Yongbok's P.O.V:

HECK YEAH! THIS IS IT! THE START OF EVERYTHING!

The start of success. The start of breakthrough. The start of the dream I've been daydreaming ever since i was a kid.

I can feel every fibre of my nerves dancing in ecstasy, adrenaline rushing to each one of my veins. I feel so pumped and energetic today and there's no doubt why. I mean... IT'S THE START WHERE I'LL BE WORKING IN MY DREAM JOB!!

I'll get to meet fresh faces. I could be friends with them as well. I hope they're kind and friendly because i read somewhere from the net that regular and senior workers treat the rookies harshly but i don't want to put that in my mind. I need to be positive about this! I don't want to ruin my good mood.

I'm in the middle of rinsing my hair and my throat was humming melodies of my favorite song, funky town. As you may notice, I'm really into old disco songs. I mean, why not? That era of music is gold!

After showering, i took my towel and damped to some of my body parts dripping with water, then i wrapped it around my waist. My dirty clothes are lying in the laundry basket and i just left them in there, hoping that..hehe...Hyunjin would actually wash them up for me (as per our deal, that's what he said, right?)

I opened the door and pushed it, my other hand slid up to my hair to brush some dripping strands out. My eyes went towards my front, only to jump realizing Hyunjin was standing before me. Coughing like he was choked on his own spit or something.

"Hey, are you okay?" I rushed to him and gently pat his back, looking concerned thinking his sickness is attacking again.

"I'm *COUGH* *COUGH* fine. Just *COUGH*...g-get out of my face." He shoved me to the side, his curled fist punching his chest out. I want to pull that rough hand of his but i know he'd just push me off so i opt to keep my hands to myself.

"O-Okay. Just call me whenever you need help."

He groaned, obviously opposing with my suggestion. "Not gonna happen."

Suddenly, a thought slipped through my head. "Oh right! I forgot! I don't have your contact number. Can I get-"

"-No. Not gonna happen." He was fast to cut me off. Ouch.

"Come on! What if something happens and I'm not here?"

"Then just let me die and leave me to rot like what humans future's supposed to be."

I was stumped. He didn't even stutter saying that sentiment. This man really wouldn't cease to surprise the heck out of me. What did life do to this poor man for him to act out like this? I badly wanna know. "That's.....too dark."

He gave me an eerie smile. "You haven't seen it all yet, kid. But it's still a no. Now fucking go and fucking change and don't stand right in front of me almost practically naked. It's not such a sight to see." His head suddenly looked away from me. I don't know if it was just my eyes making up things but i think i saw his ears flushing in red. Is it hot in here? The AC is on and it's actually making me freezing cold so why he act that way?

Or maybe I'm just hallucinating 'cause it's really freezing cold.

"Alright, geez. I'll get going. But in case you change your mind on exchanging num-"

"No fucking way! Go the fuck away, Yongbok! God! Early in the morning and you're pestering me already." He grumbled and crossed arms. He was the one to shoo me away yet he was the one to leave first, going to who knows where. Early in the morning too and he's already irritated and smoking up. Like, calm down for a while, my Landlord.
