The bone-chilling breeze of Seoul clings to every part of Jeongguk's body. It's somewhat the worst weather of the year for him. The thick and heavy clothes and white sprinkling snow everywhere, almost covering the houses and cars. Spring and Autumn are the best weathers for him. Well, it's more comfortable since he can take a bath when he wants to, unlike winter, oh gosh— it takes him 100 prayers before letting the shower pour drips of water on his body.

He's already packing up things because their class was dismissed and he had to buy new winter clothes like sweatshirts, jackets, and coats. La Amourè Botique is the shop his mom recommend, he had to obey 'coz he got only few dollars. He wanted to buy from the shop named Gucci but hell, the prices are worth more than his tuition fee. hell no.

He got in his car and start driving to the nearest mall, this wasn't really his car, but his dad's. For fuck's sake how can he get a damn car when he's just a freaking college student who had no money. He also got his driving license last year, so yeah. After a couple of minutes he arrived at the mall, he first parked the car and he start searching for the botique. Thank God, it's just near the entrance.

He enters the shop, the zephyr of the botique additions to the cool air of the mall and Seoul, and again puffs into his body, oh geez. The soft and relaxing sound, the aesthetically pleasing walls and designs of the shop and few people inside, 'it's so pretty here' he mumbles. They were here—he guess for some winter clothes too. The clothes are pretty simple but stylish and he likes that. He start picking out the best style for him, there are lots of cool styles and he wish he could buy all of it.

A guy whose a salesperson in the shop approaches Jeongguk without him noticing. Hands tucked together over his navel, he stands steadily near him while holdin a piece of paper but doesn't speak, just following every move Jeongguk performs. Finally, the busy brunette lad turns around, startled, seeing the pink haired guy still upstanding unbelievably close to him. "Oh, I'm sorry." he distants himself from the guy, feeling a bit gauche. The pink haired guy is tranquil, same look and position as before.

With a piece of paper on his hand, he clicks his pen and writes something on the paper, then hands it out to Jeongguk. He feels the awkwardness but he grasps on the paper and reads it, "What can I help you, Sir?" He glances at the name plate of the guy right infront of him, Jimin. He looks at Jimin's face but this time he's smiling, eyes turning to crescents and oh, Jesus Christ —he looks hella cute.

He was starstrucked, Jimin is beyond the word cute. But hey, can he say he's pretty too. So pretty like an angel. Jeongguk maybe looks dumb right now, but who cares, he gotta look at this gorgeous guy. Jimin writes something on the paper again, and gives it to Jeongguk. He reaches out, hands brushing. "Are you ok, Sir?" He doesn't know if he's a mute or just idle to speak up but his eyes are enough to understand what he's trying to say, his eyes are small but beautiful like all of the stars are in it. Cheesy he thinks. He hurriedly nods as a respond to Jimin.

He finally decided to get white coats and some black leather jackets that looks pretty—and cool on him. Jimin lends his hands to get the clothes, "No, it's ok." Jeongguk smiles, showing him the bunny smile of his. Jimin flashes a small smile, turning back to assist another costumers. He wants to get near Jimin again, but that'll be strange for him if he do so. Should I get his number? he deems—yes.

After paying the clothes at the cashier, he nighs to Jimin, feeling shy. Jimin looks at him, writing something again on the paper. "Is there something you need, Sir?" His face is expressionless and blank, Jeongguk feels a bit unease. 'maybe not this time' He chews over, "Nothing."
he goes outside the shop, feeling eccentric about himself.

"That guy looks cute!" Taehyung squeals, piching Jimin's waist whose currently sitting near the counter, there are only handful people inside the mall because it's already 8 in the evening. "I like his timberlands." Namjoon says, wiggling his eyebrows.

"He looks interested to Jimin, hmm." Yoongi confesses whilst lying on the couch. "Yoongi-hyung, get up! That couch is only for the costumers." Seokjin orders, nipping the younger's arm. Jimin grabs the marker beside him, writing down a big — y'all are so loud, shut up on a bond paper. He lifts the sheet overhead, letting the 4 guys see it. "Woah, you'd be so hot if you could verbally say that, Jiminie."

"The last time i heard his voice, was—i think December last year. Oh gosh, you're voice is so cute." Hoseok admits admiring Jimin with his eyes. "The last word he said to me was fuck you, I can't believe him." Yoongi adds. Taehyung cleaves at the smaller guy, nuzzling his nose. "Oh well, that's my bad hot Jimmy, hmm."

Jimin writes— I'll fucking kick your balls so hard you won't be able to walk the next day and rolls his eyes at the younger. Taehyung then runs to Seokjin to hide himself, mouthing a shut up idiot to Jimin. "Bet, that guy will comeback here again for our Jiminie, oh yes!" Seokjin ggigles with Jimin.

"$10, they'll hang out soon when they knew each other." Namjoon says, throwing out his money on the table. "They will, Of course!" Seokjin adds. "$20, they'll date after that boy introduces himself." Hoseok drops his money on the table too, showing his smug face. "$30, they'll fuck after they knew each other's name." Taehyung smirks, casting his dollars.

"O-Oh, you went hard." Hoseok utters.

The 5 guys glance at Jimin, whose hardly staring at them one by one this time. They know he's already annoyed if he does this. Oh well, they've all known each other for years and he bearly gives this look to them, and they all know— he verbally talks rough towards them when he's mad.

"I can't believe y'all." Jimin says with a staid voice—after years of not hearing words coming out of his mouth and then closing the door of the staff room with a loud—bam.

"He s-sounds so—" Namjoon starts off, jaw still dropped after hearing Jimin's voice. "sexy," Taehyung cuts him, feeling amused despite of what happened.
