chapter 01

The morning sun shone through the thin curtains, casting its golden rays onto Jimin's face. He groaned as he pushed himself up from his bed, sitting upright on his mattress to look at the digital clock beside him. It read, 6:30 AM. Jimin could only see one person who would be awake this early in the morning, and that person was Taehyung, a best friend and roommate of Jimin's for two years now.

He shuffled off his bed and quickly grabbed a pair of briefs, sighing, as he stepped into the bathroom to wash up. He made sure that everything was clean before heading out of his room towards the kitchen, where Taehyung was sitting on the couch having a plate of bacon and eggs. "Morning, sleepyhead," he said. "How would you like your eggs today?" Taehyung said teasingly as he turned around to face his best friend.

Jimin just stared back blankly at him.

"Hey, are you feeling alright? You seem sort of out of it today," Taehyung's smile faltered after a couple of seconds into a pout, concern coloring his words. "Didn't get much sleep last night, did ya?" Jimin shook his head, as he gave a knowing look to his best friend.

"That's what I thought. Come, sit down on the couch." Taehyung smiled brightly, patting the spot next to him as he stood up getting ready to walk to the kitchen. "Do you want a cup of tea or coffee? Maybe some toast too? Oh! Or a muffin. Do you want any muffins?" Taehyung said excitedly, hoping to get rid of the dullness present on Jimin's face.

Oh, how Tae knew muffins were Jimin's favorite. In fact, it was his comfort food. There was just no way he could pass on some delicious blueberry muffins that he knew were in the fridge right now, waiting for him to devour.

To Tae's expectation, Jimin's face lit up, "One blueberry muffin, please! Thank you Taetae, you always know how to make me feel better," Jimin sighed contently, smiling gratefully at his best friend. Taehyung's grin grew even wider, as he walked over to the fridge.

After a few minutes of microwaving, Jimin happily dug in, humming a tune to himself while he chewed on his muffin. "Thanks again for this Tae," Jimin mumbled around a mouthful of muffin.

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh as he watched his roommate shove the muffin in his mouth in lieu of words.

They sat on the couch for almost half an hour talking about random things that came to mind, before Taehyung excused himself to go take a shower. Jimin was left to finish his muffin in peace as he leaned against the armrest.

Just as he was about to wash his plate of muffin crumbs, his phone buzzed as it chimed with a notification, signaling that someone had messaged him. He lazily reached for his phone, opening the message.

The screen brightened immediately and his eyes scanned over the message, widening in surprise. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips before he could stop himself.

'Good morning <3 Hobi is right outside your door, to pick you up! I've got you your usual Starbucks order as well, so hurry up before I drink it all up!' The message read, accompanied by an image of a strawberry cheesecake frappuccino with Hoseok's signature finger heart next to it.

Jimin rolled his eyes fondly and hurried upstairs to his room to dazzle himself in jewelry and makeup. Jimin was always the type to overdress, it made him feel pretty.

He made sure he had grabbed everything he needed before running out the front door, quickly sending Tae a message saying that he'll be off to his dance academy.

His steps halted and his heart skipped a beat at the sight of Hoseok sitting in his car, wearing a simple white hoodie yet still managing to look so handsome in it. "Good morning Jiminie!"

Hoseok greeted enthusiastically as he handed Jimin his drink. "Ready to go, gorgeous?"

"Yes, Hyung!" Jimin replied cheerfully. He slid into the passenger seat of the car, buckled himself in, and sipped his strawberry cheesecake frappuccino in delight, "you didn't have to pick me up though, it's not like you live close by," he pointed out. His voice seemed more cheerful than usual despite how tired he must have been from being unable to fall asleep last night.

Hoseok let out a small chuckle, pulling away from the curb as he spoke, "But I wanted to. Now hurry up and be my passenger princess. Blast anything you'd like! We can grab lunch after our classes," Jimin looked at Hoseok fondly as he nodded, and shuffled his everyday playlist.

Jimin might just have a slight crush on his senior, Hoseok.
