Today, I finally have the day off from work. So, now I'll be able to catch that mailman in the act and accuse him of his wrongdoings which caused me so much trouble.

I wake up at about 11 am and wait. It doesn't take long until I get bored so I decide to think of ways to trick him and go through ways of making hi see that he was wrong. Okay, what if I...well, what if I...? Ugh, how do I think of the perfect scheme to annoy someone? Something so beautiful and wicked that he'll be shamed every time he delivers mail. I need something that will make him confess all his sins to his mother. I twist my lips into a wicked smile to help with the conniving aura...but, it's just not my area of expertise. However, it is Namjoon's area.

I pick up my phone and search for Namjoon's name in my contacts. I press the green call button and wait for him to pick up. He answers in a tired, groggy voice, "What?"

"What do you mean 'what'? Can't I call a friend once in a while?"

"So I'm your friend now? Good because I wasn't sure if we came out of the acquaintance area and it was just really confusing."

"What the heck? Whatever, can you just help me with something real quick?" He says OK so, I continue by telling him my newly intense want- no, need- to prank the mailman. After I finish telling him my plans I wait for him to respond. Instead, it's just silence, "Hello...hello?" Nothing. I look at my phone and the green background that was behind his name and number is now orange, signifying that he hung up. "But I thought he'd be excited."

Before I have time to think more about why he hung up, I got my answer. Someone was knocking on my door and ringing the doorbell. I look over to the electronic screen on the wall to see who it is. Kim Namjoon. Hunched over and panting. I walk over to the door and open it to see him stand up straight and give me a big smile. "I came as soon as I saw potential in your awesome plan." Wow. Why is he always excited when he wants to cause trouble?

I pull him inside, stick my head out the door, and look both ways to make sure there are no witnesses. Then, I close the door, swing around with my back to the door and look at Namjoon seriously, "Okay, how do you think we should do this?"

He looks at me surprised for a second and then grins menacingly.

-----------------------------------------------

We decided to play the prank out in two separate places, my apartment, and Namjoon's next door. We'll see how Namjoon's part plays out. Next was the camera. Since tampering with mail is a federal crime we decided to film this quite illegal event. Lucky for us, Namjoon has a few cameras from filming his music videos for us to hang on the wall outside my apartment. Now we wait.

It isn't long after Namjoon leaves to his station when the mailman comes. I hear the mail being pushed through the mail slot and fall into my little basket. I jump up and make sure Namjoon's mail is in the pile for evidence purposes. It's there. I swing open the door and jump out into the hallway, excitement flowing through me, "Ya! Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

He turns around, astonished, and bows, "I'm just delivering your mail. Is there a problem?"

"Yes, there is. Ever since I moved here you've been puting my neighbor's mail into my slot and now because of you I've been forced to associate with that mess!"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about." Hm. I give him a smirk and point to the camera as I ask if maybe the camera might know what I'm talking about. He looks scared now and rubs his hands together in a pleading way, "Please it was an honest mistake."

"An honest mistake that occurred for almost a year? You know it's a felony to tamper with mail?" He nods and I feel bad for a second- this guy is so cute! His full lips turn into a sad frown as he pleads for the sake of his job. "I'll let you go, but I need you to deliver this package for me." I give him a grim smile as I walk into my apartment to get a sealed package next to the door. I have to slide it along the floor out of my apartment because it's too heavy for me. Namjoon had the idea to take his weights and put the in the box for delivery. The package is meant to be delivered to his house, but hopefully, the mailman doesn't realize until the last minute. "Here," I say grunting, "It's a little heavy."
