not what i was looking for | nct 127

wednesday morning felt refreshing, having your mind set on finding a job as soon as you could.

you woke up to have some light breakfast, washed some dishes and finally went to wash up in the bathroom. though, your walk was cut short as yuta walked out of his room.

"good morn-" you say but didn't even finish as he walked straight to the bathroom and shut the door.

"alright then..." you give up on that and grabbed your laptop from your room.

then you head back into the living room to get some sunlight while you do your much needed research.

after yuta got out of the bathroom, you went in there to do what you had intended to earlier.

finally feeling fully freshened up, you went back to your laptop in the living room, driving to take a break only after an hour of not finding anything decent.

suddenly, your phone rings and you check to see the caller id. of course if was none other than your cousin, donghyuck. he must've heard about your situation from your mom. gossip spreads fast in your family.

groaning, you pick up the phone. thinking that you needed to talk to another human being at the moment.

"yes, you're calling y/n. how may i help you?" you speak first, jokingly in a monotone voice.

"y/nnnn" he drags out your name 'cutely.'

"what do you want donghyuck?" you straight up ask because he sometimes likes to ask for money.

"i'm not gonna ask you for money if that's what you're thinking" he responds quickly and you roll your eyes.

"alright then what is it?" you try to get to the point.

"i heard you've been kicked out of your apartment" he starts off. "how are you doing with that? are you homeless?" he asks nonchalantly.

"i am not homeless, i found a shared apartment for the time being" you sigh at his antics.

"oh, really? how is it?" he asks curiously.

"well, it's alright. i can't really complain since i'm also on break from work" you tell him.

"on break? why?" he continues to ask, trying to get every detail.

"i haven't been doing well, just been stressed. my boss told me to take a break so i'm looking for a casual job in the meantime" you explain.

"have you found a job yet? you're in the city, right?" he says.

"i was looking online until you called me, it's only been a couple days. and yeah, i'm still living in the city" you reply to him.

"if you don't find anything, i know a certain place that has an open spot. just let me know and i'll hook you up" he says in a laidback manner.

"how do you know people in my city if you aren't even nearby?" you ask him in confusion.

"i just do. anyway, tell me more about your roommate life" he disregards your question.

"what about it? you're just making fun of me ever since i claimed i was always going to live alone, aren't you?" you ask quite annoyed as you hear his muffled laugh through the speaker of your phone.

"ah, you got me. sorry, but i'm interested too. so go on, tell me" he asks again.

"well, first of all, they're guys" you start off to which he gasps at.

"it's not just one, it's two!?" he exclaims rather dramatically.

"not two..." you say slowly.

"three!?" he asks in shock.
