Being in the room the whole day was boring. I heard boys behind the wall scream, rewatching last night's game. Didn't they have to study at all?!

Their screams made my head spin. I managed to finish my favorite book before lunch, go to a small diner and buy meat, because I was starving!

The rain was pouring the whole day, even without that I was in a bad mood, but recalling this morning, the corner of my lips lifted. I got it, nice Min Yoongi was much better when he wasn't being nasty and swearing a lot. I think we might become friends...

"I'm back," they said when you thought about a person, they'd always appear, "What is this smell?" he kicked off his shoes, tossed his clothes to the corner of the room, and took a seat in a chair. His hair was ruffled. And he looked worn out.

I placed the bag on the table, got the box and held it out to my roommate.

"I was hungry today so I bought meat," I spoke.

"Meat? Meat!" Min screamed and ran to get his chopsticks, "You get a fork. You can't eat with your right hand anyway," he shrugged and began eating. So much happiness with just a sight of meat...Yoongi, you're weird!

"T-Thank you...Haven't you eaten for a month?!" I asked, noticing how he was eating like a pig! "Eat slower," I heard some kind of murmuring in response.

We ate in complete silence. Although...wait. Not in silence. Silence that was filled with chewing sounds. God, where are your manners?!

After dinner, he just flopped on his bed and fell asleep. Yeah, why was I even expecting some kind of gratitude?

I cleared the table and sat on the floor. Should I wash my hair? I stood up, grabbed my stuff and went to the bathroom. I dropped everything on the nightstand and turned on the shower. Everything just fell out of my hands! The shampoo fell off and spilled, the soap slipped out of my hand and rolled up somewhere under the nightstand. Fûcking broken arm!

"Mindo, why so loud?!" Yoongi came in, scratching the back of his head.

"You didn't sleep long. I'm sorry, I need to wash my head, but..." I moved my hands to the side, and right at that moment, a strong rush of water poured into my face.

"Fuck!" Min jumped up and turned off the water. "Yeah, I guess your injury is pretty serious...since your childhood," and again Min Yoongi's jokes! "Let me help," he squirted shampoo in his hand and began rubbing it in my hair.

"Careful! It got in my eye!" I shouted, bending over the bathtub, "You don't do any real work here. Hyung, my eye!"

"Stop being a drama queen! If it wasn't for me, you'd still be with you dirty hair! I'm doing my best, and you're screaming here! How can I do everything properly if you don't let me?!" he barked and directed the water right in my face, "Take that!" and then I started laughing loudly, "It's funny, huh?!"

I sharply ripped it out of his hands and did the same thing to him. Yoongi immediately covered his face with his hand, but didn't stop laughing. I hadn't felt so good in a long time, so...happy?

"Ya, stop it! We're going to flood everything here!" the water turned off, "Look what you've done," my roommate pulled his wet shirt from his body, and then began taking it off.

"What are you doing?!" I covered my face with one hand and turned around, "Actually, you started it first!"

"Fine, fine, ahahah, I'll leave and you change your clothes here. And why are you even so shy, we're all humans, we've seen everything," he muttered, slamming the door.

I was sitting on the bed in already dry clothes. The sound of the blow dryer filled the room. Yoongi himself cared to dry my hair. For the second time, by the way! He did it carefully, as if I was his little sister. Thank you, Min Yoongi, for reminding me what being happy meant, what living meant...

"All done!" he said, "Why does your state give me so much trouble?" it was probably a rhetorical question, but I still answered him.

"Pfft, no one asked you to look after me. You offered me your help, and now you're complaining...."

"I want to look after you," he spoke barely audible, apparently, hoping I wouldn't hear him, but...I could hear my racing heart in this silence, I was scared Min could hear it, too. What was happening? Maybe I was sick? "Alright, I have a morning class tomorrow, I'm going to bed."

My roommate turned off the light and his back faced me, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I could see clearly that he changed drastically lately. Did something happen? He didn't snap at me anymore, although he would still throw biting words at me...

He woke up quickly, got ready and was about to leave, but the grunting noises of his roommate stopped him. He turned around. Her comforter fell on the floor, and the wind was blowing from the ajar window. Min moved closer to her, bent over to pick up the comforter to cover Miyeong.

"He's so cute when he's asleep, and his open mouth..." he muttered. Yoongi's eyes stopped on her lips for a second, but he shook his head, getting rid of those weird thoughts, "I'm out of my mind..." after those words, he placed the comforter on her and left.

It was pretty cool today, it felt like a real Autumn. Shivering, Min ran to the university building. His phone in his pocket rang.

"Hello?" he picked, holding his phone to his ear.

"Hey, Min, you haven't showed up in the studio for a long time. I met your hyung today, he said you had problems, are you ok?"

"What? Problems? No, I don't have any problems. I'm just studying a lot lately. Actually, I wanted to come today. I need to finish one lyric," Yoongi took off his scarf, putting it on the desk beside him.

"Ok, I'll tell the boss. I won't interrupt you, bye."

The first two classes passed unnoticeably, it was the break time. Min Yoongi went downstairs to the cafeteria to buy coffee and to have a snack. He ran into Jin. 

"Oh, long time no see," Jin began, "Let's go have a cup of coffee, I'm paying!" a wide smile appeared on his face, and he headed towards the vending machine.

"How's your store doing? Do you need any help?" the student took a sip and turned to his friend, waiting for an answer.

"Em, no..." he trailed off somehow hesitantly, "Taehyung comes and helps a little, so I don't think you being there is a good decision..." Kim lowered his eyes, smiling sadly. It was hard for him to watch his best friends argue and beat each other.

"Oh, well then...Yeah, he doesn't have anything to do anyway. He is wondering around everywhere, at least he does something," no anger or hatred could be heard in his voice anymore. It felt like everything suddenly vanished, only regret was left.

"Don't say it. He's not to blame that he got into an accident. You still blame him for all death sins..." Jin rested his cheek on his palm, looking at his friend, "Sometimes I remember how the four of us used to hang out together. I never thought some girl would ruin our friendship..."

"She wasn't 'some' girl, you know it. She was everything to me back then. I just couldn't forgive Taehyung since I ended up alone because of him. But now I think everything in this life is interchangeable."

"What do you mean?" a twinkling light was in Seokjin's eyes. He was waiting for his answer.

"That idiot Mindo showed up. I don't know...It's kind of...easy with him...?" Min  pondered, "I don't feel lonely because of him lately. Yes, he's very noisy and bothers me a lot, but he makes me a little bit happy...I don't know, hyung, it's complicated..."

"Wow, so you found a wife?!" Kim laughed, "Hm, Mindo has an amazing sister who looks just like her brother, and you...apparently, don't like girls?"
