1. Encounter

-Ten-

   Ten awoke to the dinging of his alarm clock on his phone signaling it was time for him to wake up and head to work. Groaning he got up out of the comfort of his warm bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. He loved his job don't get him wrong, he got to help people and meet new or old customers everyday and he enjoyed it a lot, it was the waking up part that he hated. 

   But soon enough he was done getting ready and was picking out an outfit to wear. He decided blue skinny jeans a black graphic t shirt and a grey cardigan to go over it since it would be chilly outside by the time he got home since it was now autumn. After he was done he grabbed his wallet, phone and keys and headed out.

   He would usually walk to his job at the music store if his coworkers didn't give him rides, and today he was going just that. Putting in his ear phones and leaving his apartment he walked down a few blocks and enjoyed the way there to begin his day.

   Today had been a busy day, his friend Jungwoo wasn't there to assist so it was only him and Mark working today. "Yah Mark are you done unpacking the new albums that arrived?" Ten said walking over to his friend sitting on the floor texting in front of the albums display. "Yes I just finished" Mark said not even bothering to look up from his phone. "Mm okay then, anyways you can leave now since you finished a few minutes early, i'm closing tonight" Ten said ruffling the boys hair and walking away. 

   "Thank you Tennie!!" Mark said scrambling to his feet and running to the back room to get his things and soon leaving. Ten could only laugh, he was probably excited to see his boyfriend Jackson afterwards. Walking back behind the counter he decided to start locking up the cash register for the night since his shift ended at 7:30 and it was already 7 and no one would be coming in anytime soon. 

   "Almost ready to go Ten?" Bambam his manager said walking to him putting his jacket on. "Yeah I'm pretty tired, Jungwoo wasn't here to help with the register so it was a bit busy-" Ten said walking from behind the counter. "-But nothing I couldn't manage, anyways is Yugyeom picking you up?" "Yes he is, he got off work early today to drive me since he knows i'm tired, its been a busy week" Bambam said yawning and heading for the door. 

   "Remember to lock the store up Tennie, have a good night alright" The blonde male said smiling and bid farewell before leaving the store. Ten was ready to go home, so he grabbed the store keys and switched the sign from open to closed, and locked the front door. "Man I'm tired" Ten said and grabbed his phone slipping it into his pocket. He stretched his arms above his head and yawned, a soft jingle from his bracelet could be heard in the quiet store. 

    He soon had everything he needed, turned the lights out and headed to the back of the store to leave and go home. He was busy distracted trying to find his ear buds turning the corner onto the sidewalk, that he ended up running into someone. 

   "Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you sir" Ten said apologizing to the taller man. "Ah its no problem, its getting late though you shouldn't be out alone you know" the man said looking ten up and down for a few seconds. "I-im going home now so I'm not going to soon.." Ten said feeling uncomfortable by their stares and tried to walk away but had his path blocked. "I could give you a ride you know" they offered. "N-no thank you, I'll be going now-" Ten said trying to go around them but soon felt himself being pulled by the wrist. 

   "It's not nice to decline a kind persons offer pretty boy" The man said pulling Ten back into the alley. Ten was terrified, he had never been in this kind of situation and didn't know what to do. "Let go of me!" Ten yelled and tried to pull away already feeling himself on the verge of crying.
