#Joongdok au?? where both YJH and KDJ are assassins. They’re assigned the task to kill each other.. not knowing they would end up falling for each other instead
Two men are seated at a bar, the soft jazz music and clattering of cups being cleaned, filling the silence.
Short #Joongdok au where CEO!YJH is tired after a long day and only one person can calm him down
HSY: Mr. Yoo, here are the documents you have to sign
Secretary Han steps into his office with a stack of papers in hand
YJH: ..hah- just put it on my desk..
KDJ: ..oh.
KDJ turns the other way, too embarassed with himself to fight anymore. But he mutters under his breathe something along the lines of 'sunfish' and 'bastard'.
YJH: 'Stupid Kim Dokja. He's more annoying than I thought. ..but just as pretty I guess.'
YJH really wants to choke this kid.
YJH: My name is Yoo Joonghyuk. Not, 'sunfish', Kim Dokja.
KDJ: How do you know my name? Are you stalking me?
YJH points to the nameplate on his uniform.
KDJ saying through gritted teeth: Thank you handsome stranger, how kind of you to pity me enough to do that!
YJH suddenly annoyed: You should be thankful I was decent enough to help you.
KDJ: I'll have you know I could've made it to the bus on my own! I run fast enough!
YJH with a raised brow: I've seen you run. You run like you have bricks on your feet weighing you down.
KDJ: My backpack is heavy! And we-well you look like a stupid sunfish!
...
They both pause at this weird insult. KDJ's face growing a bright red.
YJH blurts out: You should really think about waking up earlier, then I wouldn't have to tell the driver to stop every time.
KDJ quickly turns his head with a strange expression on his face. His eyes widen slightly, taking in the person who just scolded him.
+the driver to stop. KDJ enters the bus, just as tired as every other time, but this time around he takes a seat next to YJH.
YJH freezes. The boy is much skinnier up close.. And a lot prettier than he thought. Without thinking YJH turns towards him.
(KDJ stays up late reading webnovels which is why he wakes up late)
As YJH looks out the glass, eyes searching for the paler, sure enough he comes running straight for the bus waving his hands in the air.
KDJ: PLEASE WAIT FOR ME!!!
YJH swiftly presses the red button, alerting+
(Yes he has)
KDJ has been late so often that YJH has taken it upon himself to sit by the 'STOP' button, so that KDJ can make it on the bus. (I know, he's a kind soul 🙏)
Sometimes, YJH thinks why doesn't the boy just simply wake up earlier to make it to the bus stop?
+and once again, KDJ exhaustedly steps onto the bus, flopping into a seat before the vehicle starts up again.

It's been roughly 2 weeks since KDJ had unexpectedly become part of YJH's daily routine, of which he actually looks foward to. And no he hasn't been counting the days.
Other students on the bus giggle at KDJ's failed attempts at getting the driver to notice him. YJH glares at them for laughing in amusement rather than helping the poor guy out.
YJH thinks quickly, pushing the 'STOP' button on the pole beside him. The bus finally stops+
He takes his seat near the front as the bus starts leaving, absent mindedly wondering if the plain boy would be here again.
Almost as if on cue, running up the hill is KDJ, looking just as anxious as yesterday.
KDJ screaming: STOP THE BUSSSSSS!!
KDJ hurridly finds a seat at the front, YJH settling back into his own, staring at KDJ with a slightly pleased expression.
~
The next day, it's the same routine, just like it always is for YJH. He had arrived to the bus stop, earbuds already in.
YJH (strangely) worried: Wait, there's someone trying to get on!
He yells to the bus driver. The vehicle jerks to a sudden stop, doors hissing as they open.
KDJ panting as he scans his bus pass: Hah- thank you.. for stopping-!
He watches the overcast sky from the window, noticing a pale boy running up the street, trying to catch up to the already moving bus.
KDJ: HEY! STOP, WAIT FOR ME!
YJH pulls one of the buds out from his ear, quickly standing up, almost as if he was worried for the boy.
