our treasure - ateez

nine

third person; an min-ju  {alternate universe}

swiftly walking towards her usual meeting spot with her friends, min-ju seemed slightly more smiley than she usually did. it could be for many reasons. it was mainly because over the weekend she had gotten closer to her new friends seonghwa, jongho and hongjoong as well as talking things out with kwang-sun.

she was in a happy mood as she always seemed to be, forgetting that as soon as she went back to her universe she would have to deal with school and all the drama that came with it.

the usual morning shuffle of people could be heard around the town of naporia causing min-ju to get lost in her thoughts as the hustle of people was good background noise. she kept walking along admiring the view as she went. 

currently in this universe there were two moons orbiting the planet that they were on. no one knew the name of the planet, most people only knew the name of their towns as nobody ever seemed to leave. 

if you did leave your town it was most likely that you had either been chased out by the biggest gang there, or the town had been invaded by the creatures in the surrounding areas. currently the gangs kept control of the creatures and there weren't many harmful ones nearby.

min-ju kept walking seeing the cafe come into view and checked her wrist watch showing the time to be 9:26am. she seemed to be super early again today. hopefully something interesting would be going on in the cafe to pass the time.

as she was checking her watch she seemed to miss someone walking directly towards her who was also not looking where they were walking. they collided causing min-ju to fall to the floor with a quiet grunt.

"oh, I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going!" a voice said from above. min-ju brushed herself off slightly before looking up to see a hand being offered out towards her. 

"it's okay, I wasn't either." she replied looking up to see the face of the person that she had ran into. she was surprised to find that it was a member of a gang. as to be told by their masked appearance. 

however it wasn't the familiar black mask of ateez or the deep indigo of the nameless. these masks where a soft baby blue in colour, accompanied by a mostly white and light cream outfit. she quickly put two and two together and released that this must be a member of the invisibles gang.

"ah, sorry it seems rude for me to leave this mask on when talking." the voice in front of her said, noticing her slight staring, before pulling down his mask to reveal a small smile with slight dimples in his cheeks. "I'm moon jae-hwa!" he spat enthusiastically stretching an arm out for min-ju to shake.

"nice to meet you," min-ju replied, "I'm an min-ju!" min-ju said also looking equally as enthusiastic. she recognised the name from somewhere but shrugged it off, marking it as nothing.

"hey Jae-hwa we should probably get back who knows what seokjin and seungcheol could get up to while we're gone." another face cam around the corner, however he was not wearing a mask. he stopped looking at the interaction in surprise before also stretching his hand out to min-ju.

"I'm park young-shik, Jae-hwa's partner in crime." he said this with a small wink at the end before smiling widely. min-ju took his hand and shook it before also saying her name back to the two males. they talked for a few minutes more before something seemed to beep on the males.

"ah, we should go it's almost 10." young-shik said looking at his watch with crinkled eyebrows, almost as if he was thinking. or trying really hard to read the time. they said swift goodbyes before rushing off away from where they were previously stood.
