Jimin woke up and groaned while holding his stomach and his head, which were killing him. "Go back to sleep, it's only six in the morning," Taehyung murmured in his sleepy posture from the floor.
Jimin dove across Taehyung and picked up a bottle of water from the table. "Why are you on the floor?"
"I am very down to earth," Taehyung's eyes popped open as he uttered softly through his parched mouth and closed his eyes again.
"Your drool is all over the place, babe. Get up and clean it up before I ban you from my premises." Jimin slumped back on the couch carefully.
"You are such a buzzkill, Jimin. Why did I become friends with you?" Taehyung poked his ass in the air and then bent in a fetal position to sit straight. His face was marred with white dried drool streaks, and so was the rug.
"You needed a good-looking friend." Jimin reminded him.
"That," Taehyung perked his brows and nodded while pointing his finger at his best friend. "You have got a point there."
"What do you want to eat?" Jimin groaned lowly, yawning.
"Why are we always talking about eating?" Taehyung contemplated as he looked at nothing with a puffy face and hair spiked in all directions, including upwards.
"If we didn't have to eat, I don't think we would have any trouble. I would never work in my entire life." Jimin responded wearily.
"How about we eat Ramen in the convenience store today? Cheap, and nostalgic breakfast."
"You are paying." Jimin grinned and got up to stalk to his bathroom while Taehyung stood up, holding the table's foot to maintain his balance. He looked at the guest bathroom with his dead eyes.
Meanwhile, after a shower, Jimin walked into his room and drew the curtains from the window, his eyes falling on another window in front of him at Jungkook, who was laughing and rolling over the bed as the man he had seen earlier in the convenience store tickled him.
Jimin felt a little jealous, imagining what would it feel like to have a boy like Jungkook in his arms on a day like today. He missed being in a relationship, waking up next to someone sleeping, and having sex every night and every morning. He sighed, well aware and quite inquisitive of the existence of the new neighbors, whose half of the bedroom was clear from his view. "JIMIN!" Taehyung hollered and that broke the trance of the owner of the house.
"Who died?" He rushed out and glared at his friend.
"Boss called. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Taehyung yelled frantically and moved round and round.
"Do you have to go now?" Jimin raised his brows, glancing at the wall clock with a frown.
"Yeah, I bet it was that bitch's site. I am sure she must have asked the boss to send me there instead of her."
"Who? Krystal?" Jimin asked with a confused expression.
"No! Juhmi." Taehyung grimaced and started to get naked in front of Jimin, trying to get into the clothes he had worn yesterday.
"The one you slept with?" Jimin re-confirmed and turned his face around when Taehyung pulled his pants down.
"Yeah," Taehyung tucked his shirt in his pant and gazed at Jimin's back. "Why did you turn around? Aren't you gay and interested in men?" He asked.
"True," Jimin said, without turning back, "just not interested in your hetero ass." He spoke with a toothy smile and Taehyung shook his head.
"Sorry about the breakfast, but I can order something for you on the way," Taehyung suggested while picking up his scattered wallet content from the floor.
"Just go," Jimin spoke.

As Jimin sat on a chair outside the convenience store to eat alone under an umbrella, a child walked up to him. He looked around to see if there was any adult accompanying the little girl. "What do you want, baby?" He asked.
The girl pointed inside the store. "Chocolate." She answered in a low voice.
Jimin picked the girl to place her on a chair beside his own. "Stay here. Oppa will go and get you chocolate, okay?" He pointed his finger to give a clear indication, and the little fluffy girl with two pigtails nodded.
Jimin walked inside the store and picked up a bar of chocolate. He was about to walk out, but his eyes fell on Jungkook picking a box of mint chocolate. He didn't know how, but he was petrified for a few seconds before he realized he wasn't breathing as if he was caught red-handed during the theft. He had seen this boy having sex, he had been stalking him and his boyfriend through his glass window.
But Jungkook didn't know that.
Realizing it, Jimin gulped a mouthful and stepped back hastily. Without turning back, he rushed to bill the article and walked out of the store, only to find that the girl was gone.
Jimin looked around as he walked back to his chair to clean up his empty Ramen cup. "OPPA! My chocolate." He heard the girl's voice again.
Snapping his neck around him to find her, he spotted her clinging to Jungkook's legs. He watched them, wanting to say something, but what could he even say? Hi, I am Jimin, I see you and your boyfriend making out from my window. Jungkook looked perplexed but he smiled, however.
"Hey, little girl. What's your name?" The 20-year-old asked, patting the girl's head.
The girl didn't reply.
Jungkook crouched down and looked at her drooling over his box. "These are mint chocolates. I don't know if you'll like them." He laughed and the girl pouted, in order to cry.
Jimin suddenly stood up, "here." He said, offering a bar to the girl and she mischievously looked between the two of them, now wanting to get two chocolates.
Jungkook looked up at Jimin and smiled slightly. "Is she with you?" He asked.
"No."
"Then why are you giving her a chocolate?" He asked expeditiously, his forehead appeared with creases and he protectively stepped ahead, pulling the little girl behind him.
Jimin watched the action and it made him laugh ridiculously at the insinuation. "I don't know her, but she came to me and asked for chocolate. I had just gotten this from inside." He clarified before Jungkook could mistake him for a kidnapper.
"Oh!" Jungkook glanced down to see the girl now clinging to his left leg. He pulled her away gently and held her hand to walk towards Jimin. "There is no one here." He also examined around.
"I know... How can they leave a three-year-old alone on the road?" Jimin checked the surroundings one more time but mostly, he looked at Jungkook. He just couldn't help his eyes that wanted to stare at the good-looking boy for some more time.
"There you are!" Suddenly a couple walked out from inside the store and both Jimin and Jungkook looked back.
"Thank you for holding her." The man praised Jimin and Jungkook graciously.
"It's no problem." They both replied in unison and then chuckled, looking at each other.
"My brother had come to live with us for some time, and now that he has left, she thinks that everyone is her uncle. I am so sorry if she troubled you." The man apologized politely.
"No problem, she is really cute." Jimin handed her chocolate and the girl made grabby hands before her father took it from Jimin and offered to pay him.
"Please, no. It's nothing." Jimin denied taking money for just a bar of small chocolate. "What's her name?"
"Dahlia."
