Hey everyone (who are reading this story), I'm really trying to force myself to post updated chapters. I must admit that nowadays it's harder for me to update any of my stories that aren't slice-of-life; just something I realize. Anyway, enjoy.


Chapter 2: Favors

Len's P.O.V.

7:07 p.m.


"I see you updated your playlist! Got some Rich Brian on here" Gumi pipped up as she skipped into the bathroom, holding a can of Cranrita in her hand. I only scoffed as I eyed her while I continued to comb through my hair, standing in front of the mirror.

"Yeah, I've been really into his music lately; mostly Lil Uzi Vert, but yeah." I told her. And with that, she immediately changed the music playing on the portable speaker into Sauce It Up, causing me to give a small smirk as I sat the comb down on the bathroom counter. "I had a feeling you might've loved that song too! Like, for real, the minute I listened to it, I could see you playing it in the morning."

She began to snicker before she passed me the can of margarita.

"You got that right; especially when I'm on my lazy days, quote-unquote that time of the month where I feel sick and don't give a fuck about making an effort; best believe I'll be listening to this while deciding to wear a sweatsuit to work."

Right when she said that, I almost spat out the mouthful of alcohol but quickly swallowed it before another wave of laughter came.

I took one last look in the mirror, feeling good about my outfit.

`I didn't want to try too hard with my look, so I pretty much decided to wear a pair of black sweat pants, a maroon croptop hoodie, and a pair of my maroon chucks. Not much of a difference with my outfit from earlier, but I still wanted to be comfortable.'

Gumi kept the outfit she had on, but only changed her makeup a bit and added a dark burgundy matte lip shade to her lips, put on a pair of gold hoop earrings, and re-did her eyebrows.

"Okay, we look good, and we're on a good scale of being tipsy." I turned to her as I drunk the last sip in the can before tossing it in the trash near the toilet.

"Yup; not overly drunk, but enough to make everything fun for no damn reason" we both laughed right when she pointed it out. But it was then that she pulled out her phone from the side of her pocket and began to type away. "I'm gonna get the Uber, so we should probably start heading outside. They should be here in like, what, three minutes?"

Nodding my head, I turned off the bluetooth speaker and turned off the bathroom light as we stepped out.

`Alright, my keys are in my pocket, phone...' My thoughts trailed as I remembered Gumi had it. `It should be fully charged, so I'm good.' Taking a deep breath, I sped into the livingroom and quickly grabbed my wallet off the coffee table.

Gumi opened the front door and reached towards the kitchen to turn off the last light; and with that, I hurried outside and had her lock the door behind us.

"White Prius, should be pulling up right about now." She said as we walked away from the apartments and close to the edge of the sidewalk, looking to the left to see the car slowly pull in. The man rolled down his window and said, "For Gumi?"

With a quick nod, she opened the door and scurried inside with me following behind her almost immediately.

Within a second, the man began driving.

The silence didn't last long once the man pulled a cord from the front and brought it to the back. "If either of you want to listen to something, feel free to use the AUX cord."

Almost immediately Gumi grabbed it and plugged it into her phone.

"Geez, took the opportunity hella fast." I snickered till she shoved me on the side.

"Shut up, besides, this night goes to our favorite song." She peered at me with a small smirk on her face, while I sat clueless.

But within a few seconds, the melody began to play throughout the car with her turning up the volume high.

It didn't take long for my eyes to widen once I realized which song she was playing.

"I do my hair toss, check my nails, Baby how you feeling? Feeling good as Hell!"

Lizzo began to play, causing the corner of my lips to curve into an uncontrollable big smile. "This is my song!" I nearly screamed as we both began to dance in our seats till she held an invisible microphone over to me for me to sing.

Throughout the car-ride, we pretty much took turns playing karaoke with the aux cord till the driver stopped in front of a club with multiple people standing outside. But as soon as we stopped the music we could feel the vibrations of the music from inside the club.

Gumi raised a brow as she leaned closer to look out my side of the window. "Well shit, at least we don't have to look for Kaito." She mentioned.

`He's outside?' I quickly thought to myself. But before I could think any further, she opened the door and pulled me by the arm to drag me out the car before giving her thanks to the driver. "W-Wait! Which one is he?" I slightly stammered as I almost lost my footing from her dragging.

Instead of answering my question, she persisted in dragging me over to him; whichever one he is. `She's not even giving me a chance to look at him from a distance!' I nervously thought to myself till she came to a sudden hault. And with that, I heard her say, "Kaito! What's up!"

She let go of my arm to go in for a hug.

But as she did so, I took a second to look at the taller guy in front of us.

Part of me wanted to slap Gumi, because she knew damn well he was cute.

His hair was a short and messy blue, and I could tell that he shaved the back although his hair covered over it. Kind of reminded me of Taeyang from the goodboy music video; almost. He had on a black shirt with a ebony Denim jacket over it. Black pants and a pair of black timbs. Before he shoved his hands back into his jacket, I noticed that his hands were tatted up.

...Just damn..

"Is this your friend?" His deep base-like voice snapped me out of my chance. His dark-blue eyes peered down at me, making me tense up a little.

It took for Gumi to scoot closer and Elbow my side for me to speak up. "U-Uh yeah. My name is Len" I then reached my hand out to him. He wasted no time reaching out to shake my hand.

"Cool. Gumi texted me saying that you were looking for someone to style your hair, right?"He then mentioned. I nodded my head in response. "Well, I can try hooking you up at my sisters shop, though I don't often bring people to her for free hookups." He clarified.

Oh? And what's it going to take? Maybe if I have a drink with him and dance against him. Hell; it'd be a win-win situation because he is pretty damn hot.

"I understand" I half-heartedly chuckled. "Should we head in and all get a drink?" I then suggested.

Both Gumi and the bluenette nodded in agreement.

"I'll get the drinks. I heard they got these really good shots called the T.K.O., but they taste really good." Gumi pipped up as the three of us made our way inside, making sure to stay close. But once we were in, we stepped over to the side near an empty table. "Stay here! I'm going to the bar to get them!" She raised her voice so we could hear her.

And within a second, she left us alone.
