Morning

A breezy cold Saturday, Jeongguk walks out of his house, on his way to his work. He plugs one of his earphones in, scrolling through his music, deciding on which song he should listen to first.

"Morning." A voice says from the distance. Jeongguk looks up to the sound to see Jimin sitting on his front porch reading the daily newspaper, his hair was slightly messed up and he had a sleepy look.

To Jeongguk, Jimin never really came across as a guy who would be up early reading the newspaper on his front porch.

"Oh, Morning." Jeongguk replies smile with a friendly look, but still continued walking, after Taehyung told him he would see him tomorrow, he has made it his mission to make it to work on time so Taehyung will 'see him tomorrow'.

Jeongguk dips the damp mop into the soapy water of the plastic bucket beside him, lifting it out of the bucket, starting to mop the ground. He hasn't seen Taehyung yet, maybe he slept in. Namjoon and Seokjin were behind the counter chatting away carelessly like they usually did.

"Gukie, have you seen Taehyung? He should be here by now." Namjoon asks Jeongguk loudly so he could hear him from where he was.

"Um, no. Last night he said that he'll see me tomorrow, so he should be here." Jeongguk says, not really paying attention to what came out of his mouth, but mostly on the floor he was currently mopping.

Namjoon nods along until, what Jeongguk said started to process, "Last night? You were with him last night?" Namjoon asks, Seokjin on the side raising his eyebrows too, the both of them walking closer to the working boy.

"Umm..."

Namjoon grabs Jeongguk's arm pulling him and placing the mop against the table to lean on.

"Oh my god, Gukie. Tell us what happened I want to know everything, down to the last detail. Why were you together last night? Did he ask you to join him and his weed buddies?" Namjoon questions, clearly interested in Jeongguk's social life, Seokjin nodding along with him.

"Weed buddies?" Jeongguk raises his eyebrow.

"Ugh, just tell us." Namjoon whines.

"Why would I tell you guys anything? you are both rude, arrogant dicks who have no future." Jeongguk snaps, narrowing his eyebrows, trying to pry off Namjoon's grip on his arm.

"Whoaaa. Gukie? What happened to you! I swear this is Kim Taehyung's work. He turned you into one of his psycho drug buddies, I feel so sorry for you. Are you drunk?" Namjoon states.

"What? No!" Jeongguk denies, annoyed now.

"High?" Namjoon questions.

"No!"

"Stoned? Intoxicated?" Namjoon taunted.

"No, no, no, no. i don't do that kind of stuff." Jeongguk replies.

"Oh yeah, isn't your mum crazy or something?" Namjoon guesses, when Jeongguk had no idea how Namjoon could possibly know that his mum is crazy.

"Ok that's enough Namjoon, let the boy tell his story about last night." Seokjin shouts, Jeongguk wasn't the only one annoyed with Namjoon right now.

"Right. Tell us." Namjoon smiles excitedly.

"I'm not telling you anything!" Jeongguk yells, walking back his mop, right now there were no customers. The customers usually came in around the afternoon and night.

"I got this." Seokjin informs Namjoon, walking over to Jeongguk.

He goes up to him and whispers something in Jeongguk's ear, Jeongguk's face slowly grew into a cringe, his face scrunching harder at each new word Seokjin whispered.
