Taehyung lived in a comfortable little duplex that he was happy to call home, but everyday when he went outside to his car, his neighbor was outside. His very hot, very much a firefighter, very strong, and very much loved to talk, neighbor.
He was so handsome, sitting outside shirtless sometimes giving Taehyung far too much to fantasize about when he's trying to sleep at night.
And it made Taehyung nervous about how he looked before he left everyday, making sure his hair was just right and his outfit looked perfect.
"Hey, Tae!" The firefighter shouted from his porch, waving at the man who was headed to his car.
"Hi, Jungkook! How are you doing this morning?" Taehyung beamed back, excited to talk to the man.
"Oh you know, just the usual. You heading to work?" Jungkook asked curiously, wanting to know if he had more time.
"No just gonna head to the store, I have today off." Taehyung said with a smile.
"Oh cool! I'll probably still be out here by the time you get back, let me know if you want help carrying anything in!" Jungkook's offer was genuine and not as egotistical as it sounded, he just wanted to be helpful.
"T-thank you! I should be back soon!" Taehyung rushed in to his car, too nervous at the idea of seeing the man a second time today.
His shopping trip was a blur, thoughts consumed by the man currently waiting to help carry his groceries. What if his house was a mess? What if he left dishes in the sink? Taehyung's heart felt like it was racing more and more the closer that he got to his house.
Pulling into the driveway was a more complicated task than usual by far but Jungkook's wave and kind smile as he pulled in helped ease his nerves a bit.
Taehyung practically stumbled out of his car to open the trunk, Jungkook jogging over to help with anything he could.
"Don't worry, I'll grab the water." Jungkook said with a smile, stacking the 2 cases of water on top of each other and easily carrying them away from the car.
"Thank you!" Taehyung called out, grabbing the 2 small grocery bags and heading for his door.
"I appreciate you helping." Taehyung blushed, following Jungkook through the door to his small kitchen, placing the groceries on a nearby counter top while Jungkook put the water down on the table.
"Of course, I would be insane not to help you." Jungkook said, turning around to face Tae who was leaning against the counter.
"Why is that?" Taehyung said with a confused laugh.
"Well, someone as pretty as you shouldn't have to carry their own groceries." Jungkook replied boldly, stepping forward, trapping Taehyung between his body and the counter.
"Pretty?" Taehyung said breathlessly, gripping tighter on the counter as he struggled to keep the eye contact with Jungkook.
"That's what I said, isn't it?" Jungkook tilted his head to the side, bringing his tattooed hand up to brush a few stray hairs out of Taehyung's face.
"I didn't know that you think I'm pretty..." Taehyung was bright red, no longer looking Jungkook in the eye, finding the little bit of floor between them to be much easier too bare looking at.
"I try to talk to you every day. I wait for you to come outside, sometimes shirtless in freezing weather just to get your attention, you really haven't caught on?" Jungkook held Taehyung's cheek, forcing him to look up at him.
"I-I just thought you liked being shirtless in the cold." Taehyung replied nervously, not knowing how they got to this point but definitely not complaining.
