Chapter 2: I'm F.i.n.e (Feeling Insecure, Nervous , Embarrassed)
Sometimes, some of your most useless and lazy friends can turn out to be pretty useful. This applied to Haru's brother, Jeon Jungkook.
The guy had spent almost all of his life playing overwatch and league of legends. But still, by some miracle, he turned out to be good at whatever he did.In this instance, the guy actually helped Haru out of a sticky situation, that she had super-glued herself to.
He had made her turn on her GPS first, from which he tracked her IP address. Then, with her permission, he went to her room. He needed to search for the letter, that was sent to Haru, as it contained the address of the hotel.
She had reluctantly let him go to her room, suspicious that it was only a trick. Not wanting to offend her potential saviour, she kept quiet while imagining him finding her stash of cookies and chocolate, money, her embarrassing pictures..........After 5 painful minutes, he emerged with the address. Putting her location and the address on a map, he found her a new route to take. It turned out to be shortcut that led to the bus station. She memorized the route, for future use.

Eventually reaching the bus stop, she sat down on the bench next to a stranger. 10 minutes were still left until the bus arrived, and Haru thanked her lucky stars that she had not missed the last bus of the day.Brother:"Hey, are you there yet? Did you reach in time?"
She smiled at her brother's concern.
You:"Yes, Jungkook, Thank you for your help. I actually never knew that a person who can get 4/100 on their maths test, could be so intelligent"
Brother:"I am OfFeNdEd! I just saved your life, and that is how you repay me?"
You:"Come on kookie, i am only teasing you. But seriously, thank you for your help, brother."
(Contact name successfully changed!)
Jungkook pabo: " OH.MY.GOD! Did you just call me brother? Where is Haru? What have you done to her?"
You: "You just had to ruin the mood, didn't you -_-"
Jungkook pabo: "Anyways, i gotta go play overwatch now. I've already wasted a lot of time on you."
You: "wasted? WASTED? I hope you loose all of your in game currency! And your town hall gets destroyed!"
Jungkook pabo:"I am playing OVERWATCH, not Clash of clans, you dimwit. Bye."
You: "Whatever, bye."

After his first day at the new job, Kim Taehyung was exhausted. He heaved a deep sigh and sat down on the empty bench , waiting for the bus that would take him home.
His day sure was interesting. The guys had fallen from his bed, when his employer had called him. He had been selected for the job, and was further shocked to find out that he had to start working from today.
The cold air was nipping at his nose and stinging his eyes, so he pulled his cap over his face and closed his eyes. He regretted wearing thin clothes in this chilly weather. But these were his most fashion forward clothes and he had to wear something nice to impress his boss on the first day of work.
The thought of his first styling, for which he was scheduled in a week, made him nervous. Hopefully, he thought, this opportunity would prove fruitful for him, or else he would have come from Daegu to Seoul for nothing.
The boy chuckled while thinking about his situation. He was a 22 year old male with a computer engineering degree, living in Seoul to pursue..........Fashion designing.
His friends mocked him, and his mom nagged at him when he first expressed his desire to work as a fashion designer. But later, everyone supported him, as he was a really stubborn human being. He would get anything he set his eyes on, and would not stop until he did so.
He peeked around slightly to see if anyone had witnessed him chuckle to himself. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets when looking at the girl who was walking towards his bench.
She was really pretty. A cute heart shaped face, decorated with a button nose, rosy big lips, and voluminous black hair. What stood out the most were her eyes; they were hazelish green, somehow reminding him of spring.
Then he took in her clothes , a habit of his, as he judged people by their fashion sense. She was wearing a trendy cute top and jeans- sensible clothes in his opinion. She looked like a model.
A shudder ran down his spine when he remembered Sooyeon, a model i'm his department. She was also pretty, but when she opened her mouth all hell broke loose. Her cute acting and flirty attitude had traumatized the poor boy, so to avoid the pretty girl next to him, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The guy next to Haru suddenly shivered and she turned to her side to look at what happened. And of course he would shiver, she thought, looking at his clothes.
What made her do a double take, however, was the amount of rips his clothing had. There were rips literally all over his clothes. The knees and thighs of his jeans, his shirt's stomach area, near the collar, heck, even the arms had rips and slits.
He looked like either he had just run away from gangsters, or he was homeless. By the way he was calmly napping, she assumed it must be the latter.
She fished for change, and while getting up, dropped it onto his lap. The guy, unaware of Haru's thoughts and deed, was startled. He pulled his cap up, then looked at his lap. Thinking, while looking at the coins in his lap,that she was pranking him , he looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"I am sorry, this is the only spare change i currently have."
Looking at how genuine she was, Taehyung didn't know whether to be angry or amused. Grabbing the change, he got up and asked, "Do i look like a homeless beggar to you?"
"Wait, you are not homeless?" She questioned the guy, seeing his offended expression. Realization dawned on her.
"I am sorry, i assumed you were. You know, your clothes and all......." She trailed off.
At the insult of his clothes, he scoffed. "This is fashion". He pushed the change back in her hands.
Further embarrassed, she exclaimed " I apologize for my mistake, i am really sorry!"
The bus honked and Haru thanked her lucky stars that she was saved from further embarrassment. "Oh look, the bus is here! Good day mister."
With that said, she quickly slid inside the bus, while an amused Taehyung went in after her.
***
The old lady next to Haru looked at her in concern. The girl was red, and kept wincing. Probably due to pain, she must have a fever, the woman thought. When in fact Haru was wincing while remembering how she made a fool out of herself.
"Are you alright, dear? You look sick. Do you need medicine?"
" No no, ahjumma! I'm fine. But thank you for asking."
