My Neighbor VIXX

Chapter 3

Early the next day I was woken up by Nabi who was incessantly licking my face.

"Alright Nabi I'm up. Enough with the licking already." I said as I tried to hide my face from her. She soon gave up and wonder off to find Saja.

Ugh I'm really not a morning person if it weren't for Nabi I probably wouldn't have woken up 'til 1 pm. Hmmm it sounds like the shower is on, it's probably just the next door neighbors. Man must suck living in a place with such thin walls but she sure does have a great view of the city. As I got up I noticed I was covered with a blanket.

"Wait a second where did this blanket come from? I don't remember covering myself with it last night."

Before I could give it any more thought my phone began to ring. I'm in no mood to talk right now even if it is 9 am. I sluggishly got up and went to search for my phone. It was still ringing when I got it out of my bag, which was with the rest of my luggage.

"Hello?" I answered groggily.

"Ee! Good morning. So how was your first day? Did you make any new friends?" SooZee asked excitedly. If she only knew what I had in store for her when she got back.

"SooZee you're so dead." I said through gritted teeth.

"Why? What did I do?" SooZee asked with fake innocence .

"What the heck! Why didn't you tell me about them? I looked like a complete idiot in front of them. Oh God just remembering what happened yesterday makes feel embarrassed all over again!" I shouted to her.

"Calm down Eliza. Stop making such a big deal over something that most likely was nothing. She said as if she were speaking to a child.

"Easy for you to say you weren't there. They probably think I'm a freak." I stated.

"Okay Ee, first of all you're right I wasn't there. Secondly though you're wrong about them thinking you're a freak." SooZee said.

"How would you know?" I asked.

"That's simple my dear, I spoke with HaekYeon." she stated casually.

"Wait what!" I said in disbelief.

"I said I spoke with HaekYeon." she repeated.

"No, I heard you the first time. I'm just trying to understand what you meant by that." I said puzzled. "So, what did he say?" I asked.

"Ooooh are you interested in HaekYeon?" SooZee asked teasingly.

"Shut up! Don't say such things. I'm just curious what he said about me because I know it can't be anything good." I tried to say without making it sound like I was interested.

"Suuuuuuure I believe you." she said in the most sarcastic way possible.

"I'm serious SooZee." I said.

"Okay, fine. Your loss 'cause he is such a nice guy." she explained.

I sighed tiredly, "I know he is because he and some of his friends helped me carry my stuff."

"Awww, how cute. I bet you felt like a princess. Well last night I wanted to see how things were going so I called you. But you didn't answer so I ended up calling HaekYeon instead. He said he was happy to have finally met you and he thought you were much cooler and cuter in person. He also said he was a bit worried that you might be getting sick and that I should have taken better care of you. But he said not to worry about it because he and the boys were going to look after you. Isn't that so sweet of them?" SooZee said happily.

"SooZee I don't care. You promised me it was going stress free job. And having to talk to them is NOT stress free." I stated.

"Ee I've had enough of your little antisocial ways. It's about time you made new friends, I don't see what so stressful about these guys."SooZee defended.

"Well how about the fact that they're boys, who look like models might I add! I can barely talk to any guy let alone a good looking one. Also the fact that they seem to know more about me than they should! What have you been saying about me? Seriously a little heads up would have been nice."

"Ahah! So you do you find them attractive!" she exclaimed.

"I didn't say that! I said..."

"Tomato, tomatoe. What's important is that you are making new friends yay!" she interrupted."Well doll face I'd love to chat some more but my honey is waiting. So be a good girl and behave yourself and... hm why do I have a feeling like I'm forgetting to tell you something. Well whatever it is it will have to wait. Tell my babies that mommy loves them and tell the boys they better do what I told them ok! Love you, bye." she sang.

"Wait!" Too late she already hung up. Damn it I hate how she does that.

Right when I got off the phone with SooZee I noticed that I didn't hear the water running anymore. I guess the neighbor is done with their shower. Speaking of showers, I'm need one. I always feel better after one. But first I should feed the animals. I don't want them tearing up the place in search for breakfast while I'm in the shower. I got up and headed towards the kitchen where I found Nabi and Saja already eating.

Okay now this is getting a little weird either they're eating their leftovers from yesterday or I slept-fed them. And I have a really bad feeling that neither possibilities are correct because I could hear some one singing in the bathroom(so it wasn't the neighbor showering.) Well however he was he had a lovely voice.No Eliza, focus. Okay if horror movies taught me anything is to never say "Hello, is somebody there?" And to find a weapon to fight off the intruder if for some reason I can't make a run for it. Well this frying pan will have to do(courtesy of Tangled).

"Nabi, Saja come here." I whispered urgently as tried to make my way to the door.

Nabi must have thought I was playing a game with her because she began to bark and wag her tail. "Shhhhhhhhh Nabi What are you trying to do, get us killed." I didn't know what was worse Nabi's barking or Saja not caring because he was heading straight for the bathroom. And to make matters worse he began to scratch at the door.

"19 years...what a short life it was." I cried to myself.

SooZee will kill me if I let her babies die. "Okay change of plans I'll stall the intruder while you go get help. Okay girl?" How low have I sunk that I have to rely on a dog? I am a sad creature indeed.

"Here goes nothing." I opened the door to allow for their escape.

I must have a guardian angel because as I was getting myself ready to attack; Nabi ran straight to the boys door and began scratching and barking at it.

"Thank you Nabi I won't forget you." I whispered to myself.

Right then the bathroom door open and before I could chicken out I charged at the intruder. He looked up from towel drying his hair just in time to see me coming at him. He looked surprised for a second but that quickly changed when I saw something flash in his eyes. And before I knew it he grabbed me by my wrist and not letting it go he swung me so my back hit the wall. Just as quickly he pinned my hands against the wall. His face was just mere inches away from mine. I was so scared but that didn't stop me from noticing that he was actually very handsome. He had a very light complexion and dark intense eyes. His dark black hair was still wet and it was barely covering his eyes. I seriously couldn't stop staring at him. I felt like a deer caught in head lights, all vulnerable and weak.

I don't know if I was seeing things because of a lack of oxygen to my brain (which made no sense because my heart was beating so fast so some of it had to be going there). But for a moment I could swear I saw his gaze wander towards my lips before coming back to my eyes. Suddenly I could feel my face turning red as I tried to turn face away from him. But that did no good because now I could feel his breath tickle my cheek. I don't know how long we stood in that position because it felt like time stopped. But it must have been just seconds because the pan finally stopped clattering.

I was so shocked that I hadn't seen when some one came in. "TaekWoon what are you doing?"

Right when he heard those words he let go of me and turned to face the person who spoke. Since his grip was the only reason I was even standing, my body crumble to the floor.

"Eliza!" was the last thing I heard before everything went dark.
