I'm listening.

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

"I invited my friend to come hang with us, he just moved into a new apartment," Seokjin explained, "You'll like him, I swear."

"No offence hyung but I just came for the free cake," Hoseok mumbled through a mouthful of red velvet, "Thanks, by the way."

Namjoon smiled at Jin while sipping on his americano. Seokjin's heart skipped a beat.

Sure, it may have cost him buying for everyone, but if setting up a double date meant he could get closer to his long time crush and help expert pessimist Min Yoongi finally fall in love at the same time then he would be happily hand over his pay check.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

"Ah, there he is right now!" Seokjin exclaimed as Yoongi casually strolled through same doors as the day before.

"Wait, Yoongi?" Hoseok said.

Seokjin watched as Yoongi's face sunk.

"Oh, so you know him?" Seokjin turned to face Hoseok in fake surprise.

"He's our new roommate!" Hoseok burst into a fit of giggles.

"Woah, it's a small world we live in..." Namjoon

You're an asshole. You're such an asshole. Yoongi signed.

"Hm? Sorry Yoongi I don't know how to sign-"

"He was just saying how funny this is!" Seokjin interrupted Hoseok, ignoring Yoongi's deadpan expression, "Come sit down, I already got you coffee, your favourite."

Namjoon greeted Yoongi politely as he sat down beside him. He eyed Seokjin furiously from across the table, who was certain that Yoongi would murder him the moment they stepped outside.

The three began chatting instantly amongst themselves about people that Yoongi didn't even know. Yoongi managed to pick up on a few things, some Jimin guy was applying to the same college as Taehyung was. But for the most of it he was too busy planning on how he was going to get vengeance on Jin.

(Brutal murder seemed like too much effort, maybe he would just spill coffee over his favourite pink shirt.)

Halfway through Namjoon and Seokjin's 'Which maknae will get laid first in Uni' debate, Hoseok noticed that Yoongi was accidentally being ignored.

"So... Uh... Yoongi, we don't really know much about you yet," He started, awkwardly, yet somehow still retaining his friendly charm, "Care to tell us anything?"

Yoongi's phone was already in his hand and he typed at the speed of light.

I'm not very interesting.

"I bet you are," Hoseok teased, a flirtatious smile beginning to form on his face, "What are you majoring in?"

Music technology.

"Aw, that's so cool, I'm kinda obsessed with rapping-"

"Don't even start these two on music," Jin rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, me and Hoseok actually write and produce rap music," Namjoon remarked, "We occasionally perform too, there isn't enough hip hop clubs nowadays though."

The quartet fell into silence for a moment. Hoseok nervously tried to break it.

"So... Yoongi, where you born mute or-"

"Seriously, Hobi?" Namjoon smacked his friend's arm across the table, "You don't just ask people things like that."

But Yoongi was all too distracted by the way Hoseok's orange hair was tucked back into a black snapback, worn backwards. Honestly, on anyone else, Yoongi would think it was the dumbest look ever, but on Hoseok...

Dammit.

Yoongi stood up and grabbed his bag. Rushedly signing to Seokjin,
This was a bad idea.

As the three watched Yoongi's back, hurrying out the door, Hoseok muttered, "I-I didn't mean to hurt him... "

Namjoon shook his head, while comforting his friend, "It's okay, we know you meant well, Hobi."

Seokjin, being the only one who had a clue why Yoongi was acting like this, got out of his seat and raced after him.

After forcing his way through the busy streets for about five minutes, Seokjin found his friend sulking against a bus stop.

"Are you kidding me, Yoongi?" He called, "What was that?!"

The smaller man scoffed and turned away from the tall figure coming towards him. Seokjin didn't waver.

"Okay, you haven't had the best experience of soulmates, I get that, but running out like that? That was just fucking rude."

At the last comment, Yoongi turned around and approached Jin aggressively, wildly signing.

So I'm the rude one now? Maybe you forgot that I didn't even want to be there! This is all your fault.

"I was trying to help you! That was a once in a lifetime chance, and you- you're being too much of a cynical fuck to see that!"

Go away, Jin. This is my life, not yours.

"Fine!" Seokjin huffed, "But you like him, don't you?!"

The taller finally turned away and strutted off, shouting.

"Don't deny it, Min Yoongi! You like him!"
