Only Above the Surface

Funk Boi

Jin sighed as he gathered his cleaning tools and silently prayed for an easy job today but knew it was hopeless. Putting a medical mask over his mouth and nose, Jin entered the men's bathroom at Buckie's Hard Balls Bowling Alley.

Jin gagged as he entered, and his eyes watered at the smell of shit and piss. He didn't understand what was so hard about shitting in a bowl and pissing on a urinal without missing but apparently, it was fucking difficult. Breathing through his mouth was the only way to accomplish this task. Men were disgusting.

Cleaning the bathroom took longer than Jin ever wanted to be in there but when he thought he was close to being done, he lifted the toilet seat to find a ring urine on the rim of the toilet. Judging by how hard he had to scrub, Jin could tell Jinyoung wasn't doing his job thoroughly for the past few weeks.

Jin sighed happily as he left the bathroom and got a whiff of fresh air. Although he wouldn't feel completely clean until he scrubbed his skin raw, he would settle for clean air for now.

Jin put his tools away in the closet before he made his way to his boss's office to let him know about his new hours for his other job. He hated to cut his hours here, he loved working at the bowling alley more than Willy's, but he needed the money.

Jin felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and pulled it out to see a text from Jungkook.

Kookie <3: Heyy

JJJin: HI SWEETIE

Kookie <3: God, u just made me blush in front of Yoongi! Now hes teasing me!

JJJin: AWH MY POOR BABY BUNNY!!! ):< ILL FIGHT HIM

Kookie <3: sjjksksj

Kookie <3: What u doin for lunch???

JJJin: idk not feeling really hungry after cleaning shit off the door of a stall

Kookie <3: awh im sorry baby

Jin felt his heartbeat increase just from the pet name. Jungkook was making him stupid and he honestly didn't care anymore. Jin knew he was smiling stupidly at his phone and he didn't try to hide it from his coworkers. He was finding love again and if it made him look stupid then so bit it.

JJJin: are u hungry? When is ur lunch break?

Kookie <3: in half an hr. wanna get lunch together?

JJJin: awh in sorry baby, my break isn't for another 2 hours )):

JJJin: *im

Kookie <3: its okay, we'll do something later (;

Kookie <3: but wat sounds tasty for me?

JJJin: M E.

Jin knew Jungkook was blushing at his text, he could just feel it and it made his smile widen. He was sad he couldn't meet Jungkook for a lunch date but they could do something else when they were both free and weren't on a time limit.

Jin locked his phone since Jungkook was taking too long to respond and went to his boss's office. He knocked on the door frame since the door was already open. "Buckie?" Jin called.

An elder man in a cowboy hat and overalls looked up from his desk. Jin always thought the Korean man had an odd sense of fashion but he guessed that was just the image Buckie was trying to portray. If he was happy then who was Jin to say anything? He's met stranger people anyway and Buckie was a whole sweetheart anyway.
