"yujin?"

"huh?"

"i can't sleep."

"try harder."

"can i go get a glass of water?"

"sure, i have bottled water, don't drink tap water i don't trust it."

"i don't either."

taehyung walked into the kitchen, he quickly found the light switch and searched for bottled water, he thanked god that yujin kept her windows covered, otherwise he'd probably be hallucinating random faces into them. he quickly found the water bottles, he looked for glasses and found some on a board above, it was easy to reach for, he thought that even yujin could reach it without standing on her tiptoes. he opened the water bottle and shortly after the plop, the water was greeted by a cold transparent glass. taehyung was completely lost in thought, he didn't even realize that yujin had also entered the kitchen. yujin reached for the water bottle and and taehyung jumped a little.

"oh my god, do you want me to die?"

"what?", she giggled, "it's not my fault you don't expect the owner walking around in their own home."

"ah- i was away with my mind."

"i noticed that, it's very obvious you know."

"why are you here as well?"

"jesus, should i disappear or what? i wanted to drink something as well, you took kinda long as well so.."

"you decided to give me a heartattack."

"yes."

"thanks, i love sudden appearances."

"okay so now let's drink our glasses of water and try to sleep again."

"sorry for bothering you, by the way, i'm really thankful that you let me sleep here."

"nah, don't worry, it's not that big of a deal."

"sure, it's just letting a complete stranger sleep in your apartment, while you are sleeping there as well."

"yeah, well, if you're gonna kill me, rip me then i guess."

taehyung chuckled before swallowing the last bit of water, yujin also emptied her glass and put it on the stove.

"here, put yours here as well."

"what? why?"

"because otherwise i won't get rid of them, i will have to empty the stove so that i can make food, so if the glasses stood wherever they wouldn't disturb, i wouldn't take them away either."

"that's smart, but you could just put them into dishwasher y'know."

"i have to safe money, so handwashing won't hurt."

taehyung nodded and walked back into the bedroom, he thought that he could sleep well now and he was right. yujin quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep as well.

9:42AM;

he woke up to the sound of a loud thump. he opened his eyes and investigated the room, the tv was on and a cartoon was playing, the volume on low, he looked around further and saw yujin fixing her clothes, he couldn't force away a laugh, he realized she must've fallen face first and found the mental image of that hilarious.

"what?", she looked at him with glaring eyes.

"no-nothing", he covered his grin.

yujin faked an angry expression, "good morning to you as well, there's cereal in the kitchen."

"yes, i need cereal because i need to see if this is real. did you actually fall on your face?", tears were in taehyungs eyes, the laughing and tiredness made his eyes turn into waterfalls.

"no, to your information, my knees and arms hit the ground first, my face came shortly after."

"...i'll get cereal."

taehyung went into the kitchen and the box of cereal stood open on the counter; on the stove
was a used bowl, he wondered for how long yujin had been awake. nevermind, he grabbed the clean bowl that yujin had taken out for him and opened the fridge for milk, a few moments later there was a perfectly made bowl of cereal, milk put back, cereal box closed and the silver spoon dug inside. taehyung was glad she didn't have sugary cereal, he thought it would kill all the energy you need for the day, to his luck, yujin had crunchy fruit muesli with extra reduced sugar. it was ridiculous but he would've bet his life that she didn't have that cereal because it was healthy, but because it made her feel like shes healthy when both is untrue. he went back into the bedroom with his glorious cereal only to be greeted by an episode of the simpsons.

"i've got cereal."

"great, have you seen if the world is real as well?"

"wow, i haven't looked that deep yet it's like 10AM."
