"Jiminie! Breakfast is ready!" Hoseok shouts, his voice echoing throughout the house. He hears the sound of feet running towards him and Jimin bursts into view.
"What are we eating?" He asks, looking back and forth between Hoseok and the plate of, well, something.
Hoseok blushes in embarrassment.
"They're supposed to be pancakes..." He says sheepishly. Jimin raises an eyebrow at him.
"I didn't know pancakes were black and burnt to a crisp." Jimin says semi-sarcastically, and Hoseok laughs at himself.
"Seokjin still hasn't taught me much about cooking. I'll go run to the store and grab donuts." He says, but Jimin shakes his head.
"I'll go." The younger boy offers. "I could grab some coffee too." Hoseok smiles, and thanks Jimin.
"Do you want me to come with you?" He asks. Jimin shakes his head.
"That's alright. It'll only take me a minute. Meanwhile, you can clean this mess of a kitchen." Jimin laughs and flicks Hoseok's forehead, then exits the house. Hoseok blushes as soon as Jimin is gone and gets to work on the catastrophic kitchen.

Jimin slowly wanders through the little store until he stumbles upon the bakery section. He's wearing a black surgical mask and sunglasses, along with a jacket he stole from Hoseok.
Somebody is already in the bakery section, inspecting the baked goods, so Jimin waits until they pick out the food they're interested in and turn around.
The smile on the person's face is unnerving and familiar, though it takes Jimin a second to figure out who it belongs to.
He is face to face with Jeon Jungkook.
"Ah, hello!" Jungkook says cheerfully, and Jimin nods in response, at a complete loss for words. "You look familiar." He says after a minute of studying Jimin. He reaches out to tug at Jimin's surgical mask, but Jimin politely deflects his hand.
"Apologies. I'm in a bit of a hurry. Excuse me." He says, extremely thankful that his face is mostly covered up. His voice is a bit muffled by the mask, so Jungkook can't recognize that either.
"Oh. I'm Jeon Jungkook. I just moved into town." He says.
Jimin freezes in fear.
"I-I'm Kim Yungyung. I don't live around here, I'm just visiting a friend." He lies, his hands shaking as he reaches for one of the donuts and places it in a little bag.
"Originally I was just visiting my friend, but I quite like it here." Jungkook informs him, and Jimin wishes he could disappear.
"Oh? Who are you visiting?"
"A man named Park Jimin."
