Where Taehyung is a nosey, dramatic, and (when he needs to be) a scary person.

Two Beef? Check.
Two Shrimp? Check.
Two Chicken? Check.
It was his duty as his roommate, Jimin recited once, for him to get the correct ramen flavors to suit his taste buds. And of course Taehyung scoffed at the utter bullshit that left his friends mouth, because not only did it sound ridiculous, but he was also not responsible for his friend's lack of energy to get food himself after practice. Of course this resulted in Jimin threatening to send out the video when Taehyung was full on bawling while watching Nemo for the 23rd time to all of his friends. This effectively persuaded Taehyung's opinion, making the brunette add "Ramen shopping" to his daily routine.
He dropped the food on the checkout counter in a huff.
He looked through his bangs and grinned at the cashier who looked at him with a knowing smile.
As the cashier rang up his items he zoned out and listened into the conversations around him. This was one of his recent habits that he found interesting and sometimes entertaining. Once he heard about a whole break up while he was waiting in line for Starbucks. The girl was chatting her friend's head off talking about how she didn't care about the guy when she was clearly getting emotional. The strange girl then proceeded to prove how she was "over that asshole" by flirting with a not-so-interested Taehyung.
"Yeah, yeah... I'm getting the stuff."
A deep voice behind him said.
Turning on his "listening ears" and he shifted to get better earshot.
"Yes, you fuck! I have the fancy alfredo sauce, and the ramen noodles you asked for."
Taehyung chuckled a little to loudly and out of the corner of his eye he could see a blue mop of hair shift to his direction.
"Hold on, Junggeok, some nosey kid is listening into our conversation- Hey!"
The mint haired guy said removing the phone from his ear.
Taehyung froze, his previous smile falling off of his lips. Confrontation.
Turning to the deep voice, he found himself looking downward at a male with scrunched eyebrows. He taken back by his height because in his head he was imagining a buff guy to fit the voice. Either way, the look on the man's face was intimidating and Taehyung's heart was racing.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to listen in-"
A lie.
"-I just heard that were were in the same predicament."
Taehyung replied quickly with his signature boxy smile, gesturing at the ramen he just bought that was now packaged and ready to go.
"Yeah..whatever. Just move out of my way"
The smaller of the two mumbled.
Sighing after the mishap, Taehyung grabbed the food and quickly left, glad to escape the awkward situation.
Taehyung woke up the next morning on the couch tangled in Jimin's limbs. Jimin was taking up most of the space despite his smaller frame. Pushing Taehyung to the edge of the couch.
Taehyung was used to waking up like this, it was rare that the pair used their beds to fall asleep. Their apartment consisted of only one TV, which happened to be in the living room. Upon the first week of them moving in they decided that the couch was comfy and conveniently in front of the television where they could watch old reruns of the Office and fall asleep. There was enough space on the couch if they cuddled, which wasn't a problem for the both of them. They'd known each other since middle school and were comfortable enough to do so. In fact, they were so comfortable with each other that one of their friends questioned why they hadn't gone out yet. This resulted in Taehyung fake gagging and Jimin making a face as if he just smelled rotten eggs. The only conflict they'd had while cuddling was deciding who would be the little spoon. Jimin's argument (which he'd never admit again) was that he was smaller. Taehyung's was that he was younger, which wasn't logical enough in Jimin's opinion, resulting in Taehyung being the big spoon.
