BTS-que

Change of scenery

Aria's life slowly starts to take off. She enjoys her work, gets compliments by all the guests and even Jin starts to become very familiar and comfortable with her. She is like a sponge and he shows her things because she is curious about his job. In return, he also listens to her way of working the hall and supports her. He is actually a very nice guy once you get to know him.

One morning, she comes home and the door is open. Inside is a mess. There is no doubt, there has been a robbery. She quickly checks her money, and it's all gone. Her CD's too, and any electronics too. She hears something in the hall and is in a panic. She grabs the phone and the first one she calls, is Jin. Half sleepy he answers his phone. "Yeah?" He asks. "I've been robbed. Oh god I'm so scared, what should I do?" Aria is in tears and trying her best to hold the phone steady but she is shaking so violently. Jin sounds awake almost instantly. "Where do you live? Stay there and lock the door, I'll be right there!" Her voice is shaky but she manages to recollect her adres and tells him before shakingly pressing the phone off. She stumbles to the door and closes it. She looks around in the house and cries. She is so scared.

A knock on her door makes her yelp. "It's me, Jin." She gets up and opens the door with a small heart, her eyes red from the crying. The first thing she does when she sees someone familiar is cry again. She runs into his arms and holds him tightly, burying her head in his chest. Jin is slightly surprised but holds her back, softly petting her hair and whispering calming words in her ears. After the shocking stopped, she looks up and at him. He rubs her tears away and her hair that is a mess. "Poor thing... You look ravashed. There there, don't cry anymore. I'm here now." And he takes a look around the apartment. It is a mess. Not just from the robbery, he can see that the place she stays in is a crappy shithole. "How much rent do you pay for this shite?" "500." "500? Sweetie, you've been ripped off. This is a junkie den, not even worth money, in fact they should pay you to live here." She looks around and realizes that maybe she did was hasty in her house finding. "That's it. Pack your things. Until you find a suitable place, you are crashing at my place." Aria looks at Jin in surprise. He didn't look at her when he said it, and his ears are slightly reddened. "Is that okay? I mean, won't your wife or girlfriend mind?" he turns to her and smiles. "What wife or girlfriend?" "Boyfriend then?" Jin gasps. "Seriously?" Aria laughs. It is the first time she laughed this loud since she came here. Jin is slightly taken aback. When she laughed just now, he could have sworn his heart fluttered for a second.

He opens the door to his apartment. Aria looks around. It is just as she would have thought. It looks clean and organized. Not too many pictures or accessories. Just the basic necessities. She places her bag down and looks around. "So I'll sleep in the couch then?" She asks. He nods. "You'll find that it is very cozy. I don't sit in it often, but if I do, it feels very comfortable. I can only guess that it must be that way to you too. Wait here, I'll get some bedding." And he leaves the room to what Aria thinks must be his bedroom. She looks around and is suddenly hit with tiredness. It took a toll, working a night shift and then being thrown into a frenzy like that. But she feels at ease now, and safe at Jin's place. He comes back with a pillow and some blankets. He makes up the sofa and shows her to the bathroom to undress and get ready for bed.

She comes out in her way to big pijama shirt and her hair up in a bun. A shoulder is bare and she looks like a hot mess. Jin looks up from his paper and almost chokes in his coffee. She turns in to her impromptu bed and yawns. "Aren't you going to sleep?" She asks, while fighting the sleep. "Not really, I was asleep when you called me, and so now I am awake. I will get sleepy in maybe half an hour if I keep doing boring, monotone stuff. But you go ahead and sleep. I'll take this to my room." And he waves the paper. "No...It's okay... I don't want to........ be an..............in....convenience...." Aria is almost asleep. Jin smiles softly while walking to her and covering her more under the blanket. He is touched by her cuteness and strokes her hair away from her face. "Welcome to the night, Aria." And he softly places a kiss on her temple before leaving for his room.
