Little One (jinhwan x hanbin)

Uno

Jinhwan was going home  from work when he saw the same guy that helped him with the tissue boxes. Hanbin was cursing loudly in anger while trying to open his car's door. 

Jinhwan doesn't have a car, but he felt bad for him, since he had a lot of groceries that he needed to take home.  - This should be a good payback. - The boy thought as he headed towards Hanbin to help him with his problem.

"Hi." Jinhwan said. 

Hanbin jumped slightly and turned around looking at the empty space in front of him and then down at the small boy. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." He said, frowning. 

"It's fine Hanbin, I'm used to it, don't worry." Hanbin's face lit up. "Now, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Why are you asking?" The taller raised a brow at the question.

"I saw you were in deep trouble and I thought I could help you." Jinhwan laughed slightly. "You're kind of funny when you're angry." 

"You... want to help me?" 

"Sure, I thought this could pay you back for helping me earlier. Plus, you seem nice." The small boy said honestly.

"Well, thank you. Now, the thing is my car door is blocked and I'm stuck outside with this full shopping cart. You think you could help me?"

Jinhwan looked around the parking lot that was almost empty when a thought came to his mind. He was right. Except from "Hanbin's" car, there was another one that looked exactly the same. It was probably the one that was actually his.

"Hanbin, are you sure this is your car?" Jinhwan played around with the taller boy a bit.

"Of course I'm sure, do you think I'm some stupid-"

Jinhwan cut him off. "Then what about that one over there?"

Hanbin looked at the other car and looked back at him with an 'I can explain' look on his face. the shorter continued:  "Are you still sure?"

"Um, t-that one's mine. Yeah, I'm sorry." He stuttered. 

-How cute, he's nervous.-  Thought Jinhwan.

"No problem." 

He smiled. 

- Even his smile is cute.  -

He headed to his car, while pushing the shopping cart that to Jinhwan honestly looked like it had to be pushed by four people at once, but Hanbin was doing it by himself like it was no big deal. 

- Why does he need that much food, anyway? I should help him with those too. - Jinhwan said to himself. He followed the other to his car.

"Can I help you with those?" the boy asked.

"Um, there's no need to, but thank you."

"Please?" - Am I begging him to let me help? What's wrong with me? -

"Um, okay, I guess. You can put those boxes in the back and the candy stays in the front. I'll be taking care of the rest. Also, leave one of the candy bags out. I'm hungry, so I'll be needing that."

Jinhwan gasped slightly at how organised the guy was.

"Wow, you're really organised." He stated as he started moving the boxes from the cart and into the back of the car rack. 

"Well, I like everything to be in it's place and tidy, you know?" Hanbin said.

"Good for you." 

The two continued moving the things from the cart, inside the car and Jinhwan left one of the candy bags out, as he was asked.

"Thanks a lot Jinhwan!" Hanbin chirped, smiling at the shorter boy whilst rubbing the back of his neck with his hand sheepishly.

"You're welcome." Jinhwan replied, smiling back at him. "Stay safe!"  

"You too." 

Hanbin got inside his car and started it and Jinhwan began walking away. Since he didn't own a car, the smaller of the two had to use public transport, specifically, the bus.

 Jinhwan was walking to the bus station. He stopped,  realization hitting him. He checked the time on his phone, only to see that he lost the last bus about fifteen minutes prior to then. It read 23:45. The boy sighed. 

As he was not so far away from the bus station, a car passed by him and stopped at the red light. Jinhwan was quite scared because 'Who drives around here this late?'  Next thing he knows, the car's window opens. The short boy looked away from the car, then he heard: 

"Jinhwan?" a voice said. It was Hanbin.

Jinhwan sighed in relief as he looked back at the car.

"Hanbin, hello...for the third time today."

"What are you doing out here? It's late, you know? It's dangerous." Hanbin said, seeming worried.

"I know. I lost my last bus. Now I have to walk all the way home."

"Where do you live, though?"

Hanbin didn't notice that the light turned green.

"Well, it takes an hour to get there by bus, so... pretty far. The light turned green, by the way."

The taller boy moved his car forward and stopped it again. He looked out the window and gestured Jinhwan to come there."

"Would you like me to drive you home?" He asked. 

Jinhwan widened his eyes, slightly embarrassed. He could feel the heat rise in his cheeks.

"Y-you don't have to, you know? I c-can walk. I don't want to bother you or anything..."

"You won't bother me. I was lonely anyway. Come on, get in."

"O-okay, thank you a lot."

"No problem." 

A/N: The ride will be in the next chapter. :>
