1: Loser from the record store

Min Yoongi was tired. He had been sitting behind the counter of the record store all day, leaving his place only for a five-minute break. He had listened his playlist twice and scribbled the pages of his notebook with various drawings. Nevertheless, the store had remained empty. The only time when the bell above the door had rang during the day was when Kim Namjoon, the other employee of the shop, had went to buy coffee for himself and Yoongi.

Not because Yoongi did not enjoy working in the record store. Music was his passion, but sitting in the store all day long wasn't. In addition, there was usually no other people than he and Namjoon. The clientele was very small and consisted mainly from nearby teenagers who felt like they were born in the wrong decade. Other customers were mostly Yoongi's friends. In other words, his roommate Jungkook and his friend Jimin.

"Ugh, could you look a little bit angrier? You drive all your customers away by staring out of the window like that", said Namjoon, the tall guy whose life was not as well controlled as it seemed. Yoongi glanced him and snorted.

"Like someone would come here," he said sourly, causing Namjoon to sigh tiredly.

"I guess no one will, when you look at everyone, as if you wanted to kill them," he said, leaning against the counter. Yoongi shrugged and yawned. It was seven o'clock in the evening and he had been sitting there all day. Not because he did not have the opportunity to walk around. He was just too lazy.

"What are you going to do this evening? Cry on the floor and watch anime?"Yoongi asked. Those were actually his own plans.

"I'm probably going at Jin's to eat," Namjoon said, but regretted telling that immediately when he saw Yoongi's smirk. "Don't start..."

"Ooh! A romantic dinner... namjin is alive and strong", Yoongi laughed and pointed at the younger with a pen.

"For the last time, we're not-"

"Yeah, yeah, you're not a couple but you eat together literally every night and you won't stop talking about Jin", Yoongi said with a teasing smirk.

"Well, at least I have more than three friends", Namjoon snapped back.

"Ow! That hurt", Yoongi said pretending to be offended. "But it's actually true..."

Just then, like a miracle had happened, the door of the record shop opened and two men stepped in. The first man was short and black-haired, who both Yoongi and Namjoon recognized as Jimin. This followed by a taller man (even though, it wasn't hard to be taller than Jimin) whose brown hair was mixed by the wind.

"Yoongi-hyung and Namjoon-hyung ~!" Jimin greeted the men behind the counter and walked over to them with a smile.

"Oh hi, Jimin," Namjoon said and smiled at the younger. Yoongi did not say anything but looked at the another man with interest. He noticed his staring and smiled awkwardly. Yoongi turned his gaze away, but had already seen the man's dimples.

"This is Hoseok, he moved here with his brother a while ago so I'll show him some places, "Jimin told, pulling his friend closer.

"Nice to meet you," Namjoon said politely and smiled. "I am Namjoon."

"Nice to meet you too", Hoseok said and smiled back brightly.

"I'm Yoongi", Yoongi introduced himself with a small smile. Hoseok smiled back and Yoongi was pretty sure that even the sun was jealous to the brunette.

"Is this your store?" Hoseok asked from the men behind the counter.

"Not really but we're the only ones working here", Yoongi said before, Namjoon even opened his mouth to say anything. Hoseok nodded and let his stare go around the walls covered by band posters and vinyl covers.
