Always and Forever (Showki fanfic)

Ch.14: Trapped (Part 1)

A/N: I need to stop writing Kiho chapters....

Hyunwoo

~lunch rush~

"It seems like there will be obstacles to overcome...," I mumbled as I chopped up some vegetables for the salads. 

"What did you say, Hyunwoo ssi," asked Jin.

"Huh? Oh, I was just talking to myself."

"Okay... if you need something, you can always ask Hyung," he says before turning back to his own station. I nodded and aimlessly cut the vegetables. Kihyun walks over to check on how I was doing.

"Hyunwoo ssi, look at this mess," he says. I looked down and saw that lettuce was thinly sliced, the tomatoes was just chopped in half,  red onions were diced, and cucumbers were cut into chunks.

"Ahh, shit," I said under my breath.

"Shit indeed. Mingyu, looks like we are going to make coleslaw instead of salad," he shouts. Mingyu just sighs and nodded. Kihyun walks away to look at the new orders that Minhyuk brought in.

"Great going, Hyunwoo. Making mistakes will get him to like you," I thought to myself before prepping the vegetables to make coleslaw instead. 

~closing time~

One by one, the other chefs left after cleaning their stations. Hyungwon was going to stay behind but mutter something about having to feed a dog. Kihyun stayed behind to double check everything was clean and to do inventory. He puts a pencil behind his ear, and grabbed a notepad before walking into the fridge. He did not seem to notice me standing behind him as he counted the apples. I shrugged off my jacket and draped it over him as he was shivering from the cold. Kihyun stills and then turns around.

"Why are you still here," he asks with annoyance hanging in his voice.

"Well, I just did not think you should be here alone," I said with a shrug. 

"It's okay. You can go. I do this on a regular basis," he says as he counted how many heads of lettuce were left.

"But..."

"No buts."

"You sure?"

"Totally. Now, scat you muscle bound rock."

"Fine. Wait, I want to see that you put on the jacket first."

He looks back at me, made a sour face, and put it on reluctantly. The jacket was so close to reaching his knees which made him look so cute.

"Don't you dare...," he says flatly.

"Dare to do what?"

"You already know what."

"Oh, really?"

"Well, I wore it now so now go. You are bothering me."

"Yes sir," I said and went to open the door, but it won't budge. Trying again, I used more strength to open it. "That's weird."

"What is?"

"The door won't open."

"WHAT?! NO FUCKING WAY!"

"I'm serious," I grunted as I tried to open the door again.

"Step aside. Let me try," he says.

"You?"

Kihyun tries to open the door but could not open it. "Do you have your phone? I left mine outside."

"Yeah," I said and took it out from my pocket. I pressed the home button, but the screen didn't light up. "Oh shit, I totally forgot to charge it at the gym..."

"?!?! Great going! Now, we are stuck in here until someone comes..."
