The more time I spend with you, the lesser barriers are between us.

I can see your beauty clearly now.

"SPECIAL SALEEEEEEE!!!!!!" you yelled, waking up Yoongi with a startle. He curses under his breath.

"WAKE UP!" you kicked his butt, and he immediately shot you the death stare.

"This better be fucking important" he sits up, ruffling his bed hair.

"Huh? All food is 50% off, if you can't walk you better crawl there" you plopped yourself beside him, tucking him into his coat. He leans his body on you sleepily and lets you wear it for him.

"We do need onions" Yoongi recalls the ones that were destroyed by Namjoon.

"Okay, then let's go ahjusshi" you pulled his hand, and he follows lazily.

-

"Shit" Yoongi curses as his eyes scanned the place packed full of ravaging middle aged aunties. They were all filling their basket with the discounted groceries.

"we gotta snatch the premium eggs and bamboo infused toilet paper" you rolled up your sleeve.

"Wait, you're kiddi-

Yoongi widened his eyes as you hooked your arm around his, dragging him into the crowd of pushing and shoving ahjummas.

"CATCH!" you threw him an onion, and he catches it perfectly, ending with a swag pose.

The teamwork began to progress as you fill the basket with a bunch of groceries. Soon, you got everything you needed and proceeded to check out.

"We're an infires team" Yoongi gave a gummy smile as he places the basket on the counter.

"Yoongi...." you stared at the counter nervously since you remembered you have no money.

".....you don't have any money right?" he scrunched his nose cutely. You nodded in response.

Surprisingly, Yoongi didn't murder you, but cooly paid for the items. He then carries all the bags for you despite looking like he had lost sleep.

"I'll pay back for my expenses when I find a job" you looked at him guiltily.

Yoongi turns to stare at you, raising his hand to pat your head in a gentle manner.

"It's fine, I like being with you" he smiles slightly.

You were a little taken aback from his sudden forwardness, since he always used to be cold and distant. Somehow, he had warmed up to you and began to speak his honest feelings.

"I still need a job though, I can't freeload off you forever" you sighed.

Yoongi pauses for a while, as if thinking hard about something.

"I have a question." He turns to face you.

Yoongi smirked as you nodded confusingly. He seems to have an idea.

"Do you want to work for me?"

"Did Yoongi overslept again?" Jin asked as he passes around the towels to the maknae group who were doing mating calls and jumping on one another.

"HIPHOP!!! TURN UP!" Taehyung slapped his slippers together.

"SCALE IS JUNGKOOK!" Jungkook rolled on the floor.

"YEAH MAN" Jimin looked into the mirror and slapped his jibooty.

The members all froze when the door opened, revealing Yoongi and you. You exchanged awkward glances with some of them who were still flapping around when you came in.

"Neighbour girl?" Taehyung plopped down on the dance studio floor, flopping around the long sleeves of his grey cardigan. His mouth was open, staring at you blankly.

Jungkook sat up from the floor, a little nervous that a female was in the room. He gulped innocently.

"She's...Shin Aeri, right?" Namjoon bowed to you, recalling the awkward first meeting at Yoongi's house.

"Namjoon right? The one who caused all the onions to-" you blurted out.

He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. In his hands were a broken pair of sunglasses.

"I brought her here because she's gonna help with composing our next title song" Yoongi walks over and lays on the floor.

"I get that, but what are you doing hyung?" Jimin poked his arm.

"stretching" Yoongi replied as he closes his eyes.

The rest of the time was spent introducing yourself to the members, and getting to know who were the key song writers in the group. Fortunately, you seemed to click well with most of them, and they each had their own personality.

"The title track is called I Need You" Jhope smiles widely, explaining it to you.

"We still haven't decided on the chorus though. Yoongi's working on most of the melody" Namjoon stares at the motionless pale boy on the floor. Yoongi was so still he looked like he's part of the floor.

"Jin hyung, I'm hungry" Taehyung whined, pouting cutely and poking the eldest.

"Yah pass me the takeout, I need to feed them" Jin nudges Namjoon.

Namjoon then swiftly hands over the food, and Jin began to dig out the plastic covers containing jajangmyeon.

"I'm surprised you ordered them earlier without breaking anything" Jin praised him as he gives the container to the hungry children.

"Where's the chopsticks?" Jungkook leaned over to look into the plastic bag.

"Here" Namjoon held up a bunch of snapped wooden chopsticks.

Jin stared at him speechlessly, regretting his decision earlier to let him handle the food.

"I'll go get some from the nearby convenience store. I want to eat something as well" you said as you covered Yoongi with Taehyung's cardigan.

"Gomawo!" Jhope gave you a thumbs up.

"Let's have a dance battle?" Jin wobbled his shoulders, gesturing at Namjoon.

-

"Fuck, so cold" you shivered as the breeze blew past, and you pulled your outerwear closer to your body. Yoongi had lent it to you, so the sleeves were long enough to hide your hands.

Smells like him. You blushed, walking quickly to the direction of the store.

As you turned into an alley way for a shortcut, your heart stopped when footsteps began to follow you.  Turning to look, there didn't seem to be anyone behind.

Shaking off the thought, you just briskly walked through the alley, quickening the pace.

"I warned you, didn't I?"

You felt cold metal pressing against the skin of your neck.
