Gangsta's Ray Of Sunshine // BounPrem

02: Work

After his clashed with the junior shorty boun never saw him again around campus, maybe because he's been absent for two days already or always late and somehow he can't let that junior out of his mind, he smiled at the memory of the younger sassily talking back to him when he snapped back to reality due to work "Alright, since you have delivered it all successfully you get a bonus pay" the man in his mid thirties with a beard who dresses untidily exclaims but boun knows it was a bluff and he knows better than to expect something out of this dirty work. He shouldn't be doing it in the first place but he is because he was left with no choice.

"Nah. you kidding boss, that's the bonus payment for my dad's debt right?" Boun says in response, playing it cool but in his mind he had murdered the old man twenty times in twenty different ways— he will get out of that hell hole once he graduates. He has plans for his life, he won't be like his father, he's too smart to settle for less and illegal.

"No, im serious kid. This is for you. You've been absent from school for two days and don't deny it i know why. You can ask for help boun, the gang is here to help and besides i wouldn't want to break my promise to your father." The old man says in response, pity visible in his eyes. His father's gang isn't so bad if he would speak with no prejudice but then again everything is just so bad and illegal on top of that. However, a struggling teen ager who's father is behind bars for almost six years already doesn't really have a choice but to swallow his innocence and pay his father's remaining debts or else he will be haunted and god knows how bad those type of people can get.

Boun doesn't like the idea of feeding himself using the money he earned in illegal ways, he's a drug delivery guy and who knows what he can still get himself into if he doesn't pay all the debts in time before graduating from high school.

"You didn't need to bother old man, im fine i got a part time job on a convenience store too so yea it's all good" Boun says convincing the old man

"Just accept it Boun, i know you hate this and trust me we all do but none of us are privileged enough to live in something acceptable. I promise you, I will help you get out of here, trust me. I already payed Mr. Wang don't worry about it, you focus on school okay?" The old man says arms still on boun's shoulder, comforting him.

His father's best friend, his uncle noah— his old man has been more like of a father than his biological father. Noah never treated him badly, he was always soft when it comes to Boun but Boun never really broke down his walls. Boun build them so high and firm its almost impossible to break them. "Alright. I'll take that advice. Thanks Uncle Noah"

"You.. you called me uncle noah again!"

The old man was so happy to hear boun say that again he can't contain himself but smile ear to ear. "Before you go, here take this" Noah says throwing keys to Boun

"What's this?"

"Your key to your new motorcycle"

"You're kidding!"

Boun saw the black matte big motorcycle, though he would've gone for a car its cool to have a motocross "That's yours and also by next week you will be in charge of everything. I have to go to beijing there's a new product developed there. Make sure all orders are delivered on time okay? Here's the list and this phone is the contact and that" Noah explains everything to him though Boun wants to say no to the offer he can't really do that since no one in the gang is quite smart enough when it comes to business according to his old man.

Boun drives separating ways from his Unlce Noah around eleven o'clock and he thought of stopping by seven eleven to grab some food he haven't really had dinner yet and lunch. His stomach growls in hunger, he went inside grabbing a few juices, can foods and tons of ramen and a bag of Lay chips when he also felt another pair of hands on them "this is mine!" Boun exclaims grabbing the chips "i saw it first!" says the boy

'oh no boun its shorty'

'give him the chips his too cute for that pout'

'but im hungry'

'give him a good impression self. do it!'

Boun was clearly having a debate with himself and he immediately gives in "Whatever, fine its yours" He says giving the shorty his Lays "Your that senior who smoked in the restroom, right?"

Boun was silent because shorty remembered him. that's an achievement except he was remembered for something bad "Well yeah but its been a bad habit. hard to quit you know" Boun explains as he busies himself looking for other chips

"Well.. Im not judging you, Im sorry by the way if i acted like that last time i was not just in my best mood by the way my name's Prem" Prem says as he extend his free hand and Boun looked at him and then his hands then back to him "Hey! that's rude! why are you just staring at it?" Prem exclaims sulky "I.. im supposed to shake your hand?" Boun asks dumbly because if he's being honest this is the farthest good and kind action he saw let alone from someone he doesn't really know "Yeah.. wait.. oh my god are you an introvert? is that why you don't talk much? I heard you only have two friends in school, and oh you have pretty bad rumors around too and i know too that" Prem stops talking as he saw the older already on the cashier

"You're talkative i like that. Keep talking." Boun says before flashing his signature smile and Prem swore, its the prettiest and god did he mention how hot his senior is putting on that helmet? "If you keep staring i might melt"
