I worked at my uncle's office supplies shop. You know like I sold papers, pens, inks for printers, sketchbooks, crayons... stuff like that. It was a part-time job since I was still a student. I worked everyday, except on week-ends, after school.
School has ended. I went to the shop. My uncle wasn't here. I looked for him around in the shop. I saw a note left on a table. It said '_______. I am very busy. I have an important meeting today! I won't be at the shop today and I don't know, maybe for the whole week and who knows month! I'll tell you more tonight! Bye, I love you~~ Take care of the shop. Your lovely uncle.'
So, to summarize, I was now all alone in a shop. This uncle... He is a bit childish and unresponsible, but he can be very strict sometimes. Some customers came in and they bought some stuff. I tried to advise them a little. Then, I arrange some articles and clean the shop. I swept the floor but my phone rang. I ran to get it and answered it, it was my uncle.
"Yobeoseyo?" I said.
"Yobeoseyo? Is it _______ ?" Wait, wait. It is not my uncle's voice.
"Y-yes, it is. Who is it? You're not my uncle." Someone else called me with my uncle's phone... Ew.
"I am your uncle's friend's son. He tells me to tell you to come home earlier." His voice is so sweet.
"Oh. Really? When?"
"Right now."
"R-right now? Euhm. Ok. I am coming. You're at my uncle's house, right?"
"Yes. I'll see you later~ Bye~" I hang up.
I closed the main door and switched off all the lights of the shop. I took my purse and went out of the shop. I walked to my uncle's flat since it was not too far away. I walked in the building and rang at the door. My uncle opened the door.
"Oh. ______. Come in."
I came in and looked for the guy I heard on the phone. He wasn't in the living room. I sat on a couch and my uncle brought me a mug. It was a hot chocolate. He put down another hot chocolate and he had a mug in his hand, it must be tea. The other chocolate had to be for the guy, but I didn't know where he was...
"I am sorry for letting you the shop like that, it was unexpected." My uncle said after taking a sip of his drink.
"Aniyo, it is ok. I understand. But why do you want me to come here earlier?"
"Ah. I wanted to introduce you someone."
"Is it the guy I heard on the phone? The son of your friend?"
"Yes, it is him. YIXING! Come here!" My uncle shouted. So his name is Yixing?
"Yes! I am coming!" He came from the kitchen with an apron around his waist.
"Sit down. We have to talk." He sat besides me and smiled at me. I could see his dimples.
"Hello. I am Yixing. Nice to meet you."
"Me too. I am ________. Uncle, what do we have to talk about?"
"You know, I have many meetings lately. I will also have to travel overseas."
"Overseas? Where? When? How long?"
"I don't know how long, but I will go tomorrow to China, Japan, Malaysia and the USA."
"Oh... So you are telling me that I will be alone in the shop for a long time?"
"No, I won't do that to my lovely niece. Yixing will work with you!" W-What?!
