You see the surprise on his face as he is trying to connect some dots. “Well I guess we really will be seeing a lot of each other. Oh. Allow me to introduce myself properly, by the way. Hi, Y/N. I’m Park Seong Hwa.” He says as he tilts his head down. “I kind of told you one of my nicknames instead of my actual name. But if we are going to be friends - and working together, kinda, I guess, I suppose we should be properly introduced. Wait. Is Y/N your real name?” He looks up at your face like he is ready to learn a huge secret.
“Yes, that’s my name.” You tell him smiling. “I don’t have to lie about my name in a new country where nobody knows me or could find out my super secret identity at any moment.” You laugh a little. “Would you like to come in? I understand if you can’t.”
“I would love to… um. I don’t think I should, though. I kinda didn’t tell anyone I was leaving, so I shouldn’t stay too long, or they’ll notice I’m not there.”
“Ah. Well that’s okay. I don’t even have anything to offer you to drink right now. Maybe next time.” You say and smile at him. He gives you a big grin back and says “yeah. Next time. Just make sure you actually check your phone every once in a while.” He smirks and says bye before heading to the elevators.
You watch him go and close the door, leaning against it. “Oh my god!” You whisper/scream, kicking your feet trying to pull yourself together. You really need to get out of here before you run in circles around your apartment. Fine. What a great time to go shopping! You don’t have anything to eat here and it’s getting to be late afternoon, so you should do your shopping now. You grab your purse and head out.
You go to the store that’s down the street and get everything you need. Sheets, pillows, towels, all your laundry things (thank GOD your unit has a washer/dryer in it!), and kitchen things. You really forgot how much goes into getting a new place. It’s been years since you had to get anything.
You check out and decide to grab a cab home. It isn’t that far, but you have way too much stuff to walk the few blocks back. As you’re getting out of the cab and starting to pull bags out, you hear someone coming towards you.
“Ah! New neighbor!” You turn around and see who you now know is Yeosang walking towards you with his hand up in a half wave. You look up and say hello.
“Do you need help? You sure have a lot of stuff!” He asks. The one you now know is San walks up behind him.
“Yeosang, you can’t just -“
“Look at how much she has! Shouldn’t we offer to help?” He looks up at San with a smile on his face.
“Oh, I’ll be okay, really!” You tell them as you start picking things up.
San grabs a bag to help, and you try to stop him. “I really am fine! It’s just getting them into the building! I can manage!”
“Yeah, but why possibly have to make two trips? We can help!” San says. He speaks so politely! Goodness! “Even if it’s just to the elevator, please, let us help you.”
You look at all your bags and then the distance between you and the elevators inside the still a little far away building. “Okay.” You breathe out. “I will accept your help. But only to the elevators! I can definitely get it from there!”
“Okay!” They both say as they grab a bag or two each. It really is helpful and now you don’t have to make two trips! The three of you get inside, and they carry your things onto the elevator with you, and you thank them, thinking they would just put them down once on. When they continue holding the bags and tell you to push your floor, you do, trying not to look anxious. It wasn't a bad anxious. More of a “OMG I’m being helped by idols who are also Seonghwa’s friends/group mates. Don’t be weird. Don’t be weird. Do NOT be weird.” Kind of anxious.
You get to the 11th floor and tell them they can just leave them at the entrance of the elevator, and they get off still holding them. “Lead the way! We will at least carry them to your door! We got them this far!” Yeosang tells you.
“Yeosang, what if she doesn’t want us knowing which one is hers? You shouldn’t push her.” San tells him. They are so cute.
“Oh. It’s fine. If you absolutely insist, it’s just this way.” You tell them in a half teasing way. You lead them down the short hall to your door and tell them that this one is yours. You have them drop the bags and thank them for their assistance, waving as they head back to the elevators to go to the next floor up to their own place.
You breathe a deep breath once the elevator doors close and head inside with your things. The rest of the day is spent doing laundry and getting your place set up. It really just needs to be put together enough for functionally getting ready for work for the week. You can fine-tune next weekend and on your time off.
