You left me here yesterday." Namjoon confronts.
"Whatever Namjoon." Jeongguk replies, not in the mood to deal with Namjoon, since he too was annoyed about yesterday.
"No, come here fuckwit." Namjoon spits, grabbing Jeongguk by the scruffs, pulling him close to scare him.
But Jeongguk stands they emotionless staring into Namjoon's eyes.
"You will never get away with that ever again." Namjoon breathes angrily.
"Namjoon, let go." Taehyung says, grabbing the back of Namjoon's shirt and pulling him off Jeongguk.
"Leave him alone and go serve that customer." Taehyung commands, pointing to the woman waiting by the counter, ready to order.
Namjoon sighs, rolling his eyes and walking behind the counter, "What would you like?"
"Are you alright?" Taehyung asks Jeongguk who was standing looking a little bothered.
"I'm fine." Jeongguk says with attitude, pushing past Taehyung and walking to the change rooms.
-
Jeongguk walks back out of the change room and Taehyung was already there waiting for him.
"Listen, Jeongguk, about yesterday, I--"
"Just- forget about it okay? Nothing happened, okay?" Jeongguk interrupts walking off after his statement.
He goes behind the counter, starting to make a fruit smoothie for one of the customers.
-
It was now Jeongguk's break and his sits down by an empty table, placing a plain yogurt down, starting to eat it.
Taehyung sees him, sitting down in front of him keenly.
Jeongguk looks up at Taehyung strangely, placing a scoop in his mouth.
(awkward silence and staring)
"I had a lot of fun the other night." Taehyung grins, resting his fist under his chin.
He watches as Jeongguk had a spot of yogurt on the corner of his mouth,
"You got a little--" Taehyung starts, licking his finger and reaching out for Jeongguk's mouth, ready to wipe the yogurt off the corner of his lip.
Before Taehyung could reach his mouth, Jeongguk wacks his hand out of his face angrily.
"What is your problem?!" Taehyung shouts unexpectedly, standing up, all the people in the shop looking his way.
"What did I do? And why do you keep acting like this? Come on, let's talk." Taehyung raises his voice.
Jeongguk looks around at the staring faces, rolling his eyes and walking away from Taehyung, heading to the locker room.
Taehyung follows.
"Why are you in here?" Taehyung questions.
"Whats up Gukie? You've been acting off ever since yesterday."
"Just go hyung, I'm getting changed." Jeongguk defends, opening up his locker.
"But your shift hasn't ended yet." Taehyung states.
"Well, I don't feel well." Jeongguk lies.
Taehyung shuts the door behind them for privacy.
"Hyung, what are you doing?" Jeongguk complains.
"I know you're not sick. Tell me what happened, Gukie." Taehyung insists.
Jeongguk stays silent, deciding not to reply.
"Is it because of yesterday? Because my friends are rude? Because you thought I was different?"
(Silence)
"Or Is it because of Namjoon?"
(...)
"Meet me at the park at 10. Tonight."
Before Jeongguk could respond, Taehyung leaves the locker room as well as the ice cream parlour itself.
He wondered if he should meet Taehyung. He knew exactly what park Taehyung was talking about, it was the closest to Jeongguk's house.
