From Mike's view "Do I just wait here...?" Mike mumbled to himself as he adjusted the backpack that was slung on his shoulder. He had just landed in America, where Y/N had asked him to work at one of her shareholders' companies for a few months before transferring to the SB Films Corps headquarters. Apparently, she had a request to film a season of a famous Korean drama so the headquarters was a mess. Her shareholder in America just so happened to need some cameramen to film an advertisement for his product, and thus he was assigned there.
So there he stood in an airport, in an unfamiliar country, with a backpack and a luggage in hand, looking like a broke college student. He sighed. Why is Lady Luck never on my side? Did I offend her in my past life? "Mike Smyth?" a voice spoke, snapping Mike out of his thoughts.
He turned around to be met with a pair of ocean blue eyes. The negativity disappeared and he was left with warmth and calmness. His face had a noticeable pink hue. "Y-yea, that's me..." he managed to stutter out as he stared at the person in front of him.
From Collins' view Collins stared at the ravenette in front of him. The male had a pale complexion and emerald eyes, which were slightly hidden by his tousled hair. He didn't have dimples (not that he needed them because he was quite handsome anyways) and had a small yet refined nose. His lips were perfectly sized and were glossy from the lip balm on them. He was slightly shorter than him, he couldn't really tell how fit he was since he was wearing an oversized sweater and slightly baggy pants. He looked perfect, and Collins couldn't help but have an internal panic attack.
"Mike Smyth?" he asked, though he didn't recall his mouth moving. The male, who seemed to have been in a daze, turned to look at him. Damn, he looks even prettier up close... "Y-yea, that's me..." Mike stuttered. Collins struggled to keep in his fanboying. Must not embarrass self. MUST. NOT. EMBARRASS. SELF. "Cute." he stated. I have officially blew it. He saw Mike blow up into a bright red and become a stuttering mess.

The two male's sat in Collins' car in an awkward silence. "Um... why don't we listen to some music?" Collins suggested. Mike mutely nodded. Collins muttered a silent prayer. God, please. Please tell me he'll like this song. He scrolled through his playlist and clicked on the only song he favourited.
The beat started to play and Mike's eyes widened and the songs choice and he chuckled lightly. Collins glanced nervously at him. Is the chuckle a good thing? A bad thing? WHAT DOES IT MEAN DAMN IT?! He felt a bead of sweat roll off his forehead. Please be a good sign. Please be a good sign. Please be a good sign. Mike opened his mouth, and what Collins least expected happened.
Drop top Porsche, Rollie on my wrist~ Diamonds up and down my chain~ Cardi B, straight stuntin', can't tell me nothin' Bossed up and I changed the game~ It's my big Bronx boogie, got all them girls shook~ My big fat ass got all them boys hooked~ I went from dollar bills, now we poppin' rubber bands~ Bruno sang to me while I do my money dance like ayy~ Flexin' on the 'Gram like ayy~ Hit the Lil' Jon, okay, okay~ Oh yeah, we drippin' in finesse and getting paid, ow~
In the middle of Mike's rapping, Collins recovered from his initial shock and had a smirk plastered on his face. He sang along to the song.
Ooh, don't we look good together? There's a reason why they watch all night long~ Yeah, I know we'll turn heads forever~ So tonight, I'm gonna show you off~
(A/N to those who don't know, this song is called Finesse. It's by Bruno Mars featuring Cardi B and it was played in The Late Late Show with James Corden's series, Carpool Karaoke, when he invited BTS)
They continued singing and ended the song with a cheer filled high-five. Mike let out a relieved sigh. "Thank God you chose that song... I don't think I can rap to any other." Mike said. Thank God indeed. "You were great! I totally wasn't expecting that!" Collins laughed. And just like that, the once awkward air was filled with laughter and warmth.
They arrived at Collins' house, and Collins helped Mike with his luggage. Mike stared at the house in awe. "Your house looks cozy..." Mike muttered out with a smile. "Y-yea..." Collins replied. It was quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a shout from the window of the second floor.

"Huh...?" "Oh God, MIKE GET OUT OF THERE!!!"
Seeing Collins' panic, Mike jumped from where he stood and ran to hide behind Collins. He was quite thankful he did so as he saw a person fly out the front door and run to his previous spot. "COLE DID YOU FINALLY FIND YOUR SOULMATE???" the voice yelled.
From Mike's view "CHARLIE GO AWAY YOU'RE SCARING HIM-" "BUT YOU'RE GETTING OLD AND YOUR SOULMATE STILL HASN'T APPEARED-" "SHUT UP I'M NOT THAT OLD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ANYWAY?!" "I WANTED TO VISIT, OBVIOUSLY!" "OUT OF ALL TIMES?!"
"ENOUGH!" another voice yelled. Jeez, what's with all these new voices popping out of nowhere, author?! Mike saw 'Charlie' and Collins sweat drop nervously. "Hi Eleanor..." they said. "If I have to deal with your bullshit so early in the fucking morning again, I will throw my pet snake in both your beds... Entiende?" 'Eleanor' scolded. "Sí Eleanor..." they replied. Why do they look like kicked puppies...?
"Oh my, I didn't know you were bringing your soulmate back home, cuñando." Eleanor said as she threw a quick smile at Mike. "I'm not sure if he's my soulmate... but this is the colleague that'll be staying here for a few months. The one from London. His name is Mike." Collins explained.
"Mike, this is my older sister Charlie and her wife Eleanor." Collins introduced. Mike let out a small 'hi' and tightened his grip on his backpack. This is going to be a long few months...
