Common Interest

~1~

I sigh as I drive down a darkened road. I've never driven this far from the city before, it's quite exhilarating. This new found feeling is great. I feel like I can do anything now. No cops too chase me, no videos of me appearing on the tv screens of the local gas station, just forest and the road ahead... and a person?

"Who would be out here in the middle of nowhere, at this time?" I thought to myself.

I pulled my car to the side of the road and rolled my window down. The mysterious person turned towards my vehicle and hesitantly walked towards me.

"Need a ride?" I asked while looking at them. I couldn't make out what they looked like, they had their hood up, a mask... and damn sunglasses. Who the fuck wears sunglasses in the middle of the night?

"How do I know you are not some kind of serial killer?" They asked tilting their head slightly to the side questionably.

I couldn't tell if they were serious, mostly because their muffled voice was dripping with sarcasm, but maybe they knew who I was? I smirked at their question.

"How do I know you aren't a serial killer yourself? You look kinda shady with those sunglasses." He gave a somewhat nervous laugh, but I think it's because they didn't like my joke.

"Picking up strangers on the side of the road can get you killed, they actually could be serial killers. Or if you were a serial killer you'd pick up and kill people that happened to be walking alone down the side of the road, like me, making myself the one in danger of being killed. But if you were a serial killer and I was a serial killer what would happen in this situation?" They rambled. I kinda like their logic though.

"We would become friends with a common interest I guess. So you want a ride or not?" I smiled motioning to come sit.

"Beats being out here in the cold, and having to walk." They said and hopped in beside me. They are pretty petit, I wonder how old they are?

"How old are you might I ask?" I questioned continuing to drive down the road.

"I'm twenty two " They mumbled.

No way they are older than me, they must be lying.

"Really? You look more like a twelve year old to me. There is no way you are older." I laughed. They gave me a small punch to the arm in defence, causing me to let out a small laugh over the cute act.

"How old are you then kid?" They scoffed.

"I am not a kid, I'm a man. I'm twenty" I defended myself, as I poked my thumb into my chest.

"Still a kid to me" They joked, lifting their shoulders.

I cant believe someone older than me can act like this, it's kinda cute to be completely honest though. I just rolled my eyes and continued to drive.

The ride down the road was quiet after that, but there is something that's bothering me. Why are they still wearing all of that shit? It's warm in here, I bet they are boiling in all the layers of clothes and stuff they have on. Do they not want to show their face? Are they famous and not want me to know? All these questions are driving me crazy.

"Is there something wrong, you don't seem to be focused on the road? No offence but your driving scares me and I don't want to die today, so either tell me what's on your mind or..."

"Why are you hiding your face?" I blurted out, cutting them off. I couldn't take it anymore it was bothering me and I needed to know the face behind the cute antics. They turned to look out of the side window, letting out a huff.

"I don't like people knowing what I look like, it can cause problems." They mumbled.

"I get you, but out here no one but me will see what you look like, so no problem right? I'm great at keeping secrets, believe me."

They let out a sigh before turning towards me again. At this point I pulled back over to the side of the road so I can look at them, and stop them from trash talking my driving at the same time.

"Fine I'll show you what I look like, but you can't think different of me once I do"

"We just met and barley know each other, the only thing I know about you is your age. What even is your name, sex, ambitions? What could possibly change what I think of you when I don't even know you?" I questioned.

"You are right, but we should get to know each other before I reveal myself." They sighed.

"Okay, my name is Jeon Jungkook, I'm male and I want a better life then the one I have" I said.

"Ugh, fine I guess this works." They sighed, lowering further into the seat.

"My name is Park Jimin, I'm also a male, even though I don't sound like one" he paused, probably to think of how to continue. "And I want to get away from the life I left behind, so I can start a new one"

He turned back to look at me and pulled off his mask and sunglasses. When he removed his hood I saw his face clear as washed glass, I couldn't believe it...
