"so what you're saying is jongsuk is not going to come here? " i grumbled while clutching my phone which was in loud speaker mode.

"yes, you can put it that way."

"so... ," i trailed off , " does that mean i get this apartment for myself? "

"now that is...  what i was not trying to say, " my mom responded from the other side.

"but i will live alone if jongsuk is staying near the restaurant he owns," i reasoned.

there was a brief silence at the other side but soon was interrupted, "okay, you get that apartment for yourself."

"yes! " i exclaimed and jumped up in my bed.

"when is he coming to take his things?" i questioned her.

"maybe tomorrow," she answered, "stay safe since you are living on your own. "

"i will, " i replied back to her with a grin plastered on my face

"mom, i'm ending this call for now. have to sleep tomorrow is my classes. talk to you some other day. bye mom."

"sleep well, my daughter. bye ," she said and ended the call.

sighing, i brought my comforter upto my chest and fell asleep.

next morning was a disaster if you could say that. the moment my alarm rang i did my morning rituals went to the kitchen only to be greeted by the shirtless back of a boy.

well at that moment, i guess that was the first time in my 18 years of existence that i screamed so loud. i swear i woke up my neighbours.

the boy turned around with his palms on his ears with scrunched up face and pink hair tousled on every possible direction. i was then greeted by a sight of shirtless jimin in all his glory with only a sweat pant hanging on his waist.

"damn. did you have to shout out so loud? "he muttered and again turned around to continue his job.

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

"wait—what? " he scoffed and turned around again with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

"you don't remember? "

"what do i not remember? "i thought for a while and something clicked in my mind, " oh! you stayed over yesterday...yes sorry I forgot. "

"take a seat. here's a toast and jam with coffee," he said and kept a plate with two toasts and a jar of jam in front of me on the table.

i mumbled a small 'thank you' and started eating. he too took a seat and started eating.

"when will jongsuk come? " he started.

"well, mom said he won't come here anymore since he will live near his restaurant for better control," i replied with a cup of coffee in my hand.

"and thank you for staying over last night. "

"no problem. your brother asked us for help and we just helped him. no big thing. " he replied and picked up his plate and walked to the sink and kept the dish there.

and that's when i realised completely that jimin was half naked with his torso on display. i quickly looked away from him.

"enjoyed the view right here? " i heard jimin ask.

"well yes i did. thank you for asking."

but i must say his toned. has muscles where it needs to be and all.

"the pleasure is all mine, young lady, " he smirked.

"aren't you a little flirt, mister park jimin, " teasing him , i quickly finished my portion and walked to the door to leave for my college after leaving the dishes in the sink.

"hey where are you going? "

i turned around to see jimin standing near me fully dressed.

"classes? " i replied which sounded more like a question to him.

"oh. come with me, i'll drop you off." he motioned for me to follow him.

"where are you going,  since you said that you'll drop me off?" I questioned him but followed him anyway.

"i'm going to my job, " he replied back.

"where do you work? " i blurted out. damn! my mouth should stop asking things everytime.

"i work for yoongi hyung. now hop in before i leave you here, " with that, we both went to his car and the engine roared taking us to our destination.
