boy next door // l. riwoo

Your POV

I just got back to my home safely after spending some time at my parents house. As I arrived at the floor my apartment was located at, I saw a bunch of boxes in front of the apartment next door.

That apartment was empty for about three weeks and I guess there's a new person moving in. The apartment is very busy with voices and people coming in and out bringing furniture.

Without any more thoughts and with the tiredness that I feel, I entered my apartment and let the day go by.

The next day comes and I feel so alive that since today is still the weekend. I'm about to fall asleep again when there's a knock on my door.

"Urgh.. who is it?" I muttered, kicking off the blanket and heading to the front door. When I open it, I see an unfamiliar boy with a huge smile on his face.

"Hi! Sorry to bother you. I'm Riwoo, the new tenant next door!"

Still being half asleep, I nodded and squinted my eyes to have a better look at him.

"You're handsome." I mumbled unconsciously.

"Ye-Yes?"

"H-Huh? Oh- I mean, nice to meet you too!" I stuttered before cursing myself internally. He laughed and couldn't help but feel flustered.

"Well, here. Hope you have a good day. See you again!" He said, handing me a paper bag of rice cakes.

I thanked him and closed the door. I could feel my face reddening as I threw myself into the bed and hide myself under the comforter. "Gosh! Why did I say that!"

Riwoo's POV

"You're handsome."

I couldn't stop thinking about the girl next door and felt my cheeks burning up every time I recalled the way she said that.

"ARGH!" I buried my face using the pillow and shouted out of shyness.

I lie down in my bed and wait for my siblings and cousin to come as they promised to help me unpack and clean my new apartment.

After such a long tiring day, I chose to grab some food from a nearby convenience store. As I was choosing food from the shelves, my eyes caught someone wearing an oversized hoodie grabbing a cup of ramyeon.

"Oh, girl next door?"

She looks at me and her eyes widened. "Boy next door?"

"Yes I am."

"Are you buying those for dinner?" She asks.

"Yes, I feel hungry suddenly." I giggled.

Your POV

I don't know where the confidence came from, I put the thing I just took and said. "What about.. I treat you to dinner somewhere nearby? As a welcome from me. I'm sorry I didn't greet you properly this morning." I manage to say those words without stuttering.

He froze for a while. "W-Well, I guess that's not a bad idea."

We then walked out from the store to a restaurant. "The food here is very tasty." I told him. He nods understand and starts to order.

"So, what's your name?" He started the conversation and I just realised that I haven't introduced myself yet.

"I'm Y/n. L/n Y/n."

"Oh, well.. I introduced myself as Riwoo right? Actually my name is Lee Sanghyeok but people prefer to call me Riwoo."

"Oh... It's nice meeting you, Riwoo."

"It's nice meeting you too, Y/n."
