⇛ It wasn’t right, she couldn’t get her power nap. She’s been up for 34 hours straight, endlessly practicing in the studio, rehearsing answers for interviews. If her life has been hectic as a trainee, it’s been doubled up now she finally debuted. Her members were already sleeping in their rooms after practice. Which was 2 hours ago, and in another hour, they’re supposed to be at the salon, so the stylist could prepare them for their live performance later in the afternoon. She’s already developed dark circles beneath her eyes. Great, she is now slowly turning into a zombie. She knew that the stylist unnie will scold her again because it’s going to need a thick layer of make-up to conceal it. But she did try getting herself into dreamland still, her restlessness just kicks her back to reality. Joohyun had no other choice but to stack up caffeine for today, the least she could ever think of at a time like this, plus it’s barely a five-minute walk from their dorm to the convenience store. It’s much of a hassle to look for a nearby cafe.
With her hood over her head, she strides her way inside the store. And as expected, she’d meet weird gazes coming from different people, even the staff couldn’t help to not notice. It’s not the fact that she’s an idol that people had their heads turning. It was her pink-tipped locks that caught their attention, not to mention that the shade of her pink hair was definitely eye-catching. Well bless the soul of their creative staff, they did a good job on making them distinct. But those words were dipped in sarcasm at the moment. She internally grunted to herself, and lowers her head hastily approaching the freezer. And another issue arises, upon lifting the freezer door. They’re out of iced coffee—no more like her favorite flavor. Her she ducked her head as she scans the whole rack, there was definitely no sign of Latte it was all Espresso. A small pout fell upon her lips she had no choice but to grab two cans of it anyways, and so she moved through the small aisle and checked for some snacks, that could keep her awake. As she scanned her eyes over the product displayed and grabbed a few packs she noticed peripherally, that something was blocking her left side, the person was standing too long. Why would a stranger stand there for too long, and the fact that they were the only people in that corner, she was getting agitated, or she could be blocking the path. Oh right.
"Oh sorry, I didn’t notice you right away." she wasn’t sure how her tone sounded but finally turns to the stranger, stepping aside, with her head slightly tipped downwards. Not wanting to see her worsening set of eye bags.
⌊⌘⌉ Luhan was still in deep thought, he'd remembered what he saw on TV. Still, it didn't make it any easier for him to ask if he could pass through, and the more he thought about it, the more he started to feel as if he looked like a stalker. Someone who followed her here and is only staring at her. Luhan furrowed his brows, a small frown forming on his lips upon the thought. He managed to make himself appear like a stalker, just like he always manages to mess up everything else.
Luhan was ready to give up, he'd just wait on another isle until she was gone. Hopefully everyone outside would leave too, and he wouldn't have a hard time getting back to his boss. Fuck, he was really late now. A step about to be taken back, that was when the female spoke, Luhan stood still as the other moved aside. Her tone made Luhan think he'd really been standing there for too long, yet he didn't move for a moment, still staring at her a trying to think of anything to say. It's alright? Can he just say those words? Luhan opened his mouth, but quickly closed it again. No, he really can't. Beginning to feel frustrated, Luhan grabbed and clenched at the hem of his shirt in between his fingers. "Hm--" Sound, Luhan was surprised to hear the tone of his voice, but it ended as quickly as it started. He stepped forward, passing past the female to where he needed to get the drinks. He sighed at his failed attempt, grabbing for the door handle and reaching for the Expresso's. One, two, three, four--
The can was on the floor, and Luhan moved as fast as he could to pick it up. A panicked expression on his face, Luhan could almost see the look on the cashier's face when they herd the clatter. Not to mention, the female was still there and she probably saw it too. At this point, Luhan wanted to dematerialize from the face of the earth. He was still bent over, silently cursing himself before getting back up and avoiding looking back. He held onto the cans tightly-- reaching over for a fifth one before he let the freezer door close, a shaken expression on his face.
