Y/N was mid-slurp into his cup noodles when his apartment door slammed open.
A blur of oversized hoodie and chaos stumbled inside — Jaehyun, out of breath, eyes sparkling with way too much energy for 4 p.m.
Y/N froze, chopsticks halfway to his mouth. “...Jaehyun. What are you on about?”
“I found him! Hoodie guy! The dude you screamed at! I actually found him!” Jaehyun announced, dramatically dropping onto Y/N’s couch like he’d just solved a never-before-seen crime. “I’m so amazing. The best detective. Someone call Sherlock and tell him I'm replacing him”
“You didn’t even reply to my tweet..” Y/N muttered, unimpressed going back to eating his noodles.
“Didn’t need to,” Jaehyun grinned, waving his phone in Y/N’s face. “I found him.”
Y/N blinked before slurping his noodles, wiping his face and finally lookingbat Jaehyun. “Found who.”
“Your victim!” Jaehyun said, practically vibrating. “The dude from Cortis—you know, the CD shop we always go to? It’s James! Bro, he’s been looking for you online!”
Y/N choked on his noodles. “James? That James? The one with the permanent rbf? The one who genuinely scares me to death sometimes? The one who-”
“Yeah!” Jaehyun cut in between quickly. “He tweeted about you.”
Before Y/N could grab his phone, Jaehyun shoved the screen in his face — but only for a split second, scrolling fast as if he was hiding something.
Y/N caught a glimpse of the post:
'still can’t find my fine shyt 🥀 ..'
Then Jaehyun was already putting his phone away, humming innocently.
“Nope!” Jaehyun chirped. “Anyway! You gotta go there and talk to him. Maybe buy him a new coffee or whatever. You can’t just spill the man's drink and vanish.”
“Or better idea. I could just transfer unis. Start over. New name. New me.” Y/n smiles while batting his eyelashes quickly
Jaehyun ignored that entirely. “This is honestly hilarious, only you can put yourself in such situations bro!”
“I hate this. I hate you.”
“Love you too,” Jaehyun said, already on his way out the door. “Text me when you go kneel and apologise. Listen i need to be able to go back to that shop without feeling guilty okay?!”
The door shut behind him with a loud slam.
Y/N sat there in silence, staring at his half-finished now cold noodles
“…How does he always get into my apartment?” he muttered. “I literally just changed my locks last week..”
He slumped back, groaning into his sleeve.
Now that he thought about it… James did look familiar. The CD shop guy who always gave him extra recommendations, who Jaehyun always said was pretty chill even if he looked pretty tough.
“Oh my god,” Y/N whispered, realization dawning. “It is him.”
He glanced at his phone, imagining James’ unimpressed face, and groaned again.
Maybe he should just transfer unis.
𝄞𝄢SUMMARY: y/n thought he saw his best friend and decides to scare him.. spoiler alert its not his best friend but a hot stranger that's unfortunately staring daggers into his soul called James.
