As Jungkook laid his back on the soft and comfortable bed he was provided in his room, again his room, he couldn't stop himself from reflecting on the previous day's events
So many things had happened within a short period of time
If he could have gotten the chance to notify his family, he was positive they would call him crazy
But wasn't it crazy?
He got robbed of all his belongings
Seconds later a very weird guy- who he was a hundred percent sure was a criminal or something, with all those people following him around
He wondered how he was able to live his life if that amount of people followed him around every day
It was probably a one time thing
He thought and shrugged it off
Anyway, that guy he assumed was Kim Taehyung gave him money and even his jewellery
Just because he gave him his low-paid clothes in exchange for his cotton filled and comfortable clothes
Wasn't that crazy?
He chuckled
Jokes on him
He probably needed it to disguise from all those people
But the money wasn't really needed, seriously
But he seriously needed the money
Right after that, he was enveloped by the harsh and cruel social conditions of the people in Seoul
Not that he was saying the pedestrians were mean..
But yeah they were
The were very mean to him
They all ghosted him like he didn't exist
Crazy how he still managed to find his way there
Right in his assigned dorm with nothing to wear
His mind drifted off to Namjoon, who he thought he troubled through the previous night
But ended up being his roommate
That morning, he had left early and asked him to stay in for the day before he began his semester
"You're going to need that energy "
He said to him before stepping out of the room
Fortunately, Namjoon had given him clothes to change in after he took his shower that morning
And ohh boy, was that place cool and beautiful?
Don't let him get started on the fascinating things he saw in that room
The room they called wasn't just a room
The inside was built like a house
It had separate rooms,
It had separate bathrooms,
It even had a kitchen and a living room
The craziest thing was that he had his own bedroom and bathroom
He didn't have to share it with Namjoon or anyone
The structure of his bedroom was nothing he had ever came across
Maybe it was mostly because that wasn't how his house back in Busan was structured
The mattress on his bed was very soft and comfortable compared to the hard and uncomfortable concrete floor he slept on back in Busan
There were lights illuminating from the outlines of the wooden structured part of the walls behind his bed and beneath his bed
Even the floor in his bedroom wasn't concrete, rather, there was a soft cream colored carpet covering it
The walls in this bedroom were painted white with little details in them
Beside the brown door to his bathroom which perfectly complemented the wooden wall behind his bed was a very tall complex thing with drawers and a full-body-length mirror attached to one of it's doors
He assumed it was a closet for the clothes he didn't have
On the other side of the door was a flat black thing attached to the white wall
Is that a TV?
He asked himself the moment his orbs landed on it
There were so many little details in the room which fascinated him
In his bathroom, the floor was covered in white tiles with black patterns in them which felt rough beneath his feet
The room wasn't congested at all but it wasn't too big either
The walls were painted in cream white but a portion which had a shower stuck to the top most part of the wall was covered in white brick tiles from top to bottom
A glass fence separated the portion which had the shower and the water closet which was right beside a black painted mini wardrobe and a mirror on the wall
On the black mini wardrobe, there was a portion which was dipped in and looked like a huge bowl but had about four little holes at the base of it
He recognized it as a sink since he saw them at his old school's washroom
He looked back to the water closet
A dreamy smile adored his lips
His own toilet
He could shit all he wanted
This is the life
He told himself
At that point he couldn't be more proud of himself
While the took the interior of the room, his stomach began shout for food
He did well to ignore it through the past hours
But at that point it felt like his insides were begging him for a morsel of food
He decided to search through the kitchen he saw some hours ago
On exiting his room the third time that day, he was met with the rustic design of the place
Right ahead of him was the sizable hall which had a couple of doors on its walls
There were three comfortable couches with little toss pillows on them
And to his left was the kitchen
The place was just beautiful and unimaginable
He would have stood to admire a bit more but his stomach was angrily growling at him for food
His stomach had been able to suppress its yells since the day before
And he hadn't eaten throughout the day
He walked towards a kitchen counter
And the first thing he thought of was food
He figured out his way to the top shelf cabinet and opened it
There were tones of mouth watery snacks
His fingers traced them with a wide grin
"Not those"
He flinched and immediately retrieved his fingers
He snapped his head behind him from where the sound came from
"Not those
They are mine"
The pale young man's slurry words filled his ears
The young man sauntered towards him and grabbed a bag of chips from the opened cabinet
Upon observing his features carefully, Jungkook could tell he just woke up from his slumber
His cheek-bone length hair was messy and his cat shaped eyes were droopy
He was shirtless and he was very pale
He was so pale he stood a chance to run a competition with snow white
That was how pale he was
Upon finishing his task he just leisurely sauntered back from where he emersed from
Which was fairly one of the doors in the living room.
"Uhh.. okay"
Jungkook tried to avoid his growling stomach and closed the cabinet
He must be one of the roommates
He thought while going through other cabinets but all he could see was utensils
Finally, he opened a tall door which didn't look like it was there before
Probably because he wasn't paying attention to it
But he finally did and all he could see was beverages
Drinks and water
That was how he could classify them into
He took a bottle of water and chunked it down in hopes to shut his tummy
But it didn't, it only got worst
He kept searching until he found some eggs somewhere in a drawers
Finally
But the eggs weren't cooked
He had to cook them in order to eat them
New mission : Cook the eggs
Back in Busan they used a gas stove to cook but in that kitchen there was nothing like that
He couldn't even find the modern one he knew they had
Twisting, turning and pulling things
He accidentally pulled a small door in a wall followed by a little beep sound and a light emitting from the inside
Was that what he thought it was?
Is this a microwave?
It definitely was, considering it's structure
He saw them once or twice in the textbooks he borrowed from his mates back in busan
"Microwave"
He said fascinated
He didn't know how they worked but he was sure he would find out soon
Disregarding his lack of knowledge about the machine, he took a single egg as a 'try work' from the egg crate and placed it inside
He closed it and ran his fingers across the buttons on the machine and suddenly the egg began to move in a circular motion in it
He hunched his back to study the movement of the egg
But something didn't sit right with him
He read somewhere that the microwave produced quick heat to heat foods
So if he placed an egg into it then it should cook
Right?
It sounded dumb for an unknown reason
But then seconds later it hit him like a truck
" Microwaves produce quick heat
If they produced quick heat....
The steam is gonna build up in the egg faster
But the pores on the egg wouldn't be able to exhale the steam that fast
If it isn't able to exhale the steam
then-"
BOOM!!
The egg exploded in the microwave
He flinched and fell on the wooden floor on his ass
In shock, he stared at the machine with wide eyes
He was sure he almost had a heart attack
He just wanted to eat eggs
"Are you trying to kill us all or something"
There stood the pale shirtless guy again with his arms folded to his chest
"I-I was just trying to cook the eggs"
He tried to keep himself composed while the stood
But on the inside he wanted to run off and wail
He already missed his mother
If she were there, he wouldn't have gone through what happened
He began to tear up but he knew he had to play cool in front of the cool guy
"Well, couldn't you have used the stove"
"The stove?"
He felt dumb
Really dumb
There was a stove in there?
He knew it
It must have been hidden
"W-Where is it "
The other pointed at the counter top right in the middle of the kitchen
The counter top is the stove?
He thought and looked at the counter top
There was a black outline on the wooden counter top which had circles drawn with white outlines
Through his peripheral vision, he saw the other walk away
He would've watched him leave but he was already feeling weak in his bones he needed something to eat before he dropped dead
"Hey "
He called out for the other but he didn't seem to stop walking
Why were the people like that
"Hey please
I feel like I'm going to drop any second from now please~"
Jungkook jogged after the other and blocked his way
"What do you need"
He stared back at the younger with tired eyes
"I'm hungry
Please"
He brought his palms together to beg the other
"Just open the fridge"
The tired to leave but the younger blocked
"I can't see the fridge
I swear
I searched the entire place and there was no fridge"
The other only looked at his face with a scowl
He couldn't believe he had to stay with him
How old was he?
Fourteen?
He looked so young
He turned and made his way towards the fridge and opened it
See
That easy
"Are you joking
Or are you just blind"
The man had opened the door from which he took the water
But it was a different one right beside one from which he took the water
He thought it was a huge wardrobe they used to store water and drinks
It was filled with countless foods
From snacks to left overs of foods
"Oh"
He reached out to take a container of left over food
He opened it to take a bite but when he did it was so cold
"How do I heat them"
He lifted his head to search for the other but the other had vanished
Probably went back to his room
He resisted the thought of knocking on his door to seek for help
He seemed tired anyway
"I'll just look for something else"
