Chapter 1

Knock knock knock

"Jeongguk, get the door!"

"Why does it always have to be me?!" Jeongguk shouted back, sitting on the couch, perfectly content with his current position.

"Because you're closer!" Taehyung shouted back, irritation evident.

"UGH!" Jeongguk groaned loudly enough for the older to hear. They've been roommates for the two years they've been in university and best friends for 10.

Jeongguk slowly rolled off the couch, complaining in the process. Why couldn't Tae just get the door? I was comfy!

Picking himself up off the ground, the lazy male sluggishly

made his way to the door.

Jeongguk looked through the tiny peep hole and was met with...

Nothing. There was literally nothing there. All he could see was the light blue wall across from their apartment.

Jeongguk hesitantly opened the door just in case someone was there to rob him. Or worse... Give him a Bible. Now don't get him wrong, Jeongguk loves Jesus, he just happens to love RuPaul more.

After slowly opening the door, he peeked his head into the hallway and looked to the right. No one. He looked to the left. No one. He shrugged his shoulders, realizing it was probably the kids from downstairs playing tricks on them again, and was about to shut the door when he heard a sniff.

Jeongguk sniffed himself, wondering if he had done so subconsciously. But it sounded different. The first one was more delicate. Not a sound that nineteen year old Jeongguk could've made.

He heard the sniff again. This time he heard it coming from his feet. He looked down. And he gasped.

JEONGGUK'S POV

*GASP*

Umm. What's this?! This-this isn't okay!

"TAEHYUUUUUUUUNGGGGGGG!!!!" I screamed inside, hoping Tae would actually come this time.

Thankfully, my murderful screams were answered with Taehyung running out of his room, looking more disheveled than ever. Brown hair in a tousled mess, and his shirt wrinkly from not yet changing out of his pajamas. Cute. I mean, no.

"What's wrong?! Are you okay?! What happened?! Why are you screaming?!" Taehyung was in full worry mode. It was cute.

I mean- no. I didn't mean that. It was-manly! Yeah. Bro. Homey. No homo. Ahaha. Yeah...

When I snapped back to reality and realized Tae was still staring at me worriedly, slightly out of breath from the adrenaline and running, all I could do was point out into the hallway.

Tae raised an eye brow and curiously walked over to the door,

suspicious yet sceptical as to what he may find.

He looked out in the hallway. Nothing. To the right, to the left, again, nothing. He looked down.

"OH MAN HOLY SH-"

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"OH MANY HOLY SH-!"

"LANGUAGE!" Jeongguk shouted.

I turned around in a state of disbelief, "What's this?" I asked, pointing at the tiny little human that was left at our door!

"I don't know!" Jeongguk responded just as freaked out. "What are we supposed to do with it! I can't even keep a goldfish alive nonetheless a person!"

He had a point there, I thought. Last time we decided it would be a good idea to have a pet goldfish it died within the first day. Kook over fed it and the next morning it kind of... exploded...

"Just... bring it in! It's cold out there and we can't just leave it!" I replied.

Jeongguk looked at me, looked at the baby, and looked at me again as if I was crazy. I gestured to the petite child and widened my eyes, urging him to bring the gosh dang baby in.

He gave me an incredulous look and carried the child in. It was wrapped in a blue blanket and was inside of a picnic basket. Why the person couldn't have put it in an actual baby carrier instead of a lunch box, I'm not quite sure.

I ushered the both of them over to the soft comfortable couch. Kook placed the basket on the coffee table in front of us.

~five minutes later~

What are we supposed to do now?

"Hey kookie?" I whispered after five minutes of staring in silence.

"Yeah?" He whispered back.

"What are we gonna do?" I asked, tearing my eyes away from the baby to look at him.

"I mean, you can touch it? Maybe there's a note or something?" he suggested hopefully.

I nodded and reached out towards the sleeping child. I carefully wrapped my arms around it's cold body and brought it up to my chest, carefully securing the head and back. I'm not gonna lie, it was so precious. Its little lips parted slightly, face full of tranquility.

"There! There's a note!" Jeongguk pointed excitedly.

"Well don't just point! Open it!"

"Okay okay jeesh!" He picked up the purple envelope and tore open the seal.

"Read it out loud," I said as I carefully held the still snoozing baby.

"Dear Jeongguk," he started. "Wait. Why me? What do I have to

do with this?" He asked incredulously, putting the letter down and looking at me. "Shhh! The baby's still sleeping! And keep reading!" I hushed.

He cleared his throat and picked up the letter once more. "I can no longer take care of this child. I know you didn't know anything about her, and I intended to keep it that way, but my environment is no longer safe for her," "wait, it's a her?!"

I nudged for him to go on.

"About a year ago when we were all at Taemin's party, we both got wasted, and well, this little girl happened. She's one month old. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her and I'm sorry for just leaving her like this. I hope you'll understand. And please don't come looking for me. -Mina"

"Holy crap," Jeongguk whispered.

"Holy crap," I whispered back.

EDIT: I used Mina as a random name, not intending the actual Mina. Nothing against her.

GOSHHH SHE IS SOO CUTE 😌❤️
