P2
Party
MY RIGHT FEET SLOWLY made its way into the apartment as I could feel the environment I had before and now was different. I found myself was standing in the living room that was filled with white and grey furniture.
Maybe they're his favourite colours.
Jimin stood beside me and waited for me to finish scanning. "Do you like being here? Almost all things here are white and grey. Simple and classic. " He explained.
I turned to my right where the balcony was and spotted that he had a lot of plants. That was great and attractive.
"Sure, your house is so nice and pretty. I like it. " I smiled widely then looked at him.
"So you want to stay here? " He asked right away. Without thinking any further, I nodded my head with no doubts since I know I'd be fine living in the apartment.
"Of course. "
Knowing the fact that he'd finally get a housemate and won't be alone anymore, a sweet smile crept on his face as his eyes were slowly disappearing. He probably didn't know how cute he did look at my point of view. It encouraged me to smile too.
"That's good. Let me show you your new room. Hope you'll like it. " He leaded me somewhere as Jungkook and Taehyung were following me from behind.
As we took a few steps, we finally reached my new room. "Here's your room. It's soft peach colored. I think it matches you well," he stated.
Just by a glance, I found myself falling in love with the room decoration. It was absolutely like my dream room. A balcony, city sight view and a soft coloured room. Perfect.
"I can't ask for more. This room fits my taste very well. It has everything I want. " I smiled.
Feeling relieved, he clasped his hands together then handed me the key. "Okay then, here's your key. You want to move in today, right? " He asked.
"Yeah, " I nodded. "Jungkook, can you bring my luggage here? " I asked for his help.
He didn't take so long before responding. "Alright, sure. "
Finally, a new start for me.
It was time for Jungkook and Taehyung to leave. While Taehyung and Jimin were having some talk, I went to Jungkook who had an uneasy look since the moment arrived and tickled his tummy.
He startled, "Don't do that. "
"Chill, I just want to messing around, " I chuckled softly then linked my arm with his. Looking up at his frowning face, I know he was worried about me living with an unknown guy. Especially when he doesn't know Jimin.
I gave him a small smile. "Are you still worried about me? " I asked softly with our arms still linking.
"Of course. Tell me why should I stop worrying about you? " He looked down at me then turned away.
Finding that it was funny, a memory of us in high school suddenly flashed back on my mind, making me to giggle softly. By his face reaction, I knew he was confused by my sudden laughter. "You've always been a protective friend to me, right? " I played with his fingers. "Don't worry, I'm a grown up woman now. Nothing bad will happen. I promise. " I said something to ease his worries towards me.
With a heavy heart to leave me, he had no other choice but to let me go since he didn't want me to think that he was suffocating. "Okay then. But please make sure you'll be fine. You can call me anytime and I'll be there for you, okay? " He asked softly.
"Sure, kook. Thank you. " I grinned as he patted my head. "Be safe and please behave. Don't let the Jimin guy knows your true identity or else, he might kick you out." He started to be annoying.
With my eyes being rolled, I crossed my arms then said, "Stop with your annoying words. I'm so done. "
He laughed. "Bye, I'm leaving. "
Jungkook and Taehyung had left, leaving me and Jimin alone in the apartment. Since we just got to know each other today, it was a bit awkward for me to start a conversation with him.
I find that it was suddenly difficult for me to even say hi. I mean— should I start the convo with a simple hi? Or maybe I can offer him some biscuits? Maybe no. It was a weird way to be friends.
"Jieun? Are you okay? " Jimin was already behind me as he just got out from the kitchen after grabbing a glass of juice. Gulping down my saliva, I swear that I had never been as awkward as I am now.
But since he had ask me a question, then what I needed to do was just to give a respond. "I'm fine, thank you for your concern. " I smiled.
"If you're hungry, you can heat the pizza in the fridge. I bought it this morning. " He told me and sit on the dining table.
"I can have your pizza? " I looked at him.
"Yes, sure. Why not? We're housemate now. You can have anything that I put in the kitchen. Feel free. " He asserted, making me to feel more comfortable to talk with him.
Thinking that I had to be more friendly, I decided to join him on the dining table. "Can I sit here? " I asked for his permission.
"Sure. " He nodded then put his empty glass on the table. Seeing the way he casually licking his lips, I gulped. It's so unfair. How can a person is effortlessly handsome? I'm quite lucky to live in the same house as him.
Realizing the fact that I was staring at his lips, I turned away directly before he will notice me. "Hey, um, " I looked at him.
"I— didn't ask about the rent yet. How much is it? "
He blinked, seemed like he had no idea on what I was saying. "Rent? " He was clueless.
I nodded. "Yeah, rent. Money. How much is it? I don't even pay for the deposit yet. Sorry."
Finally getting what I was saying, he nodded his head slowly. "Oh, rent. "
"You don't have to pay for the deposit. Just stay here. And for the rent, just give me how much you want. I don't mind. " He said calmly.
His words had me choked on my saliva and I had to rub my chest. "Are you okay? " He stood up, ready to give me a help if anything occurs. I raised my hand up, signalling that I was fine. Once I was okay, I inhaled for some air then looked back at him.
"You don't mind? What does it suppose to mean? " I asked in confusion. To be honest, I've never dealt with a house owner like him.
He shrugged. "As long as you're not burdening me, then I'm fine. I mean, I don't need your money. I let you live here because I want someone to talk to me when I'm bored. It's not because of the money. " He gave me a simple answer.
"O-oh, okay. " I nodded, with a slight of awkwardness. Before I could ask him another question, he suddenly got a phone call. With a big smile on his face, he stood up and went to somewhere in the house before answering the call so that I won't hear his conversation.
Maybe it was his girlfriend.
Well, a good looking man like him would usually already have a partner. Sighing, I stood up from the table and was about to walk into my room until he suddenly stopped me. "Hey, Jieun. "
"Yes? " I discontinued my steps.
Shoving his phone into his pocket, he cleared his throat and asked, "Wanna go out with me? My friend invited me to his party. I think it would be cool if we can go together. But if you aren't feeling like going out, then I understand. "
To be honest, being asked to go out with wasn't what I expected. I really thought he was going to go out with someone else. But having a good feeling about the idea, I shrugged my shoulders then nodded my head right away. "Sure, why not. "
The main reason of me agreeing to go out with him was because I wanted to lessen the awkwardness between the both of us. Well, today was my first day moving in to his house. Since we're now housemate, I think it would be good for us to have a good relationship.
After getting ready, I went into the living room and approached him who was playing with his phone while waiting for me. "Did I take too long? " I asked.
Looking up at me, he shook his head. "Nope." He answered simply. Realizing that I was wearing a blue casual clothes with a black shorts, he gave me a smile. "You look nice. Are you ready to go? "
"I think so, " I smiled.
"Alright then, let's go. " He winked then opened the door for me.
We got out from the car as I found that we were standing in front of a tall building. Feeling quite amazed by the stunning surrounding, my eyes grew wide in admiration as I could feel my pupils were going wild. "What a beautiful building. " I mumbled.
Jimin accidentally heard what I said. "My friend lives here. " He told me. "Pretty, right?" He added.
I nodded. "Yeah. Really. "
He then closed the car door and went to me. "Let's get in. He's waiting for us, " he said and gestured me to follow him.
Nodding my head with a slight of excitement in my heart, I followed him from his back while looking around the area. "What floor do your friend lives? " I asked a random question to have at least a short conversation with him.
Even he seems like a quiet person, he's actually a very easy going person. It was easy to talk to him. "His apartment is on the 13th floor. " He answered.
"Anyway, he has a dog. Are you okay with that? Some girls are afraid of dogs. " He asked, somehow sounded like he was concerned. Probably because he didn't want any troubles to occur.
I raised an eyebrow, "A dog? " I asked. "I love dogs. Why would I be scared of cute creatures like them? " I rolled my eyes quietly.
"That's good to be heard. Seems like I can pet a dog after this. " He chuckled.
"Wow, that's great. " We stepped into the apartment building then walked towards the elevator.

We reached the 13th floor then made our ways out from the elevator. Looking to the sides, I looked back at Jimin and asked him, "Which side should we go? Left or right? "
"You choose. " He answered, making me to raise an eyebrow as the thing he just said had me confused. I mean, how can I know? I've never been here. This was my first time.
I titled my head to my right, "What do you mean? " I asked, my tone showed him that I was lost in confusion. "How can I know your friends apartment when this is literally my first time being here? "
Suddenly felt like a dumb, he rubbed the back of his neck then heaved a small sigh. He bit his lower lip, "Actually I don't remember his apartment number. "
It was hard to believe that a serious guy like him could be this slow. But to not make it obvious, I smiled and said something nice. "It's alright. Small matter. "
"Oh, but no worries. I can call him. " He took out his phone then dialed his friends number.
"Hello? " His friend answered his call. After a minute of talking, Jimin smiled in relief then went to me.
He looked at me, "1311. Let's go. " He smiled.
Finally.
