// when yoongi had first left the gas station taehyung didn't think the man would ever leave his mind. he couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful he was. taehyung was practically obsessed with the way yoongi's black hair fell beautifully over his pale face. every night when he went to work he hoped that yoongi would show up to buy more snacks, even if he came in smelling like weed.

a little over a week after their first encounter taehyung has started to forget about yoongi. sure he was gorgeous, but taehyung had other things going on in his life. not only was he busy, but he was also trying to force yoongi out of his thoughts. "he's just a good looking stranger who i saw once. he came into where i work and thats it. its not like its a big deal or anything." taehyung told himself this every time the other man managed to sneak into his thoughts.

taehyung's attitude would have been completely different if he had known he was clouding yoongi's thoughts too.

yoongi couldn't stop thinking about thinking about the little brunette boy who worked behind the gas station cash register. the boy was absolutely adorable, he even told yoongi that he smelled like weed. just the thought of that moment was enough to make yoongi break into a fit of laughter. he had never met anyone who so bluntly confronted him about his drug use. yoongi didn't care that he was high when they met, he could still remember every single detail of the other boy's face. he just wished he would have gotten his name.

taehyung entered the gas station and waved goodbye to the worker who's shift had just ended. he took his usual behind the register and settled in to what he expected to be another long and boring shift. when he reached the point in the night where he could no longer keep his eyes open taehyung got up from his seat and began his normal routine. he restocked the shelves, flipped through tv channels, and even swept the floor. he hated sweeping the floor. when he finished and returned to his seat taehyung reached down to dig through the bag he brought with him. he pulled out a pair of glasses, which he slid onto his face, and the book he was currently reading. taehyung propped his feet up on the counter and began to read.

taehyung loved to read, so as soon as he opened the book he was hooked on the story. when he had a good book in front of him he was almost oblivious to everything that was happening around him. every so often he would look up from the novel to make sure no one had entered the store and was in need of help. he would scan the store before pushing up his glasses and returning to his story. 

tonight was an odd night. taehyung had not had one customer since his shift had begun. he wasn't complaining though, it gave him more time to do his own thing. this changed around four in the morning, when the bell on the door rang. //
