*The Beauty of it all*

And then I met you...

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°<3

It was already the beginning of fall and Jongin was stuck shopping alone once again having a hard time deciding on how much food to buy. Should he just get enough for one? or should he buy enough for at least 3 people?

He wondered because often times he expects company over. He always think on the behalf of others he always invites over. He likes to assure comfort into his home be that it may strangers or close friends. He was often thoughtful and aware of how others felt. Jongin decided to just get as much as he needed. He tend to eat a lot except he never cooks. Rarely he does that. He leaves that up to kyungsoo but kyungsoo was going to be gone for at least a year visiting parents and spending time with them. Jongin was going to have to call a substitute. He wondered would Suho or Baekyung be a perfect fit for the job.

He hurriedly bagged his groceries paid the cashier and went on his way.

The fall was rather colder than usual and he let out a sound of exhaust. He was glad he dressed properly and that his place was right up the street. He headed in, happy to be wrapped in warmth. He nodded at the person at the front desk and headed down the hall. His apartment was around the corner. It was a two bedroom. It wasn't big but it wasn't small either. He like to think of it as a place that was relatively comfortable enough for him. He slowly placed his bags down to type in his code to his place. It beeped and he pushes it open before grabbing the grocery bags struggling along the way. He eventually made it in without tripping or falling over his own feet.

He placed the bags on a nearby table and jerked back a little, startled by his cell phone. Michael Jackson 'Remember the time' played loudly as he tried to reach for it in his pockets before realising a bit later it was over by the sofa. He took his time retrieving it and when he did get to it, it had stopped ringing. He had 8 missed calls in which 4 was from kyungsoo, the other 4 was from Baekhyun, Tao, Chen and Chanyeol.

He also had 12voicemails and 15 text messages. He frowned and became burdened, not realising he was gone that long to have so many notifications.

He made a message out to those who was trying to reach him.

~Sorry guys I was out shopping, didn't know I left my phone at home. But I'm here now, and to be honest I was too lazy to read and listen to all the voicemails and messages.-

He put a smiley face before pressing the send. He chuckled to himself as he instantly got a message from kyungsoo.

-you need to start taking your phone, I don't want to become old so soon worrying about you.-

another message came from Chen

-I just wanted to know did you cook hahaha-

he let his phone go off a few times before reading what his friends said.

He clicked messages and scrolled through the recent ones.

-Saranghaeyo (I love you) <3-

Jongin smiled before continuing.

-That was touching. I love you more ^^

He promised he would call everyone later when he can.

He decided to take the garbage out after changing into a black T and black joggers with a black hat turned backwards. He pushed open his door and walked to the back where they kept the garbage cans. He sorted everything already so it was easier to know where to put what based on the bins. He was closing the lid when he suddenly notice a boy by one of the garbage cans nearly scaring him half to death. His hair was bleached blonde giving him a younger look, he had baby features and smiling eyes. He was staring at Jongin and smiling sweetly.He had on bright colors, different colors not really matching and he was barefoot. His legs were crossed and his hands had a few cuts here and there. His arms had bruises. Jongin stared for awhile in contemplation while tilting his head to his right not knowing what to do. He looked so innocent and completely helpless.
