"Damn it, Oli!" You wake up and you're greeted the next morning by a shout from the next room. Widening your eyes, your body jerks up from your soft mattress. You spring yourself towards the door and immediately run towards your door, grabbing the nearest weapon nearest to you. This happens to be one of your high heels.

Rushing towards the source of the sound, you're breathing heavily once you arrive at none other than Seokjin's room.

You slam one hand against the door frame, using it to hold your weight as you inhale deeply to catch your breath. You're staring at the floor as you speak.

"What's going on? Is there a break-in? Did someone-" you look up and are met with a wide-eyed Seokjin. His lips are formed in a small 'o' shape as he looks over at you. He uses one hand to cover his mouth and it's then when you notice why he's shouting so early in the morning. "You stayed up all night playing Maple Story, didn't you?" you question before fully standing up straight as you roll your eyes. You blow some air upwards to get the mess on your head that you call hair out of your face.

He's sitting at his computer desk, one hand on the mouse while the other rests on top of his mouth. He slowly nods his head and apologetically bows his head.

"I'm so sorry, did I wake you-"

"YES," you interrupt before crossing your arms, putting all of your weight onto one hip as you stare in his direction. He presses his lips together, immediately shutting up as he stares in your direction. "Yes, Jin. You woke me up at," you glance over at his alarm clock sitting by his bed and furrow your eyebrows. "Four in the fucking morning." He winces at the tone of your voice before he scratches the back of his head.

"Do you have work today?" he asks. You shake your head.

"You're really fucking lucky that the manufacturer scheduled a meeting with me tomorrow." You make your way into his room and use your heel to gently hit his arm, causing him to jump as he gives you a death glare.

"No need to get violent, Y/N." he states before turning his attention back to the screen.

"You know, you've still never taught me how to actually win this game." You subconsciously mumble out. Glancing over at you, he turns his chair to face you.

"Do you still want to learn?" you nod your head and he grins momentarily. "Alright. I'll teach you how a master does it," he states before standing up from his chair. "After I make you breakfast." He takes your hand and leads the way out of his room, dragging you along with him as he makes his way towards the stairs.

"I can make some cereal-" you're interrupted by Seokjin pausing in his steps as he looks back at you almost as if you suddenly grew a second head.

"Cereal?" he scoffs. "You have a professional chef who cooks for you every morning and now all of a sudden, you want cereal?"

"You've been cooking a lot-"

"Yeah, that's what you pay me to do." He lets out a laugh before rolling his eyes. "Anyways, what do you want for breakfast? Crepes? An omelet? Leftover cake from last night?" he states before his windshield wiper laugh escapes his lips.

"I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to-" you're about to finish talking when Seokjin interrupts again.

"Yah, that's so unhealthy. You're small, you need some nutrition in your body." He states while using his free hand to poke your cheek gently.

"But you offered," your lower lip juts out as you two make your way into the double doors of the kitchen. "And might I remind you that you woke me up at four in the morning. You should let me eat some of the apology cake since you do owe me an apology for waking me up so ridiculously early." He merely rolls his eyes before smiling back at you. He releases your hand as he starts gathering ingredients for breakfast.

"I'll serve you a small piece of cake, alright? But only a small one." You furrow your eyebrows.

"But I want a big one." You arch an eyebrow. Seokjin continues moving as he mumbles loudly enough for only you to hear.

"We both know you do but you're not very good at finding big ones, now are you, Y/N?" he smirks. You arch an eyebrow and cross your arms before looking at him as he starts whisking some eggs in a bowl for an omelet.

"I don't understand you." You state before shrugging your shoulders. "I still don't get what these jabs are for."

"Jabs?" he questions before glancing back at you. "Are we boxing now?" he lets out a soft laugh before looking back at the food as he cooks. You roll your eyes before walking towards him and crossing your arms.

"The jabs at my choice in men. What's with that?"

"You know, Y/N, you come off as a girl who hates cocky guys yet those are the guys you choose to sleep with. Why is that?"

"Why are you questioning what kind of guys I sleep with?"

"I've given you a speech about it a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly." he shrugs before looking up at you. "I just want you to be careful. You're smart and strong and I know that you know you deserve better."

"I am careful."

"Really?" he flips the omelet in the pan, refusing to make eye contact again. "Because Min Yoongi would disagree." You immediately shake your head.

"I don't care about what Min Yoongi would say." He lifts up his spatula and points in your direction.

"Ah, see. You don't think these men are worth listening to, so why sleep with them?" You merely roll your eyes, deciding that you don't want to talk about this at four in the morning. You decide to step away from him to grab a clean plate from your pantry. You place it onto the kitchen island counter before stepping towards the fridge. You lift the cake carefully and place it on the island counter before grabbing a cake knife and cutting into the cake to get a small piece. It plops onto your plate, some of the frosting rubbing off onto the plate as Seokjin glances back at you before shaking his head as he scolds you. "Aish, you really can't cook, can you? You can't even get a slice of cake without getting the frosting everywhere."

"So? I'll lick the plate clean." You shrug your shoulders before placing the cover over the cake and putting it back into the fridge.

He merely closes his eyes for a moment while pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger. There's a small smile on his face as he does this, trying his hardest not to laugh.

You walk towards the dining room table and plop onto one of the seats before using your fork to stuff a large piece of the cake into your mouth.

"Mmm..." you mumble before taking another bite of the cake.

The minute you finish cleaning the plate, you lift the dish and start to lick the frosting that got onto the plate. After fully licking the plate clean, you're greeted by another plate being placed in front of you. There's an omelet with cheese, chives, and many other ingredients inside of it with some steam coming from the dish.

Your eyes look up at Seokjin. He has his jaw dropped a little while he stares down at you. You've only seen that look in Seokjin's eyes one other time. It was when he made the joke while saying his problem with you sleeping with men was that he wasn't one of those men.

You bring the plate away from your face and he snaps out of it immediately before grabbing the plate from you. He shakes his head and immediately turns his back to you, placing the plate into the sink. The water starts running and he rolls up his sleeves, exposing his forearms as he starts to wash the dish, his back still facing you.

Your eyes look down at the omelet and you shrug your shoulders before placing your fork back into your mouth. You clean the fork of the remaining frosting before reusing the fork for the omelet.

The omelet is much more savory and delicious than it looks. You pig out on the omelet and by the time Seokjin turns around to face you, the omelet is almost half finished.

"Yah! You're supposed to eat that with ketchup." You pause and look up at him as he places a ketchup bottle on the table in front of you. "It doesn't taste as good without ketchup." You look down at the ketchup before looking back up at him. He has a strict expression on his face and you immediately shrug your shoulders.

"I like the way it tastes already. Ketchup would make it too intense for my liking." You dig your fork into the omelet again and stuff more of it into your mouth.

"What? Are you sure?" he questions while looking down at you. You look up at him and nod your head.

"Yeah. I don't see a point in having ketchup on it. It already tastes good." Seokjin merely stares at you for a moment before he smiles softly.

"You know, you're one of the few people who doesn't criticize my cooking."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah," he states before plopping onto the seat next to you. "I appreciate it." He looks over at you expectantly. Your eyes meet his and you smile softly.

"You're a good chef, Jin." You finish eating the omelet before standing up from your chair, taking your plate to the sink. You decide to wash this dish since Seokjin already washed the one with cake on it.

"Thank you," he states before standing up. He stands beside you as you clean the dish, your sponge moving along the hard material of the plate. "So... now that you've eaten, do you want to learn how to play Maple Story?" You look over at him while furrowing your eyebrows.

"Shouldn't you eat too?"

"I can hold off. I had a snack an hour ago." He gestures towards his room. You turn off the water and place the clean dish on your dish rack before nodding your head.

"Okay, sure." You smile softly before grabbing the towel next to you and drying your hands.

The two of you make your way back upstairs and you furrow your eyebrows.

"Who's Oli, by the way?" You question while looking back at him. You pause on the steps of the stairs while he looks up at you, letting out a soft laugh.

"Oh, Oli's just one of the people I was playing with when I woke you up." He states before laughing. "Sorry about that again, by the way." You merely roll your eyes before you laugh and continue walking to his room.
