Strangers

Cover Up {Namjoon/RM FF}

After that awkward moment with the guys back at my new apartment, I found an excuse to excuse myself out of the apartment and left back to my car to get the rest of my belongings... However let's face it, I don't know if I can even step back in that apartment again. I mean I'm not saying that guys are making me run away... or that I'm scared of them...

But I already embarrassed myself in front of them... How am I supposed to look at them straight in the eyes without feeling awkward or even embarrassed...

I shook the negative thoughts out of my head and just pulled out boxes and suitcases out of the trunk and tried not to think. The more I thought to myself, the more I started to think of excuses to chicken out but those thoughts got interrupted when...

"Do you need help?" I looked to my right and I see a guy standing there with blonde hair looking right at me.

"Oh Um... No, it's okay.." It's not that I didn't want help, that wasn't the case. I just didn't want to embarrass myself any more than I already have...

"I insist." The guy grabs the box out of my hand and I knew that I couldn't say no now. I didn't know what to do to be honest, but I smiled and got a hold of another box.

"What's your name?" I asked the guy. I mean I might as well get to know him while he's helping me move these boxes up the new apartment. The two of us walked into the building and walked to the elevator doors.

"Jimin. Park Jimin." 

Hmm, Jimin. So far wasn't too bad. I mean he didn't have to follow me downstairs and offer to help but he's doing it out of his own will. There were only three boys out of seven that I knew their names.

I know Namjoon who happens to be my new roommate. Yoongi the grumpy one who wants me apologize yet I haven't gotten to that yet and Jimin. 

"Are you coming?" Jimin asks me as I continued to stand in front of the elevator lost in my thoughts. I nodded my head, smiled and stepped in. 

Oh my god how are my parents going to react when they ask to come over and they see I'm living with a guy? Oh gosh, they would probably drag me out of the damn apartment and throw holy water at me.

"Hey, Mina." I looked at Jimin as he called my name and he smiled.

"Don't worry too much about the boys. Especially Yoongi... They aren't bad guys... I mean they can be weird but you'll get used to us eventually."

To be honest I was surprised Jimin was taking the time to have a mini heart to heart conversation before the two of us entered back at the apartment.

"Is he always that grumpy?..." I awkwardly ask as I continued to watch the elevator take its time going up to my floor.

"Who Yoongi?"

"Yes..."

"Of course."

Great! To be honest I felt like snow white in this situation. What are these boys my seven dwarfs? Should I be singing to animals? Where is my prince charming?

"But don't worry, I won't let Yoongi get the best of you."

All I could do was smile and nod my head. At last the elevator door opened and the two of us walked out with my boxes in our hands and we walked to my new apartment hearing laughter from the other side of the door.

Jimin opened the door for the two of us and as I stepped in, they took one glance at me and all got quiet. Ugh, I don't like this one bit.

"We're back!" Jimin says as he sets down my box and they were all staring at me like I was some type of alien out of space.

This was going to get a lot of getting used to... I have no idea what to do or to say without being afraid that I will say something to get myself into trouble...

"I uh... Better get the rest of my things."

Before I could walk off, I felt someone grab my wrist and I completely froze and looked over at my hand and there I saw my new roommate holding onto my wrist. I noticed the way his lips curved into a smile and I couldn't help but notice his dimples popping up in each of his cheeks.

"Would you like some help?"

"Uh" I was speechless. Not because I was being put on the spot in front of all the boys but because I tend to be extremely awkward around attractive guys.

"Of course she needs help, follow me, boys," Jimin speaks and all I could do was just stand there and stare at them feeling completely speechless... I didn't even say I needed help?! What is happening?

"Can't she do this herself?" Yoongi spats annoyed and I was so quick to look down at the ground. I wanted to speak back to him but something stopped me. I rather keep my mouth shut and just stay myself out of trouble...

"Let's go!" Jimin says and all of the boys follow us to my car.

Finally, all my boxes and suitcases were finally in my new apartment and I just had to unpack and settle down. I thanked the boys as soon as we finished and instead of sticking around them and trying to conversate with the boys, I slowly dragged my things to my bedroom and tried to avoid them from this point on.

It's not that I didn't like the boys but... I have been embarrassing myself so much in one day... They probably think I'm some type of freak...

*Knock Knock*

I looked up and there I see my new roommate Namjoon standing at the doorway leaning against my door with his arm crossed right in front of him.

"Hey, are you busy?"

I stopped pulling things out of the box and looked up at Namjoon.

"Depends, why?" I mean I am unpacking but because Namjoon is asking I'm curious to know what he wants.

"Well, I see that you had a rough first start and I guess to make it up I thought maybe we should go get some ice cream... If you're up for it."

Ah, he even noticed that I had a rough start! I'm a complete mess in front of him and it's just the beginning.

"Um... With the boys?" I questioned low enough to not be heard, however, Namjoon heard my question perfectly fine if he was able to answer.

"No, don't worry they left." I stopped myself from unpacking and slowly looked at Namjoon and could see him smiling. Those dimples... Aish stop smiling, you're making me more nervous than I already am!

"Uh sure.." I lifted myself off the ground and was up on my two feet and I noticed Namjoon was still staring right at me...

What should I do?

"What's up?" I asked hoping he would enlighten me why he was staring at me so much and he just smiles again.

"Can I ask you something?" I instantly froze and stared at Namjoon.

"Well, you just asked something now,"

"True... But are you afraid of the boys?" I'm assuming he's talking about his friends... I mean it's not that I'm afraid of them however you know.. I BECOME A NERVOUS WRECK AND BECOME A COMPLETE MESS!

"Oh.. Uh no..." I grabbed my purse and I could hear Namjoon chuckling.

"Trust me, they aren't as bad as you think. I mean they can be a lot of work and you might see them more often but they are good guys." As soon as I reached the door of my bedroom I stood in front of Namjoon and I was standing right in front of him feeling a small ant.

"You're short," Namjoon comments on my height and I smiled.

"Tell me something I don't know." I'll try my best and be comfortable with him... After all, he is going to be my roommate... for the time being...

"To be honest I was expecting my roommate to be a male. But I mean a girl is pretty cool as well," Namjoon says grabbing a spoon from his ice cream cup and I smiled.

"I thought the same thing... I mean if my parents found out that my roommate is a guy, they would probably have a heart attack." Namjoon stopped himself from putting ice cream in his mouth and he looked right at me.

"Why?" Ah now, this was the moment when the two of us slowly start opening up and slowly start updating each other on things they should and should not know.

"Well... I mean... they are parents, what do you expect." I bought the spoon to my mouth and I looked at Namjoon nodding his head.

"Well, since we are roommate... I assume we are going to have some rules, am I right?" I'm surprised that Namjoon was going straight for the rules. You know what I was overreacting about the whole idea of having a male roommate this whole time.

He seems to be responsible...

"Yes... Did you read my mind?" I asked him and he chuckles and shakes his head.

"Yeah, I have secret powers if you didn't already tell." Namjoon teases and I giggled and brought another spoonful of ice cream to my mouth actually enjoying this little moment the two of us were having.

"Well do you have any rules you want to start us off with today?" I questioned Namjoon and he looked around and then looked at me.

"Um not really, I mean I would love to hear what type of rules you have prepared for us," Namjoon says smirking going in for another bit of his ice cream and I smirked.

Ah first time living with someone who was a total stranger to me... But I know what we can make this work. I believe that.

Rules that were eventually made:

If you use the last of a toilet paper roll, restock it

The two of us have to have an equal amount of chores.

Rotate taking out the trash.

When the bedroom door is closed, that means we need our personal space.

If you want to have one friend crash on the couch, you can alert the others a day before or that same day, just make sure your roommate is aware.

And the two of us almost finished our list till something came up.. Namjoon is a guy. He's bound to bring a girl over and have with her and I definitely don't want to hear that. So we had to come up with rules based off of that.

"So I know you're a guy, well duh... And I know you're bound to bring a girl home... But when you do, please warn me. Like if I'm home we need a code word to tell me to leave. Or if I'm out and I come home put a sock on the doorknob so I know not to go in, you know?" I said as I grabbed my spoon and moved it around in the ice cream.

"Sounds good to me. I'm assuming the same goes for you?" Namjoon asks and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure, but I'm sure you won't have to worry about me bringing anyone over." Namjoon didn't say a word after I made that comment but it's true.

"And I'm assuming we have that one rule that all roommate must have before moving in am I right?" What rule was Namjoon referring to? I tilted my head to the side and looked at him a bit confused.

"What rule?"

"The rules where the two of us shouldn't fall in love with one another." Did he really just say that out loud? I looked around and then looked back at Namjoon.

"I don't think we don't have to worry about that." I smiled and I grabbed a scoop of ice cream again from my spoon.

"True, but just thought it should be mentioned eventually! But those are all the rules am I right?"

I tried to think of any more rules but none came in mine.

"Yes, that's all."

"Roommates?" Namjoon asks stretching out his hand going in for a proper handshake and you went in, grabbed his hand and gave him the handshake he was looking for.

"Roommates."

"I should probably warn you about something," Namjoon starts saying as the two of us were in front of our new apartment building. I stopped and stared at him.

"Warn me about what?" Namjoon warning me could be about anything. I have no idea if I should be scared or not, but I was ready to listen.

"I kinda... destroy anything I touch." Destroy?

"What do you mean?"

"I just have terrible luck, one time I was reaching a towel from a hanger and I have no idea how... But the hanger seemed to break." My eyes widen and I couldn't help but to stop and just die of laughter. How was that even possible?

"Ah, it's okay. Just try not breaking any of my things." I said patting him on the shoulder and Namjoon automatically smiles.

"I make no promises." Namjoon pressed the elevator button to go up and the two of us stood there in complete silence till finally one of us talked.

"Hey, I never asked you... What are you majoring in?" Namjoon asks me and I was a bit taken back but I smiled.

"Film and Media you?" I asked Namjoon and at last, the elevator door opened right in front of us.

"Engineering."

"Look at you, the boy who's going to make the big bucks." I giggled nudging him and he laughs. As we stepped into the elevator I suddenly felt a huge wave of tiredness just randomly hit me. I couldn't help but feel a yawn ready to come out. I quickly covered my mouth and I yawned. Namjoon looks over my directions and laughs.

"Tired already?"

"Can you blame me?" I asked giggling and Namjoon smiles.

"Well if it makes you feel any better at least we got that hardest part over with," Namjoon says smirking and all I did was stare at him confused.

Hardest part? What was that? I was about to open my mouth till the elevator came to a stop and as soon as the door opened Namjoon walked out, causing you to follow right behind him.

"Hardest part?" I asked as he pulled out his keys from his pocket. Before making any sudden moves, Namjoon looks at you and smiles.

"Getting to know one another." That was true... Here I was getting all worked up about if my roommate would like me or not, and now I'm talking to Namjoon like nothing.

"True, but there is a lot you still don't know about me." I blurted out and as soon as the door was opened, I winked at Namjoon and walked back to my bedroom.

THE NEXT DAY

*BZZ BZZ* I opened my eyes and looked to my right and there I see my phone just laying across from me. I looked at my clock and it was only 8 in the morning. Why am I being woken up at this time?

I grabbed my phone and there I see a text from younger sister Rose. Aish why is she awake so early? I clicked on the text feeling my eyes squinting since my eyes were trying so hard not to close.

UNNIE! I know you're probably sleeping but I'm on my way to your new apartment with Omma and Appa! WAKE UP

My eyes widen and I quickly sat up. What?! ! I just moved in yesterday! I haven't even had the chance to call up my parents and tell them my roommate is a guy! The moment they walk through those doors I am dead!

I grabbed my phone and called my younger sister feeling my heart beating out of my chest. I'm going to go completely crazy.

"Hello?" At last Rose answers and I knew I had to act calm.

"Hey, um... are you on your way to my apartment now.." I asked trying to keep a relaxed tone and my sister just laughs.

"Yeah, we will be there in less than ten minutes."

"Oh... I gotta go bye." I hanged up and threw my phone on the side.

In no time, I pulled myself out of the damn bed and ran to Namjoon's door. I hate to do this but he needed to leave at least just for now. I can't tell them the news about having a guy as a roommate.

"Ah." In no hesitation, I began to knock on the door repeatedly hoping Namjoon will wake up.

"Namjoon!"

I could hear him on the other side complaining to himself till at last, he opened the door having his eyes squinting and his hair a complete mess. On top of that, he was only in his boxers... Me being an awkward mess I couldn't help but to look down and check his body until I realized what the hell I was doing. I shook my head and looked at Namjoon.

"You have to get out of here."

"Huh?"

"Look I'll explain later! I just need you to please be gone for the morning please!" I said as I put my hands together and began to make a puppy face hoping he would budge.

"What is going on?"

Aish I was going nuts. But I didn't want to hear my parents early in the morning telling me to pack up and listen to them about letting me move out was a bad idea. I don't want to hear it.

"Fine... I'll go.. Let me put clothes on at least and watch up." Namjoon mumbles before turning around and entering the room and I smiled.

Good! I looked down at myself and my eyes widen. I should probably get cleaned up too.
