The Encounter

Jimin POV:

I sigh as I walk out of my house to go to my part time job at a convenience store not too far away from my house. It's the holiday season and today's a day before Christmas Eve to be exact. Everyone's at their respective homes enjoying the warmth of their house while I walk in this unforgiving weather to do my job. It's so annoying that my boss wanted me to stay and keep the store open while everyone else working at the store are on holiday. It's not a secret that he hates me as my clumsy self is always dropping things and causing some type of damage in the store, but he still hasn't fired me. I wonder why.

After fifteen minutes I reach the store and take out the keys to open the locked store. I can't wait to get in the warmth of the store as I almost froze to death during my walk. I turn on the lights and heaters as I walk in and log into my employee ID on the computer. I sigh as I see the time, it's 7:09. I have to be here till 10:30. I already know it's going to be a long night as there won't be many customers so I'm basically a sitting duck here contemplating my life decisions. I sighed again as I plugged my phone into the speakers to play some songs to kill my boredom. BTS's FIRE song immediately blasts through the store speakers, I instantly smile as it's my favourite song and I'm THE biggest fan of theirs. As I feel a bit energized I decide to stack up some cereal boxes which were left in the storage room yesterday.

*Time skip*

I almost squeal out of excitement as the store closing time nears. There's ten minutes left and I can't wait to get home and eat my eomma's handmade strawberry pie, I'm so hungry. All I did these past hours was stack some shit and tend to the 5 customers that walked in to get some last minute things for Christmas celebration. My train of thoughts is disrupted as I hear the chime of the bell of the store door indicating a customer's arrival. I groan internally as I was about to lock up but now I'm gonna have to tend to this customer. I look up and I'm dumbfounded at the sight of a young man, wearing a prim all black suit with his hair done nicely showing a part of his forehead. I admire more as he walks towards my counter and I notice he has midnight black eyes, a sharp long nose and the most prettiest thin well shaped lips. I unconsciously pucker my lips as if I'm about to pull him close and kiss him.

My train of thoughts is again disrupted by a snap of fingers in front of my eyes. I look up at the customer as he gives me an irritated look. I come back to my senses and smile at him as I greet.

"Hello Sir, how can I help you?". "I need a bottle of Valium". I hear his deep voice ring in my ears making shivers run down my spine, or it's probably just the cold.
(AN: It's not the cold)

"Sure, can you please give me the doctors prescription please?" I say as I offer my hand across the counter for the prescription.

He groans and says, "I don't have any, just give me the damn Vicodin. I'll even pay you double of the amount".

I sigh as I realized he's a rich bratty ass druggie of some kind. 'Still quite handsome though', I add as an afterthought. "Sorry Sir, it's against rules to give this drug without a prescription, you can come back tomorrow with a prescription". I smile at him as I log out of the computer readying myself to leave.

I see him clench his jaw as I finished logging out. He suddenly banged his fist against the counter right in front of me which made me jump in surprise and a little bit of fear, he seemed like the one who'd beat you up mercilessly and I don't want to get my pretty face busted. He yelled right after banging his fist, "Just hand me the fucking Valium you little boy, or there'll be consequences". I'm a little more scared and offended right now. I know I'm short but there's no need to rub it in my face. I put up a tough façade and pretend like I'm not at all scared of him. I take a deep breath and calmly speak, "You're gonna have to calm down Sir and leave, or I'm gonna have to call the police".
