Summer Jobs Series (svt) - retailworker!jeonghan
ok imma write about my favorite person in the entire world rn so I donât even know if I can finish this without exploding with feels !!! i probably wonât check this after writing it so sorry for grammar and whatnot /// anyways, enjoy~
being a broke college student had its ups and downs
youâve been to more job interviews than there are stars in the sky
and the jobs youâve done have been absolute hell
serving rude families with crying babies at diners, being creepily hit on when you were a barista, being asked the most simple and obvious questions and having to answer them when you worked at a call center Â
youâve never had a job you truly liked ,,, you kinda just had to do them or else you would be worse off than you already were
until one day you noticed that a clothing store you pass by often had a help wanted sign
you couldnât believe your luck
you were a fashion design major and have always dreamed about working in something even slightly related to your passion
you applied and were ecstatic when you got the job
like jumping around on the street happy after being told you got the job because !!! you donât have to serve screaming children and low tippers anymore !!!
you came in the next day, literally skipping on your way there
you get to the clothing store, which is actually quite big for how it isnât one of those corporate company owned stores
in fact it felt very cosy ,,, it felt like being in a really aesthetically pleasing thrift store
it offered a lot different styles of clothing, appealing to a lot of different customers /// the neutral color palette of the whole store also helped the whole feel ///
when you met the manager, she kindly welcomed you and helped you get acquainted with the storeÂ
she then was like !!!! i forgot !!! i need to go check on the clothes being shipped in !!!! then she tells you to stay put while she finds another employee that can help train you
when she comes back she comes back with ,,, the most beautiful ,,, perfect looking guy you have ever seen ,,, he had the fluffiest and softest looking blonde hair you have ever seen, the prettiest facial structure that was enhanced by his thin rimmed glasses
he wore a simple white tee with black ripped jeans ,,,, and even if the look was incredibly normal ,,, you were just starstruck by his beauty
you had to internally scream at yourself to shut your gaping mouth and stop drooling over himÂ
he was smiling like crazy and was like !!!! hi!!! im jeonghan!!! youâre new yeah??!!Â
youâre still in disbelief at your incredible luck as you stupidly just nod and introduce yourself ,, still in a daze he just laughs, keeping the situation lightÂ
you both said goodbye to your manager as she runs around frantically  cause wHerE ArE mY KeYs????Â
jeonghanâs then like shall we start??? then he GRABS YOUR WRIST AND BRINGS YOU AROUND
and your hearts like !!!! while your brains like ???? why are you overreacting ??? right itâs because heâs someone you havenât met before!!! yeah absolutely thatâs exactly why your heart is pounding so loud people across the street would think a marching band is coming through the city
 and heâs just too nice ,,, he happily shows you where the inventory is and how they organize, how the cash register operates, what to do in some situationsÂ
and you just kinda start to relax ,,, and actually start being like yourself cause you realize ,,, for someone as pretty as him heâs just like any other person
and then you start joking around with him
and thatâs kinda how you guys became friends
your manager was swamped with work the rest of the week so jeonghan basically trained you
and since you pretty much got the gist of it from the first day its been pretty smooth sailing
you guys werenât the only ones working at the store but you just always kinda ,,, gravitated towards each other and just always helped each other
it wasnât like you guys werenât friends with the other employees it just that it just felt really comfortable when you guys were working together
jeonghan will never admit it but having you around was like a blessing cause you never realized that you basically did like all the work while he did one thing in the past hour evil,evil angel
and even when things were hectic and all in the store you guys just always had each otherâs backs
there was this one time where jeonghan was dealing with this guy who kept yelling about something no one understood and he just looked at you and mouthed help
you smirked at him and pretended you couldnât understand what he was trying to tell you even though he knew you could
jeonghanâs pleading look got to you so you just sighed and decided to help as if you werenât gonna sooner or later
you came over and sweetly asked what the problem was
and you just smoothed over the problem like it was no biggie and  jeonghanâs like you, you are my god
on days that were pretty slow cause the lack of customers, you guys would sneak some snacks in and eat them in the back room
you guys would play games and you were dying cause ??? he always won ?? how ?? he would just smile as sickly sweet as he could while saying that no one could beat the angel before laughing
he told you mindlessly before that he kinda nicknamed himself angel and you gave out the biggest laugh since he was far away from being angelic except from his looks wait i didnât say that what
you guys would just play games when you were bored in the store ,,, like who could come up with the ugliest outfits and stuff
you always had a good time with each other whether there was nothing to do or when you both are literally dying because of all the work to be doneÂ
you had just become so comfortable with each other ,,, talking about anything and everything and always enjoying each otherâs company
one day on a particularly boring shift jeonghan was like y/n~ iâm so bored~~~
you laugh while you fold clothes and ask what he had in mindÂ
he then was like !!! we should try to make an outfit for each other !!! and whoever has the better one wins !!!
youâre like alright game on, but the loser has buy the winner ice cream after this shift
and he smirks and hes like you got yourself a deal
so you guys have 20 minutes to make an outfit for each other
you casually walk around the store ,,, pretending to be fixing stuff up at the mens area and secretly take the clothes you wanted
you took this white plain tee and paired it with a denim jacket that had a fur lined collar, then took some black ripped skinny jeansÂ
it was yet again another simple look but jeonghan didnât usually wear something flashy
you thought it would suit him ,,, it was chic yet simple and very boyfriend
you met up with him at the third floor ,,, somewhere where your boss or coworkers wouldnât find you guys goofing off even though they knew you guys wouldÂ
you both put the clothes in bags so the other wouldnât see until you got into the dressing roomÂ
once you both got in your separate stalls you both gasped softly
you opened the bag and saw this ///outfit///
it was a white shirt dress paired with a denim flannelÂ
he even got you accessories ,,, Â a simple gold chained necklace with your nameâs initial ,,, as well as a gorgeous charm bracelet with a charm of your favorite animal
and that really touched your heart ,, like he remembered you saying you loved that animal from a while ago
after you guys changed you came out of the stalls and looked at each other ,,, then looked at both of you in a mirror
âwow we are totally matchingâ jeonghan says, still gazing at the mirror
you guys started laughing as your outfits are eerily similarÂ
you kinda ,,, liked it ,,, liked that you were matching
âI gotta say that I won on this one thoughâ he mentions with a confident smileÂ
âwhat! the outfit fits you wayyy more are you kidding me?â
âwhat?? the outfit fits you beautifully ,,, and i even got you accessories!!!!â
you had to cave in and were like ugh fine you win iâll get you some ice cream
you guys were about to change when jeonghan grabbed your wrist to stop you from changing back
âumm ,,, you donât have to change,,â
and youâre like ??? jeonghan thatâs stealing??? i need to change back lol
and jeonghanâs suddenly shy, which is rare, and starts looking down at the floor
âi kinda bought the outfit for you already ,,,, cause i knew you would look amazing in it ,,,â
and you are ///FLUSTERED/// and youâre intensly blushing as youâre like what??? no no no you didnât need to ??? i canât take this
and he holds onto your wrist a bit more firmly and looks into you eyes as heâs like please just take it ,,, you look beautiful in it ,,, if you really wanna pay me back for it ,,, you could go on a date wih ,e?
and here comes the butterflies in your stomach is it bad that my hearts beating hard for this??
and youâre like you wanna go on a date with me?
and hes like yeah,,, ever since youâre and i saw you checking me out LOL
at this point youâre a blushing mess but he makes you look at him and takes both of your hands
and heâs like i seriously like you and asked if thatâs a yes and youâre like !!! yes, of course !!!
his smile looked so heavenly you thought you saw a halo above your head as he was like imma go change now, donât you dare change out of that amazing outfit brought to you by yours truly
you laugh as you think thatâs probably one of the last things you would think of doing right now
after heâs done you both giddly try to get out of work early by telling your manager you both have the flu and you both try to act sickÂ
but your manager just becomes giddy and is like YOU GUYS ARE GOING ON A DATE ARENâT YA
and youâre like what?!?! no!!! weâre both dying from sickness thatâs all!!!
your manager wasnât even listening to you as she was running around telling the other employees that the ship has sailed !!!! jeonghan finally did it !!!
you and jeonghan are like ,,, what have we done to her ,,,
your manager then pushes you both out of the store and tell you to take the whole damn weekend offÂ
while you guys are walking off you can hear the whistles and cheers of your co-workers and the occasional âdonât forget to invite me to your weddingâ
and the date was perfectÂ
you guys just walked around the city, taking pictures of each other, buying all the street food you could then sitting at a nearby park
and the date felt so natural ,,, just like you were hanging out
except ,,, the hand holding, hugging and ,,, kissing hdkssk
you guys wouldnât usually show pda but you both were just so happy and giddy you couldnât get enough of each other
and before you said good bye you bought jeonghan his ice cream ,,, and maybe had the best goodbye kiss youâve ever had sjdkdj
all you could think about that night was even if you lost the game that day ,,, getting your job, meeting jeonghan and falling for him made you the true winnerÂ
