"do you want to die?"
monji halted in her movements as a shiver went up her spine at the sound of the cool voice speaking from the other side.
"that might be a little inconvenient for me at the moment, but i am open to rescheduling though." she managed to blurt out without her voice giving away her initial shock from hearing the voice speak for the first time.
the girl could hear the person on the other end of the call choke loudly as they spluttered incoherent words of shock.
monji relaxed a bit at having heard the male be caught off guard, which made him less intimidating to her. she even let out a small giggle.
"who are you?" the male voice spoke again after he had calmed down.
"moon monji, i'm a second year in the arts department." she could hear him quietly hum through the phone which made a light shade of pink bless the tips of her ears.
"ok moon monji, and why do you have my boyfriend's phone with you?" he asked calmly, with a hint of possessiveness when he said the word boyfriend.
"oh, boyfriend?" monji blinked rapidly once she realised what he had said.
'i guess that means he's another one of my soulmates as well.'
"hello?" the male spoke again a tad bit impatient.
"oh right!" she coughed awkwardly, "taehyung is at my place. he managed to slip and scrap is palms earlier on, but i patched him up. he's taking a shower right now." she quickly explained while her right hand fiddle with the string of her tea bag.
"seriously, he tripped? on what? i swear that kid," she could practically hear him rolling his eyes on the otherside, "well thank you for taking care of him, and sorry that you have to deal with him."
"oh no! it's no problem at all!" she quickly reassured.
"i hope you don't mind, but can you tell my your address number? i'll come pick him up and take him off of your hands." monji could hear the clear rustling of fabric and keys jiggling.
"yea that's ok, i'm sure he needs to be home right about now." she chuckled lightly as she remembered him complaining about not wanting to go home because he was going to be murdered by his other boyfriends.
"do you want me to text it to you or is your memory superior enough to remember it just from me telling it to you once?" a smiled graced her features as she heard an amused chuckle emit from the other side.
"it's good to know you can sense my genius just from this call." monji rolled her eyes at his words.
"use your phone and text my number. you wouldn't be able to unlock taehyung's phone anyways. i don't even remember what he changed his password to this week." he sighed in exasperation.
"yes sir." she lifted up her hand in a mock salut, but quickly put it down when she realised he wouldn't be able to see her.
"why do i feel like you just saluted just then?" monji blushed bright red in embarrassment.
"i'm hanging up now." she quickly moved the device away from her ear, not without hearing a loud snicker from the other side side, and pressing the red button.
the young artist sighed once again in embarrassment before quickly taking a large sip of her tea and picking up her phone
taehyung's own phone screen lit up with a text message from 'the rock🗿', which made monji chuckle.
the text message sent contained a short string of numbers which she quickly read and inputed into her own contact list.
'mysterious man' she named his contact after some pondering.

monji could not help the bright red blush that adorned her features as she read the text over and over again.
's-sweetheart?!' her pupils vibrated violently in shock as her eyes refused to leave her phone screen.
'he called me sweetheart?! sweetheart, me?!i'm being called a sweet-'
"why is your face so red?"
the young artist dropped her phone in shock and jumped away from the counter, only for her back to collide with the sink that was directly behind her.
a sharp pain shot up her back as she quickly went to soothe the pain with a hand pressed to her lower back.
taehyung stared at her in confusion, halting his movements as he watched her struggle.
"it's nothing, don't mind me." she was quick to reassure.
"that's for you if you want it. it's one of my favourites, but i don't know if it'll be your cup of tea." the girl snickered at the last sentence as taehyung went to pick up the mug while he chuckled at her.
"ha ha, hilarious." he dully stated before taking a sip.
the male was immediately blessed by a nice warm minty breeze that traveled through his entire body. the sweetness of the tea was just the right amount to compliment the mint that did not make it overpowering.
he hummed in satisfaction while using two hands to encase the mug, "mhmm, now this i love."
monji flashed him a smile as she watched him snuggle into himself, "i'm glad."
"oh by the way, one of your boyfriends called while you were in the shower." the statement immediately broke the male out of whatever serene state he was in.
"who." he placed down the mug, his smile dropping from his face, and grabbed her shoulders, "who was it."
"yoongi?" she said hesitantly as his gaze bored into her own.
"noooo!"
monji was rooted in place as taehyung started throwing a tantrum once again.
"i'm dead! he's gonna murder me in cold blood, bring me back to life, and give me to jin hyung to kill once again!" he had now fully encased his arms around her while burying his face into her shoulder.
"damn, double homicide." she whispered, body still tense at the sudden contact between them.
"not helping!" he huffed out.
monji awkwardly lifted a hand to pat him on the back, "my bad."
the pair stood in the surprisingly comfortable silence of the kitchen.
monji was starting to enjoy the comforting sensation of having taehyung's long arms wrapped around her, it actually felt nice. she could not help but sigh in satisfaction as she took a tiny inhale of his natural scent. she could get used to this.
unfortunately, their moment was loudly interrupted by the rapid sound of knocks emitting from the front door.
"taehyung i know you're in there!"
"oh no."
chapter hooray!
monji is honestly one of the most complex characters i've created tbh. but i think that's purely because she's kinda inspired by me lol.
i hope to introduce more of her back story soon so y'all can understand why she acts the way she does and like why she is very id say cute and panicky on the inside or when she's alone as compared to when she's with other people and she acts more posh and intellectual i suppose.
(idk if y'all are even getting these personality differences 💀💀 i might be thinking too much into it, most likely yes)
but anyways mid years are starting next week for me, so i'll officially be gone for 2 weeks 🥲
wish me luck guys.
anyways hope you enjoyed the chapter!!
yours sincerely,
mororo-kun~~~
