So quiet...

@kim youngwoo ✹ -sends you a message-
Text:
- hey friend! I am in the hangout spot.
- wanna swing by?

-comes in with snacks and coffee, setting it up on a table, humming as I pull my phone out-
Maybe I should text him.

I seem to always come around when it's clear and no one's around. Shame.

Huh, nobody? Rare.

Youngwoo receives a phone call, the duration isn't long but it's apparent he needs to be or go somewhere. After about 30-45 seconds he states a clear 'alright', downs the rest of his coffee and casually hurries out.

Youngwoo comes in with coffee. He’s silent, and looks exhausted.

*peeks in*

*stretching out, she lounges on the sofa offered, looking around before pulling out her phone and opening up a mobile game to kill the time and hopefully cure her boredom*

@byun baekhyun ⋆ ()so sorry im late! Trying to reach back out if possible?

*she offers a little hum in return* well hello there baekhyun dear, I'm naeun. How are you today hm?

Youngwoo sits with coffee and his typical sketch pad. He's not looking out the window this time, but onto his laptop.

-looking up, offering a warm smile-
Hello.
Names Baekhyun

*taking a deep breath, the woman walks into the lounge, settling down in a corner while scrolling through her emails on her phone, eyes scanning the area curiously since she didn't meet anyone perse. Noting a male closer to her and she quirks a brow before waving a hand briefly* hello there.

-brushing my hair back, I step inside-
Time to find a job…
-sighing, i settle in the far corner-

Eyebrows quirk at the culprit being innocent.
Innocent, you say? I wonder what had caused her to erupt.

() it's cool. I'm gonna sleep too

[] i’m gonna try to go back to bed for a couple hours. I apologize if I disappear.

“Unfortunately I don’t have cameras.” Youngwoo rubs his chin in thought. “As for the person who caused the eruption. Some innocent girl.”

Oh. You should've sliced them with a shard of glass.
Kidding.
I'm not sure how the claim works, but you could send the insurance company the video of the incident. Evidence that it was caused by someone else and all that.

Youngwoo rubs at his forehead. “I do. Was some kind of rampage if you can believe it. That window was custom-made that costed me a lot. I’ll figure it out..that’s my mission today.”

Was it a break-in or a customer rampage? Either way, i hope you've got insurance.

“Hmm? Oh..well I had some crazy. Unbelievable situation happen yesterday and now I have a broken front window to my parlor.”

Notices the other occupant with pinched eyebrows.
What's the matter?

Youngwoo sits with coffee. He’s got a computer and he looks so frustrated while looking at the screen.

*hums softly as I come in with a pizza, sitting down and eating slowly* beats eating at home alone...quiet tonight

“A herbalist eh? Didn’t know the world had such need. Must be a forest boy huh? Nice to meet you formally, properly. Oh you sell stuff? Huh. Yeah, we can trade each other some of our own works. Can bring my portfolio in tomorrow. Gifts or food and drink are not necessary. Don’t need to be owing anything. Plus, I’m picky about my coffee. A very simple man.” As he’s asked again about the phone number he speaks for Hyeongjun to input. “Shoot me a text when you get around to it. I’ll be around I’m sure. Nice meeting you. Glad I could give you a good experience.”

His cheeks heated up at this but he seemed to smile still, being able to tell that the other was joking with him. “My name is Hyeongjun, I am an herbalist and I just moved here recently,” he said with a smile him. “I sell my stuff so I think next time I see you I can show you some of the stuff I make, you might like it.” He seemed a little happy as he spoke to him, feeling happy that the other was so nice to him. “So yeah your number, please? I will even bring you a coffee and something to eat. Mostly as a way to say thank you for your help. And yes I know I dont have to but I want to so please?”

Youngwoo looks up to see the young male approach him with their phone out. “He’s confused, but he smiles nonetheless. “You’re pushing too hard. You don’t have to do that. You don’t even know my name.” He’s teasing a little;”I’m Youngwoo, and who is this guy who wants my number? Hmm?” His tone of voice is clearly giving a playful jab.

He nodded at this, thinking of it and shivering a little at the thought. "I can imagine the damage those can do to you," he said with a small nod before he took out his phone. He felt a little shy at this but Hyeongjun knew he would need to be brave and just step out of his comfort zone as he had been told. "Would you like to exchange numbers by the way," he asked, his voice cracking a bit before clearing it a little. It would be nice to have a friend besides Beomgyu. And the other had agreed to help him so it would be nice to talk with him when he needed someone there.
