Death Threat

Jeno's POV

"Why am I here with you again?"

"It's because you owe me. Also.. you really weren't kidding about looking lowkey."

"Of course, I don't want to embarrass myself."
I was wearing all black, from my hoodie to my shoes, along with the hat I had under the hood and the mask to hide my face.

"You look like a pervert. Just stay away from the little kids, you might get arrested."

I sighed and followed behind the boy who was walking to the ticket counter. A familiar figure was restocking the popcorn machine and Renjun nudged me forward.

"Talk to him."

"How?"

"Use your gayass mouth, how else?"

"That doesn't sound right, but okay."
I took a deep breath in and cleared my throat.

"Uh.. ᵉˣᶜᵘˢᵉ ᵐᵉ?"

"Pathetic."

I glared at Renjun before I tried to call out the boy once again.

"Excuse me?"
I didn't realise I was reaching out too far forward while leaning on the counter when the boy turned around, my hand was right infront of him.

"Sorry."
I quickly retreated my hand and elbowed the boy, with a lot of force, who was chuckling beside me. I heard a groan and turned back forward in victory.

The boy infront of me, Jaemin, had his eyebrows raised as he glanced back and forth between me and Renjun.

"Can I help you?"

"Oh, um.. can I get two tickets for My Little Pony?"

"Alright."
He looked at me suspiciously before asking us to choose our seats and our popcorn flavours and then went to get our orders, similar to yesterday's.

"See? He thinks you're a pervert too. You should have dressed up cutely."

"I am not wearing the bunny onsie if that's where you're getting at."

"I think he'll like it."

"You think so--? Wait. Shut up, don't sabotage me."

"Can I see your ID?
I turned back towards the voice and saw Jaemin frowning.

I quickly dug into my pockets to scavenge for my wallet and handed it to him almost immediately.

The serious look on his face dropped and he looked up at me, wide-eyed. His eyes travelled back to the card and then back to me.

"You're the boy from yesterday?"

I gulped at the way he seemed to be checking me out and nodded my head.
He handed my card back to me and sat back down on his chair.

"Then, I guess it's alright."
He waved at us before looking back down at his phone.
"Have a nice day."

I grabbed Renjun's arm and dragged him away from counter as he shook his head in disappointment.

"You couldn't even hold a conversation with him."

"That's because he's working."

"Then.. ask him when he gets off of work and offer him a ride or something, damn."

"He'll think I'm a kidnapper."

"That's your outfit-of-the-day's fault. Lose the mask and the hat and I think you'll be fine."

I glanced back at Jaemin, who was leaning forward on his chair, still looking down at his phone.

I removed my mask along with the hood, and held onto the hat as I walked over to him.
I stood infront of the counter, forgetting what I was going to ask and ended up looking like an idiot.

"Yes?"
He leaned back as he stretched and placed his phone onto the counter.
"Do you need something?"

"Yeah.."
I looked around, trying to find something to say. My gaze fell onto my hat and without thinking, I handed it to him.

"For me?"
He reached out to it slowly, confused at where I was going with this, but accepted it when I nodded my head.

"Thanks."
He placed it backwards on his head before resting his elbows on the counter. He grinned, probably aware of how hard I was panicking.
"So, what are you bribing me for?"

"Your number."
