today is weekend and also the day we'll be moving. it's nice that it's  sunny today so it'll be easy for us to move our things. unlike yesterday, it was really rainy.

we rented a truck for us to move our huge appliances and supplies in our new home. i helped fixing our materials inside the home, mom and dad both clean the house.

after many hours of cleaning and fixing all of our things, we're finally relieved. i looked around, seeing the bright view coming from the window. the atmosphere here is really nice and i love our new home.

i went to my room, the room i spent hours on decorating. i lay my exhausted body on my fluffy bed. i looked at the window in my room, seeing another house in front of us. it's nice to have a neighbor, i hope they're kind. we used to have a grumpy grandma neighbor.

since i want to stroll around our new neighborhood, i asked for a permission to my parents that i'll just walk outside.

while i was walking, a guy has passed by and walked in the house in front of ours. i was about to ignore it but seeing that it was park jimin, i quickly shouted his name excitingly.

he turned as he looked at me. and i waved my hand as i mouth the words "we're neighbors". this was pretty much of a great coincidence, i didn't see that coming.

and of course, he ignored me and went inside his home. why is he ignoring me again? i sighed on confusion.

***

it's monday and i saw jimin walk outside of his house. i approached him but he just ignored me, i didn't mind at all.

"you're walking from here to school?" i asked and he just nodded, "okay, can i walk with you then? this is a good exercise too."

he stopped walking and faced me, "thank you for the other day but it would be better if you're not talking to a 'silent freak' like me." then he continues walking.

"i'm sorry. i just thought it would be nice to a have neighbor who's also my classmate. i'll go now. have a good day!"

i took the bus and reached the school. the distance from my house up to here is not that bad but i'm kinda lazy at walking so i just took the bus.


i bought a bottled coffee outside the school and chatted with some friends from the other class before entering the my classroom, not knowing that jimin was behind me, also entering the room at the same time. some of our classmates are looking at us. while jihye, came towards me and whispers, "are you really friends now? what's going on?" she giggles.

"nah, nothing new."

"good morning, eunjung!" one of our classmates, hoseok, greeted.

"good morning, hoseok." i replied, smiling.

hoseok's really a nice person. he always smiles, to be honest, i never saw him frowning, as in. he's so positive that everyone likes him and his friendly attitude. we both clicked to each other easily.

i look at jimin who's keeping his face straight then i whispered, "by the way, you look really good today." he looked at me and quickly bowed his head shyly. he's shy with compliments, and that's cute.

"psst, eunjung!" i looked at the seat behind me then there's hoseok, calling my name. i mouthed, "what" since our teacher's busy discussing the lesson.

"let's go out later after class?" he asked with his low-tone voice.

"sure." he put his thumbs up then i focused again on our lesson. on the other side, i can feel that jimin's looking at me so i checked if he really is.

seeing him looking at me made me gulp, "yeah?" i tried to act cool.

he just looked back again to the teacher. gladly, classes ended early and i can finally have some freedom now.


"eunjung, see you tomorrow! enjoy your date with hoseok!" jihye shouted as she left the room. geez, she already knows i'll go with hoseok. even though jihye already left, i replied back, "it's not a date, you dummy!"

"so let's go now?" hoseok asked, offering his hand and i gladly accepted it as we both left the classroom.

"let's go there!" i pointed out an ice cream parlor outside the school, he nodded.

but before we completely walk inside the ice cream parlor, i saw jimin with that weird look again. i wonder what does that mean. he's so unpredictable.
