༄✯ 𝐱𝐢𝐢𝐢.: ❝ neighbors ❞ ══

༄✯ 时间回来了 -

Ahnji curses when she could feel herself falling asleep from the exhaustion.

She was thankful that she left Jun with Jisung, Yeonnie, and Sung with her parents.

Her schedule has been hectic since she's been getting lots of offers and commercials.

January is going well for her.

She enters the elevator and presses the floor where her apartment is.

The door was about to close until she hears loud and cheerful voices. The doors opened once again.

There 5 boys stood, all shocked to see her. It stayed like that for a minute until Ahnji cleared her throat.

"Are you getting in or not?" She asked tiredly. They all get in the elevator in pure awkward silence.

Soobin presses their floor button which was a floor above hers.

She clicks her tongue; no wonder why it gets so noisy sometimes...

"Sunbae-,"

"Noona is fine, just be casual with me."

"Uhm, noona- I didn't know you live here," Beomgyu smiled and Ahnji chuckled.

"I didn't know you live here too. No wonder why the apartment above mine gets so noisy sometimes."

"You're all like wild dogs having a rodeo party upstairs," she says and they froze in embarrassment.

"I- I apologize for that," Soobin says but Ahnji laughs.

"It's okay, it must be fun to live with someone twice," Ahnji added and the boys frown at her words.

Instantly, the door opened, indicating they're already on Ahnji's apartment's floor.

She turns around and waves at the boys.

"Have a good night,"

Ahnji hears her doorbell ring and she gets out of the kitchen to open the door.

"Oh- Yeonjun?" She tilts her head when she saw Yeonjun stood in front of her door.

Tupperware in his palms as he seemed nervous to look at her.

"Can I come in? I have food?" Ahnji smiled at what he said which sounded like a question.

She lets Yeonjun in her apartment.

Yeonjun was hearing baby blue pajamas along with a top that has striped sleeves but topped with a shirt.

"We bought food and decided to let you have some since you looked very tired," Yeonjun sits on the chair.

He begins to remove the lids and Ahnji wows at the aroma of the still-hot food.

"Thank you lots," Ahnji takes her chopsticks from the kitchen.

She takes a piece of the fried dumpling and takes a bite, she hums in delight.

"It's so good," Ahnji mumbled as she continued eating.

Yeonjun smiled as he watched her eat.

"I apologize for our noises... We just really can't control it sometimes," Yeonjun sighed, she laughed.

"It's alright, I didn't mind stopping you guys either." She takes a bite of the fried tteokbeokki.

"Still, we must've bothered you," Ahnji smiled and patted his head.

"I don't like repeating myself but since you kept apologizing, I forgive TXT." Yeonjun smiled widely at her words.

Ahnji laughed when Yeonjun reminded her of a puppy.

His eyes were sparkling under the light. He looked stunning without make-up.

Her MOA heart that has a major crush on Yeonjun couldn't handle it, so she avoided long eye contact with him.

Yeonjun, on the other hand, wasn't moving at all. His eyes completely focused on her as she eats the food.

"Truth to be told, I cooked that," Ahnji chokes on the food as soon as Yeonjun said that.

Chopsticks between her lips, she gave Yeonjun a shocked look.

"What? What? What? You looked too surprised," Yeonjun laughed.

"Listen, I know you're the only member who cooks but I didn't know it would be restaurant quality."

Yeonjun laughed shyly at her compliment.

"I wanted to see your reactions first. I would dig my own grave if you didn't like it," Yeonjun admitted and Ahnji laughed.

Then it became quiet.

The sound of her metal chopsticks hitting her white porcelain plate and the glass Tupperware, it felt weird for her.

Her pets weren't there to make any noises. If Yeonjun didn't come, she would probably feel very lonely.

However, the silence was comforting to them. They were both exhausted which made it easier to find comfort in silence.

"It's really good to know you live here because you looked really tired," Yeonjun softly said.

Ahnji chuckled and took a bite of the fishcake.

"You guys can visit me whenever now. I'll be getting my little ones in 2 days," Ahnji stated and Yeonjun nodded.

Yeonjun stared at her as she ate the food he made.

The soft smile on her lips when she takes a bite of the food brought joy to Yeonjun.

"Wah- it's too good," she lets out a laugh and Yeonjun chuckled.

"Can I take a look around your apartment?" Yeonjun asked and she nodded.

Yeonjun thanked her and walked around the apartment. He opens the first door, it looked like an office to him.

A recording area, a microphone, a couch on the side, a tall shelf full of books.

His eyes widen when he sees a Japanese literature book. He looks at the side and sees Mandarin.

He pulls out one and sees a couple of tags in between pages.

He opens one to a tagged page and a number was written on the tag. He looked for the number in the book and sees a line.

❝ You seem to be under the impression that there is a special breed of bad humans. There is no such thing as a stereotype bad man in this world. Under normal conditions, everybody is more or less good, or, at least, ordinary. But tempt them, and they may suddenly change. That is what is so frightening about men. ❞

He flips to another page,

❝ You see, loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egoistical selves. ❞

And to another page...

❝ I am a lonely man," he said again that evening. "And is it not possible that you are also a lonely person? But I am an older man, and I can live with my loneliness, quietly. You are young, and it must be difficult to accept your loneliness. You must sometimes want to fight it."
"But I am not at all lonely."
"Youth is the loneliest time of all. Otherwise, why should you come so often to my house?"
Sensei continued: "But surely, when you are with me, you cannot rid yourself of your loneliness. I have not it in me to help you forget it. You will have to look elsewhere for the consolation you seek. And soon, you will find that you no longer want to visit me."
As he said this, Sensei smiled sadly. ❞

He checks the title of the book.

Kokoro by Sōseki Natsume.

Yeonjun closes the book, wondering if this is how she felt during her hiatus.

Yeonjun exits the room and enters the next room. This room was the biggest, it served as a pet's room.

Toys and pets were laid out. A tower for her pet cat, things for dogs to play with.

He smiles and enters the next room which was her bedroom. It's the room she rarely shows on her youtube channel.

The first thing he saw shocked him.

All TXT albums displayed on her shelf, lightstick in its base, posters hung up on the wall.

He noticed the 2021 calendar of TXT as well, meaning she bought the season's greetings.

Yeonjun smiled in awe, now knowing that it is true. Ahnji is an MOA and that she adores them.

He also noticed more albums on other shelves but they were displayed. They organized and kept like books.

A few were displayed like NCT DREAM's We Go Up, Boom, and Ridin album. He figured it was because of her brother.

"Oh, staring at that?" He flinched when he heard Ahnji.

"I know you're a MOA but I didn't expect this," he laughs as Ahnji stood beside him.

"Ah, yeah- I had plenty of time last year, so I bought them all." She says and moves to sit on her bed.

Yeonjun sees a polaroid on the bottom shelf and he picks it up.

"Does this work?" He turns it on and cooed. He points at Ahnji before quickly taking a picture.

"Yah!" He laughed while the polaroid comes out.

He begins to shake it and sees Ahnji appear. He wowed and returned the camera to the shelf.

He removed his phone's clear case and puts the polaroid in between the phone and case.

However, only the back of the polaroid could be seen. He didn't want to be caught after all.

"So are you gonna go back or stay here?"

"I'll stay here," he jumps on her bed and pulls her to him.

"I- Yeonjun!" She tries to escape his grip but Yeonjun only pulls her closer.

Ahnji stopped moving and stared directly at Yeonjun's eyes.

Suddenly, she felt time stop. Her heart begins to quickly race, she cursed it could be heard.

The same goes for Yeonjun. His heart was racing quickly and he tries not to look at her lips.

Yeonjun smiled and moved the hair away from Ahnji's face.

"Am I being y/n right now?" Ahnji says and they both laugh. Yeonjun placed his chin on top of her head.

"You're a fan, I'm your bias- I guess, it is?"

"Who said you're my bias?"

"I- am I your bias?"

"Yes?"

"Is that a question or no?"

"I don't know," they both laugh at her reply.

His arms wrapped around her waist as they were both close to falling asleep.

Ahnji smiled when she could hear Yeonjun's heartbeat. She looks up at Yeonjun, their eyes met once more.

"You're so beautiful," Yeonjun says. Ahnji caresses his hair as Yeonjun relaxes with her delicate touch.

Eventually, both fell asleep in each other's brace.
