Park Jimin never thought he would be under the sparkling lights of the big city to pursue his dancing dreams. His sparkling brown eyes scanned the crowded streets filled with advertisements, mumbling people, and the sweet smells of local street foods. He brought his soft palm to his mouth as his little fingers wrap around the soft fabric of his yellow sweater. He grips his suitcase as he quickens his slow pace to his brand new apartment.
It was a small building compared to the huge sky scrappers and large businesses. It was a cute little three story brick apartment complex right next to an old flower shop; which was owned by a sweet old lady who was always covered with dirt spots and scratch marks. Jimin loved the warm feeling this area gave him, even though he got the cheapest apartment he could find.
Jimin hopped up the steps and swung open the wood doors with an eye smile. Before him was a tiny lady with red framed glasses who was fixated on the glowing screen before her. Soft clicks and plastic slowly moving over a fabric mousepad gave the place a safe and quiet environment. The soft noises seemed to fit perfectly with the outdated cream walls and popcorn ceilings. This place seemed to be stuck in the 70s... but in a good way.
"Name?"
Jimin blinks a few times to snap out of the feelings of awe and takes slow steps the the desk. He set his suitcase safely beside him as he pulled out his phone.
"Park Jimin- ah- I was told to tell you Tony already has a place set up for me."
His hopeful gaze goes back to the attention of the lady. Her head nods slowly as loud clacking of the keyboard starts to come and play with the soft noises of the mouse. A soft smirk reaches her pink lips as she slaps keys on the counter.
"Room 204 on the second floor."
Jimin gives off a happy giggle and flashes her the biggest eye smile he can muster. His index finger reaches out to grip tightly on the ring of the keys and starts to scoot away.
"BE CAREFUL FOR SCRUFF!!" The desk lady yelled back at Jimin.
Scruff? Who's Scruff?
Jimin slowly shuffled down the hall with his rolling suit case like a curious child. His eyes wanders around the hallway and ceiling. The halls were half floral wallpaper and half wood trim, which made Jimin feel like he was thrown back in time. A clever soul even hung some yellow flowers from the ceiling.
"Ah.. feels like grandmas old house." Jimin sighs happily as he continues his walk before a huge body launched at him.
Jimin fell backwards with a huge thump.
"SCRUFF!!" A voice yelled from down the hall.
Jimin let his brain process the situation before actually looking at what hit him. He was now face to face with a large, messy dog.
Next thing he knows he sees a hand pull at the dogs collar, "Are you okay..?"
Jimin slowly nods, quickly standing up and brushing the invisible dirt from his clothes.
"Yeah- Yeah I'm good thank you..."
Jimin stops talking once he looks up at the other individual. It was a male that was taller than him for sure- yet he looked young. The others doe-like eyes looked at Jimin with complete worry, his lips parted in fear. His skin seemed soft- almost as soft as his dark hair that was cut short. Jimin couldn't breathe... The other male that looked so innocent and scared was so beautiful.
Jimin blinks a few times before laughing way too loud, his little feet shuffling nervously.
"Yeah thank you- uh- where do you live? I... I mean uh- what apartment? ....Possibly? Haha..." Jimin's squeaky voice stammered.
"Oh- yeah sorry- I live in room 203."
Omg... 203?! Jimin's gay panic was clear on his face as he laughs even louder.
"Ah- hahaha- really?? Me too- wait no- I mean-" Jimin slowly rubs the back of his neck as his free hand starts to play with the hem of his sweater. "Next door- 204."
The other male blinks a few times as he very softly chuckles, gently playing with his own hair. The awkward tension was so big that it could probably crush the entire planet.
"Yeah- okay well I got to go-" The tall male mumbled. "See ya later?"
"Ye...Yeah!! Yeah!! See youuuu laterrr." Jimin does a bit of finger guns before walking off to his new apartment.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
