NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Chapter 04
Yeonjun reached his destination and got down from the truck. He stopped his truck near a big bakery in Daegu.
He called for the owner of the bakery because he needed to do some paperwork with him. After a while, a boy came outside. It seemed like he just became a teenager. But actually he was just two years younger than Yeonjun. Though he was 179 meters, he looked very tiny. He had a very pretty face with beautiful silky hair. If it wasn't for his dress up, anyone would mistake him as a girl. He was wearing a half sleeved white t-shirt with light brown colored half pants. He was wearing a white colored unbuttoned shirt on his t-shirt too. He was giving a cool vibe but his face looked cute and pretty at the same time.
"Hello!" Yeonjun bowed and went to him, taking his phone and some papers attached on a clipboard.
"Hello! Why are you late today?" The boy asked with his thick but sexy voice.
"I was stuck with something back there! Hahaha! I'm really sorry. I had to do all of this alone." Yeonjun showed how pitiful he was working all alone.
"Why? Don't you have so many workers?" He asked.
"Don't ask me! They're all cheaters!" Yeonjun gave the clipboard to the boy to sign on it.
The boy took a good look at the paper and carefully ran his eyes through everything so that he wouldn't miss anything before signing. Then he wrote his name's two letters beautifully as his signature.
"I won't check the goods since I trust you!" After signing the papers, he looked at Yeonjun and winked at him, trying to flirt with him.
"Hehe, are you sure you can trust me, Beomgyu-sshi!" Yeonjun kissed in the air while pointing at the boy and tried to flirt back.
"What are you doing?" Another handsome boy came towards Yeonjun and blocked him to see Beomgyu. His eyes were very big. Though he was glaring at Yeonjun, he looked just like a squirrel. He was wearing black shirt with a white and black colored striped jeans. He could be called cute but his dress up didn't let him go with the cute vibe. He looked like a racer who won a race and came for his prize.
"Uh! We're getting the raw materials for today's special event." Beomgyu said and pulled the boy towards him. The boy stood next to Beomgyu and started judging Yeonjun as if he was scanning him from head to toe.
"Um…. who is he?" Yeonjun asked Beomgyu and then started writing something on the paper which Beomgyu signed a while ago.
"Oh! Let me introduce you guys! This is Taehyun! My friend!" He looked and pointed at the boy while introducing him to Yeonjun. But the boy glared at Beomgyu and mumbled, "Friend?"
Beomgyu gulped as if he was scared of the boy for a moment and then he looked at Yeonjun again and said,
"Yeah! He's my friend!" Beomgyu smiled awkwardly. It looked like he was trying to hide something.
"Uh! I'm Yeonjun! Nice to meet you! I came here for the delivery." He went towards Taehyun and spread his arm towards him.
"Nice to meet you too!" He smiled at Yeonjun though it was clear that he was just faking his smile.
"Are you guys done? Moreover, what're you gonna do with so many bananas?" Taehyun asked Beomgyu.
"You know, today's special material is bananas! So, we're gonna make many things like banana cake, banana loaf, strawberry banana smoothie, banana chocolate tart, roasted banana cheesecake, banana milkshake, ban..." Beomgyu was telling and counting with his fingers because he had planned everything before and was trying his best to remember all of the dish's names. But he was stopped in the middle by Taehyun.
"Stop! Stop! I got it!" Taehyun made an irritated face though he wasn't irritated at all. Because he was looking at Yeonjun and seeing how he was smiling at Beomgyu made him mad and he stopped the cute boy.
"Ah! Why? Don't you like banana flavored food?" Beomgyu pouted while saying.
"That's it! Sign here again and we can start unloading." Yeonjun came to Beomgyu again and showed him where he should give his signature again. They were standing very close with each other. Seeing that, Taehyun looked the other way because he was getting angry for no reason.
"Should I start unloading? As you can see I'm all alone today so I'm in need of some help from others." Yeonjun said and went to his truck.
"It's okay, come inside and have some snacks we made yesterday. My workers will take care of it." Beomgyu said and invited Yeonjun inside. Then he went inside and started talking with one of his employees.
"Uh! Okay. Since you're asking this much!" Yeonjun said and started following Beomgyu. But Taehyun stopped him as he had something to say.
"Wait!"
"Hm?"
"After you finish eating, get lost, will ya?" With a very cold gaze, Taehyun said to Yeonjun. Yeonjun understood that he wasn't just a friend of Beomgyu. And since he found it very interesting, he wanted to tease the boy more.
"Why? Because you know he's not inviting me Just to eat? I'll fuck off if he says so. I'm not working for you anyways!" Yeonjun smirked and after pushing Taehyun away, he went inside.
"Woah! Babe! It looks so gorgeous! Just like you!" Yeonjun shouted at Beomgyu with joy when he got to look at the bakery shining because of its gorgeous decorations. He looked at Taehyun to see how he would react after hearing him. Though Taehyun's red and jealous eyes could kill him at any time, he found him funny.
"Hey, Beomgyu! Be honest with me, ya? Is he really your friend?" Yeonjun came to Beomgyu and whispered into his ears pointing at Taehyun.
"Hm? Why?" Beomgyu acted as if he couldn't understand Yeonjun.
"Then why is he glaring at me like this when I called you babe?" Yeonjun giggled.
"Huh! Actually, he's the idiot who is pursuing me. I didn't agree to be with him yet. But still, he kept following me around. And look at him, he's acting like a protective boyfriend outside. But you know what? He's really soft inside. Hahaha!" Beomgyu smiled while saying.
"Woah! You gave me chills, bro!" Yeonjun hugged himself and kept rubbing his hands, seeing the smile on Beomgyu's face.
"Whaaaat!" Beomgyu stopped smiling and acted as if he got angry.
"Hahaha! But let me give you a trick. Don't give in too easily, okay? I mean wrap him around your finger. Because he'll be the one to give himself in for you. You should be the one to control him. Not the other way around. Got it?" Yeonjun patted Beomgyu's shoulder and finished his words. He started walking around to see the whole place.
"What do you mean?" Beomgyu asked and started showing off his place.
"You'll know!" Yeonjun smiled at Beomgyu and said. Beomgyu seemed a little confused and looked at Taehyun who was still standing in his place, staring at the two of them, looking very hurt. Looking at Taehyun's hurtful gaze, Beomgyu was a little guilty.

Yeonjun came back when it was almost dawn. He spent too much time in Beomgyu's bakery. He almost forgot about the morning. But when he came back, he went to the field as fast as possible while driving. But there was nobody. He really hoped he could see the boy's back again. He went down from the truck and searched for him everywhere. But it was all in vain. He got disappointed when he couldn't find the boy.
Yeonjun remembered Soobin mentioning his grandma. So he thought he could find him if he went to his grandma's place. He rushed to the house as soon as he parked his truck. But the house was locked from outside and it seemed like there was nobody inside the house. Yeonjun felt very heartbroken because he hoped to see the boy again but the boy never promised him that he'd wait for Yeonjun.
