Mild cursing

---------  

Honestly you had a thing against answering random numbers that called your phone, but for some reason, today you felt the need to accept the call. It didn't help when the thought of you throwing your phone number at some random man you didn't even know appeared in your head. You groaned at the memory, not at all happy with the way you had dealt with things. So you answered, "Hello?" No response. So you tried again. "Hello?" Then you finally got a response.

"Is this (Y/N)?"

"Might I ask who is this?"

"Maybe I'm the guy you threw your number at." You muttered the words oh shit, not having expected him to pick up your number, let alone contact you.

"Uh, I guess since you're calling, there's something that I can do for you?"

"If you're free and willing to, just come to coffee with me one morning."

"Only once? You saved my life, I was expecting, I don't know, me taking you to a fancy restaurant or something, not just a morning coffee run?"

"If I enjoy it or see you as helpful, if it makes you happy you can come more than once. But the coffee isn't only for myself."

"How many others are there?"

"17. Not all of them actually drink coffee though, and I'm not about to order 17 different drinks. Talk about a troublesome morning."

"Wow, uh, that unexpected. Which coffee shop and what time though?"

"You can pick the coffee shop, but how about 9:30? Is that too early or too late?"

"Well, I don't even know your name, so that might be helpful."

"Taeyong."

"Huh?"

"That's my name, Taeyong."

"Oh wow, okay, I wasn't actually thinking you'd give me your name."

"I'm forcing you to go to coffee with me to help me get coffee for who knows how many other men, it's the least I could do."

"You could have just denied me, like you did earlier when I asked if I could do anything for you."

"Still annoyed about that?"

"I wonder why. Totally not because some random man off the streets had just saved my life, and then was trying to provoke me. That totally didn't happen. To make it better, when I got to work I heard I was losing my job due to the company being shut down, which means I won't have money to pay for rent soon. Good thing I was smart enough to save up years ago or I'd be royally fucked."

"Uh, if you need to save money we can wait for another time for the coffee run?"

"Nope, you asked, I'll deliver. I have enough for a few months anyway, I should be able to find a new job in time before I run out."

"Okay."

"Wait did I just blab my life story to some guy that I've probably already pissed off due to me forcing him to think of something I can do for him."

"You did."

"Oh my god I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking, and I just needed someone to rant to."

"Don't you have friends?"

"They're all off doing god knows what."

"Great. After the coffee run you don't have to help me bring the coffees back, I've been doing it for years. I can manage if you want to go look for a job or something."

"As much as I'd love to, no. I'll be helping you, as long as that doesn't bother you more."

"Suit yourself. Just be there by the time I said so we can get it done as quickly as possible."

He then hung up, causing you to groan. You barely knew the man but yet you were forcing your way into his life. Imagining how annoying it would be from his point of view, you just sighed. It was too late now anyway, probably the only way of backing out was some major life changing event, but you weren't counting on it. Especially with the way your life was currently going. Now let's just hope you could manage to keep your sanity until you were done with the stupid coffee run, especially since you had already pissed the guy off.
