When Two Worlds Collide (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

03: Misfits

***

Namjoon's POV

It has been exactly five days since my new neighbor found out about my destructive hands. On his very first day.

I smothered my palm across my face. That was so embarrassing. The way he looked at me.. holding the door knob.. god. With the way he looked scared of me when we first met, and the fact that he knows all I eat is instant noodles, living in the cheapest and unknown apartment, I bet he thinks I'm a serial killer.

And aside from that, it costed me a lot just to have that goddamned door fixed. I used the monthly allowance my mom sent me, which was actually never enough. That's because she doesn't know I have rent to pay. I lied about staying in my friend's house, just so she will let me go back to Korea.

Of course it's difficult for a student like me to live alone. I can't really afford to take a part-time job because of my clumsiness. I tend to break stuff more than give service. That's why I just stuck with studying.

I'm really not good at so many things, but I am confident in writing music. It's the only thing I'm holding onto. I know someday, someone will be interested in my music. And maybe a company will take me as one of their producers. I guess I just have to wait for my prime, for the spotlight to shine on me.

So to make the long story short, I'll get broke anytime now.

"We're all traveling through time together every day of our lives..."

I rested my forehead over my palm, elbow sitting on my desk. How would I write music with him watching movies in full volume again? And why the hell is the wall paper thin?!

I sighed. How silly of me to think that things can't get any worse.

Taehyung's POV

I took a mouthful of popcorn from the glassbowl while staring at the TV. I'm currently watching my favorite movie 'About Time'. We used to watch this at the convenience store with the owner.

And I'm having the time of my life.

It's my fifth day today in Seoul and I feel successful already. Like what was I so nervous about? Everything's so easy!

Earlier today I finally landed on a job at a classy clothing shop as a salesman. And I am very excited to start tomorrow. I like looking at clothes, I've always done that back in the village's convenience store's magazines. That's why people compliment my fashion sense, they say I can make cheap clothes look stylish.

I also got a few movies and finally got the TV to work. This apartment comes with furnitures and appliances but I haven't used the TV until three days ago. I still have some of my pocket money too, which is my life savings, so I don't think I would go broke especially now that I have a job.

Everything's good. Everything's fine. This is the city life that I'm talking about. Once I earn enough money I'll make sure to bring my grandma and my cousins here. They'd go crazy seeing how awesome things are.

Suddenly, I heard a few knocks on my door. I paused the movie and waited, but the knocks have stopped. Maybe it's from the movie? I rested my back against the sofa and continued watching.
