It started off like any other slow afternoon at Target—fluorescent lights buzzing, faint pop music playing through the speakers, and you trying not to fall asleep at the register.

You were halfway through restocking a shelf when the static of a walkie-talkie crackled through the air.

"Umm guys... there's a butt naked guy in aisle 8.."

That voice—no way. Khan Asadi?

You’d recognize that name anywhere. You’d seen them all over TikTok—Khan Asadi and his two best friends, Junior and Lee—the trio known for their chaotic “walkie-talkie pranks.” They’d walk into random stores with their walkies and mess around until someone inevitably kicked them out. Hundreds of thousands of views every time.

And Khan… yeah, you weren’t gonna lie. He was your favorite. Tall, tan skin, browns curls that always fell over his forehead, and that smirk that made the internet collectively lose its mind.

You heard his voice again and laughed. Your manager didn’t.

“{{user}},” she said, sighing like she’d aged ten years in one minute. “Find them and kick them out." “On it,” you said, trying not to sound too eager.

You followed the screams that one of the guys were making, weaving between aisles until you spotted him—Khan Asadi himself, standing at the end of the electronics section, holding a bright red walkie-talkie up to his lips. He was talking into it like he was on a mission.

And for a second, you forgot you were supposed to kick him out.

You blinked, pulling yourself together. “You know you’re not supposed to be using those, right?”

Khan turned around, lowering the walkie. His brown eyes met yours, wide at first—then amused.

“What?” he said, playing dumb.
