     music blasting through out his room, taehyung is assembling his files, hums along the music and bobs his head. while jimin who is laying on the couch, has his ear plugs on and reading another one of the cliché romantics that he needs to translate.

     he takes a look at taehyung who is focused on his work but yet engrossed in the music. he sighs, takes his plugs out keeps then in his backpack. "i'm heading back," he says lowly, gets up and keeps the book inside his bag as well.

     taehyung looks up, turns the music off and asks, "what?" he looks at jimin standing with his bag already hung on his shoulders as he ties his show laces.

     "i'm going back home and get some sleep." jimin stands back up, all ready to leave.

     "okay and mes―"

     "―message you when i'll reach home. yes i will, dear. don't worry." jimin smiles and waves before he leaves. he has his eyes on his feet as he walks until he hears someone.

     "heading back?"

     jimin looks up to see yoongi walking towards him. he reciprocates the smile. "yeah, tired." he shrugs, scrunches his nose and yoongi hasn't seen anything more adorable.

     "alright," yoongi laughs. "get rest." he smiles again before walking past him and into taehyung's room. jimin purses his lips as he decides to take the nearest monorail.

     yoongi enters the room to gets startled by the music yet again. he's still not used to the loud habits of the boy. taehyung instantly turns the music off and apologizes, "sorry." he laughs a little, rubs his neck.

     "i'm still trying to get used to it," yoongi shrugs, sits in front of him and leans back on the chair, gets comfortable. "so how is work?"

     "it's fine. i've performed some poll and found out the books we should translate next. there have been many requests to translate books of different languages. some being spanish, mandarin and tamil." taehyung says, looking at a sheet of paper that shows his the result. he looks up at yoongi, stares and a smile creeps on his face. "you aren't here for the work are you?"

     yoongi hiccups a little before looking around and back at taehyung. "yeah," he admits, looks anywhere but at taehyung.

     "you like him?" taehyung's voice is cheeky and he's excited by the sound of it.

     yoongi shrugs, "slightly. yeah." he stops, looks at taehyung smiling at him. "he's adorable."

     "that he is." taehyung is smiling wide and genuine. "he's not here though. he just left."

     "i know. saw him outside," yoongi sighs, leans forward to stretch his back. "well, i was already on my way here so i just came no matter."

     taehyung hums, smiles to himself before getting an idea. "i have my birthday coming up," he says a little to excited. "you should come, get to know him more."

     "that'd be nice but does he not already have a boyfriend? you know about him, taehyung." yoongi looks disappointed.

     "i sure do but that doesn't mean i approve them. i'd want jimin to be with the best man he can have." taehyung his smiling so wide, his cheeks hurt. "and you are the best."
