yoongi woke up to the sound of piercing screams. usually he would just put is headphones back in and go back to bed when he was woken up. but since he knew that someone just recently moved into the apartment next to him, he decided to get his lazy ass up and go see what the hell was going on. the screams continued as he grabbed a small kitchen knife to protect himself, because who knows what could be going on in there? and he was sure as hell not trying to get murdered tonight.

silently, yoongi crept out into the hall of his apartment complex, kitchen knife still clutched in on of his pale hands. he prepared himself for the worst as he knocked a few times on the door next to his own. nothing changed, there was still loud screams coming from inside even after he knocked. so, he tried knocking again, a bit louder this time, though it made him nervous to do so. suddenly it all became silent, the screams had finally stopped. only seconds later, a small boy with pile of his messy hair on his head came to the door.

"h-hello?" the boy said, trying his very best to rub the sleep from his tired eyes and seem as normal as possible in front of this new guy. yoongi proceeded to quickly hide the knife behind himself, knowing now that there was no real threat to his well being. just a very cute, very sleepy looking boy. (to his surprise)

"hi, um- i just um- well i- i heard some screams coming from in here and i just wanted to come and make sure everything is alright. oh and my name is yoongi, by the way, im your neighbor." yoongi (sort of) explained to him, his awkwardness radiating off of him in waves and he hoped he didnt sound too strange. this boy was extremely attractive, yoongi realized, and he was finding it especially difficult to form proper sentences at the moment.

the boy nodded slightly and bowed respectfully, assuming that yoongi was older than him. "nice to meet you, yoongi hyung. im jimin. park jimin. i- im so sorry i woke you up, i'll try and be quieter." jimin said softly, sadness and guilt filling his eyes with each word. he hated to burden people, especially when it was very cute boys who live next door and come over to check on him. yoongi tilted his head to the side in confusion, sensing jimins sad mood. "i-i don't mean to be nosy or anything, but why were you screaming?" yoongi said all of a sudden, almost regretting his words in fear that he was being rude in some way.

jimin sighed and opened the door wider, "would you like to come in? i can explain over some coffee if you want." jimin shot him a small smile and lead him inside at a nod of yoongi head. he usually wasnt this open with new people, but honestly what has he got to loose? they sat down and jimin offered yoongi coffee, to which he politely declined, jimin began to explain himself. he cleared his throat, to stall just a tad bit longer so he could try and gather all of his thoughts. he hadnt slept very well in a long time and he had always had trouble doing that.

"um- basically, i have a rare condition called nightmare disorder. there is a long scientific name for it, but i cant be bothered to remember it. what happens is; i have very vivid and most of the time horror filled dreams almost every night. there are very few nights when they don't come, but it doesn't happen often at all." jimin explained quickly, trying to get all of his words out at once. he was already afraid that this would freak out the boy in front of him.

"the nightmares are usually very scary and target some of my biggest fears, sometimes they seem so real i- its terrible. anyway, i have different reactions to each dream, sometimes i scream, like tonight, or i cry, or move and punch and kick. there is no cure as of right now, but i do take sleeping pills which help calm my reactions down some. i don't ever talk about the ones i can remember so please don't ask, but most of the time i can barely remember much from the dream, anyway." he explained with a rather sad look on his face.

yoongi ran his hand through his hair while he processed all of the information jimin had just told him. he then looked up at jimin, and now realized just how fucking cute he actually is (well, not exactly just realized). yoongi could just melt right there on the spot. "o- oh, im sorry. it must be hard." yoongi said, offering him a smile. he had wanted to sound more gentle and caring, but he never really was great at that sort of thing. he hoped he sounded sincere.

the boy nodded hesitantly and gave him a slight smile back before looking back at the ground. he felt exposed and kind of weird, and he didnt exactly know what to do about it. "again, i am so sorry that i woke you." jimin quietly apologized all of a sudden with a distressed look on his face. he really was so, so sorry and he just couldnt get over the fact that he had bothered this tired looking mans slumber. 

"dont worry about it. we live in the city, im used to loud night noises." yoongi chuckled, trying his best to lighten the mood and calm the boy in front of him down. he really shouldnt have to apologize, yoongi was used to long nights at the studio anyways, loosing some sleep was a usual thing for him. it was really no bother. jimin smiled warmly and turned his head to look at the time, "oh its already five in the morning, i have to be at dance school soon! are you sure you don't want any coffee?" jimin asked yoongi as he slowly stood from his seat to make himself some. 

yoongi then remembered that he had to be in the studio soon as well, so he nodded and agreed to jimins offer, knowing that he would need the energy to get to work. "where is your dance school?" yoongi asked curiously when jimin eventually came back to the table with two mugs cradled in his hands. on sixth street in a big building, i think, this is my first time attending this dance school so im not quite sure." jimin said, scrunching his eyebrows together in thought. he probably sounded really stupid right now, but he truthfully couldnt remember.

"i work in a studio in that building! we can ride the train together." yoongi said sweetly, smiling as big as he could. he was glad to have the company, it kind of creeped him out when he had to ride the train alone so early in the morning, though he should be used to it by now. "okay, sure! that would be nice, actually." jimin said nodding his head again and smiling equally as wide.

"would you like to leave now? it takes a little while to get to the train station and go all the way there." yoongi suggested, knowing that they would have to buy tickets and get all their things and find their station,in all one scrunch of time. "sure thing! just give me a second to change." jimin said as he got up and ran to another room, his hair flopping on top of his head as he did so.

yoongi looked down at his own clothes and shrugged. he got home so late last night that he just fell asleep in the clothes he wore yesterday. it will have to do for now, he didnt want to make them late, especially on what he learned was jimins first day of dance school. when jimin finished, they walked together to the train station, chatting comfortably about many things, their topics ranging from time to time along the way.

they then bought their tickets (well yoongi insisted on buying jimins ticket, much to jimins protest) and went to get seated on their train. it was early, so almost all of the seats were up for the taking. jimin and yoongi sat right next to each other anyway, though. only five minutes into the train ride, jimin began to fall asleep and rested his heavy head on yoongis shoulder. if it was anyone else, yoongi would have shoved them off and told them to get lost, but since it was jimin, he didn't mind. yoongi blushed slightly at the sight on the pretty boy laying on him. not even worrying about the small possibility of jimin having a nightmare on the train.

a sweet middle aged lady who sat across from them, smiled at him and whispered, "you two are very cute!" her hands clasped in her lap as her eyes looked back and forth between the two boys. yoongi thanked her and smiled back, because well, he thought they were cute too.

once they made it to the building, they unfortunately had to part ways. but not before agreeing to meet in front of the building at the end of the day. yoongi then proceeded to tell jimin not to go outside in the evening when it gets dark without him, its unsafe in the city at night. jimin smiled at the way yoongi was worrying about him already. it made him feel special and he had a warm feeling in his chest the entire rest of the day.
