Part 1

"Fuck!" Jungkook curses. He kicks the door after, realizing he'd forgotten the password for his new apartment again. Unfortunately for him, today was the day he could potentially get promoted, but that was contingent on his timeliness. He's been interning at a prominent architecture firm for six months now and was hoping for a solid position in the company. Showing up late would definitely hurt his chances. Jungkook groans and runs down the stairs to the front desk. He swore this was his 8th time asking for his code. He arrives at the front desk gasping for air, bent over a bit from exhaustion.

"Hi, what can I help you with?" The front desk attendant spins in his chair, facing Jungkook. Jungkook swears he's moving in slow motion as he's taken aback by the attendants fluffy hair, pretty smile, and soft brown eyes. He smells of fresh cream and vanilla. Jungkook forgets himself a little, and gets lost in his soft features. The man wears a Colombian blue fluffy sweater. His hair is long with bangs that hang just above his eyes. He's distracted by how pretty he is and brings himself back to his worries which now crowd his mind.

"Hey, I'm kind of running late, but I forgot the code to my door and I left my phone inside and I'm running late for work and today is really important and I can't believe I forgot my code again," Jungkook starts to panic.

"Ok, what's your room number?" The attendant's voice is so calming compared to Jungkook's scrambled anxious speech which makes him even more attractive.

"Ummm, 2... 210," Jungkook remembers. The attendant spins towards his computer and begins searching up his apartment.

"Ok the code is 1013." The attendant spins back to face Jungkook with a small grin and tilt of his head.

"Thank you," Jungkook sighs in relief and starts to walk off. Before he can even start up the stairs he forgets his code again. He was already about to be late and his lack of memory was gonna make him even more late. He curses to himself and jogs back to the front desk. The attendant has resumed whatever work he was doing earlier and is typing at the speed of light.

"Hey, excuse me, can you just come up and put in the code for me? I forgot again," Jungkook asks with an awkward smile.

"Ok," the attendant says, sounding a little reluctant. The attendant sighs and gets up slower than Jungkook would like. As soon as the attendant gets around the front desk Jungkook rushes up the stairs, skipping steps as the attendant follows close behind him. Once they're at Jungkook's door the attendant, it seems as slowly as he can, types in the code.

"Why didn't you just write it down?" the attendant asks in a joking tone, looking up at Jungkook. Jungkook blushes a little, realizing how close they are.

"I forgot about that," he chuckles and scratches his head. The attendant giggles and finishes typing in the code. The door handle chimes and unlocks, and Jungkook immediately rushes inside, grabs his phone, and dashes out the door. The attendant is still standing at the entrance, stunned after Jungkook bursts past him. Jungkook continues to run down the hallway focusing on only his promotion. He almost forgets and yells "Thank you" before rushing down the stairs.

...

Jungkook enters his apartment building with a winning grin; he solidified a position at the firm and enjoyed dinner with his boss. He walks into the lobby and notices the attendant still typing away at his computer. While admiring the way the soft yellow light from the lamp at the front desk casts a glow across the attendant's face, Jungkook realizes he never got his name. He approaches the small counter above the desk leaning his weight onto it, and the attendant swivels in his chair to face him. He seems more tired this time as his shift is nearing its end.

"Oh hey, did you get that promotion?" he asks, resting his chin in his hand.

"Yes I did! But I never got your name," Jungkook flirts and flashes a smile at the attendant. The attendant's cheeks turn pink and a slight smirk appears on his face. He couldn't deny that this guy was hot.
