"hey neighbour!"

i turned around and saw hoseok outside my apartment. i gave him a questioning look.

"not trying to be rude but what are you doing here so early in the morning. it's just 6," i said glancing at my watch.

"oh. i am going to university," he replied with a smile.

"university? "

"oh! i am teaching in a university nearby."

"which one? "

"yeonhwa university," he replied and started walking with me towards the elevator.

"yeonhwa uni? " i asked myself not knowing hoseok could hear me.

"yeah. why? "

"oh. i study there!" i answered him with a small smile.

"really?! what major? " hoseok was quick to ask me.

"um. literature. "

"i teach literature there! " he exclaimed with a big grin and i actually thought that he was an actual sun.

"i didn't see you yesterday," i said.

"i'm starting today. "

"ah. best of luck for the teaching, hoseok! " i cheered with a fighting gesture.

"thanks, yun! "he ruffled my hair and continued, "let's walk together, shall we? "

"okay. since i don't have any friends," i replied and got out of the elevator followed by hoseok behind me.

the way to university was full of random comments and topics to talk about. i came to know that hoseok, yoongi and jimin were friends since childhood. at least that's what he told me.

he enjoyed dancing and singing while yoongi enjoyed rapping and jimin enjoyed dancing and singing. don't ask me how i know about it. this person beside me won't stop talking for a single second and told everything about all three of them.

reaching the university, i bid my goodbye to hoseok and went to my class which was filled with chatters from the students.

hoseok came to teach us literature. and i must say he is a very good teacher. he seems too young to be a professor in university.

the day ended in a peace and i walked towards the gate. i saw hoseok standing there. i walked to him and greeted him with a smile.

"what are you doing standing here? " i questioned him.

"i waited for you. and here is yoongi and jimin too! they came to pick me up to eat something but i insisted on waiting for you so they ended up waiting," he replied gesturing toward the two tall males with dyed hair.

"ah. thank you for waiting," i bowed to them.

"no problem, we don't have any work either," yoongi replied with a shrug.

"now come on! we have to go! i'm hungry, yun! " hoseok dragged me with him. yoongi and jimin were trailing behind us.

"here's your order sirs and ma'am, " the waitress said with a smile towards us.

smiling back at her, i picked up the meat and started grilling. we are currently in a barbeque restaurant, hoseok sitting in front of me with yoongi on his right while jimin sat beside me.

we started eating in silence but was soon broken when yoongi cleared his of throat. i looked towards him.

"so yun, tell us about yourself. since your relationship with us is our neighbour, we need to know about you too," he stated calmly.

"oh. my name is lee yun. i am 18 years old and study in the university hoseok teaches," i said to yoongi "and any thing more you guys want to know? "

"nope. that's enough. and treat us with respect we are older than you," he smirked at me.

i just nodded and shoved the food down my throat since not eating during lunch had starved me.

"how are you eating so much?" yoongi asked while eyeing me eating.

"hey! i didn't eat anything during lunch alright! and a girl has her needs and mine happened to be food."

"then eat well and grow well, " jimin joined in.

i nodded again and continued eating while hoseok, yoongi and jimin seemed busy in their own conversation.
