The sounds from outside cause you to stand up from your couch and walk to the window. You see a large removal van outside the front of the next door house and several large men carrying items into the property. ‘Hmm, must be the new neighbour’ you thought to yourself before returning to your seat to continue watching telly. Several hours pass and you awake curled in a ball at the top part of the sofa. You stretch your body and drag yourself to the kitchen to pick at some food and tidy up. You didn’t realise how messy it was from cooking breakfast so you grabbed some bags and gave your kitchen a deep clean.

‘Done’ you sang to yourself looking at your sparkling units. You then collected all the trash and decided to take it to the bins out front. Stepping out into the cool air felt nice, the breeze caused your hair to be blown out of your face and the smell of freshness filled up your nose. You skipped happily along your front lawn and threw the bags into the large bin, causing you to almost fall over from the weight. You then spin on your heel to walk back into your house when you stop in your tracks. Half way down the next doors garden is one of the most handsome men you have ever laid eyes on. His hair is slightly messy and he looks a little tired, but that still doesn’t take away from the beauty his face holds. He briefly stops to smile at you before walking towards his car to retrieve something. As he’s walking back towards his house you decide to say something. ‘Hello’ you say trying to snap yourself out of whatever spell you seem to be under. ‘Oh erm hi’ he responds not quite looking you in the eye. ‘You must be the new neighbour, I’m y/n’ you smile holding out your hand for him to shake. ‘Right, yes…I’m Giseok’ he says taking your hand in his for a brief moment. His hands were soft and warm, you almost didn’t want him to let go. ‘Well I best be going’ he says quickly before making his way back to the house. ‘What a strange and yet beautiful man’ you whisper to yourself before making your way back inside.

Several days pass and you don’t see or hear from your new neighbour, causing the curiosity to get the better of you. You somehow manage to talk yourself into going over, just to make sure he’s ok….I know it’s a completely stupid idea, but you just couldn’t help it, you wanted to see his cute face again. You get yourself ready (and maybe do your makeup and hair) before heading over and softly knocking on the door. From inside you can faintly hear hip-hop music which is turned off before the door opens. ‘Oh, Hi’ Giseok says with a look or slight confusion on his face. ‘Hello, I just popped round to make sure you we’re doing ok and settled in well’ you smile whilst taking in his beauty, he was even prettier in the day time. ‘I’m doing ok thanks’ he says shyly, still not really able to look you in the eye. ‘I liked the music you were playing’ you state trying to get him to look at you. ‘Really?’ He smiles, finally looking you in the eyes. ‘Yeah of course, I’m actually really into old school hip-hop’ you nod. ‘Same’ he replies enthusiastically. This was the first time you had seen him come out of his shell abit. ‘Well it was nice seeing you again’ you smiled, turning to leave. ‘I was actually just making some coffee if you wanted one’ he asked awkwardly, nervous about making the first move. ‘That sounds nice’ you smiled, stepping into his house.

Now the months has passed, Summer became Autumn which soon fell into Winter. Over the time that went by, you and Giseok had become quite good friends. You had learnt he was a dancer and he learnt about your hobbies too. You helped him do some decorating and he came over to fix an electric blow out you had. The problem was that the more you saw him, the more you started to fall for him, but you had no idea if he felt the same. He was slightly awkward and never looked in your eyes for more than several seconds at a time. You also feared that if you did make a move, that he would reject you and then living next door to the man who refused your advances. A knock of the door pulls you from your thoughts. Upon opening the door you’re face to face with Giseok, which sets your heart off again pounding inside your chest. ‘Hey’ you smile at him, trying to keep your cool. ‘Hey, I was wondering if you were free for a second’ he states causing you to nod in response, ‘sure what’s up?’. ‘I’ve chosen the paint colour for spare room, I was wondering if you could and give me your expert opinion? He asks. You giggle in response and follow him over to the house. Upon entering the bedroom you can see the corner where he’s started to paint. ‘I love it’ you say to him, ‘it gives really cozy vibes’. He smiles at your words and takes a step closer, crossing his arms. ‘I agree’ he says. You turn your face to look at him, his eyes are fixed on the wall which gives you time to look at him. His skin is smooth and his lips are plump. He’s quite tall so you have to slightly lift your head when you look at him, but you get a nice view of his sharp jawline and slender neck. Boy was he beautiful, not the obvious in your face kind of beauty, but the subtle soft kind. He has long strong arms which makes you think what it would be like to be wrapped up in them, how good would feel and warm it would be. Soon he realises that you’re staring and tries to get your attention. ‘Y/n? is everything ok?’ He asks. Before you have chance to think things through you take a step forward, lifting your feet so you’re balancing on your tip-toes, your hand locks around the back of his neck and you pull him in for a kiss. The kiss is soft and slow, no tongues, no biting, just his lips against yours and it feels amazing. You feel like you’re sinking into him, like you’re drinking him in, but as soon as it happens, it also ends. ‘I’m so so sorry’ you say once you have pulled away. ‘I don’t know what came over me and I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable and if I did…’ before you could continue on babbling, you feel his hands around your waist and he lifts you into his arms as his lips again claim yours for his own. This kiss is different to the first one, this one is hungry and passionate. Your hands are in each others hair and your breaths are ragged and messy. ‘Hmm’ you whine into the kiss, happy that he reciprocated how you felt. ‘I didn’t think you would kiss me back’ you giggled once you had broken apart. ‘Why would you ever think that’ he smiled ‘I’m so glad you came into my life’ he says and you too realise that everything happens for the reason and he just so happens to be your reason.
