Neighbors // YoonMin

7: Monday

Jimin was stopped by Hobi on the way out of work at the end of the day. "Here's your paycheck," he said, handing Jimin a neat little envelope with the business logo. 

Jimin smiled, "Thank you, hyung."

"Are you up to anything tonight?"

"No," he shook his head, "I think I'm just gonna go home and rest. I'm still a little sore from the competition."

Hoseok nodded, "That's kinda weird, it's been two days Jimin."

"I know, but Saturday I never got the chance to rest and then yesterday Taehyung insisted on going shopping with him."

The older man nodded, "Alright. Just rest up and I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye Hobo-hyung," Jimin said and waved as he walked out of the door. 

Jimin took his time on the walk home since it was still only around four in the afternoon. He stopped and got ice cream at his favorite little shop and then went on his way again. As he was walking, Jimin got a bit too distracted by how much the ice cream was dripping at the edges. Before he knew it he had run into something hard and was knocked on his butt with the chocolate ice cream splattered on the sidewalk.

"Are you okay?"

Jimin looked up and saw Yoongi standing in front of him, "Yeah." He blushed deep red of embarrassment. 

"It's not every day I get to see someone run into a telephone pole," Yoongi laughed as he extended his arm to help Jimin get up. 

"Thank you." Once Jimin was on his feet he noticed that there was no saving his ice cream. He frowned, "I'm really out of it today."

"I can tell," Yoongi smiled, "While we're here, I forgot my glasses at your place the other night."

"Oh," Jimin blinked, "Well you can come by any time and get them or I could bring them over to you?"

"I have to run some errands and I'll stop by when I'm done if that's okay."

"Yeah of course," Jimin nodded, "See you then."

"Later, Jimin," Yoongi waved as he walked away. 

*****

Jimin was swaying around to music in the kitchen as he made himself dinner. He put the pot of water on the stove for it to boil and then began cutting the chicken he had cooked earlier. Halfway through his task, there was a loud knock on the door.

"That must be Yoongi," he spoke to himself as he turned the music down. Jimin rushed over to the door with his hair still pulled back from cooking and pulled it open, "Hello."

"Hey," Yoongi replied, "It smells nice in here."

"I'm making chicken and noodles."

"That would explain the interesting hair style," Yoongi chuckled as Jimin closed the door behind him. 

Jimin rolled his eyes, "Anyway, I couldn't find your glasses in here, but you can go ahead and look around for them."

Yoongi nodded, "They should just be in the living room somewhere. I didn't go anywhere else."

While Yoongi searched for his glasses, Jimin went back to cooking. He put the egg noodles in the boiling water. Jimin sighed and looked at how much food he made. He always told himself that he would eat the leftovers, but ultimately failed to do so every time.  

Yoongi walked back into the kitchen with his glasses in hand, "Found them."

"That's good," Jimin smiled as he stirred the noodles. 

"Thanks again for letting me come and look for them."

"Don't mention it," Jimin smiled.

The food was completely ready a few minutes after Yoongi left. Jimin prepared himself a plate and put the leftovers in the fridge. He ate alone that night, enjoying the quiet music and peace in his apartment.
