"—Your dimples are illegal, so I call you ille-girl,"
My hands run deep into my long hair. I should just rip all my hair out shouldn't I?
"You are my religion, so I call you she-sus,"
Oh my god, if I could only fling those huge bags of frozen peas at him. "Taehyung no offence but this is NOT going to work. Can you just go change so I can leave? You're already late."
"—No wait but here's the grand finale, I'm so lonely, like a whale. Love me."
"You're a whale?? Seriously?" I actually laugh at how preposterous it sounds. There's no way the poor boy would stand a chance.
"Yes. I'm a whale~~" he sings, the last note higher than the others. Taehyung takes second shift as manager of the food department in the huge ass store we both work in. Being right in the middle of Ilsan, it can get busy almost all the time.
"I read about a lost whale on Naver and I thought it was sma—," "Why don't you just man up and ask her?" I say as I lean on the metal surface of one of the closed checkout counters, not paying attention to what he says, mindlessly watching the cashiers bill costumers out. "—because Rin," he starts, I raise an eyebrow "because?"
"Because I'm scared I'd just blabber if I meet her in the eye." He responds as he runs a hand through his slightly long ash-raven hair, for someone who is all talk he has no nerve.
I snicker slightly, "Alright you screw up, the best you could do is not give her that, whatever you wrote. Just ask—,"
"I can't!!" He says cutting me off and a deep throated groan escapes from me. He was really testing my patience, eating away every bit I had left.
"She probably gets a hundred proposals a day! Have you seen her?! I need to stand out!!"
"So?! Ille-girl? SHE-SUS?! are you fucking kidding me?" I ask back, to be honest it did come off a little harsh. His eyes dim and he pouts.
I exhale tired, "Listen I'm sure she'll like you alright? I can almost tell from the way she talks to you every time."
"She hasn't said anything beyond 'hello', 'good bye' and 'do you have Top ramen?'" He sighs and I laugh all over again, "Yes but she always says good bye and always makes it a point to ask even though she knows we have Top ramen all the damn time. So that's something,"
"Hmm that is something." He says actually considering it, "and she always asks me!" He says holding up a finger. I huff and his face is all smiles, "I need to leave, can you go get changed now please??"
