Hello (IZ*ONE Yena x M!Reader)

Chapter 16

Yena and Seonghyeon are on the car ride and are silent to each other. Seonghyeon feels awkward and he turns on the song in low volume.

"Noona. Just... Where have you been all this time?" Seonghyeon said breaking the silence.

"I was out there... doing my job."

"Job? I saw you one time during a traffic light stop. You were carrying a huge plastic bag."

"I... was collecting trash as a job." Seonghyeon lets out a sigh.

"How many times noona. How many times I've told you that you have to always think of your decision and outcomes. Look what happened to you now."

"Gosh, you're still the same. Always blabbering a lot."

"I'm blabbering because I care about you. I love you noona. You're the only cousin I could talk to and hang out with. Every single nag I said is for your good."

"I know. I'm really sorry. I know just by saying sorry won't fix it all. But things happen. And we have to learn from our mistakes."

"Aigoo... I wish you would've known that before you became like this."

"I know right. Why didn't I notice this earlier? It's too late though."

"Where do you live noona?"

"Well, I used to live in a box."

"Do you think it's a time for a joke?"

"I'm being serious right now. It was very tough. I had a grandma that took care of me the night after I got kicked out of the house."

"Grandma?"

"Thanks to her, I finally realized the meaning of being grateful, thankful, and all other things. I learned a lot from her advice."

"She must be a great person."

"She's truly was an amazing person. I wonder if she's doing great up there." She looks to the night sky from the window of the car.

Seonghyeon felt bad for her and just pat her thigh.

"You know, that's my erogenous zone."

"AH NOONA!!" Seonghyeon wipes his hand rapidly on his thighs while Yena laughs.

"Gosh, you're making me disgusted."

"Disgusted? Or horny?"

"Noona, I'm being very serious right now. You want us to crash in the middle of the road?"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry I'm sorry. I was just joking." He lets out a sigh.

"By the way, where's your box house?"

"Actually... I had to move out from there since I got this job."

"Huh?"

"I'll explain it in short sentences. So I saved Chairman Cha from being hit by a car. He offered me a job and I accept it a few days after. I didn't have any money but he said he'll cover all of it. And here I am. Brand new."

"Wah... Chairman Cha is such a nice guy."

"Yes. He even offered me to stay at his house."

"He's really nic- Wait what?!"

"Yeah. He offered me to stay at his house and I accept it. He insisted so I couldn't resist it."

"Noona... You do know-"

"Y/N is their son? I do know that."

"Noona did you see how Y/N hyung treated you just now?"

"It's fair. I used to do that to him back then so it's fair if he does that to me. I deserve a punishment. By the way, how long have they been engaged?"
