As You Are (Kim Taehyung Story)

Chapter 1

"Couples... Couples again.." I sighed to myself as I collect my coffee and walk back to my table. This cafe is full of couples and here I am, being a loser loner, doing work all by herself.

"Please stop touching her hands" " Oh yay, her boyfriend is finally here" "Oh goddddd, pls stop" "*Sigh*" "okay whatever" These are the most common sentences in my life whenever I go to places. The last time I dated someone for real was about 4-5 years ago. After that horrible break-up, I gave up on this thing called love or something. I've just been going with the flow. If its time for love to come into my life, it will. If not, I'll just keep waiting. But.. honestly, I'd be lying if I were to say that I don't need anyone in my life. Because sometimes, you just wish you have that someone in your life who you can rant about your bad day to, the one that you run to whenever you have good news, the one to comfort you when things aren't going well in your life, the one to give hugs especially when you really need one.

I rolled my eyes and got back to my senses. I continued on my work while drinking coffee. My best friend, Kim Seo Hyeon, has been studying overseas for almost 4 months now and I really miss her. College has been nothing but a pain in the butt.But no matter how much I complained about how difficult college life is, I need education to survive and the only thing I'm striving for in life is to get good education and make my parents proud.

As the sun sets, I walk slowly back home, listening to my songs while internally jamming out, dancing out the dance steps in my head. As I was approaching my house, there was a huge van parked outside and many people are walking in and out of the building while carrying furnitures. "Oh! A new neighbour!" I thought to myself. An elderly man then stopped right in front of me and gave me a smile.

I took out my earpiece and said "Oh, you must be the new neighbour!"

"Well, indeed, i think I am. Which floor are you living on?"

"16th! How about you?"

"What a coincidence! I'm on the 16th floor too. Nice to meet you, young lady. My grandson would like it if he knew there's someone his age staying on the same floor as us"

I just smiled and told him that I'll have to get home and that it was great to meet him too. "Grandson? Same age as me?" I thought to myself and then just easily brushed off the thought and goes up to my house. BUT, my house door is block by a huge box. I looked around for anyone and noticed a guy in a black shirt standing in front of the door next to mine. "Kim..." what? "Kim Taehyung...?" This guy is a joke. Who would put their name so big on the back of the shirt anyway? It's very big that even if you stand 1000m away, you can still clearly see his name that is being printed on the back of the shirt.

"Hi, excuse me?" I was ignored. "Excuse me??" I tried again and got ignored again. I walked towards him and tapped his shoulder "Excuse me, Mr Kim?" This time, he turned and took out his earpiece. Great, so all this time, when I'm calling him out, he didn't even hear it.

"Yes?" his voice was deep. Deeper than the ocean I guess. For a moment I became speechless but nope, I got to my senses real quick.

"Yep, hi. I just wanna tell you that uh, your box, is blocking the entrance to my house. I don't mean to be rude or anything but it'd be great if you could move it. I could move it myself but that's your stuff and my mum used to tell me to not touch things that are not mine" I laughed to myself, for no reason.

I was expecting him to be all rude and arrogant because when he turned to me, he did not smile and had this arrogant vibe all around him but thank god, he's not what i thought he was.

"Oh, I am so sorry. I didn't realised that it was there. I'll remove it now" he said and immediately move the box away.

"I'm so sorry once again. And thanks for telling me about it or i'll thought that its a parcel for your house" he smiled.

I smiled back and went into my house. I am just hoping that this kid, isn't the type to blast noisy music loudly in the middle of the night. Not the type to cause trouble. Because if he is, i'll have to keep going out and find somewhere peaceful to study as exams are just round the corner and I can't afford to lose focus! Speaking of that, I totally forgot to introduce myself to him. Oh wait, whatever. I don't need to introduce myself because I don't think I'll bump into him that much, considering that I rarely go out of my house. Right?
