first 2PM fic. gah.
my first born baby 2PM fic is dedicated to Kelly (myrobotvoice )~ because she is the Taec to my Jay, and I am the Pink Grandpa to her Okcat.
part 1~
Taecyeon doesn't know how he's never noticed him before. He's always standing at the bus stop, every day, without fail. And always at the same time, always at 2:00.
He's short, much shorter than Taecyeon (but Taecyeon might just be ridiculously tall) and has a much better (if not pinker) sense of fashion than Taecyeon (but that's not that hard to accomplish). He often wears hats and expensive looking shoes, and Taecyeon sometimes wonders what a guy like him is doing in this part of town. But Taecyeon doesn't know the other man at all, and so he pushes the thought out of his mind.
***
It's not until Taecyeon realizes that there isn't a bus route that passes that spot at that time of day that he starts to really pay attention to the man. He looks...to be quite honest, like he's lost. No, not lost. Maybe like he isn't from this area, maybe like he's from some place far, far away. But it looks like he knows what he's doing there, even if Taecyeon has no clue. But the longer and longer Taecyeon pays attention, the more and more it seems like he's looking for someone, waiting for someone to come by.
After a while, Taecyeon begins to see a pattern forming. The other man is only there for about a minute each day, only at 2:00. Which surprises Taecyeon, because it seems that he's seen the other man more than that. Or maybe Taecyeon has just been thinking of him more than he's realized. Either way, it seems odd that someone would stand at a bus stop for such a short amount of time each day. Eventually, Taecyeon starts a game with himself, tries to see if he can spot the other man arriving at the bus stop. But, much to Taecyeon's annoyance, he's never able too.
***
It's a rainy wednesday when Taecyeon finally decides to talk to him. Taecyeon has seen the other man stand in the rain for the last three days in a row without an umbrella, and he can just tell that the man won't bring an umbrella again. And so at 1:59 he walks over to the bus stop and casually waits, ignoring the looks of passing people.
At what he figures to be 2:00, Taecyeon senses more than sees the other man standing right next to him. Taecyeon has gotten over the mysterious way in which the man arrives at the bus stop, and so his sudden arrival doesn't bother him in the least. He simply steps a little closer to the shorter man so that his umbrella can cover him too.
"What are you doing?" It's said in a funny accent and broken Korean, almost as if the other man has just recently learned the language (which would explain why he looks like he's from somewhere else).
"I've noticed you never have an umbrella with you," Taecyeon says simply, shrugging his shoulders. "I thought you might be getting sick of getting wet each day," and he turns to smile with too many teeth at the other man.
The other man cocks his head to the side and studies Taecyeon's face. After what seems like an eternity of scrutinization, the other man simply smiles back. It's not a big smile, nor is it a particularly friendly smile. It's more of a it-took-you-long-enough-to-get-here kind of smile, mixed with a little appreciation twinkling in his eyes.
"I'm Taecyeon, by the way."
The other man continues to smile, and something like amusement flashes across his small eyes. "I know. I'm Jaebeom."
"I know." And somewhere deep inside, Taecyeon really knows this.
