Summary: Jimin needs a new roommate to help him with rent. Jungkook just so happens to be searching for the same. The two meet paths on an app where Jimin had posted his first offer, and they end up watching Christmas movies wrapped up in each other's arms until 2 AM four months later. (That's if you forget the red lingerie and the Santa hat...)
_____________________

Jimin sighed for the third time in five minutes. This was taking far longer than he'd imagined. The man, in his second year on university already, was desperately trying to find a roommate to help him with the rent and monthly expanses. He wasn't completely broken yet, and he was trying to avoid it at all costs. After posting quite the number of offers on all of his social medias and on a website dedicated to this kind of situation, Jimin was dumbfounded. It had been a month already since his first offer had been posted. He thought that since the living price was so high these days, many would jump on such an offer, but he found himself with nothing but a couple of likes on each post. His hopes were left to die slowly for another month before, suddenly, while Jimin was dressing up to go to work one morning, his phone let out a notification sound that he'd never heard before. He looked at it only for his eyes to widen in happy surprise. He'd received a message from a man named Jeon Jungkook on the app where he'd posted his offer a while ago. The man sat down on the edge of his bed, blowing his light purple hair out of his face before taking the phone in his hand to go see what the message was about.

JJK- Hi Jimin-ssi! I've seen your offer a while ago and I found it very interesting. I didn't answer immediately to take enough time to think about it carefully. Now I'm sure of it. If your offer hasn't already been taken by another, I would like for you to consider me as an option.

Jimin let out a victorious sound as he finished reading. Finally, he thought. His first interested person, and as of now he seemed very kind.

PJM- Hi Jungkook-ssi! Thank you so much for voicing your interest, I was actually losing hope that anybody ever would, haha. I was preparing for work at the moment, but would you be free for us to discuss more about all of this this evening or tomorrow?

JJK- Oh sure! Here's my number: ***-***-**** so we can talk more comfortably later on. I wish you a good day Jimin-ssi!

PJM- Have a good day as well Jungkook-ssi! 

Jimin smiled widely as he placed his phone back down on his nightstand. Finally, something minimally positive was happening!

When he came bac from work in the evening, Jimin made himself dinner, and as he was eating, he texted Jungkook on the phone number he'd given him.

PJM- Hi again Jungkook-ssi! It's Park Jimin talking, I thought we could discuss a bit more about the details of things...

Only two minutes later, Jimin received an answer.

JJK- Hi! Yes that would be great. I'm eating at the moment, but would you like me to call you when I'm done? I think it would be easier to discuss this way right?

Jimin stared at the message. The man was a bit socially awkward, so the idea of speaking with a new stranger was a bit stressful, but he did agree that It would be easier this way.

PJM- Right! That would be great. I'll be waiting for your call!

Jimin put his phone down once again and hurried to finish eating. He felt a bit nervous at the thought of speaking to Jungkook.

The sound of his phone ringing minutes later had Jimin jumping slightly. He took it softly to see that Jungkook was actually literally face timing him. He had a mini existential crisis before accepting the call and positioning his phone on the table in front of himself to be seen clearly. A calm, deep voice was heard from the device and Jimin was left to admire the man on the other end. "Hello Jimin-ssi..." Jimin couldn't lie to himself, the man's voice had sweet shivers running down his spine. "Hello Jungkook-ssi! How are you?" He asked, trying to be cheerful. Jungkook smiled softly. His lips revealing his pretty bunny like teeth and Jimin felt himself melting. He didn't know if he could actually get this man as a roommate when only him smiling had him feeling this way. "I'm pretty good, what about you?" Jimin smiled before answering. "I'm good as well." Jungkook nodded from the other end. "So, Jungkook-ssi, Why don't we try to learn a bit more about each other to see if we'd be good matches before actually discussing arrangements." Jungkook nodded once again before answering, his dark hair almost entirely hiding his deep brown eyes. "Well I'll introduce myself first then...My name is Jeon Jungkook. I'm a very ordinary person with a very ordinary life. I'm at the moment studying in photography and videography in hopes of working in my interest fields. As a roommate, I think I would be quite organized, and cleaning is no problem for me. I'm not a very good cook, but I can do well in simple meals. I'm usually a very open person, and I think I get along quite easily with people. I'm not very outgoing in general. I like to stay alone and play games or go out to take pictures of what interesting things I can find. I think that's about it. What about you? Tell me a bit about Park Jimin..." The man finished his speech and Jimin found himself captivated, staring at the man's well defined facial features as he spoke about himself. "Oh..uhm...I'm park Jimin. An ordinary guy as well. I'm at the moment completing my second year of university for management studies. My wish with these studies would be to create a company of my own someday. I'm as a roommate a pretty clean person as well. I do skip the dishes once or twice a week for my own mental health, but that's pretty much it. I would dare to advance that I'm a pretty good cook in general. In my free time I like to paint, write, bake, and I enjoy watching animes sprawled out on the couch for hours on when I'm feeling lazy. I think that I don't have any problems getting along with people, but I do have some standards of personality for the person that'll share my living space I guess. I am searching for someone open minded and generally respectful. Someone that knows how to communicate well also I guess, because I really hate to fight with anyone so if we can communicate well I do think it would help. I'm sorry, I feel like I'm rambling " Jimin finished with a laugh and Jungkook joined him before answering. "No! I think It's important to voice out our expectations in this situation. I feel like we're actually quite compatible. I've agreed to every of your listed standards for now so I guess that's nice." Jimin smiled as Jungkook spoke, feeling more and more comfortable with the man already. "That's great! I feel like we'd get along pretty well too." Jungkook put his hand up as if telling Jimin to wait for him before sneezing two times in a row. The cute gesture had Jimin laughing out loud. Jungkook apologized softly. "Would you like to guide me through an apartment tour? There weren't many pictures on the website, so I don't really know exactly what I'm in for..." Jimin made a sound of agreement. "Yeah, of course!" He took Jungkook in his hand and toured him through the apartment, starting with the kitchen, since he was already in it. "So this is the Kitchen, in here I have everything I believe that we need to survive a zombie apocalypse, Jimin started, turning his phone's camera to show Jungkook. He then walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. Here is the place where I usually enjoy my free time. Which means, this is where I watch anime for hours, but I guess if I have a new roommate I'll have to slow down on this rapidly growing addiction...and I guess that's positive- Jungkook was laughing into his hands as Jimin humorously showed him around- Then here we have a majestic bathroom. Yes it's turquoise, but it still deserves the respect of its users. Out here we have my room, that I will not show because I don't remember if I took care of the clothes on the floor. And finally, here is what could possibly become your very own room. Right now it serves purpose as some kind of little office where I work and paint, but that can easily be given up. This concludes the tour I believe. Do you have questions or requests?" Jungkook was smiling widely when Jimin looked at his phone, which made him smile as well. He turned the camera back to himself and sat himself down onto his couch. "Actually I do have one question for you..." "Yes, go on!" Jimin listened carefully. "Would you like to take me in as your new roommate park Jimin-ssi? Because I don't think I will find another deal better than yours, and I actually think that this could be a fun arrangement." Jimin felt nervous as he listened to the man. Now everything was real. If he said yes, he would soon not be alone anymore in this apartment. The thought was just as nice as it was scary for him, but Jimin knew that he probably wouldn't find a better deal either. "I, Park Jimin, solemnly accept this offer. I will take Jeon Jungkook for legitimate roommate." Jimin spoke in a much too serious tone for what he was spouting. Jungkook laughed at him. This was going to be a whole lot of fun, the man thought. "Well I thought it would be much harder to actually get to an arrangement, but thank you so much for being so kind Jimin..." Jimin's heart fluttered in his chest at the sweet words. This wouldn't be so bad, he thought. "Thank you, Jungkook, for answering to my offer, I was really losing hope out there..." Jungkook nodded at him with a soft smile. "I really love your hair by the way, Jimin. I've been looking at it since earlier, and this color truly suits you very nicely." Jimin's hand went to his face to try and cover his soft blush as he thanked the handsome man. "So when would you like to move in?" Jungkook looked thoughtful for a couple of seconds before answering. "I actually live in my parent's basement actually, so I could move in very soon if you don't mind. I don't have any actual paperwork to take care of in this case is what I mean, so when you're ready I'm ready..." Jimin hummed and nodded. "Well alright then. I'm really ready as well so how about during a weekend close by?" "Perfect, Jungkook smiled softly, I'll pack my stuff for the next weekend, I just need the address and your consent." Jimin snorted. "I'll send you the address and I give you my royal consent." They ended the call a minute later. Jimin throwing his phone at the other end of the couch and smashing his head into a cushion to let out a loud shout, letting out the weird mix of emotions that ate his insides from earlier on. He was so happy to have found someone like Jungkook to share his apartment with, but the thought of having to live with someone this suddenly had Jimin feeling nervous as well. Nevertheless, he went to sleep relieved that night, thinking about Jungkook's sweet smiles and even sweeter voice. He didn't get where the thoughts suddenly came from, but he let himself indulge in them freely.
