"I beg your pardon?"
Yeonjun almost laughed at the confused boranette. His doe eyes were big and his lips were parted slightly. It reminded him of something, but he can't quite put a finger on it.
"I overheard your conversation with reddy over there and thought you needed a ride to the forest."
"You know it's impolite to eavesdrop, right?"
The taller male was now frowning, his eyebrows arched in an annoyed manner. Yeonjun finally let out a chuckle. He took a glance at the workers name tag and read 'Choi Soobin'
"I'm sorry for eavesdropping then, Soobin."
"How do you know my name? Are you a stalker!?" Soobin accused with a horrid expression.
Yeonjun couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You're a worker, Soobin. You have a name tag."
Instinctively, Soobin touched his left chest, feeling the sharp edges of his name tag. Once again, Yeonjun chuckled. This man was adorable when he's flustered like this.
"So, what do you say? I won't charge you for anything," Yeonjun persuaded, placing his things into a plastic bag.
Before Soobin could say anything, his co-worker came. "What's all the commotion about?" He glared at Yeonjun who gave a small smile in return.
"This weirdo wants to kidnap me."
Yeonjun glared at Soobin. "I never said that," he snapped. Soobin glared back, only this time with a pout. "You said you wanted to bring me to the forest."
"I only offered you a ride, kid," Yeonjun face palmed mentally.
"Okay that's fishy. You've payed and have no more business here so get out," the read head barked.
"Gee, calm down will ya," Yeonjun huffed, glancing at the red head's name tag.
Kang Taehyun? That rings a bell.
"What about this. Since I'm hungry as fuck and this ramen won't make itself, how about we talk outside?"
And outside they were. Soobin was sitting awkwardly beside the glaring Taehyun. Meanwhile Yeonjun was slurping away, not really caring that there are two human beings waiting for him to speak up.
"Are you gonna start explaining?" Taehyun impatiently tapped the table. Yeonjun looked up from his ramen cup. Slurping the last strand of noodle, he cleared his throat then wiped his lips before leaning back on the plastic chair.
"So, I'm on my way to the forest and if I heard correctlyㅡand accidentallyㅡSoobin here also wants to go there. However he doesn't have the appropriate accommodation for that. Me, being a very nice person, is offering him a ride. Dont worry, I won't do any harm to him nor charge him a single penny."
Taehyun stared skeptically at the azurette. I mean, who wouldn't?
A stranger turns up at your convenience store and suddenly ask your coworker to run away with him? If that ain't fishy.
"Can we trust you?" Soobin asked. His eyes were still huge. Either excited or terrified, Yeonjun couldn't pinpoint exactly what the boranette was thinking.
Yeonjun nodded as an answer. "Taehyun could call you every minutes if necessary. Just to make sure I don't do anythingㅡwhich I guarantee would never do."
Soobin and Taehyun shared a glance. The red head turned towards Yeonjun with the same skeptical expression.
"What benefit would Soobin get?" He asked.
"Obviously he would arrive at his destination. He could also get a new car if he desires, I dont know."
Soobin lit up at the idea. "You'll buy me a car?"
Yeonjun chuckled. "No, but you'll get my car."
To be honest, Yeonjun didn't really understand why he did this. His main goal of running away to this island was to get rid of any ties he had. However, here he is, persuading a stranger to ride his car.
Well, this one would be okay. All he had to do is just get him to the forest, do his business, then the male could drive home safely. Simple, no ties, right?
[ 💚 ]
Yeah you could probably guess stuff now, right?
