Late-Afternoon

Jeongguk's pen comes in contact with the pages of his book, writing away as the black ink marks the white pages of his book, his wrist rotating at the curves of each letter. He taps his foot while doing so, narrowing his eyebrows together in complete concentration on the work on the table in front of him.

He is sat on his desk in his room, studying like his mum told him to, studying like he is always forced to do.

The soft light pours through the only window in his room, that was in front of him, giving him a perfect view of his next door neighbor's house. Both Jeongguk's and his next door neighbor's house were in perfect height. The houses both had two story houses and both had windows, making it too easy to spy through the house next door's window that was across from Jeongguk's.

He takes a break from writing, dropping his pen and rotating his wrists due to the burning pain in the joints of his hand from constant writing without breaks.

Jeongguk drops his pen and leans back in his chair, closing his eyes and beginning to stretch out his long arms, producing a groaning sound while he stretched, the chair creaking as he leant back.

As he opens his eyes, a bright light shines into Jeongguk's fairly dark room, the bright orange light overtaking the soft light of the cloudy late afternoon.

The light was coming from the next door neighbour's bedroom, through the window.

Jeongguk squints his eyes, leaning into the light. As his eyes adjust to the brightness, he sees a figure in the window, walking around in the bedroom.

The figure was male, he looked like he was in his late teens/early twenties. He had striking soft, honey-coloured hair, wearing a pair of black, jeans that were ripped at the knees and a grey loose shirt, revealing parts of his shoulders and collarbones.

The male stands in front of a chest of drawers, grabbing the hem of his shirt and pulling it over his head, revealing the bare top half of his body, leaving him in only jeans. His light skin looked soft to touch and his stomach area had visible dents, making it look like he had been working out.

It wasn't right for Jeongguk to stare, but he was so dazed and caught in the moment he forgot his was even staring in the first place.

At that moment his nagging mum walks in, but that didn't stop Jeongguk from starring.

"Why did you stop? Get back to work. I know you are not finished." Jeongguk's mother barks, hovering over Jeongguk's shoulder and looking on the work he had been doing so far.

"Hey mum, do we have a new neighbour?" Jeongguk questions, completely ignoring what his mother had said beforehand.

Jeongguk's eyes scan the being in the window. He starts from his muscular thighs, up to his toned waist, then his chest, and then his doll-like face.

Jeongguk's eyes widen to see the individual he was currently checking out, was smirking back at him seductively. The twinkle in his eye looked slightly mysterious and flirty. He knew Jeongguk was watching him, and instead of panicking in embarrassment, he decided to smirk lustfully, which definitely made Jeongguk feel something new.

"You don't have time to be worrying about neighbours! Who cares?" Jeongguk's mother orders, grabbing both sides of the curtain in front of them and pulling them together, leaving them both in complete darkness.

A red streak of embarrassment flashes onto Jeongguk's cheeks as his mother switches on the lamp, picking up the pen and shoving it into Jeongguk's hand harshly.

"Now, get back to work." She finishes, leaving the room.

Jeongguk breathes out, still embarrassed by what just happened, he leans over his desk and takes a quick little peek through the window.

But no one was there. The light had been turned off and the room was empty.

It was at that moment, a question he had been asking himself for years of confusion, finally had been answered. Jeongguk finally knew his sexuality.
