Who Are You?
Axil
What the fck! [break away from his hold]
Axil
Did you just beat up a guy back there?!
Axil
What the fck dude! Get away from me
Angelo
You goddamn idiot, I wasn’t following you, you literally made a u-turn from the street literally across it!
Angelo
Have you no sense of direction?
Angelo
And also, you were about to get kidnapped and if I had not come to save you, you’re dead!
Angelo
[pant a little] Anyways… You’re welcome
Axil
…So that’s why we were running from…
Axil
(Great, now I’m owing someone now and I don’t even know what to do)
Angelo
Now, do you or do you not want me to help you get a place to stay in?
Angelo
‘Cause if you sleep in the streets you will wake up with a dark vision, specifically under a sack or covered by a blindfold
Axil
Don’t scare me like that!
Axil
Fine! I don’t know why you’re acting like this to a complete stranger but I’m gonna hope it’s just your personality
Angelo
Sound a bit grateful at least…
Axil
[not looking at Angelo] My name is Axil Theodor Lane
Axil
[grumpy look] Got a problem?
Angelo
… [think for a sec]
Angelo
[raise eyebrows and smirk softly]
Angelo
Alright, I’ll show you the way as soon as you thank me properly
Angelo
You heard me [leans closer]
Axil
I’ll say it but you have to stop looking at me like that
Angelo
[languid flirty eyes and smirk, with his hands on his jacket pockets and leaning over (a head taller than Axil)]
Angelo
I don’t know what you’re talking about
Axil
[look away trying not to get irritated]
Axil
Whatever… thank you for saving me…
Angelo
And what’s my name? [raise a brow]
Axil
[push him away] And can you stop invading my personal space!
Angelo
[frowns a little] …It’s Angelo
(Again, it’s night so sorry)
Axil
I don’t think I can afford it…
Angelo
Oh right, is that why home wasn’t available for you?
Angelo
But it’s not bad if you don’t check the price first right?
Axil
… [follow him nervously]
Hotel lobby attendant
Good evening- Oh… [recognizes Angelo]
Angelo
[pull up his finger on his lips, behind Axil]
Hotel lobby attendant
… [smile professionally] Are you here to check in?
Axil
Uhm I’m not sure yet but can I see some pictures of some of the apartment rooms and how much is it for an apartment annually?
Hotel lobby attendant
Oh yes… we have a brochure just for that
Hotel lobby attendant
It has everything you need to know…
Axil
[receive the brochure] Oh thank you…
Axil
(Honestly, this is the most fancy one out of all the places I checked)
Hotel lobby attendant
You may sit on the couch and make yourself comfortable [smile]
Angelo
[nod with a small smile]
Hotel lobby attendant
[nod mutually]
Axil
Okay thank you… [looking at the brochure, amazed]
Angelo
[Guide him to the couch]
Angelo
So what do you think?
Axil
[sit down with a worried look]
Axil
Well… Everything’s good…
Axil
[smile but is miserable] Hey, I thought you said this was cheap
Angelo
Yeah… it is, isn’t it?
Axil
(Should I be worried I sort of offended a rich dude…But honestly I can’t be more annoyed right now) [looking at Angelo deadpan]
Angelo
Then here’s an offer [sneer secretly]
Angelo
There’s a special condition with some rooms
Angelo
If you share an apartment room with another person, the price is halved significantly reducing an annual rent payment
Angelo
Tax is another thing but for 10k rent annually
Axil
I’m not fcking stupid, you can’t fool me
Axil
It would be at least 200k! Even if you half that thing
Axil
I may not be good at math but I know as much!
Angelo
You dont believe me?
Angelo
Let’s talk to Ms. Attendant
Axil
Look, I don’t have time to argue with you
Hotel lobby attendant
It’s a promotion ^ ^
Axil
You’re telling me, if I become his roommate it’s only 10k a year
Axil
But if it’s with another person it’s 100k
Axil
Then… [look at Angelo] Who are you!?
Angelo
See? I told you it’s cheap
Axil
10k…from 100k, that’s literally minus tenfold. Are you kidding me? [murmuring]
Angelo
You must be exhausted, sit down for a minute
Angelo
It’s freezing here isn’t it? Sorry, I forgot to turn off the ac when I left here…
Angelo
[came back] Have you eaten?
Angelo
[take off his jacket]
Angelo
Hm? [walk to the couch and sit beside him]
Angelo
Alright, let’s just order some [take out his phone]
Axil
(What in the world of fantasy is this?!!?!)
Axil
Angelo! [suddenly stood up]
Angelo
OH, what the heck you surprised me…
Axil
Tell me are you a son of some president of a company?
Axil
An heir to be the CEO?!
Angelo
What the fck are you talking about??
Angelo
I’m just a senior highschool student living his life
Angelo
[sigh and turn his focus on his phone again] ...
Angelo
Maybe you read too much novels and stories for your own good, you come up with sht like that
Angelo
Although you don’t look like one who reads stuff like that
Angelo
You really can’t judge a book by its corver, huh?
Axil
… [look strangely at him]
Angelo
[tap his phone] Okay… Fried chicken is on the way
Axil
(I can’t believe I’m owing myself to this guy)
