After the awkward and irritating greeting with none other than my current nemesis in the company, my hectic week began.

Following the introductions and greetings, Jason or yeah, Jaehwan was officially assigned the position of manager. And I thought that maybe if, just maybe, he managed to do things in the wrong way, I could kind of complain about him to the team leader. But... Huh... As always, my luck never favoured me.

He was fuckin- perfect in his job. There was not a single thing to complain about. I mean even I, who was bestowed with the best rookie awards, made mistakes sometimes. But he, nah, none. He never did any silly things. And that was more frustrating than ever.

And I don't know why, the female colleagues of mine were kinda now obsessed with him, I mean he now even had a fan-base, not only within the department, but in the entire company. The reason being, he was one of the youngest managers in the company. Secondly, he frickin- treated everyone so well that I don't know like if he was the one who had called me off back in school. And thirdly, he was handsome. I mean not according to me, of course, but according to the female workers in the company.

So, recently, I had been coming to the company office in an irritated mood. And further, even though I tried my best to ignore him, I couldn't possibly do that since each and every day, I had to go to jis personal cabin for one reason or another. I mean, ugh.... I am so pissed.

As the days went by, he made repeated attempts to start a conversation with me, but I was able to let him be. I mean, what could we possibly talk about now, like after a freaking 10 years of no contact. I was no more an idiot desperate for attention. I no longer my former self who couldn't understand emotions well. Currently, I was a full-fledged adult of twenty-six years, who had developed perfectly, both mentally and physically.

Haa... It really is tiring with him being around...

So recently, I realized a thing. The only comfort zone that I left with was none other than my apartment, where I could do whatever I wanted without being disturbed by wierd people and also I can concentrate in my work without being distra----...Ahem...annoyed by a certain someone.

And so finally, after a long hectic week, it was finally time for the weekend. I had been assigned some job as usual but the deadline for those were all monday so that meant that I could carry out my proposals, presentations and whatnot within my comfort zone, that is, in my apartment.

Haa... Seriously, nothing could beat a nice cozy time in one's apartment...

Now I finally understood why some people lived on their own. Staying alone enabled me to do all of my things according to my pace so that was the best part. I could even sleep and eat my good according to my tastes.

Solo life along with being single, is the best , one could ever ask for...

As I went on enjoying my Friday night by cleaning my apartment and preparing some food for myself, I noticed that a lot noises could be heard outside my main entrance door. As I kept on enjoying my evening, I decided ignore the noises but as the sounds of people shouting grew, I could no longer tolerate anymore.

After coming to Korea, one thing to be noted about me was that, I was possibly the most short tempered person in the entire universe. I mean, I got angry at silly silly things but I was also easy to be appeased. But yeah, there has been no one till date, except my mom, dad and aunty, to be making an attempt to appease me.

Anyways, as I burst with anger from the continuous noises coming from outside, I left my dinner, half-eaten, and then stormed outside with an angry expression.

When I opened the door, my plan was to first scold the people who were making noises, and then to threaten them of being reported to the police. But when I opened the door, the view outside was totally different than what I had expected.

The corridor of the floor where I lived in was filled with boxes and several things, mostly durable like sofa, table, etc. And then came from downstairs a person screaming,

"Hey, you new lad. Put more force in carrying the chair. If by chance it falls, it would be a disaster on our side."

Oh.... So this is the person who has been screaming since earlier...

Realizing the person who was making noises, I went near and stood still. When the man saw me, he gestured me to move but yeah, as one could have guessed, I didn't move and stood still with an annoyed face. Irritated by my behaviour, when he was about to scold me, I spoke up even before him,

"So, mister, what exactly are you doing? I mean I get that yeah maybe you are moving someone's things in the neighborhood but why have you been shouting at the top of your lungs? I mean, don't you know that this is a residential apartment and that there are people who would prefer a silent and peaceful evening with themselves?"

The man had a twisted and angry face, I could make that out from his expression. And when he was finally about to speak against me, probably, I mentally prepared myself to fight till the end. But then a scream could be heard from another direction, "Stooopppp!!!!"

And then came running a young man. He was dressed casually and was wearing a mask. I couldn't exactly see his face and even his physique since he was carrying a huge cardboard box himself. I didn't exactly know how to react at his sudden entrance, but yeah, whatever.

After bowing to him while carrying his box he began to speak, I am so sorry for the inconvenience. Actually I am moving my things today as I'll be living here from now on. I know we were being really noisy, but now we would definitely not scream or shout. I'll even tell my uncle. I am so sorry."

When he first came up, I thought he was trying to pick a fight. But after hearing his sincere apology, I just nodded and told them to not be noisy again. And thereby, I just came back inside.

His uncle was a jerk... But the guy was good... I guess, he'll be a good neighbour...

And so thereafter, I just had my dinner and went to sleep.

The next morning, for my assignment, I needed to go for an on-site inspection. Do, I hurriedly washed up, had my breakfast, got dressed up and was ready to head out when I heard my calling bell.

Who could it be early in the morning?

As I was preparing my documents and laptop, I just used the automatic door monitor to hear who it was and so I asked,

"Um... Who is this?"

"Oh yeah, sorry for not introducing myself. I am your new neighbour and so I brought some rice cake for you."

Oh... It's the nice guy...

At first, I thought of refusing him, but since he was a good guy, probably, and also because I love to eat rice cake, I decided to open the door for him.

Along the way to opening my door, I took my bag and the car keys. I thought that I would leave the cake on the kitchen table and cover it so that I could come back and eat it. But as usual, fate never supported me.

As soon as I opened the door, I couldn't believe my eyes, the person standing, was not some random good guy, it was fuckin- none other than, Kim Jaehwan.

Shit...

After seeing him, the first words that came out of my mouth were simply, rude...

"What the hell are you doing here?"

He chuckled. Ugh... I seriously hate him...
And then he spoke up, "I guess I didn't tell you the other day, but yeah, I'll be living in this apartment from now on. And maybe you have guessed already, I am your new neighbour. So, hi Finn. Nice to meet you. This is Kim Jaehwan, your manager in S. Corp. and now, your new neighbour. Hope we can get along!!"

Shit.... Aaaaa.... Why the hell is my luck so bad....

"Come on uncle, stop shouting now. That person hates noises during his Leisure time." Explained Kim Jaehwan.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I don't understand what you see in that wierd lad? Not at all to my liking." Snorted his uncle.

"Haa... You don't have to worry about that. Just help me out now, okay? I'll treat you to a tasty meal." Jaehwan tried to coerce his uncle, who thereby just nodded.

What could this uncle of his know, that this person had gone through so many lengths to finally stay in the space as the person he had been searching for.

Will have to be careful from the next time... But yeah, he has changed quite a lot... But, he's still cute.
