Lone Wolf [yeonbin]

Chapter Four: Blue

It took Yeonjun almost three hours to arrive at the mall. The mansion's property was so big, it took forever for Yeonjun to get to the gates on foot. He even had to sneak past the two guards posted there, not wanting them to ask questions. When he reached the main road, an hour had already passed. Then he had to catch the bus to be able to even get to the mall, which took almost two hours. He didn't have a bike or anything and he didn't want to ask Junsu to drive him so he stayed quiet about leaving.

Sighing after a long journey, Yeonjun stepped off the bus and grabbed a map by the entrance to the mall. He looked for a hair salon and found one on the first floor that was close.

When he walked in, an employee greeted him with a cheery smile, "Hello, what can I help you with today?" She had bright green hair that was cut into a short bob and styled with bangs. She also had an intense makeup look on to go with her hair color, as well as piercings that adorned her ears. Although it looked like a lot to the average eye, it suited her well.

"Uhh, I want to get a haircut," Yeonjun hesitantly said. He never really went to hair salons and this one, in particular, looked fancy so it made him a tad bit nervous. He was just getting a haircut, but the atmosphere of the store was unfamiliar and made him slightly uncomfortable.

"Did you make an appointment for today?"

"Uh, no."

Was I supposed to? Aren't you suppose to just walk in?

"Okay, please wait one second," The employee walked behind the counter and started typing in some stuff on a computer.

"It doesn't seem like we have any other appointments today, so we can get you started right away," She smiles and gestures for Yeonjun to follow her. The salon was almost full with customers, save for two seats at the end. The store had marble walls lined with simple decorations and bright studio lights in front of every mirror, illuminating the place.

Yeonjun sat down and she lowered the seat before wrapping a hair apron around his neck, "You're quite lucky today," Yeonjun raised an eyebrow at her remark, "We normally are fully booked every day of the week with appointments for perms and hair dying which can take hours. So we can only accept a limited amount of appointments per day or we would never be able to finish. However, today we have a few spots left open!" She grinned and grabbed a wheeled tray filled with haircutting utensils.

"You grew out your hair pretty long. When was the last time you got it cut?" She asked while touching strands of Yeonjun's hair.

"Uhh, about a year ago? Maybe two? I don't really go to hair salons often," Yeonjun said, staring at himself in the mirror.

"I see. You have beautiful hair. Is it virgin?"

Yeonjun stared at her through the mirror, clearly confused by the question, "Uhhh."

"Oh, I meant have you dyed your hair before."

"Oh uh, no."

"Have you ever wanted to?"

Yeonjun raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you trying to get me to dye my hair?"

"Maybe?" She smiled cheekily, "Do you want to try? Of course, I'm not forcing you to."

Yeonjun contemplated for a few seconds. Should he? He looked back at the employee, her hair and earrings stand out even more in the studio lights, twinkling in the reflection of the mirror.

"Surprise me."

She clapped giddily, "I knew you'd say that!"

They started off by trimming Yeonjun's hair, making small talk in the process. "I'm Chaerin by the way."
