Y/N's POV:
I woke up early to prepare us breakfast whilst jaehyun was still sleeping. That goof! I made it simple and delicious at all once. I looked out the window. there were moving trucks unloading the heaps of things they were carrying early in the morning. "poor people" I whispered. Being distracted, I nearly burned down the whole kitchen. luckily I was still aware of what I left on the stove and in the toaster.

"Hi 'morning Y/N".
I turned my head to face him looking all sleeping but yet ready for the day.
" 'morning! well slept?" I asked him.
He hesitated before saying "it could've been more satisfying if someone didn't kicker me from their room to another one". He put on a smirk on his face, proud of what he just said.
"ExCuse mEh?!!" I replied faking a shocked state. "I'm not letting anyone sleep in my room in less it's my friend" I added.
"ah okay and am I a joke to you ?" he said sarcastically.
"No, I didn't meant it like that, I'm talking a friend "girl", but of course you're my friend jae, what the fuck". He showed me his biggest smile before attacking breakfast because why not. we have a long day to pass anyways.

"girl, I'm telling you, our teachers are old as fuck". Our day at school was between exciting and boring.
" I know really, but Jae what's important now is what are we going to eat when we'll get back home?". He sighed in exaggeration "are u serious girl? you're always thinking about food". I turned to face him "yeah, and?". We stayed silent for a second before bursting our from laughter. Suddenly, the sight now that tall delivery guy popped into my head. "Talking about food, why were you acting so cold with that guy yesterday?". His smile turned into a serious face. He focused on t he road and I never got to hear his answer. The traffic was silent until we reached our place. "shit" I cursed to myself closing the car's door. "holy moly, what is he doing here?" Not that guy heading into the house near to us. "what a fuck?"I heard jaehyun say on the other side. " jae, please don't. let's go home" I dragged him inside. Really I hate to see him all tensed. "jae..."
"He was a friend... and he's the last person you wanna fuck with". before waking past me, I took the occasion and planted a kiss on his cheek. "if you say so, then I trust you". "Duh, you better do" he chucked.
Honestly even if he told me to not get near to him, I still wanna get to know him and maybe get them to forgive each other.

next morning:

"I'll go start the car". I went outside and there he was in front of his car too heading somewhere. I tried to not look at him.
"Good morning". I lifted my eyes towards him. " oh- good morning". He closed his car door and walked in my direction. "I guess you're not just my costumer" he laughed with all his bright white teeth. "yeah I guess so. by the way, I'm y/n". His scent was expensive. "And I'm Johnny. nice to meet you". he extended his hand. "indeed Johnny".

Johnny's POV:

her. y/n. the most beautiful and breathtaking woman of all time. her hand was as soft as new born baby's skin. I can't take my eyes off of hers. that last night. if it wasn't for him, you'd already be mine. But...
"umm...I'm sorry John but I have to go start the engine before we ran late"
that snapped me from my daydreaming. "but my name is-" she cut me "see you soon, bye". With that, she went inside her car. "Johnny...John... sounds pretty good...not bad...if it's you" I muttered to myself before returning to my place.

Jaehyun's POV:
"why is she talking to him? I thought I told her not to". I felt my blood boiling from the scene. "meow!" Lucie jumped to the window. I think she wants to see what was going on too. "see Lucie, I think your mama found a new evil friend". her cat reacted right away. " yeah, he's evil. he's very bad. don't you like him too like your mama seems to do" I talked back to her. "meow". I petted her and headed outside right at the moment she noticed me and entered the car.

Y/n POV:
The car ride was indeed very silent. how am I supposed to explain myself. " jae...". he didn't even looked at me and instead chose to cut me right away "what?". I decided to not talk to him anymore and just focus on the road.

~time skip~:

Since we got home from uni, he didn't even dare to put his eyes on me. he kept ignoring me all the way, even in class. At first, i felt bad. but afterwards I thought it was ridiculous. So I ignored him too. it could go on for days and I won't give up on that game. DUH! SO PATHETIC.
"he's not my father nor my brother anyway" I muttered to myself. what could this be that he can't stand about the neighbor. Shit, what was his name again? Joe? John? idk. "maybe I have to ask him. maybe he can answer me properly". no more time to waste, I grabbed my jacket and my shoes and directed myself to the front door.
" where are you going lady?" I stared at the guy who ghosted me all day with such indifference "to the neighbor's house, why?". He kept looking at me pain writen all over his face and in his eyes. I turned around to open the door when he grabbed me by my wrist and made face him again " why that sudden interest when I told you to not get near him?". Even if he keeps getting on my nerves, I still managed to stay calm "I need to know the truth, do I have any other choices?". "he killed my bother, Aiden died because of him". he said what he said. silence filled up the hallway. no more talks. I felt like crap. and even, crap isn't just the word that describes me right now. I felt like the most expensive shit that ever existed on earth. I walked past him and went straight to my bed, trying to process what he just said. My mind was swallowed and blocked in the biggest blank of all time. I went under the covers and closed my eyes wishing tomorrow would be better.
