Jimin's pov

I woke up to the sun shine in my eyes. I moved my hand to block the sun as my eyes tried to adjust from sleep. Sitting up and stretching, I contemplated if I actually wanted to get up yet. Me and the guys have been so busy for a while and we've been given a break for some time starting today which means I could sleep until the afternoon. A smile found its way on my face as I thought about this. I plopped back down and closed my eyes and was about to go back to sleep until I had a feeling that I should get up. I furrowed my eyebrows as I tried to think of an actual reason why I would need to but then I remembered we were spending the day together.

Tae and Jungkook wanted to go to an amusement park or and arcade. Everyone agreed and Jin hyung suggested to get something to eat afterwards which everyone agreed to as well. You would think that with our break they would want to stay home but nope. I let out a small chuckle as I got back up and got dressed. Once I was done I looked at the clock and saw I had enough time to get my mail before I had to meet up with everyone. I grabbed my keys and locked my front door (because you can never be too safe) and hopped in the elevator. Only a few seconds passed before I was able to get off and enter the lobby.

It was a pretty peaceful morning. A few people came and went as I went to the mailboxes and opened mine. I sifted through them seeing junk mail, bills and a few random letters. I heard the front doors open and my eyes automatically lifted to see someone I've never seen before. A girl with h/c hair and pretty e/c eyes walked in and came in my direction. Feeling suddenly nervous I averted my gaze and looked back at the papers in my hand. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her open a mailbox. The box right next to mine.

Does she live here? I've never seen her before. But then again I've been gone for a while so it wouldn't be hard to miss. I did hear that someone new was supposed to move in so she must be that someone. She closed her box and headed to the elevator. I hesitated for a moment before I quickly closed mine and followed behind her. She only looked mildly surprised when she turned and saw me coming. She offered me a small smile as she held the door and I gave her one back as thanks. I pressed the 3rd floor button when I turned and I saw her reach for it too only to stop with a small 'oh' when she saw it was already pressed.

I took these few moments going up to look at her without her noticing. She was really pretty and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to say hi to her. But the only thing stopping me was these stupid butterflies in my stomach making me feel a bit jittery and clogging my throat. I mentally sighed as the doors opened and we both got off. To my slight surprise we headed in the same direction until I stopped at my door 303, and she went to the one right next to mine, 304. She was my neighbor. I stood there for a few tense moments fiddling with my keys trying to get my voice to work. When I finally got my mouth to open she had already entered her apartment and closed the door. Sighing I went inside, put my mail, grabbed my wallet and sunglasses and left to meet with my friends.

I sat lost in thought in my living room staring blankly at a wall while Taehyung and Jungkook played a video game together. "Jimin!" Tae suddenly yelled my name.

I jumped startled and placed a hand on my chest. "What? What're you yelling for?"

"We've been trying to get your attention for a few minutes hyung." Jungkook said.

"Oh, you have?" They nodded. "I'm sorry. What's up?"

"What were you thinking about?" Take asked.

I felt my face flush slightly at that. "Nothing." I smacked myself mentally at how meek that sounded.

The two shared a knowing smirk and I knew I was in trouble. "Were you thinking of a girl?" Jungkook asked being the annoying maknae he is.

"No." I looked away and blushed a bit more.

"Who is she? Is she pretty? What's she like? Does she like you?" They pelted me with questions and I just sank into my chair because I couldn't hardly answer any of that.

"I don't really know. I mean she's very pretty. Like really pretty. Super beautiful. But there's a problem."

They frowned. "What's the problem?"

"I don't know her... Or her name."

"Have you even talked to her?" Jungkook asked.

"Well, not really. We said hi to each other when getting the mail."

"She lives here?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Right next door."

They looked at each other and smiled. "Perfect!" They jumped up and ran to the door.

"Wait, where are you going?" I asked confused.

"We're gonna introduce ourselves to your new neighbor!" Tae said.

"What? No, don't do that!" I jumped up and followed after them. Before I could stop them they had already knocked on the door. "What are you doing?" I whisper yelled.

"We're your wingmen." Tae gave me a boxy smile as Jungkook showed off his bunny teeth.

Before I could try and drag them away the door opened and there she stood in a paint splattered shirt and sweat pants. "Hello?" She asked confused. "Can I help you all?"

I started shaking my head as Take said, "Yes actually. We heard our friend had a new neighbor and we wanted to introduce ourselves. My name is Taehyung." He smiles at her.

"I'm Jungkook."

"And this is your neighbor Jimin." Taehyung said as he pulled me a little closer and I shyly waved.

She slightly chuckled and waved back. "Nice to meet you all. My name is Y/n."

"That's a pretty name." With a sudden burst of confidence I said, "Fitting for a pretty girl like you." I felt my cheeks warm slightly at what I said.

Her cheeks flushed a bit as she chuckled. "Smooth." She glanced behind her and then back at us. "I'd invite you in for a glass of juice or something but I'm in the middle of painting."

"Oh, do you need help?" Jungkook offered.

"Oh, no I couldn't ask you of that."

"No, it's no problem at all." Tae said and nudged me.

"Yeah, we don't mind." I said suddenly shy again.

She thought about it for a minute before a small smile appeared on her face. She nodded. "alright. A little help couldn't hurt I guess." She let us in and shows us around. The layout was the same as mine but different things and everything was covered in plastic. She showed us where she was painting the walls f/c and we got to work. Over the day (with the help of Tae and Kook) we all got along pretty well and were pretty comfortable with each other like we were all old friends with the pretty girl.

"Wow! I can't believe we got all of this done today!" Y/n said after we had finished.

"Nothing is impossible as long as you have friends!" Take exclaimed.

She chuckled and smiled at us. "I really appreciate it guys. Thank you so much. I don't know how I could pay you back for this."

"You don't have to do that." I said quickly. "Consider it a house warming gift."

Her smile widened. "Thank you."

"Oh no. Sorry but we have to go now." The suddenly said. I looked at him and followed his gaze to the clock on the wall. It was getting late and we're meeting everyone for dinner.

I sighed. "Tae's right. Sorry Y/n."

"No, it's completely fine! You helped me a lot today. I can get everything else by myself." She followed us to the door as we said our goodbyes. To my surprise she gave us each a hug. I blushed when she did that but I still smiled.

We turned a d started walking down the hall before something came to mind. I turned around and called for her before she could close her door. "Y/n!"

She poked her head around the corner. "Yes?"

I walked back over to her door as the boys waited for me by the elevator. "I just wanted to say if there's anything I can do for you and if there's anything you need help with just let me know okay?"

"Will do. Thank you again." She gave me a cute small smile.

"No problem." We stood there looking at each other for a moment before I snapped myself out of it. "I uh... I should probably go now. Bye."

She let out a small giggle. "Bye."

Reluctantly I turned around and jogged down the hall to the boys. We got into the elevator and the both smirked at me. "Shut up." I said blushing with a goofy grin on my face.

It's been a couple of weeks since me, Tae and Jungkook helped Y/n paint and I can safely say that we are good friends now. When we bump into each other in the hall or when getting the mail we'll chat a bit more than we used to before and we've gotten to know each other more and more.

I'm sleeping pretty soundly until I'm woken up by knocking on my door. I groan as I looks to the clock. It's a bit after seven. I could ignore it and hope whoever it is will go away or I can get up and hope I run into Y/n while getting the mail in a bit. I nod to myself decidedly and get up. When I get to the door I look through the peep hole and see Y/n standing there. What? I pull back and look around. Was this a dream? A harsh painful pinch to my arm confirmed that this was reality.

I opened the door and smiled at her running a hand through my hair. "Hey." I greeted.

Her cheeks turned pink but I didn't know what from (he sleeps shirtless but doesn't really notice that ;) ). "I'm so sorry did I wake you?"

"No, it's totally fine." I shook my head and smiled wider. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

She rubbed the back of her neck and looked at the ground. "Well, I have this book shelf that I need to put together and I was thinking I'd take you up on your offer to help with anything. But I can come back la-"

"I would love to help you. Just let me get dressed properly and I'll be right over."

She smiled. "Alright." She turned and went to her door and I closed mine. I quickly rushed around my place to make myself look presentable. Once I thought it was good enough I made my way to her door. I knocked and she opened it with a big smile. "Thank you so much for helping."

"I keep telling you I don't mind." I told her playfully. She rolled her eyes and showed me the bookshelf that she needed assembled. We quickly got to work and it was done after just over an hour. It seemed pretty easy putting it up actually and it seemed that she could have done it by herself. Why did she ask me to help with something so easy?

"Here you go." She handed me a glass of water as we sat on her couch.

"Thank you." She just smiled and took a sip of her drink. I did too and sat the glass on the coffee table. I couldn't get that thought out of my head so I decided to ask her. "Hey, Y/n?" She hummed in response. "That book case was pretty easy. I know you can and have done things way harder. So, why did you ask me to help you?"

She blushed and smiled shyly. "Ah. I guess I'm caught now."

I tilted my head at her. "What do you mean?"

She sighed. "Truth is yes I could have done it by myself but I figured it was a good excuse to spend time with you."

"Why would you need an excuse to spend time with me?"

"Well... It's because I... I like you. A lot. And I figured this was the best I would be able to get because there's no way someone as cool and handsome as you would like someone like me and I-"

"Y/n." I grabbed her hand making her look at me. "I like you too."

He eyes widened. "Y-you do?"

"I do. Very much. A lotta lot. Ever since I first saw you I liked you." By this point we were both a blushing mess but we had big smiles on our faces. "So now that that's out of the way would you like to go out on a date with me?"

She laughed and nodded her head. "Yes. I would love to go out on a date with you."

The next night we went out on our first date which led to our second, then our fifth which was when we made it official. It's been a year now and I couldn't be happier. My friends were happy for me. It didn't take long for everyone to find out about us thanks to Taehyung's and Jungkook's constant teasing about my 'thing for the girl nest door.' Even though they could be very irritating sometimes I did have to thank them for helping me make that first step which landed me the best girl in the whole world.
