Neighbours

I open the door to my home.

Alas... I can gather my thoughts.

As soon as I walk in through the door, I'm greets my my mother.

"Hey, sweetly! How was College?"

I smile at her and nod.

"It was great!"

"Did you make friends?"

"Yeah... a couple... it's only the first day mum..."

"I know-"

I make my way upstairs, uninterested in the conversation with my mother. As soon as I arrive to my room, I throw my bag somewhere in the room and plop down onto my bed.

I let out a heavy sigh and face upwards, looking at the ceiling.

*zz*

*zz*

Unexpectedly, I receive a text message.

I immediately fetch for my phone,

over-swept by curiosity.

??:

Hey!

??:

Where did you go?

My heart rate increases in nervousness. I've no idea who it is.

Me:

Hi, um who's this?

I bite on my nails, nervously, awaiting for a reply.

As soon as my phone beeps my heart jumps out of my chest.

??:

Oh, my bad 😅

??:

It's Jungkook

Jungkook??!!

My head races with thought la about the conversation I had with Jackson earlier today.

Me:

How did you get my number?

Jungkook:

Oh, Jimin gave it to me.

Jungkook:

So, what are you doing?

I take a deep breath in order to calm me down. What should I say?

Me:

I'm out with

friends right now

Jungkook:

Liar~

How does he know?

Jungkook:

Look out the window

Huh?

I instantly snap my head towards my window and walk towards it.

From the other side, I can see Jungkook through the window, in his room, staring straight at me with his phone in his hands.

He smirks and brings his phone to his ear.

My phone rings and I look at it. He's calling me. I look at him once more.

He looks at me while biting his lip. My heart feels like it's going to jump out of my chest.

I look at my phone again. With my fingers shaking, I hesitantly answer it.

"H-Hello?" I speak, awkwardly making eye contact with him.

"Who would have thought we were neighbours?" He chuckles

I gulp and awkwardly look away.

"Look at me"

I once again make eye contact with him.

"I'm coming."

"What?!" I ask in surprise

He doesn't answer, simply ends the call and opens his window, carefully getting out.

What do I do? He's coming here? In my room?!!

I instantly lock my door so that my parents can't come in and misunderstand the situation.

Jungkook knocks on the window, smiling devilishly.

I open the window to let him in. He jumps in and closes the window.

As soon as he's in, he hugs me.

I don't know what to do... I awkwardly stand there, shook and confused, recalling Jackson's words once again.

"Please don't leave me hanging" he nervously chuckles

I slowly hug him back, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I was so worried about you... you disappeared..." he says with a shaky voice

I can't let him know that I met Jackson. He'll feel betrayed.

"I-I just didn't want to bother you and your drawing. You were so focused."

He breaks the hug and looks into my eyes fondly.

"Never do that again. Even if I'm too focused..." he says

I recall Jackson's words once again, but this time... I don't think I believe in them.

He looks so caring. So innocent. I don't believe he would do something like that.

{They're dangerous. Especially Jungkook!}

I ignore his words flowing in my mind and hug Jungkook, burying my face in his chest.

"I promise..."

Jungkook hugs me back.

"Sweetie! Come eat dinner!" My mother knocks on the door

Startled, me and Jungkook let each other loose. awkwardly moving away.

"Sure mum! I'll be down in 10" I shout back

Jungkook let's out a soft chuckle.

"Want to walk to college tomorrow together?"

"Sure" I nod
