[next day, night time]
"Hey," Namjoon says as he tries opening Jimin's door. Jimin's been in there ever since last night and for some reason Namjoon felt a bit worried. He knows he didn't do anything wrong but Jimin was just such a different and interesting person, Namjoon wanted to know what was wrong and also know more about him. Jimin sat on his bed looking at the door nervously, he didn't want to leave at all, feeling so scared. Namjoon leaves the door and grabs the notebook and pen before ripping out a page and sliding it under the door with the crayon."Can you tell me why you're not coming out?" Namjoon asks and Jimin looks at the paper and crayon a bit confused. Why would Namjoon even be worried for him? Or want him to come out? It's the forth day with him and they've barely had any proper interaction yet. Jimin still walks over to the door, picking up the paper and pen but instead of writing the reason why he's locking himself in his room he writes something else.
"Why do you care?" "I don't exactly care but, I just want to know why you're acting like... this," Namjoon says and Slips the paper back through under the door. So Jimin writes down his reason. "I also want you to know that I am nice, you can trust me," Namjoon says which is a bit hard to believe coming from a killer. Jimin then slides the paper back to Namjoon, "you told me you brought me to my bed, I got scared that you did other things," it says and Namjoon hums. "Wouldn't you feel it if I did?" Namjoon wonders and slips the paper back to Jimin.
Jimin thinks for a bit before writing his answer and sliding the paper back to Namjoon. "I would, but it's happen to me so many times that sometimes I don't... just please don't touch me and leave me alone, you should worry about yourself," Namjoon sighs after reading it and now he felt really bad about himself. He's never felt this way really, and it was a big bother, he didn't even know how to deal with the emotion. He can hear Jimin leaving the door and Namjoon sighs while leaning his head against the door. To be honest he also thought that living with Jimin would be a bit more fun than this.
[next day]
Jimin needs to go to work, so he as quietly as he could left his room all dressed and ready before sneaking to the door. As he slips on his shoes he looks over at the couch to see if Namjoon was looking at him or still sleeping. However he wasn't there, and Jimin was a bit confused until he looked at the kitchen and sees Namjoon walking to him. Jimin doesn't wait another second before opening the door and leaving, "hey wait!" Namjoon exclaims and steps out the apartment but Jimin was running and already getting in the elevator.Namjoon sighs and steps back inside until he gets an idea. He gets a mask and a hat to hide his face and then leaves the apartment, going to the elevator and waiting for it. Jimin starts walking off to work after getting off the elevator and soon enough Namjoon arrives at the main floor and sees Jimin leaving. So he simply follows with no rush, wanting to talk to him but also wanting to know where he works so that if anything he can find him there.
So for the hour that Jimin has to walk to get to work, Namjoon stalked behind with no one suspecting him of anything. Once arrived at the diner Namjoon walks around the block to not seem suspicious while Jimin got in a ready for his shift. After walking the bloc Namjoon walks in and takes a seat in a far away corner. He then watched from afar as Jimin starts setting himself up and doing what he's told to do by everyone else.
Then someone comes over to take his order. Namjoon just gets a water and keeps watching Jimin who was cleaning some things and organizing others. Then Namjoon spots Jimin making his water and smiles under the mask. Jimin walks over with his eyes down before placing the water in front of Namjoon, "thanks," Namjoon says and Jimin looks back at him as he recognized the voice. Namjoon looks at Jimin who's eyes widened shocked. Jimin gulps and nods scared before returning to his station.
Jimin did not expect Namjoon to be at his work, and now that he thinks about it he wonders how Namjoon could be brave enough to go outside after all the murders he's done. Yes he's not really wanted in this small town and he's more searched in the bigger towns but still, any wanted person would want to hide forever to not get caught. Plus Jimin also didn't get why Namjoon even came to the diner.
Throughout Jimin's 3 hour shift he was on edge with the fact that Namjoon was there, and Namjoon enjoyed his singular cup of water as well as watched Jimin do his thing quietly. From time to time he came close to Namjoon's table to hand others their food or drinks. Then after the shift was over Jimin collects his things and leaves the diner without even looking at Namjoon. So Namjoon leaves a tip and quickly rushes after Jimin.
"I never thought you worked at a diner," Namjoon says and Jimin ignores him, walking faster. "Hey no need to rush," Namjoon says and Jimin stops before looking up at Namjoon, wanting to seem angry and have him stop being annoying but after seeing his eyes Jimin couldn't bring himself to do anything other than sigh and push Namjoon aside as he keeps walking. Namjoon scoffs and just keeps walking after Jimin. "Why-" Jimin puts his finger over his lips as he looks up at Namjoon and Namjoon was a bit taken back but quiets down.
And for the rest of the walk Namjoon stayed quiet and Jimin just endured the fact that he had to walk with a killer. He really couldn't with this day. Heck he didn't even want to go to work, he just wants to stay in his room and not do anything. Arrived at the apartment building they get in the elevator and Jimin goes all the way to the back after pressing the button, barely giving Namjoon time to get in. The elevator ride was very nerve racking and quiet, Jimin hoped that nothing bad will happen.
When the doors open they both leave and head to the door, Jimin unlocks it with his key and walks in. "Now that we're home, can we at least talk?" Namjoon wonders but Jimin ignores him, just taking off his shoes and going to his room. Namjoon walks after and before Jimin could close the door, Namjoon grabs it and keeps it open while looking down at Jimin who didn't know how to react. He didn't understand why it mattered so much to Namjoon, and he was also getting scared.
"I want you to eat something first, I'll make you food, and we can talk and work things out," Namjoon says very seriously and Jimin goes to follow with his want but remembers that Namjoon doesn't own him and doesn't control him. So Jimin shakes his head and closes the door. "Yah!" Namjoon says as he bangs on it and Jimin grabs the notebook that's in his room and he rips off a page before writing on it. It takes a while but Namjoon stayed at his door asking for it to be open. So when Jimin finished writing it he opens the door, shoves the letter in Namjoon's chest and closes the door once more. Namjoon sighs and grabs the paper before starting to read it.
"Just leave me alone, what's the big deal anyways? Aren't you supposed to hide from people? Isn't that why you made the deal to stay with me? I shouldn't matter to you, and if anything you should be scared now because you're getting really annoying and I really want you gone. We don't know each other either, so just stay out of my business, stop caring,"
Namjoon clenches his jaw and then scrunches the paper in his hand with a sigh before walking away.
