Jungkook glanced at his phone screen just to make sure he got the address right. He stood in front of the gate to the modern and luxurious residential area, wondering if that was really the place where Taehyung lived. But there could be no mistake—he checked it over a thousand times. It was exactly the address Taehyung sent him via text message just a few minutes after they had parted at the school's hall.
JK accepted the boy's offer and he was about to have a math session with Taehyung. He knew it would not end well, not only because he absolutely hated math and was more than sure that nothing, not even Taehyung, would make him understand it. He was also a little bit anxious to meet the boy anywhere outside the school or his apartment. He had no power here which surely would make a difference if something unexpected happened. Besides JK was sure he was the first guest Taehyung had ever invited to his house. And that was a huge privilege.
Jungkook quickly found building 7B and ran the stairs to reach the top floor where apartment number 13 was located. Fortunately, the building wasn't that high—only five stories overall—so he could do some cardio with a little jog. He took one deep breath to steady his beating heart as he was trying to calm down a little and build up his confidence. When he felt ready for what was about to come, he raised his hand to knock. But just as he was about to do it, the door suddenly opened and it was Taehyung who greeted him on the threshold. The boy smiled at him faintly, saying a quiet hello, and quickly disappeared into the hall.
Oh, so it is the right apartment, Jungkook reassured himself as he sighed in relief, and carefully followed the boy inside.
He gently closed the heavy door behind him and took off his shoes almost immediately. He didn't want to get any dirt on the pearly white floor; considering he wore heavy military boots it was more than likely to happen. The tiles in the hall seemed to shine; as if someone had just polished them. JK couldn't make a mess—it would be a mortal disgrace.
Overall, making any mess in this apartment would be considered a crime. Because as he followed Taehyung to the living room, he was instantly met with a luxurious space.
It was a two-story apartment, making the living room spacious and light thanks to the enormous windows going from the floor up to the roof. They gave an amazing view of the nearby park; JK felt as if he was in the center of the jungle even though they were only in the suburbs of Austin. He immediately wanted to grab a glass railing of the luxurious-looking stairs leading to the upper floor. It reminded him of all the apartments he saw in movies. He just wanted to make sure they were real.
Just under the stairs, close to the windows, there was a grand piano which made the inside look even more posh. Like, damn, who has enough space in the living room to fit the entire piano there? Only absolutely rich people. Jungkook wondered if it was a place where Taehyung had his piano classes. He could easily imagine the boy sitting here on rainy days and playing sad ballads—a view that was probably equally magical and heartbreaking.
