"The Awkward Neighbor Fangirl"

Miyoung yawned as she made her way across the street. She even brought the cookies she baked last night. She was exhausted because she wracked her brain all night on who could possibly be renting Mr. Hwang' place. Why did she have to keep her mouth shut about whoever it was ?

Still she dismissed everything & knocked on the door. A middle aged man gave her a smile, "Miss Moon ? We've been expecting you." Miyoung followed the man inside & took a seat at the dining table. "Uh, what is this ?" The manager gave a short nod seeing she was confused. "That is an NDA. We need you to agree to this before we give you full access around here."

Miyoung looked over the NDA. "Who am I staying silent for ?" The manager wasn't giving any hints. "You shall find out if you happen to run into anyone while you're around." Miyoung figured signing it wouldn't hurt then. It was clear that whoever it was valued their privacy.

She handed over her tin of cookies. "I hope whoever it is enjoys these." The manager kindly took  the tin before showing her out once more.

Once back in her room she flopped on Stray Kids Felix duvet.

Meanwhile...

The boys were settling into the house. If you guessed by now, this place belonged to Hyunjin' uncle. His uncle was on vacation & had already completed renovations. "Does this place bring back memories, Hyunjin ah ?", Chan asked. Hyunjin sat by the window, "a few memories, yes."

Jeongin had come back into the room with the cookie tin. "Manager-nim said this was a welcoming gift from the neighbor who'll be looking out for us." Jisung clambered over everyone to get a cookie or two. Changbin rolled his eyes, "is there not a card attached ?" Jeongin shook his head.

The manager came into the room. "The neighbor will be by in the morning. I'll take my leave now. Always call if you need anything."

The boys broke off to settle into rooms. Luckily, they all had a room of their own. More rooms were made from the renovations.

Hyunjin sat on his bed looking at a picture from when he was about six. It was him posing with a girl. He smiled fondly at the photo, "I hope you remember me, Miyoung ah."

The Next Morning...

Miyoung knocked getting no answer. She twisted the doorknob & let herself in. "Hello ?" She walked in further. She called out again getting no response.

Miyoung got some light cleaning done. She had her earphones in as she played her Stray Kids playlist. This caused her to be unaware of her surroundings as she got in the zone.

Minho shared a look with the boys, "Should someone tap her  ?" They didn't want to disturb her, but they should get to know her in order to grow more comfortable around her.

Felix tapped her shoulder gently. The other boys not far behind him. Miyoung swiftly took her earphones out. Her eyes settling on Felix' freckles. "L-lee Yongbok ?" Miyoung obviously thought her mind was playing a trick on her. There was no way Felix from Stray Kids was in front of her. Seungmin popped up next to Felix. "Are you ok ?"

Miyoung rubbed her eyes, "Kim Seungmin ?" Jisung let out a chuckle grabbing attention to the others. "Know who I am ?" She nodded. "You are Han Jisung."

Miyoung pointed at each of the remaining members. Her expression was excited, but a hint of terror. Was she going crazy ? This couldn't be Stray Kids. Right ?

"Seo Changbin."

"Yang Jeongin."

"Lee Minho."

"Bang Chan."

Her heart nearly stopped beating as she finally said the words, "Hwang Hyunjin."

Felix offered a smile. "So you know who we are ?" Miyoung nodded flushing out of embarrassment. Jisung looked hopeful, "Ah, so you made the cookies ? I loved them."

Miyoung gave a awkward look as she took them in again. Her mind had to be playing a trick, right ? Their names were all, but a coincidence. Soon enough all went pitch black.

Can you imagine how alarming it was for a woman to pass out in their foyer ?

Three hours later...

Miyoung sat up quick finally coming to. The boys all worriedly surrounding her. I mean, she did faint in the foyer & was out cold for three hours. "AH !", she yelled clutching her hair tightly. She must be dreaming. A hand gently touched her forehead. "She isn't sick, Chan hyung." It was unclear who  said that at the moment.

"Stray Kids ?", she mumbled it. Minho heard her though. "You're a Stay, right ?" Miyoung couldn't believe any of this was happening. She once again was feeling nothing but awkward. "I must be going !"

Miyoung quickly rushed out of there. There was no use in continually acting like a fool. In her rush she dropped her phone. Hyunjin picked it up, of course.

She rushed into her room slumping to the floor. "Am I crazy ? That wasn't real. Was it?", she said to herself trying to collect her overworking brain.
