[00:42am] One thing great about Seoul was its availability of 24hours stores, so there were you in your wild hair and bare face hoodie and leggings going through a online classes college crisis, but what is there that a good pack of ramen can't fix?
There is!
Height
You need height to reach the 6ft high shelf to reach that Ramen!
Looking around you, saw the girl in the cash counter dozing off in exhaustion, you felt abit bad to disturb her but you had no choice to sooner or later when you will go up to ring up your items.
You were almost out of the aisle when you saw a tall man probably 6ft above, your knight in shining armour. Taking a deep breath you walked towards him rising your hand to tap his shoulder but it didnt felt right you you pulled your hand back, clearing your throat you said softly in your broken Korean,
"Uhm, Excuse me,"
He Turned and looked around Damn visual why does this country have to be this cold and it's people so hot.
you thought to yourself
He looked around confused where did that came from you began again,
"Down here."
His eyes widen in abit embarrassment and confusion he looked down at your 5'3 figure clearing his throat little flustered he said,
"Yes"
Raising your hand to point at the ramen sitting in its shelf, cheeks a bit warm and hesitation In your tone but its nothing to be embarrassed about it's your body it's not your fault it's small maybe this is what's best for you.
"Can pass that to me, it's kinda out of my league, I mean reach sorry."
He let out a small smile and swiftly reach for it grabbing two bowls.
"I only need one."
You said, looking at him with curious eyes.
To which he said,
"I know, this one is for me."
Handing you the bowl he gave you a small nod and walked towards the freezer.
You mumbled a small thanks and went towards the cash register.
So long pretty face
You thought, smiling to yourself. Your eyes landed on the chips aisle you were reluctant If you should or shouldn't buy the shrimp chips but you talked your self out of it.
Budget, budget, budget.
Striding towards the cashier you noticed that the guy was also checking out his items Soju, packed kimchi, and the ramen same as you.
What a combination.
Never the less you walked and stood behind him, waiting for your turn when you saw his card decline you felt bad because he had a pout ears kinda turning red in embarrassment, you swear you heard a grumble but was not sure if it was from him or you he walked out of the store leaving the girl irritated, he was calling someone.
You saw the stuff they didnt seemed that expensive but then again, its Seoul maybe he was just a student making ends meet like you. You felt kinda sorry for him.
"I'll take them make them two separate packets."
Smiling you paid in cash, No more meat this month.
Walking out you saw him still standing but this time a cigarette between his lips, stretching the packet towards his direction you said,
"Here, I didnt said it earlier but thank you."
This made him raise his brows and tilt his head a bit in confusion pointing a finger at himself.
"It may sound odd but do you know who I am?"
Mocking his head tilt with a smile you said,
"Why, you dont know who you are?"
This made him chuckle in amusement he took the packet from your hand and said
"Thanks, can I get your name?"
Nodding you said,
"Sure, only if I get yours."
You can swear you saw a glint flash in his eyes or maybe they were mirroring yours.
"Wong Yuk-hei, you can call me Lucas if its difficult for you."
"Y/F/N, you can call me Y/N because I dont have any other name."
You both chuckled at you last sentence.
Nodding your head as a sign of farewell you turned and was about to walk down the stairs but his voice stopped you,
"Wait, how do I pay you back! "
You turned and coolly said,
"Pay for the meal of someone who is in need I guess."
After a beat of silence he said,
"Would you like to eat this together?"
