Work Text:
Min Yoongi was not one to wake up early.
His alarm clock -a cute little Kumamon-shaped device- no longer functioned properly due to the continuous abuse it would suffer in the mornings, (being thrown against the wall/floor, or being stuffed a little too abruptly into the closest drawer after ringing for the fifth time) and thus could not fulfill the mission of waking him up.
That, however, did not change the fact that Yoongi had schedules to attend to and so the baton had been passed to Park Jimin, his roommate.
On the first day, Jimin wakes Yoongi up at 8am, the exact time the latter had asked to be woken up at. 15 minutes later, Yoongi is rushing out of the apartment and Jimin wonders just how the elder had managed to run through his morning routine that fast as he recalls his own difficulties on getting to places in time.
On the second day, it happens again but Jimin realizes something’s missing in his hyung’s routine.
On the third day, Jimin wakes Yoongi up at 7am. It’s not like he has a death wish; it’s just that his hyung has so little time to prepare in the morning that he’s been skipping breakfast and Jimin is pretty convinced that’s the reason he always comes home so moody, so maybe if he can fix that he won’t have to put up with his hyung’s temper anymore.
Also, skipping breakfast is quite unhealthy and Jimin might actually care a little (lot) about Yoongi’s well being.
He quivers a little when Yoongi eyes him suspiciously upon looking at the window and realizing it was way too dark to be 8am. He doesn’t lie though, Jimin takes pride in always telling the truth.
It’s when he’s being pushed out of his hyung’s room and the door shuts behind him with a little too much strength (a few curse words still audible from behind the door), that he decides maybe he should start lying a little bit more.
He doesn’t learn his lesson though, and on the fourth day he’s back in his hyung’s room at 6:50am (10 minutes earlier than he had originally planned, because he figures Yoongi deserves the punishment for having shut the door on him the day before), determined to get his way this time.
Before the elder could even start questioning him on what time it was and consequently, why he was being woken up so early, Jimin gives him a speech on how he’s burdening other people and himself by waking up so late. He also makes sure to throw in a few lies to practice his new habit.
He doesn’t exactly get his point across -Yoongi’s barely-awake mind only taking in half of the speech- but for reasons to him unknown, it’s enough to get the elder out of his bed so he waits for his hyung to leave the room and proceeds to proudly pat himself on the back.
Yoongi only hears what he wants to hear. That morning he hears Park Jimin saying he cares about him.
On the fifth day Jimin wakes him up at 7am again. This time however, there’s no motivational speech nor any cute revelations to get Yoongi’s brain running so he tells Jimin -a little more softly than he usually would- to knock it off and just let him sleep.
Jimin is stubborn. Yoongi had been noticeably happier the day before –Little naive Park Jimin was convinced it was because he had finally taken the time to eat a proper breakfast- and at some point his heart had decided that a happy Yoongi equals a happy Jimin (he might or might not have attempted to write it down as a mathematical equality (•‿•)YG = (•‿•)JM on his textbook when he really should’ve been paying attention to class), so he decides the next day he would make an extra effort.
Sixth time’s the charm.
It’s when Jimin walks into his room on the sixth day -earlier than he should’ve, despite all the warnings he had received from the elder- holding a breakfast tray that has way too much food for Yoongi to eat by himself, that Yoongi decides he no longer wants to hit his alarm clock; he’d much rather hit on it.
