lila's washing machine is busted, she tried to turn it on but it wouldn't spin which broke up her morning, so she called the mechanics to come fix it.
the problem is she still needed clean clothes so she puts it all into a basket, puts on jeans and a loose hoodie falling off her shoulder and leaves out the door.
the launderette is a five minute walk and she takes in the morning sun while having a cigarette, dusting it off as she walks.
the store is not that busy when she gets there and she's able to find an available machine to put her clothes in. she pours the powder and the fabric softener into the lid and clicks the right setting before putting some coins in
it will take about thirty minutes to wash so she just sits down and takes out her phone. an elderly man comes in to do his laundry, humming a tune to himself, he says good morning to lila and she greets him back.
she scrolls through Instagram and replies to dms, switching to an ebook that she's been reading.
she hears the door and doesn't look up and that was her first mistake, second is.
"lila?" lila looks up to find jungkook standing before her, his hair is a curly mess today. he looks good in jeans and hoodie unzipped exposing the outlines of his built chest through his white tank top.
if lila dared she'd think he looked cute but she was not in the mood today, this was an unnecessary trip she had to take this morning instead of snuggling into bed for another hour since she's not working today.
"what are you doing here?" she asks and he seems some what frazzled by the question.
"i went to see my tattoo artist, i've got some ink i want touched up on soon." lila is somewhat appeased by that answer, she glances a look at the machine, still fifteen minutes to go. "are you doing your laundry?"
"yeah my machine is busted, i've called some people they'll be here in an hour."
"that's a shame, you can always do laundry at my place, my machine is always rearing to go."
"nah not unless you're going to do my laundry." lila says scrolling through more pages.
"i'll do it." she stops and looks up at him, he stares back somewhat determined. "i'm good at laundry, it relaxes me, so if you need it done i'm your guy."
lila narrows her eyes at him. "you're weird."
"but you find it cute right?" he asks with large eyes, lila rolls her eyes putting her phone away since it seems he wasn't going to leave.
"somewhat."
"i'll take it." jungkook takes a seat next to her.
"aren't you supposed to be working?"
"it's my day off, now i'm stuck doing laundry."
"it's not so bad what are you doing after?" lila hums, to be honest she wasn't sure what she was going to do today, she figures she could catch up on sleep but she's not very tired. or maybe watch a show and cook a new recipe.
"nothing much i'm pretty much hanging." that was a mistake, she could see the way jungkook began to perk up next to her.
"then do you want to go out with me?"
lila sighs, looking over at him disgruntledly. "don''t you ever rest?"
jungkook smiles. "nope not until you admit you like me."
lila scoffs at that, jungkook was definitely getting too bold. even though he was boyish and naive at times, he was also confident with a smug sense of satisfaction.
