Namjin; Together Forever

Chapter 30 - New arrivals

"They're going to be here soon guys! Come on there's dust everywhere!" Jin stated frantically, preoccupied with his cooking. "Alright mom" Namjoon teased, already with a duster in his hand, "Well these guys could actually be nice, we can't afford to turn them away because the dorm is a mess". Hoseok was busy hoovering the place while Yoongi was arranging more beds in the bedrooms, to say they were making a bit of a fuss was an understatement.

Jin was preparing a nice meal for the newcomers, also because they hadn't eaten properly in a couple months, mostly living off instant ramen. Two new boys were supposed to join tonight, not necessarily arrive together but they were coming to stay at the dorm. As far as the guys knew, this was to be the final group, no more annoying assholes - or at least they hoped. "Guys, I don't mean to panic you, but I think one of them is here" Yoongi said, making Hoseok unplug the Hoover and jump excitedly over to the window.

"Guys guys, don't look so intimidating! Who knows how old he is, looks like he's younger than us" Namjoon said, pulling their eager eyes away from the window. "I'll go see if he needs help with his bags, you quickly put away whatever is left out" they all nodded, following their leaders orders, Yoongi and Hoseok putting away their cleaning bits quite quickly.

"Ah, so you're not from too far away then?" Namjoon smiled, pushing the door open to where the other three were excitedly waiting. "Guys, this is Kim Taehyung, another Kim can you believe that?" He laughed, patting Tae on the back. "Hi!" Hoseok said the most enthusiastically, coming over and shaking his hand. "Oh sorry, you have bags! Let me help you, do you want to stay in me and Yoongi's room?" He gestured towards him.

Tae looked a bit blank and confused, peeking up at Namjoon "Guys, come on introduce yourselves first" "I'm Jung Hoseok! Hi!!" he was practically bouncing, "Seokjin, Kim Seokjin" "Hey, Min Yoongi". They all began talking, finding out that Tae was from Daegu, was a 95 liner and such other information. Seemingly, he was extremely shy, whether he was just nervous since he was new, homesick or if he was always shy, they didn't know. "Umm.. Where should I put my stuff? I don't want to make a mess, it seems like this place is really clean.." he said innocently making Jin say 'aww' in his head.

"Well, we were discussing that we should wait until the other one arrives to sort out rooms for good, don't worry you aren't making mess" he nodded, brushing his fringe out of his eyes slightly.

About an hour or so later, the door was heard again, a guilty Namjoon realising that it was raining and the next boy was going to be soaking. He opened the door quickly, barely looking at him before he was gesturing for his bags, thankfully, he didn't have many. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to leave you out there, I would've carried these for you and-" "Oh, it's okay" he laughed sheepishly, eyes looking through his black hair, a small smile evident.

Once inside, all eyes were on the small boy, his bags were placed near Taehyung's and Namjoon had already found a towel for him to dry off with. "So sorry, this isn't exactly first class service" he laughed, putting a hand out. "Kim Namjoon, I'm the leader" "Um.. Park Jimin" he said quietly, looking around the dorm. They all introduced themselves, Taehyung in particular took a lot of interest to the boy since they were the same age. "Jin hyung? Is the food ready yet?" Yoongi asked, he was starving and had been dying to have a taste of the lovely smells that had been wafting around the dorm all day.

"Ah, yes yes, if you'd all like to take a seat". Being a small apartment (if that) the table was on the floor, no chairs, and so they had to sit cross legged, everyone just about fitting around it. Jin came out of the kitchen holding a big pot, placing it on a cooling rack in the middle, along with some other bowls of noodles, dips and salads. The main meal, inside the pot, was a nice beef stew, with all sorts of lentils and herbs, seasoning the beef and vegetables inside. All mouths were watering at the sight and scent, "Let's eat!".

"So, I'm guessing you two want to room together?" Namjoon asked the two new boys, already hitting it off really well. Jimin giggled, nodding, "You know, I'm not even that far from home but I still miss them, god it's only been a couple of hours.." "I know what you mean" Tae said a little glumly, Jin and Namjoon glancing at each other; realising that he was really homesick. "Don't worry, we can be a big family!" Hoseok cheered, seems like his small glass of wine had gone straight to his head. "Anyway, you two okay here? If you need anything you can always ask" "No no, uh, thank you! You are so kind" Jimin stuttered, still a little nervous.

"Anyway, here's to the group! Let's hope we can all do good things together in the future!" they raised their glasses, Hoseok sloppily clashing his against the others, cheering a loud "WOOOOOOO!" straight down Tae's ear before he resumed eating. Once they were all finished, it was pretty late and they had to be up the next day. So, Tae, Jimin and Hoseok had taken one bedroom leaving Yoongi, Jin and Namjoon with the other. An exchange of 'good nights' were slurred from their tired voices, Yoongi flat out pretty much as soon as his head hit the pillow. Jin was just combing his hair in the mirror when Namjoon came up behind him. "Thank you for dinner Jin, it was amazing" he gave him a quick peck on the cheek, then held his hand to pull him to bed.

"Namjoon, we have to be careful!" he said authoritatively, giving him a playful glare. Though, he couldn't help the small grin that appeared on his face when Namjoon leaned in to give him a tender but gentle kiss on the lips. "Goodnight baby", he whispered.
