Loving each day [ FICTOBER ]Day 16: We’re both trying to get an apartment in this city at the same time as a million other people and I’m tired of competing for the same ones as you so I think it’s time we joined forces AU
“Welcome everyone. I see that we got many people wanting to take a look at this apartment, I hope one of you likes it and will go for it.”
Oh, the man didn’t know half of it.
Minki has been trying to get an apartment for the past two months since his current really isn’t enough anymore. He looked online, contacted everyone that could have known someone for him and went to every supermarket, checking the notices for any apartment to hire.
God knows why suddenly everyone was trying to get an apartment but Minki was one of them. It’s just that when there are many people interested that the price will be decided with the help of bidding. Since Minki is a student rent is not one of the things he can afford. His eyes go over every face he sees and scans them, guessing how much they would be able to pay for an apartment.
The last face is one he recognises; one of a male his age, a face that he has been seeing a lot since his apartment hunting has started. The male, Jonghyun if he remembers correctly, smiles at him and Minki can give a small smile before flushing and looking down.
His flush dies down and he starts focusing on what the man is telling: about how good it is and the more he hears it the more he wants it. It doesn’t take long before they all go to a bigger room and the bidding starts.
Minki quickly joins but as do others; the price is soon above his budget when Jonghyun, who’s standing beside him for quite some time already, starts talking.
“How about bidding with both of our budgets? Then we got more chance to get it.”
And so they do. They get their apartment and Minki can’t be happier.

A song starts playing. One would think it’s beautiful but Minki, who has used it as his alarm for years now, groans at it. He tries to get out of Jonghyuns arms as soft as possible and closes the alarm. He turns around and sees his husband still sleeping soundly. God knows how he does it but the older can sleep through everything.
“Come on sweetie, wake up.”
A squeal is heard through the house and Minki chuckles.
“And maybe it’s time to buy a bigger apartment.”
