Kim Seokjin pov 

It's finally Friday! Today is definitely not my week. There was this asshole of a customer who yelled at me since I apparently served him the wrong drink. He asked for a black coffee and that was what he was served. What an asshole. The café is going to close soon. Cashier duty sort of sucks. It's half an hour till closing time. There are still a few hardworking students here. Haizzzz, I wish I could close the café earlier… I'm desperate for sleep. 

The door opens and the tiny bell at the top rings. Great… more customers. All the baristas have gone home which means I probably have to make this coffee. Omg, I need to sleep. I needa take a smoke too…

"Hello, what's your order?" I try not to sound too tired. Why did this customer have to come. I'm definitely not dozing off right now. WAKE UP JIN YOU'RE GONNA MISS HIS ORDER. 

"I would like one café latte, whatever you like, and one Kim Seokjin." 

"Ok, one café latte, one more drink and one Kim Seok-" WAIT A SECOND. 

"Hi Jin! I didn't know you work here." The customer takes off his cap and reveals his newly-dyed purple hair and dimpled smile. Oof cute. 

"Hi Joon! And no I'm not in the menu!" I laugh as I begin making his latte. 

"Do you want to hang out after this? I've been so bored today. Like, watch a movie at one of our places or something?" He asks softly. 

"Ok, since tomorrow's my off day." I beam. I feel like a unicorn just pooped in me. The rainbow feelings! 

I think I may have sort of developed a small crush on Mr. Kim Namjoon but that's not important, at least not now. Maybe it's just after break up shit. Just somehow get some crush on the next guy or something. Whatever. 

"Wait the café is closing on 20min!" I smile and pass him his coffee then takes the nearest table next to the counter and begins to scroll through his feed as the minutes tick by and one by one each customer leaves. 

-some minutes later- 

"So Joon, do you want to stay over as well? I sorta owe you for ER…" 

"Ok? There's nothing else on the agenda besides a movie is there?" I feel my face heat up as Joon grins at me cheekily. Oh gawd. 

"Nope definitely nothing. " 

"Wow your lift looks super similar to mine. The building too… " Joon says as we enter the lift. Oh shit. I forgot. We're neighbours. How did we not bump into each other the entire week though? This is gonna be awkward… 

"Oh wow, this is the level I stay on at my place too!" I force a grin onto my face as I try to keep cool. Joon hasn't seemed to notice anything. Yet… is he always this 'sharp'? 

"Wait a second, this is my apartment…" he unlocks his front door next to mine with his fingerprint. Oh no… I slowly open my own apartment's door and awkwardly walk in… the atmosphere now is so weird. Congrats Kim Seokjin.

-_-

"Oh, so we're neighbours? That's sorta cool!" Namjoon says as he casually makes himself comfortable on the couch while he flips through the selection on NETFLIX. I get a few packets of chips and toss it to him. 

"What do you want to watch? I'm fine with anything… maybe something funny with a good story? Maybe cartoon?" I suggest. 

"What about Sci-fi?" 

"Whatever? As long as you have something good in mind." 

"Maybe How to Train your Dragon?" He suggests.

"That's not Sci-Fi!" 

"Hey whatever!" 

"Okok, let's watch it…" 

-The next day- 

I find myself waking up on the couch, covered in chip crumbs and there's something holding me. It's warm. I don't wanna wake up… 

"Morning! The movie was good!" I hear a low chuckle as a wave of morning breath hits my face. Oh right, Joonie came yesterday… 

"Do you have work today?" I ask, he means his head back on the couch and answers with a groggy 'no'. Cute. 

"It's weird you're my neighbour… at least I know I can come bother you whenever I want… hehehe" Joonie laughs and I smack his face lightly. Mhm… this is comfortable, I don't wanna get up. Now if I could stay like this for at least another hour… I nuzzle into his chest, closing my eyes, hoping to catch a few moments of sleep. Then, my bladder decides it's a great time to tell me I need to pee. Ugh. 

I leap out from Joonie's arms before running to the toilet. Damn my bladder. I can see Joon's slightly shocked face as he slips from his initial position, almost falling off the couch. He looks pretty grumpy… sigh… 

•~•

"Sorry Joonie… I didn't mean to startle you…" I flop back onto the couch groaning. 

"Joonie? That's cute…" he chuckles as he reaches for the TV remote and begins to surf the channels. I smile as I make myself comfortable. Mhm, if only this day could last forever… 

"OMG JINNIE I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A NEW BF!!" wtf who is that? Joonie gets off the couch to turn and see who it is. It's Hobi using the extra key he stole. His boyfriend, Yoongi, trails behind him, looking pretty much dead. 

"Hi Hobi… hi yoongles… " I force a grin onto my face and reach for my pack of cigarettes. Hoseok, I love you, but WHY?? 

"I'm not Jin's boyfriend…" Joonie's voice trails off and the atmosphere becomes awkward and quiet. 

"Oh, hi Grandpa! I haven't seen you since high school!!" Joon suddenly exclaims before reaching to Yoongi to poke his cheeks. Yoongi frowns and rests himself on my kitchen counter, definitely sleep deprived. How are he and Hoseok even dating? Their so different. My gawd, they're even engaged… I suddenly feel a twinge of Jealousy rise in me. Why can't I have that? The surroundings begin to become fainter as I absorb myself in my own world as Joonie catches up with Yoongi and Hoseok basically starts making us instant ramen.
