III

Earphones plugged in, a certain gaint walked through the dark alley a little far from his house. Pulling a wobbling trolly bag with him, making his way towards the bus stop. Traveling in a posh car doesn't make him as happy and comfortable as traveling on a local bus would make him. Nighttime and drowned in his world the gaint didn't realize a small figure running through the dark, from the opposite side of the alley, right towards him.

~ BAM~

The phone went down on the street with a loud clank sound, which was once in the hands of the gaint just mere seconds ago. The clash between that small figure and gaint caused both of them to fall hard to the ground.

 "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL... "

the gaint storms right away facing towards the guy lying right on him, as if he is a gaint bed for him to rest. Startled by the loud voice the small guy lifted his hoodie and peeked at the person he clashed with fear. Something in those eyes caught the attention of that furious gaint.

 "Woah... what is with those eyes, I feel something weird"....

Shaking off that thought which crossed through the giant's mind as fast as it came through, Realizing that the position they were in, he tries to get up hurriedly.

The brunette realized their position too and tripped a bit by the pace at which that guy was trying to get up, wincing at the same time as a shooting pain came right through his leg.  

"Hey, are you OK? "

The gaint asked worried as if he might have hurt him, well he can clearly see the guy wincing in pain. Right at that moment, the gaint got a good look on the boy's face and he observed all the bruises on the boy's face. Tear-filled eyes looked right at him. He somewhat felt guilty for shouting at the boy.  

"Hey, I'm sorry I shouldn't have reacted like that ... Don't cry, please. I didn't mean to hurt you. "

 thinking that he was the reason the boy was on the verge of crying, the gaint apologized right away. well, he would definitely start crying himself too.  

"I'm Yeon, Woo Yeon...and you? "  

Yeon tried to communicate with the boy, Just so it might lighten up the atmosphere.  

"No, it's ok. It's was my fault, to begin with. I didn't see you coming. I'm really sorry."

Jun bowed down multiple times while apologizing, which only made Yeon get worried about the boy a bit more.

"No, it's ok. Stop bowing already. Jeez, I'm fine. What about you....are you fine? You look like you are hurt and would need some help? "

Yeon asked, not understanding why he wants to help this guy who is trembling in front of him and covered in bruises all over his face.

 "yes I'm fine. Thank you....but if you don't mind can you please tell me which way is to the bus station?"

Jun was a bit Puzzled and somewhat scared as to why a stranger was asking him to help. It's something new for him.

"The bus station, I'm heading to the same way. If you want you can join me till there."

Yeon offered with a smile, thinking at least this way he can help the boy. Jun was not sure if walking with a stranger would be a good idea, but as he looked back at the way he came running from....he didn't want to get ended up back there, at that moment the stranger seemed more reliable to him. Jun gave a Timid nod to Yeon and picked up his backpack which was lying down there miserably.

(This boy...why is he like this?)

Yeon couldn't help but think about the same thing again and again. He admits that the shortie does have some kind of beautiful eyes, but all those eyes scream is sadness. Why?

"Yah... Woo Yeon why do you even care. He is a stranger, you don't know if he would have been involved in something illegal. well looking at his face he is too innocent to do that, But still....there's something in me that is urging me to help this trouble maker. Ahh... Whatever."

There was a cyclone going on inside Yeon's mind.

"Hey, I didn't get your name... "

Yeon tried again to make the shortie talk. Jun started to hesitate a bit.

" Chuck it,"

Yeon thought, not wanting to force the guy.

"you don't nee--"

"My name is Jun, Yu Jun."

Woah... didn't expect he would answer..  

"are you going anywhere? I mean all this backpack and all... "

 ( I'm an idiot) Yeon complimented himself on his dumbness.  

"I don't know, I'm just trying to get outta here"

Jun replied as if it's a normal thing to say.

( seems Like....wait WHAT?? .... fucking hell..... Did he run away from somewhere, and he doesn't even know where to freaking go... Is this guy nuts.)

Yeon really wanted his mind to shut up for a while. And there, Curiosity killed the cat...

"Did you run away? And you don't know where to go... Why? "

His mouth too should shut up now. Taking a sudden halt in his track Jun looked at Yeon as if he was some kind of an alien with horns grown on the head.

"I don't know why are you so interested in what I'm doing or where I am going....as I'm a stranger to you. And don't you think all these things got nothing to do with you.? But yeah..... Let me tell you this small thing, yes I ran away from my home...huh hell if asked to me. Also, I don't know where to go... as I don't have any place or anyone I can go to. Anything else you would like to know mister..."

Gathering the last bit of strength left in himself Jun replied in one breath as to come off strong in front of the stranger.

(God....boy breath.)

Yeon wanted to smack himself and Jun altogether. He himself for being so intruding and jun for being a sassy bitch without any reason. Jun seemed a bit angry, yet Yeon could see the boy's eyes getting watery again. He doesn't know why but he did feel bad for Jun. Taking a deep breath, Yeon walked towards Jun and caught hold of him by placing his right hand on jun's shoulder.

"Do you want to come with me? "
