Lover Next Door

Chapter 27

"Where are we going?" I ask Taeyong

It was finally evening. He was actually willing to go thru with the so called "competition". I honestly hate referring to it as that but it's what they both call it

"To a surprise dinner" he briefly replies

We arrive outside an apartment building...a really big one might I add

"Where are we?"

"You ask a lot of questions" he points out

"Lee Taeyong, are we at your house?" 

"Surprise!" he cheers out

"Oh my gosh" I laugh

"Is that alright? I thought it would be nice have dinner here" he quickly changes to a concerned look

"Oh no! Of course it's okay. I think it's a cute idea"

We both smile at each other. His bright personality is so contagious.

"Shall we go then?" he holds out his arm

"We shall" I link arms with him as we both enter his apartment

His home is very big, and very clean might I add. Seriously this man's house looks like it belongs to someone who has their life together. Oh to be able to be that kind of person.

"Do you like it here?" he notices me observing around

"Huh? Oh yeah it's so nice I can't get over how cool it is" I continue to look around

"Guess I got lucky when I decided to move around here"

"Where did you live before coming here?" I ask

"I've always lived in Seoul. I just lived in a different part of it"

"That's nice. At least you didn't have to make such a huge move"

-

The way he has a nice place, personality, AND can cook?? No way I'm surviving this thing

"What do you think of the food?"

"I'm thinking of getting it to go" I joke

He chuckles

I enjoy Taeyong's company a lot. Part of my heart is telling me to just go thru with it and be with him. But the other part continues to hold me back, telling me that something is missing. If I'm being honest I try to brush off that feeling but it never seems to go away. No matter how much I like him I just feel like there's something lacking from my part. I just don't know what

"Yujin I don't want to pressure you at all" he begins

"Mhmm"

"But I really just hope you know that I really really like you, of course no matter what I'll respect any decision you end up making"

"Stop oh my gosh you're not making this any easier" I gush

"It's true! Honestly just make sure you make the decision for yourself, not anyone else"

He's always been a very considerate and caring person. I sometimes feel like I don't deserve it

He comes up to me and hugs me tightly, I hug him back

"No matter what happens, thank you for giving me a chance"

Damn. I might cry

After dinner he takes me to his rooftop, he has a little spot with pillows and blankets for the two of us,. It's literally the cutest thing ever

The rest of the night we spend it talking for the most part. I tend to enjoy long and deep conversations with people I'm close with. 

"How did you manage to have dinner ready if we were at school?" I ask

"Called in a few people to help"

"You're too sweet" He really did his best to show some effort

"Anything for you" 

Him saying make me feel so happy inside

"Do you have to go see Jaehyun tomorrow?" he holds my hand

"I agreed I would give both of you a chance"

"You're right. I want you to take your time, but at the same time I'm going crazy because I don't know who will get to be with you in the end" he confesses

"Please just give me time. I want to make sure I'm making the right decision" I squeeze his hand

"Of course" he smiles

I hope he doesn't end up hating me if I don't make the decision he wants
