Dreams of Arcadia

"Oh cool... shall we have a look around here? I'm really interested in how he lives..." said Mingi as he gazed at the portrait in awe.

"That's exactly what I had in mind," I said with a grin and first we marveled at the huge DVD collection that took up almost an entire wall.

"I think he has all the movies that have come out in the last few years..." Mingi marveled. Next up was the kitchen, I would definitely come here to cook more often, he had everything here, you didn't have to go to the stores to get anything... His pantry was bigger than our entire kitchen in the villa... He really liked to eat. While I was still admiring everything here, Mingi called out to me and I curiously followed him. When I found him, my eyes grew wide...

"Oh wow... Didn't he actually say that pink wasn't his favorite color anymore?" came out of me as I looked at his bedroom. It was all white marble, a round bed in the middle so big he could probably sleep in it with all his band members, a bright pink flokati rug covering most of the floor, a movie screen hanging on the wall opposite the bed and a neon-lit glass door fridge next to the bed so you didn't even have to get up to open it. He really liked to eat...even in bed, there was a microwave on the bedside table, which made me smile, he liked to eat, but he was probably too lazy to go to the kitchen for it... what else had he said about Jungkook's apartment? There were mattresses everywhere? But there was a fridge everywhere and he could heat up food from his bed.

"I wonder if in the normal world Jin is lying here on the bed watching a movie while he eats?" Mingi wondered aloud and I immediately had a mental image of him sitting on the bed in just his underpants, with a bib around his neck, while he ate and watched a movie. How the sauce dripped onto his naked chest, he commented on the plot of the movie and spit crumbs... the idea made me giggle immediately.

"I don't know, but I plan to spend a lot of time here... Come on, let's go to the dressing room... " I asked him cheerfully, before walking through the archway where you could already see the purpose of the room. The amount of clothes almost overwhelmed me and I happily rummaged through the shelves and clothes rails, picking out a green and pink Hawaiian shirt that I combined with a black fisherman's hat, white-rimmed sunglasses completed the look, and finally I grabbed a pair of yellow Bermuda shorts and went to change in the adjoining bathroom. When I came back, Mingi was wearing a lilac-colored tuxedo with a white bowler hat and diving goggles, which earned him a grin from me.

Back in the living room, we poured water into the hot tub and turned on some music. Jin's playlist, Kim Seokjin, only included his own songs, to which we danced around the room singing loudly until we got into the hot tub with Super Tuna and continued dancing. We were having so much fun and laughing the whole time when suddenly the music stopped.

Confused, we looked up and saw someone standing in the middle of the room... hair up in little braids with hair ties, a scincare face mask on his face, a pink bathrobe that only went to his knees, Kim Seokjin himself was standing here, a broom in his hand. Raising it high, he stormed towards us while shouting "burglar", which Mingi answered with "ghost" and tried to run away, while I looked after them in disbelief as they engaged in a wild chase through the apartment... oh man... He was dead too? I wonder who else we would meet here?
