Go for the wolf

@jupmi

Months had passed, days going by painfully slow at first, and nonetheless, there had never been a solid answer as to what had happened—if something went wrong, what went wrong. Honestly, everything had felt wrong in general. Nothing had made sense the very first night that Jongup never came home, when messages went without responses, calls failing to go through. Even going through old messages, rethinking conversations to try and figure out if there had been any vague warning signs. There hadn’t, at least from what he could find.

To say that Jongup didn’t think of Himchan, that would’ve been a lie. There were days in the beginning that he wanted to text him, and wouldn’t care about the charges at all. His number was still engraved into his mind. However when he was in America, his mother told him to let the past lie. That wouldn’t be the case now, would it? Since he’s back in Seoul. The only difference is the thoughts of Himchan no longer existed. 

He was back in town hanging out with some of the guys in the shop when they decided to go grab some food, chicken specifically. They were walking down town only to start talking and joking about things. Of course, that made the boy erupt with laughter. He clung to the other to help himself stand, not knowing himchan was behind him. 

As time passed, Eris grew more and more concerned with the amount of numbers that were dropping all across the Lotus ranks—this had never bothered her very much before, but it was when those that she associated with often and worked alongside were disappearing. The pessimist in her assumed they were all dying or dead, that there was nothing that could be done to fix it.

It happened every so often, and suddenly, it bothered her that it hadn’t seemed to be much of a topic of concern.  Perhaps it shouldn’t have been to her, considering she was often cause for the disappearances of others without batting an eye, without bothering to look back. But that was business.

This seemed more of a threat to the circle she held close, a threat to the entirety of their establishment. 

She was thinking too much, taking in a deep breath to quietly let out —all she needed to be concerned about right now was making sure her car was running well and to tune and fix things that were needed. Although…stepping into the familiar shop was a constant reminder of a particular missing person, Jongup.

She had grown use to working with other mechanics, but that would never be the same—she couldn’t get under their skin, step on their toes, or run to them if she ever came into a particular tricky situation and needed an extra set of hands without raising the concern of superiors.

They didn’t matter to her. She could care less.

With her car keys in hand, Eris stepped into the shop, prepared to deal with just ‘whoever’ was available, but she was stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of a terribly familiar figure. There was no mistaking the defining features for anyone else—he was back.

And she wasn’t sure exactly how she felt about this 360 turn of events.

“Where the hell have you been?”

@jupmi

The day was winding down in the shop, the cars that were brought in earlier today were done with whatever modifications needed, or just the simple oil change. It was time for the guys to sit back and have a beer, the shop ‘closed’ to the public except for those can bend the rules. A few close friends of the guys and members of the black lotus. 

Laughing and joking around he hadn’t heard Eris walk in, it didn’t help that his back was turned towards her. “Yeah, did you see that chick today? ‘My headlight fluid is empty” my god, I’ve never heard someone that stupid...” He went on only to blink as he heard the start of her sentence. It was slightly scary, hearing her tone but what else could he expect from her? Standing up he fixed his coveralls that hung at his waist only to turn around.

Jongup was a man of few words. He didn’t say more than some short sentences and gestures. Regardless the shortness of his words, the young man was polite and kind.

“Don’t exaggerate. I think it’s enough to call me hyung. Hyungnim sounds way too old,” he chuckled.

He wasn’t used to people (except the children at the orphanage) calling him with some kind of honorific. Most of his friends or colleagues were older, some were the same age but there were hardly any younger people in his neighbourhood.

“Some kids will be joining the yard sale at the mall, so it won’t be more than a dozen I think.” 

His stomach growled in agreement at the other’s suggestion to get some food first.

“You’re a local here in the neighbourhood,” they stopped at the corner of the street, looking right and left in search for the perfect direction to head to. “Where do you suggest we go? Perhaps a place where we’d also be allowed to put up a poster or two…”

It was true that Jongup was a local in the neighbourhood, and it easy to get the people to put posters up for him. Not that he’s ever harassed the businesses in the area, but that whenever he shopped the area he was always kind and polite despite the whole tattoo situation going on. “Uh, we could go to a couple food places, and then the karaoke bar...probably the market too.” He nodded before rubbing at the tip of his nose. 

The habit made the young man seem innocent but it was a quirk he’s always done, even when in the ‘innocent’ mode. “We could advertise out of the neighbourhood too, but not too far...” he trailed off on the idea, thinking it could bring more traffic through the area and promote it more, not even just his own store but just for the fact that the area was beautiful in itself.
