The Affair

Chapter 3 (T)

The brain is an interesting organ. The left controls the right body while the right the left. It can discard memories it deems unimportant while repeating some in an endless loop. The heart needs the brain to tell it to pump blood while dealing with stimuli that the body gets exposed to. It's the powerhouse for sure. Mitochondria has nothing on the brain.

Right now, y/n's brain can't seem to keep Leeknow out of it.

She was on her way out of the house when it happened. The morning sun on its descent down the horizon while plush hues of pink, purple and orange painted the sky.

She got into her car, checking that she had her purse and other necessities when Leeknow got home earlier than expected and was rather... wet.

He shirt clung to his torso, outlining the bumps and dips of his muscles, his hair stuck to his forehead while his exposed skin glistened. Even though he wasn't drenched, most probably wet from some sweat inducing activity, y/n couldn't help but stare.

Leeknow rounded his car, getting his keys out his pocket while busy on his phone. As his head lifted his chocolate brown eyes met y/n's. A smirk and a head up in greeting was all it took for y/n's brain to capture that moment, storing it, only to torment her with it later.

Leeknow dropped his gaze back to the phone, tapping it before holding it up, shaking it side to side to her. Y/n glanced down at her phone as it chimed and opened it, seeing a message from none other than Lee Minho.

LK: Like what you see?

She looked up only to find a smug look on his face. Her cheeks heated at the revelation of Leeknow catching her checking him out, in broad daylight.

Y/n: Why'd you come home early today?

Hopefully changing the subject would be enough of a distraction for the both of them. Y/n mostly.

Lk: You been keeping tabs on me, y/n? Seems like we got ourselves a lil stalker.

Y/n snapped her head up, hand gripping phone. Leeknow flashed one of his charming smiles before disappearing into his house.

Y/n wasn't a stalker. So she knew when he woke up, left the house and returned, that didn't make her a stalker... just an observer...

It's not like she had any bad intentions. She was bored and lonely and Leeknow just happened to brighten her day with his presence alone.

"Hey, love" Seungmin said the one day as he got into bed. Y/n stayed up until he came back home. She couldn't sleep. Not when her sinfully sexy neighbor kept occupying every thought in her mind.

Y/n and Leeknow have texted quite a bit since they exchanged numbers.
Y/n had to often restrain herself from wanting to text the man every 10 minutes. She didn't want to seem excessive or overbearing. No. If she wanted to be friends with her neighbor, she had to act civilized. Spamming someone's phone with messages was not civilized.

"Hey," she responded as Seungmin brought her closer to him. His skin warm against hers. "The company's anniversary party is tomorrow-well I guess today, since it's 2 in the morning," Seungmin muttered while stroking her arm.
