“I was coming to wake you up…can we eat breakfast before we go?”

Y/N laughed and nodded her head. “What would you like to eat, baby bear?”

Taehyung’s face flushed at the nickname that he still hasn’t gotten used to and mumbles out his request for whatever Y/N felt kind enough to make. Y/N kept that in mind, knowing that the rest of the guys were most likely still asleep, so she settled on making street sandwiches with a twist; instead of toast she made kimchi pancakes to act as the bread with a fruit salad on the side. While cooking, Jungkook woke up and he wrapped his arms around Y/N’s waist, still half asleep. Y/N giggled and let Jungkook nuzzle his face into the crook of her neck as she flipped the pancakes.

“It smells good…” Jungkook grumbled as he looked over Y/N’s shoulder. 

“It’s almost ready. Do you want coffee? I can make you a caramel mocha.”

“I want one!” Taehyung chirped from his seat at the island and Y/N nodded her head. She patted Jungkook’s arms and moved him over to sit beside Taehyung. Y/N made their drinks and hurried out the kitchen to wake the other men in the dorm for breakfast. Hoseok, Yoongi, and Namjoon had no problem waking up. Jimin was the problem child and Y/N had to snuggle with him for a few moments before he woke up enough to get out of bed. As Y/N started to plate the food, Jungkook set the table and Taehyung made everyone coffee. Namjoon took notice of Taehyung’s outfit and commented on the time, wondering where the younger man was going.

“I found two places that might work for Y/N. I wanted to go with her while she checked them out.”

“Where are they at? Close by?” Hoseok questioned.

“Mmmm…” Taehyung thought about the distance and nodded his head. “Maybe an hour or less away depending on how we all travel. They are in Gyeonggi-do, which would work. No one would expect us to be there since our dorm is in Seoul.”

The guys all nodded their heads in agreement and Y/N sighed, catching the attention of Yoongi who raised an eyebrow. 

“You good, Y/N?”

“Yeah…just tired of looking at places.”

“You two haven’t been able to narrow anything down?” Jungkook had a pout on his lips and Y/N shook her head.

“It’s harder than I thought it would be.”

Having nothing left to say, Y/N finished her food and headed to Seokjin’s room to get herself ready for the day. Y/N threw on a pair of boyfriend jeans and a white oversized button up shirt that she tucked in the front of her jeans with black heels and large hoop earrings. Y/N wrapped her hair up in a light blue scarf and threw on a little makeup before she headed into the living room. Yoongi is sitting on the couch dressed in a black multicolored sweater and ripped jeans with some fancy black Timberlands. Y/N sat on the couch with Yoongi and kicked her feet up into his lap. Yoongi moved his arms to rest on top of Y/N’s ankles and raised an eyebrow at her nail polish choice.

“Pink and yellow sparkles?” Yoongi commented with his lovely gummy smile.

“I know, right? Awesome!”

Taehyung had failed to mention that Yoongi would come along for the ride…as the driver while Y/N took the passenger seat. Taehyung had no problem taking the backseat as he acted as the DJ for the forty-minute drive to Gyeonggi-do. It would have been twenty-five minutes, but traffic was rough due to an accident on the road. While driving, Like a Fool by Nive ft. Sam Kim played and Y/N started singing alone. Taehyung joined in covering Sam’s parts and Yoongi got it all on video to show the guys later.

“We can get out here and walk,” Taehyung explained as he told Yoongi to pull over and park. Taehyung pulled a mask onto his face before he jumped out the car and opened Y/N’s door. He offered his hand to help her out of her seat and Y/N grabbed Taehyung’s hand, allowing for the younger man to help her out since she nearly tripped trying to avoid a puddle. 

“What’s the address of this place?” Yoongi asked, adjusting his mask as the three of them started to head towards the apartment. Taehyung rattled off the address and Y/N looked around the neighborhood as they walked. There were a lot of homes and four-story buildings with a few shops scattered here and there. A large park was across the street from the road that they drove in on and Y/N felt the small flicker of hope burn in her chest. It didn’t seem like such a bad neighborhood to live in. Taehyung stopped in front of a tall building that looked a little out of place and he opened the door for Y/N and Yoongi. “What floor?” Yoongi wondered out loud as he glanced around at the people coming in and out of the building.

“The eighth floor…apartment number G73. I have to call the realtor; we can’t use the elevator without a keycard.”

“Keycard? Sounds pretty safe and I see they have security too.” Yoongi pointed out two guys walking around the entrance dressed in black and white with stun guns at their waist.  “You’re on a higher floor that only the residents have access to and a working elevator.” Yoongi nodded his head clearly impressed so far with Taehyung’s choice. After Taehyung got off the phone, he sat down on one of the chairs and Y/N sat beside him. Yoongi sat down as well and the three of them people watched until the elevator dinged, and a younger looking woman dressed in a three-piece gray suit stepped out. 

“That’s the realtor,” Taehyung informed the group before he stood up and shook the woman’s hand with a light bow.

Apartment G73 was something out of a movie. A very high class romcom came to Y/N’s mind but she kept that thought to herself as she walked around the apartment with Yoongi right beside her. The apartment was a two-bedroom, two-bathroom open loft style two level apartment, that totaled 825 square feet in all. There was a large glass wall partition on the farthest wall of the kitchen that separated the kitchen and second bedroom that had a gorgeous en-suite bathroom. There was an in-unit stacked washer and dryer tucked neatly away in the bathroom closet, too. 

A private balcony breaks from the first-floor bedroom that follows the length of the whole bedroom wall that is connected by a large glass sliding door. In between the kitchen and living room there was a spiral staircase that led to the second floor where the bedroom is again hidden behind a glass wall partition. Floor to ceiling windows overlook the neighborhood below and give the room an ample amount of natural light. Two doors in the bedroom led to another en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. 

“So, what do you think? It’s beautiful, right?” Yoonah, the realtor asked with a smile on her face.

Y/N agreed the apartment was beautiful, the western modern style made her feel like she was back home visiting New York or Chicago. The colors were a little on the boring side, simple whites and gray, all very clean cut. The only major issue Y/N had with the apartment was the kitchen, it was small and lacked an island, but she could always buy a mobile one. Y/N didn’t want to jump on the apartment right away, there were still at least two more places to look at according to Taehyung. Y/N made a list of what she liked about the apartment before they followed Yoonah to the other two apartments. Around two thirty, Y/N had her mind made up and she signed a year lease for apartment G73.

“Yah! Be careful, Taehyung-ah!” Seokjin scolds as he holds the latter for Taehyung while he paints the bedroom wall on the first-floor sage green. Y/N is in the kitchen washing her new cutlery, glasses, and plates while her bluetooth speaker plays some r&b. The apartment is slowly coming together with the help of the guys. Seokjin was over the moon when Y/N told him that she signed a lease, and he was even more excited when he realized that he could buy Y/N a few housewarming gifts. Y/N laughs as Seokjin and Taehyung bicker with each other and she steps away from the sink, drying her hands on a towel. Smiling, Y/N walks into the guest bedroom that also doubles as her home music studio, and she watches as Taehyung nearly drops the paintbrush in his hand on Jin’s face.

“Yah! Stob it!”

“Okay, boys. Why don’t we take a break, yeah?” Y/N crosses her arms over her chest and leans against the door frame. “Lunch should be here any moment. Wash up.” 

“Lunch?” Taehyung’s whole face lights up at the mention of food and Y/N smiles nodding her head.

“You gotta put the paintbrush down if you want to eat, baby bear.” Y/N teases and Seokjin shouts in protest as Taehyung thrusts the paint brush into his hand. Taehyung scrambles down from the ladder and hurries to wash his hands in the bathroom.

“Ashii, that brat…no respect at all.” Seokjin pouts and Y/N walks into the room. Placing her hands on Seokjin’s chest she presses a quick kiss to his lips and Seokjin sighs and rests his hands on Y/N’s hips making sure to keep the paintbrush away from her clothing. “How are the dishes coming along, beautiful?”

“I think I would enjoy a dishwasher instead.”

Seokjin chuckles and kisses Y/N’s forehead. “I think you make an excellent dishwasher.”

Y/N sucks her teeth and pushes Seokjin away from her just as the doorbell rings. “Wash up, Jinnie.” Y/N leaves the bedroom with Taehyung hot on her heels and he helps her carry the bags of take away to the dining room table that was set up the day before. Seokjin walks over to the dining room table and Y/N is quick to push him towards an empty chair. “Relax, I got you.” Running a hand over Seokjin’s broad shoulders, Y/N starts to make a plate for Seokjin and sets it in front of him while Taehyung grabs glasses from the cabinet. Seokjin smiles up at Y/N and accepts the kiss to his forehead that Y/N offers before she takes the seat to his right while Taehyung sits to Seokjin’s left. 

“Wow! Mmph!” Taehyung whines as he burns his tongue and Seokjin pushes his glass of water into his hands. “T-thanks hyung.” Taehyung breathes out after he downs half his water. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and sighs. “It’s really good!” Blowing on his food this time, Taehyung digs in and Y/N giggles as his cheeks puff up from eating.

“What are you going to do with the room on this floor?” Seokjin turns his attention from Taehyung and focuses on Y/N as they eat. 

“I’ll keep it as a guest bedroom in case any of you need a place to crash, but it’s gonna be my music room for the most part. My Mom is sending over some of my extra recording equipment, and I’ll buy the rest while I’m here.”

“Are you going to soundproof the room?” 

“A little, but nothing too crazy. I don’t plan on recording a full album or anything like that. It’s just gonna be rough copies that I’ll have to polish up in a real studio.”

“I can’t wait to see how everything turns out, Noona. I like the paint colors so far…how did you convince them to let you paint?” Taehyung wonders and Y/N shakes her head.

“Convince? I just asked if I could, and they said sure. I read through my lease, and they give me a lot of artistic freedom. I have a few changes I want to make to this place, but nothing major.”

“What else do you want to do?” Seokjin gives Y/N a weary look knowing that he will be the one that will be doing most of the heavy lifting if need be.

“It’s mainly the light fixtures that I want to change and add a few more. This place has so much space, but it doesn’t give much light unless I keep the partitions open all the time.” Y/N motions to the opened partition that lets in the natural light.

“The balcony needs some lighting too and I want to utilize that front space upstairs in front of the partition…maybe like an office or a reading nook. I haven’t really decided yet.” Y/N takes a sip of her wine and Taehyung smiles as he tries to picture what Y/N will do to the apartment.

“Can I pick?” Taehyung offers and Y/N nods her head.

“Sure, go head.”

“You should do a reading nook. Can’t you just use this table when you have to do real work or use the desk in the second room?” Taehyung takes a bite of his chicken and swallows before he speaks again.

“We can build a bookshelf and put it against the partition, maybe match whatever wood you choose for the main bedroom and bring it out into that space to pull it all together.”

“Do you want to help me design it?” Y/N offers, and Taehyung nods his head excitedly. 

“This is gonna be so much fun!” Taehyung beams and Seokjin groans…Taehyung has no idea what he just signed up for.
