joy's pov

*ring ring ring* i slam my hand down on the alarm. ughh moving day. i drag myself out of bed and to the bathroom to take a shower, brush my teeth, get dressed etc. i'm moving to anseong today for college today. i sigh while eating my breakfast. i already live by myself since i moved out when i was 18 to live my own dream. i've been living alone for about 5 months, waiting for summer classes to start to become a forensic scientist the whole investigating thing really fascinates me. my favorite shows consist of criminal minds, forensic files, homicide hunter, and bones.

i grab the last boxes and load them up into my dark blue mini cooper and start my 5 hour journey to my new apartment complex in anseong.

*skip time*

i park my car in the small parking spot especially for the people who live here which must not be many judging on the small two story complex with a worn out structure. i walk into the clear door in the front which reads in black bold letters "office" i open the door which makes a small bell ring signaling someone has entered. there's a man in his mid 40's at least sitting with his arms crossed falling asleep but once the bell rings his eyes shoot open and he's awake.

"annyeonghaseyo ahjussi" I greet with a small bow. he smiles kindly and returns the gesture.

"i'm park joy and i have an apartment reserved for me." i say. he looks in thought for a second then answers.

"ahhh ne! park joy, apartment #12, ne here's your key.... be careful..." he says looking worried, handing me a gold metal key.

"gomabseubnida ahjussi..." i thank him while looking at him strangely. why do i need to be careful? i think to myself as i walk out of the office and up the cement stairs on the side of the complex.

it takes me just a bit to find the apartment since there's only 15 apartment rooms and only five cars including mine parked in the parking lot. i open the door to my apartment feeling a bit paranoid... i feel like someone's watching me.. i quickly turn and look around me. hmm... that's weird.. i could've sworn there was someone looking at me... it's just your head joy aish. i shake my head and walk into my new apartment.

right when you walk in is the living room, kind of small but it'll have to do. the moving workers already brought in all the furniture so now i just have to bring my clothes and personal things. i walk into the rest of the apartment and see i have one bedroom for myself of course, two bathrooms and a small kitchen but perfect for cooking. there's also a small table to eat in the living room right outside the kitchen and some chairs along side the counter of the kitchen. in the living room there's an L shaped black smooth couch and a big tv right in front sitting on a drawer with little glass doors to put movies, game consoles, or a tv box. the floor is brown carpet in both the living room and my bedroom. the kitchen and bathrooms however are hardwood flooring.

i walk back outside and down the cement stairs feeling eyes burning holes into my back but when i turn around no one is there... this is strange but i just shake it off telling myself it's just my imagination even though deep down in the pit of my stomach is churning.

i open my car and grab two random boxes and walk up the stairs to my apartment number i try balancing the heavy boxes on my thigh as i try to find my keys but the top one slips but just as it's about to hit the floor a pair of tan arms catch it making my gasp and look up at this stranger. he was gorgeous, brown hair that the bangs touched his eyebrows and eyes a beautiful brown, he looked slightly older than me. "whoa there" the stranger said chuckling in a deep raspy voice that made shivers go down my spine.

"t-thank y-you sir." i stutter not quite knowing why he intimidated me, maybe it was his insane height compared to mine, his deep voice that sounded like dark chunky chocolate, or the aura he gave off that felt somewhat dangerous. he stares at me for a few seconds then his face cracks into a smile.

"we should get these in your apartment shouldn't we?" he says making me snap out of my trance.

"oh! right!" i say feeling red warmth creep up to my pale cheeks. i quickly grab my keys and fumble with the door trying to open it feeling his piercing eyes on me. i finally open the door and set the boxes on the floor beside the door next to the light switch that is i five feet above the carpeted floor. he steps inside slowly and sets down the box beside where i set down mine. he looks around the apartment as if observing every detail. i clear my throat quietly and that seems to grab his attention as he snaps his head to me and smiles.

"hi, i'm kim taehyung." he says and sticks his hand out. i stare at it for a few seconds seeing that it is huge compared to my tiny hands. i reach out my hand and shake his hand. he has a strong grip on my hand as he stares into my eyes with a gaze that makes me almost uncomfortable.

"park joy" i say with a small smile. i try to pull my hand back but his grip is strong and he's still staring at me blankly. i clear my throat once again and he lets go of my hand slowly, his eyes never leaving my face making me feel self conscious. am i that ugly?

"thank you for helping me kim taehyung." i say shyly in a low voice. he smiles lightly.

"it's no problem, park joy." he says smoothly. the way he says my name makes my throat go dry.

"do you need any help with the rest of the boxes?" he asks with a smile.

"oh um, i think i'm okay, thank you though." i answer kindly with a kind smile, politely dismissing his offer, he seems displeased with my answer as his eyes slightly darken and the smile fades off his face.

"the boxes are heavy for a gentle girl like you, i insist sweetie." he says little rougher and demanding. i'm at loss for words at his sudden mood change.

"o-oh um.. i guess if it's n-not a b-bother." i say feeling slightly frightened. he instantly smiles again.

"not at all now let's go." he says and walks down to her trunk and grabs two more boxes while i reach to get one he pushes my hands away shocking me.

"no. i got it. you just follow." he says in a serious tone looking straight into my eyes. i don't know what but something in the way he looked at me made me feel like i have to listen to him. i slowly nod my head and he smiles once again. what's wrong with him? i think to myself as i watch him walk up the stairs. he stops midway and turns to look at me.

"you coming?" he asks sounding a bit agitated. i look up, cheeks flushed red and start fast walking up the stairs. this is gonna be a long day.
