"They are ship crackers! You must be famished! Wow your fancy vocabulary is rubbing off on me."
"That is not amusing at all."
Jeongguk signed and finally took the cracker gratefully. They were sitting in this girl's home... well it was where she lived. It didn't look right at all for anyone to live in.
"Do you keep corpses in here?" He wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"Yeah I do. I keep my brother's dead body over there." She pointed at a single dirty mattress.
Jeongguk squeaked in alarm and started choking on a cracker.
"I'm joking." She laughed loudly. "Then who is that?!" He looked at the figure after swallowing the dry cracker while his throat burned.
"That's my brother but he is just sleeping. Speaking of which he should be awake right now." She grabbed a boot and chucked it at the boy.
He yelped in pain and surprise and woke up hurriedly, tears streaming down his face but his eyes were like slits, angry and cruel. Jeongguk shivered.
"Three fucking seconds before I throw you down the garbage shoot myself." He growled, his voice heavy with sleep.
"We have a guest Jimin." The girl said, shrugging a head at Jeongguk. The boy called Jimin then squinted his eyes in Jeongguk's direction. Jeongguk was astonished. They looked similar in so many ways except Jimin had a softer gaze.
Well now his gaze was mean.
"The fuck is this?" He groaned, standing up and scratched his bare chest.
"The guy we stole from." The girl said brightly. Jimin blinked at her once, then looked at Jeongguk.
"Alright." He went to a bag and took out another packet of crackers. "We bought a burger for you!" She smiled and pointed at the bag next to her.
He smiled and sat next to her, kissing her cheek and reached for the bag. "Now rich boy." He said with his mouth now full. Jeongguk grimaced at the messy eating.
"It's Jeongguk." He said quietly.
"Not this early it ain't." Jimin shrugged.
"What are you doing here? Don't usually get your type in our home, like ever, you know?" He chewed thoughtfully.
"I know, but I had questions." Jeongguk said shyly. They both had intimidating eyes, even though Jimin's were swollen from sleep, it made them into slits.
"Well then, ask away. Your date with my sister is over so ask me." Jeongguk's eyes widened and he stuttered and began fidgeting with his hands.
"This wasn't a date!" He was visibly shaking. He had barely talked much to people his age and he was nervous beyond belief.
"Hey hey hey, relax." Jimin then looked concerned, causing his entire demeanor to soften.
"I'm joking don't worry. Just ask." He leant forward and hesitantly patted Jeongguk's shoulder.
"Deep breaths, ok? After me alright? One breathe in, two breathe out. One breathe in, two breathe out. Good boy. There we go." Jimin smiled at the now relaxed young man.
"Now ask away." Jimin leant back, his sister now counting money next to him as he drank a giant milkshake.
"I came to ask why you took the necklace but... I guess I figured out the reason when I got here." He said quietly, now looking down at his boots.
"No shit kid." Jimin grinned.
"I can't ask for it back can I?" Jeongguk asked once more.
"Why? Is it valuable?" Jimin grinned mischievously. Jeongguk then got another glimpse at this man's character. He was a sweet talker and he knew immediately with the way he was staring at him.
"No. My mother complained at first but it had no sentimental value whatsoever." He mumbled.
"Rich people." Jimin scoffed. Jeongguk glared at him. "Not you I guess. You don't seem half bad yet kid." Jimin smiled then turned to his sister.
"Yeonie, how much we got?" He asked excitedly. She grinned as she shoved it back into a bag. "A couple thousand pounds Jiminie." She smiled. "Yes!" He hugged her tightly.
"Why do you need that much money in one go?" Jeongguk asked. "There is a small cottage in the country side that we see when we go on trips. We want to buy it for ourselves. The farmer knows us so he is saving it." Jimin smiled dreamily.
"You mean... away from the city?" Jeongguk asked incredulously. The girl, who he had learnt was Yeonie, looked at him curiously. She then gasped.
"You've never been out have you?" She said in amazement. He shook his head shyly, his fluffy hair bouncing adorably as he said no.
"Aw poor baby." Jimin pouted playfully. "Would you like to go?" Jeongguk's face broke out into the widest smile.

Miyeon couldn't help but stare at the man in front of her. He was beautiful. He had strong eyebrows that sat on top of probably the most innocent and large eyes she had ever seen. His lips were chapped, the top lip thin but the bottom fuller. His nose was large, but in a doting way where you wanted to tap it for fun. He had teeth that stuck out slightly but it added to the endearing personality he had so far. His jaw was sharp and his build was firm and strong, muscle clearly there underneath the shirt.
"Would like us to take you?" Jimin asked him. "You would?!" He clapped excitedly. Miyeon was internally cooing at him.
"If you're okay with traveling with two people you just met." Jimin grinned. "I mean... when you put it like that." Jeongguk looked nervous once more.
"Jimin stop messing with him." Miyeon slapped her brother at the back of his head. Jimin snickered but looked at his sister in adoration.
"How can I find you?" Jeongguk asked. "I know a way." Jimin smirked.
