Neighborhood (Gguktaekook)

I

TP POV:

Today was the day Taehyung was going to socialize. He finally had a break from unboxing their shit and Jimin took over for him.

It was bright and sunny this morning so when he walked on the green grass of their lawn, the blond took in a deep breath. His lungs filling up and his chest puffed at the action. Once he let go of the air it almost felt like half of his tension blew away with it.

"Fancy seeing such a piece of art like you in this dull place" a sudden raspy voice spoke up and his head shot at the direction of the source.

When he turned to look at the left side of the lawn Taehyung made eye-contact with a face he could only describe as godly.

The man was muscular. So much so that it was prominent through the "baggy" gray t-shirt he was wearing. His midnight black hair was parted to show his glorious forehead and his eyes looked like they had galaxies in them from how they were sparkling.

Taehyung, even as his gorgeous self, would gladly admit that this man was a very high quality of handsome.  And that smirk, oh that million dollar smirk could kill a heart any day.

Especially if it was a sensitive gay heart like Taehyung's.

It took a moment before Taehyung registered the fact that the guy had actually called him a piece of art. And once his brain processed that information his cheeks grew increasingly red.

"H-hello" the blond stuttered and waved. The gesture was adorable in every way possible. His cheeks grew even redder when he heard the handsome man chuckle. He could practically hear his amusement.

"Hi there. Are you my beautiful new neighbor?" He asked, flirting casually as if it was easy as breathing. Taehyung nodded shyly as he took baby steps to advance towards the man behind the fence. He didn't trust his voice at this point.

"My name is Jeon Jungkook. What about you angel?" He asked with a charming smile. The grin reminding him of a rabbit.

It was quite odd to have such a cute smile with such a muscular body. But somehow this Jungkook guy pulled it off seamlessly.

"Kim Taehyung. So you are one of the notorious Jeon brothers that live here huh?" The blond spoke up after gaining a bit more of confidence.

But that came crumbling down the minute Jungkook flashed another one of his smirks. "So you have heard about us" he said somewhat in satisfaction. Taehyung hummed.

"Well, yes. I would've introduced you to my brother but he's currently at work. Sucks to be him to miss out on seeing such a gorgeous view" he said with a wink.

Taehyung huffed out amused in absolute disbelief. "You are such a flirt!" He laughed. Jungkook joined him in the laughter as well. "of course I am! Have you seen yourself?! You're a living art piece" the raven gestured to all of Taehyung.

The blond couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles. He has had people flirt with him before, but no one was as bold and non-creepy as Jungkook was. And he's known the guy for five minutes. His boldness was almost refreshing.

He was glad that his new neighbor wasn't only handsome but also a flirty and friendly guy. Also handsome.

Jungkook on the other hand was mesmerized. He was stuck in his position of leaning against the fence as he stared amazed at his new neighbor.

Taehyung was a male more on the petit side. His light pink tee hanging loosely from his shoulders. His complexion was slightly tanned and glowed in the sunlight. His eyes were a beautiful hazel color which reflected like gold when the light hit them.

With his blond hair, golden eyes, and his gold-like complexion Taehyung looked like a sculpture carved from pure gold.

So gorgeous and magical. So much so that you wouldn't want to touch it because you're afraid you'd taint it. 

As an artist, Jungkook knew beauty. And Taehyung was the finest kind. And as an artist, Jungkook also knew how to treat them.

With utmost care and patience.

"So, what do you do for work Jungkook-ssi?" Taehyung's honey voice broke him out of his trance.

"Just Jungkook is fine. I'm an artist. A painter and photographer to be specific" he answered with a smile. Taehyung beamed at the information. "Will you do a painting for me one day?" He asked with so much hope in his eyes.

It was clear Taehyung loved paintings just by looking at his reaction. "I would love to" he replied with a fond smile.

Ten minutes. Just ten minutes with Taehyung and Jungkook was already hooked.

The blond squealed happily. He just adored paintings and he'd love to own one of Jungkook's. The man seemed really nice.

"What do you do for work Taehyung? Do you mind me calling you that?" He asked politely. Taehyung shook his head and smiled. "me and my best friend are models. We moved here because of our new agency actually" he said. Not giving too much away about himself.

"It must be great to be with your best friend. Here I am stuck with my grumpy brother" the raven complained with an eyeroll. Taehyung tilted his head in question. "Do you not have a good relationship with him?" He asked.

Jungkook's eyes widened for a breif moment as he didn't want to project such an impression. "No nono. We love each other very much. He's a great brother. It's just that he's sometimes a bit grumpy due to his job." The raven quickly explained.

Taehyung made a sound of realization. "What kind of work does he do?" He asked this time.

"He's a tattoo artist. He has a studio a few blocks away. And he's also a fashion assistant in the same company where I work as a photographer" the male replied.

Taehyung just gaped at him and blinked for a second. "Wow you guys are busy people. How do you sleep at night with all that talent?" He said astonished. Jungkook laughed heartily  at the compliment.

"I'm sure being a model is no easy feat either sweetheart" he said back. Taehyung adorned a beautiful smile. He really did love his job.

Suddenly a call from Jimin came from inside the house making them to have to cut their conversation short.

"It was nice talking to you Jungkook" he said with a smile which the later returned. "It was nice talking to you too Taehyung"

The blond then turned around to return to his abode but got stopped by Jungkook's call. He turned to him questioningly.

"Are you coming to the community party tonight?" The raven asked. Taehyung looked at him confused not knowing what that was.

"The host will probably come to invite you and your friend soon. It's a backyard party where all the people of the neighborhood come to. It's usually held in the park nearby. If you do come then we'll see each other there. I can even introduce you to my brother" he explained with a sweet smile.

Taehyung nodded rapidly. "If we get invited then we'll be there surely. I would love to meet your brother too. I'll introduce you to my friend then as well. He's a little busy and probably cranky right now" he said with a giggle.

Jungkook grinned boyishly and waved at him. "See you there then" he said and left for his house. Taehyung looked at him for a bit more time before finally going inside.

What an interesting man.
