"can we become firends?" He asked

I think of it and i looked at him. We aren't even friends but he has done so much for me.

"So it didn't hurt to be friends?" I thought but that wasn't the single thing "I don't have any pleasant past with friends everytime it's me or The others who just bang me out of their lives i wasn't even a friendly person even when i was a kid idk how meeshi is still with me..." My trail of thoughts was cut off by hoseok.

"Hey umm if you don't want to then it's okay" he said casually walking.

I didn't replied and kept my posture straight.

"Look there is his office" he pointed at the bhilding infront of us.

We both walked up the three stairs in the front then to be welcomed by a door. He knocked on the door and we both heard a voice.

"Who is it?"

"It's Jung hoseok, Sir" hoseok replied.

"Coming.." the man inside that place replied.

I felt nervous, alot more nervous my palms begin to sweat. It really is an important decision of my life I can do it. I took a deep breath.

"Oh hey Son, come in" the man who was in his 50s opened the door with smiling eyes.

"Thanks sir" hoseok replied the man step aside the door to welcome us in hoseok looked at me and gestured me to come in.

We both walked in and the man offered us a seat infront of his office table.

It was a nice office with pretty decor and some seating arrangement.

We both were sitting next to eachother as the old man was sitting infront of us rummaging through some files.

"So You are Choi y/n?" The old man said as he took out a paper and put it infront of me.

"Uh yes" i replied taking that paper.

"Hoseok told me you were his friend and this boy is so humble so I can't even decline his request" he smiled his wrinkles on full display as hoseok scratched the back of his neck.

"You can read this. It's an appendix of rules every renters need to obey" he discussed the details and i listened to him "and here" he put out anothe r paper "it's the agreement for first 6 months you hve to pay in advance and then following months you have to pay monthly rent" he finished.

"But the main reason is I don't have enough money to pay for 6 months together" i thought.

"Uhh sir can you compensate us with the first 6 months actually she just started her job and it will be difficult to get a loan this early" hoseok said as if he read my mind i mentally thanked him.

"Hmm" the old man sighed as if he was thinking about something.

After a minute or so he speak.

"Hmm okay only because i know hoseok for years now it's okay you can give the first two rents in advance" he said taking the paper he place earlier and writing something on it.

"Thankyou" i said

"Thankyou sir" hoseok also said.

"It's okay i can understand. Here.." he gave the paper to me and gave me a pen to which i signed on the required areas and hoseok signed too as a guarantee

"Okay so we are set now" the old man said and hoseok let out his hand to shake with him and thanked him again.

"It's okay son"

He stood up and went to his table and draw out some keys.

"Hoseok you already know about the apartment so you can show your friend it too. It's ready to move in" he said and put some keys on the table.

"These are the keys to your new apartment young girl" he smiled and signal me to pick them up.

I took those keys and stood up bowing to him.

" Thankyou so much sir" i said and hoseok also stood up.

"I guess we should go now it's already late now" hoseok suggested to which i nod.

" Okay and congratulations on your new home" the old man said and pat my shoulder.

"Thankyou" i said barely audible.

Then we both got out and started walking towards the street we came.

It was a dark blue night with a hint of sizzling sounds in the air but the atmosphere was soothing i was feeling relieved that I easily found a place to live in and it was all thanks to this man walking beside me just then i remembered his words while we were coming here.

"We can" i said to which he looked at me confused.

"What?" He asked softly

"We can be friends" i replied looking at him.

And just when these words came out his smile his heart smile ,his beautiful smile was on his face his eyes gleamed and something inside of me sparked.

"Thankyou y/n" he said happily. I smiled at him.

We were walking when my stomach growled and my eyes widened i am good at hiding my apetite. I guess hoseok didn't noticed it as we kept on walking.

"Should we eat? I haven't had my dinner." Hoseok looked at me out of the blue.

"Uh-"

"Please don't refuse It's a treat from me on your new house" hoseok said "i know a delicious place"

"Okay" I don't have any other choice beside i was hungry too.

After a walk of 10 minutes we reached a small restaurant by its look it was a traditional but at the same time it was looking of modern days too.

We got in and there was an old lady at the counter hoseok bowed at her.

"Hello aunt" hoseok greeted her.

"Oh boy" that women smiled and got out of that counter and hugged him. He hugged her back. It was a beautiful scene that women was so happy.

"You got so big" she ruffled his hair.

"Aunt I'm now a man" hoseok said laughing.

"No you are still a kid for me" she said smiling mischievously "oh you brought a friend" she looked at me and i bowed at her.

"Uh yeah she's my ... Friend" he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh hello young lady" she smiled at me and my lips curved into a smile.

"Hello I'm Y/n" i bowed again at her.

"Oh y/n such a beautiful name. And you got so elegant manners Your parents must be proud of you" she said as she walked in the main counters.

"Proud.... Parents..." I thought.

Hoseok's p.o.v

This is a restaurant i came many times when i was young. Sometimes with yoongi hyung and with jimin too. The lady here is like a mother to me she cared so much about me so i thought i should bring y/n here too.

"Your parents must be proud of you" just as she said that i saw all the smile fade out of y/n's face

And now i realised y/n is not on good terms with her parents.

I quickly changed the topic before something happens.

"Aunt can we have two sets of tteokboki along with bulgogi" hoseok ordered thier dinner.

"Sure go get yourself seated I'll make it" the old women said.

"Let's go sit somewhere" he asked a totally pale y/n.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked her.

"Oh uh yeah" she replied and they both went and took a seat on the west side of restaurant.

Jungkook's and meeshi p.o.v

They both had thier dinner and now were enjoying each other's company.

"Meeshi i have to tell you something" jungkook said as he put his wine glass down.

"What is it" meeshi asked

"I know you heard me when i was talking with my dad" he looked at her as she looked away.

"I dont intend to eavesdrop" meeshi fiddled with her fingers.

"Oh it's okay I know you dont" he said and let out a chuckle.

"So was it true? Are you going to states?" Meeshi asked a bit scared.

"Uh meeshi you see" he paused and took a sip of the red liquid again.

"My dad is the owner Jeon enterprises so it means I'm his successor the next owner of the Enterprises" he swirled the liquid in his glass.

"So he wants me to go to states and handle our business there" he looked at meeshi as she clutching on her glass as if her life depends on it.

"But you can stay here and handle the business here" meeshi give an option.

"I'd love too but father is old now and he can't travel to states now and then and handle both of the business and his health beside my mother can't bear air travel frequently" he told her the conditions.

"Oh..." Was the only think left her mouth as she looked at the glass again. They just started dating and long distance relationships to her always are poor. One day or the other they get tired of the wait and eventually broke up for thier own good

"We can keep a long distance rela-" jungkook was about to say but meeshi cut him off.

"No kook they won't work i know" she said.

"No we can make it possible" jungkook gave an exception.

"No you won't understand they can't" meeshi saod as she put the wine glass down.

"Hmm it's getting late please drop me at my house" meeshis said as she picked up her bag.

"No please listen to me" jungkook plead.

"It's okay I'll think about it" meeshi replied.

Jungkook paid for the bill and went out with her.

They both drove silently with a light music playing in the car.

He turned the car towards her alley and stopped it infront of her house.

She was about to get out when he held her wrist.

"Don't worry I'll figure out something for us" he assured her but she was not sure about thier future meeshi hummed and jungkook pecked her lips and bid her a good bye.

Hoseok's and y/n p.o.v

they were both sitting in silence until hoseok broke it.

"So y/n" i looked up at him.

"Do you have any siblings?" Hoseok asked casually so they should get to know each other better as they now are friends.

"No I'm the only child" i replied.

"Oh right me too" he said casually. "I was actually a orphan and i spent my childhood at an orphange"

My mouth formed an "o" shape should i feel sorry about him? But he is lucky he don't have parent like mine.

"Oh I'm sorry" i replied.

"No it's okay I was four when they passed away" he poured some water in the glass for both of us.

"Here" he passed me my glass.

"Uh can i ask you something?" He asked to which i looked at him what is it that he wanna ask.

"Uh what?" I asked.

"What about your parents?" He asked as he gulped hardly. We both maintained an eyecontact for a minute or so. Should i tell him? Can i trust him? What if he's just like everyone? Will he leave me?

"Uhm it's okay if you don't wanna talk about them" he shrugged his shoulders.

"I can't tell you anything about them sorry" i apologized sincerely.

"Oh it's okay i understand" "look our food is here" he stood up got our dinner from that old lady and helped her place it infront of us.

He thanked her and sat down.

"This looks delicious" he said smiling.

"Dig in" he passed me a pair of chopsticks.

I took it and took a bite. To tell that food wasn't utterly delicious would be an understatement and i was suddenly so hungry like i haven't ate for days.

"Isn't it tasty?" He asked taking a bite.

"It is" i replied and started eating more it was so delicious i remembered my mom's cooking.

We finished the food and was now drinking soju.
Not much but just to digest.

"Oh hey hoseok hyung" we both looked at the source and it was the cafe boy. His name is i think .

"Jimin" hoseok looked at him but he was with another guy.

"Taehyung wow you both are here" hoseok said as he stood up.

" Taehyung... It's familiar" i thought

"Hey hyung you are here too we came for a drink" jimin replied.

"Oh hello there" the said man looked at me

"Uh hello" i nod a little.

"Hyung i think we are disturbing you both can carry on we will come at your apartment someday" the black haired male said who was with jimin; taehyung.

"Oh we were about to go" hoseok said as he looked at me.

"Well then see you later" jimin said as they both walked to another table.

"I think we should go now" i looked at hoseok feeling a bit insecure.

"Oh it's okay they are best buddies" hoseok replied.

"No it's getting late" i stood up.

"Oh okay" he walked to the counter i was about to pay when he paid the old lady.

"I told you it was my treat" he said and smiled.

He then waved at the two boys who were drinking sitting on a table they both waved him back and we got out of that place.

We walked back to my house and honestly i didn't feel to tell him to get away and not come to my house. I think it's just my parents because i was afraid what if someone sees them fighting and starts pitying me.

"Okay then see you tomorrow" hoseok waved his hand at you.

"Thanks for the food" i thanked him.

"Oh it was our first meal as friends" he replied shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Okay then" i hesitated a bit but waved "s-see you" i locked the door and went to kitchen.

Poured myself a glass of water as i put the bag which have a contract file in it on the kitchen counter.

"Maybe he's a nice guy" a smile crept on my face i don't remember when i smiled like this. it was an unintentional smile.

I stood up and went to my room and changed my clothes.

As i was changing my shirt i grazed my fingers over the left over wounds on my forearms.

A feeling of fear rush in my whole body and i buried my face in arms keeping my legs close to myself.

The only sound in the whole house was the slow rotating of fan in my room.
It was utterly silent. No one was around me and now I'm alone.

I stood up and get on my bedside their i found my anti depressent pills.

I took two of them and gulped them down then i took out my bag and starting putting my other clothes in it. I have to move out of here as early as possible. Or i'm afraid I'll take my life in this loneliness....
