"Yeah, never thought I would see you here of all places," you joked, rubbing your arm from the awkwardness, which he did not seem to notice. You looked down to avoid making eye contact and saw the animal carrier bag he had before.

Seokjin noticed you look at the carrier and held it up so you can look at it better. He smiled, "Don't worry, they're in my room." You nodded at him. You were about to ask why he still had the carrier, but he beat you to it.

"Thanks again for checking up on them," Seokjin said, "I owe you one."

You let out a small laugh when you heard him say the last part. You put your hand up and shake your head, "It's okay you don't have to, you already paid for the visit and everything."

He smiled at you, then looked down, "At least let me buy or cook you dinner, I insist."

You smiled thinly at him, "I'm sorry Seokjin-ssi, but I am very tired right now and would like to relax at home." You nodded to yourself and were about to leave, but Seokjin called out to you.

"What about tomorrow then," he said as you turned to face him, "and you don't have to call me Seokjin, Jin is fine."

You sighed, which made Jin smile knowing he got you to cave into him, "Okay, tomorrow sounds fine."

Jin walked up to you, grabbing his phone out his back pocket. He unlocked it and extended his arm out so his phone was in front of you. You looked at the phone and then at Jin.

"So I can call you when I decide how to pay you back," Jin smiled, putting the phone closer to you for you to take. You took the phone from him and typed your number in. Once you finished, you gave the phone back to him. He smiled while he read over what you typed.

"(Y/N), that's a pretty name," Jin said as he saved your number.

"Thanks, Jin" you said, "but I should start heading to my apartment now." Jin nodded and said he should as well.

You and Jin headed to the elevators and waited for one to open up. A ding went off, signaling that an elevator had opened. You both get in the elevator and you pressed the four button. You looked at Jin to ask what floor he was going to, but he clicked floor five as you looked at him. The ride up was silent, until the elevator stopped on your floor.

"I'll text you when I come up with something," Jin beamed at you, making you turn around, "It was nice talking to you (Y/N)."

You nodded, "You too Jin." He waved to you as the elevator doors closed. You did the same and then started to head to your apartment.

You unlocked the door and went inside. Once you walked in the living room, you face-planted into the couch. You sighed and turned over, placing your phone and keys on the table. Getting up, you went to change into more comfortable clothes, shorts and a hoodie.

When you came back your phone screen lit up from a text message. You picked it up and unlocked it.

'Don't forget to save my number, its Jin'

You smiled a little bit and replied with an 'ok.' saving the number as Jin. Before you could place your phone back down it started to ring. You answered it, considering it was Ji-hye calling.

"Hello?"

"Hey (Y/N), I'm sorry this is so last minute, but I'll be staying with my family for a couple of days," Ji-hye uttered in a low voice.

Concerned by her tone, you asked if everything was okay. "Yeah my sister is back in town and my mom just keeps bringing up my life and how I should find a boyfriend and start to settle down like her."

"I'm sorry," you whispered unknowingly to her. You remembered how hard it was to convince her mother just to let her share an apartment with you. In the background you could hear her mother call her name rather loudly.

"It's okay, take care of yourself for the next couple days without me," she sighed. To lighten up her mood you joked, "Yeah I don't know how I would survive without you Ji-hye." You waited to hear at least a small giggle, but all she did was sigh. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up (Y/N), but I don't think it will work this time. See you soon," she hung up.

You frowned and placed your phone down. You felt bad for Ji-hye, her and her mother never had a good relationship, and now she had to be with her for a couple days. She seemed more upset than she usually was when she visited her mother.

All that aside, you felt hungry and went to the kitchen to get some food. You looked in the fridge to see leftover pizza from Tuesday. You took out the last two slices and placed them on a plate. You were too lazy to wait for them to be heated, so you just ate them cold.

'It would be nice to have a warm, fresh cooked dinner' you thought biting into a piece of cold pizza. You picked up your phone and brought the plate to your room. After you finished eating, you put the plate on the nightstand and began to get comfortable in bed. You began to doze off every once in a while.

Your phone went off rather loud all of the sudden. You grabbed your phone seeing it was Jin who texted you multiple times.

'So I think I'll cook dinner at my place tomorrow'

'You can come over when it's done'

'I'll just text or call you when to come over'

You decided to not be rude and texted him back. 'Yeah that's fine, just let me know'

You figured that was where the conversation would end, but another ding from your phone proved you wrong.

'I hope you don't mind if some of my roommates eat with us'

'Some?' You asked yourself. How many roommates does he have exactly?

'what does some mean?' You texted back

'I think maybe 2 or 3' He responded.

Your eyes widen, "that's only some" you said aloud, not believing that he had more than 3 roommates. Your fingers hung over the text keys.

'How many roommates do you have Jin-ssi?'

He didn't respond right away like he was, so you put your phone down and carried the dirty plate to the kitchen to put away. When you got back, Jin still had not texted you back. You laid back in bed, going on your phone. You scrolled through pintrest waiting for Jin to respond back. He finally responded after a couple minutes.

'Sorry, I had to deal with something'

'I have 6 roommates btw'
