The Boy Living Next Door - editing

"Good god Y/N. Should I find that guy who did that to you and jump kick his ass?"

"No Jungkook the police already arrested him for assault and copyright. But thanks anyways" I slightly smiled and took a sip of my tea. I just want to go home and sleep, maybe even want to forget about what happened today.

For the first time, I actually felt affection from him. His arms wrapped around me, I could hear the way his heartbeat beated. It felt warm, it felt warm to be in his arms.

I laid my head down on my arms that rested on the table. My eyes staring out in the back of the kitchen where Jimin was cooking. I'm lame for thinking that I could let these wanted feelings disappear because I know they can't. And I know that I hurt Jimin. I hurt him even though I told him that we should stay friends.

"Earth to Y/N?" Jungkook raises his eyebrow and rolls his eyes at me.

"I think I'm going to head home" I shot my head up and started getting my purse and phone.

"Are you sure? What if Jimin wants to see you?"

"He could always come over or call me. I'm leaving now. Later Kook, text me if anything" I walk out before waving goodbye to Donny and Jimin who were in the kitchen.

The hot air had brushed my face as I started walking to the apartment complex. There was men and women walking out in suits, probably working for Mr. Lee because some looked familiar.

Oh that's good, my coworkers live in the same apartment complex as me. Did you hear the sarcasm in that?

I walked in the elevator, hands on the pockets of the thick black material. My back was leaned against the reel. I couldn't stop thinking about him and it's little incident.

The door had finally opened at the third floor. The lights seemed to be always dimmed for some reason like I'm in a horror movie. Right when I get to my door my phone rings. I look at the bright screen revealing Mr. Lee's name.

This is great. Real great.

I answered while I tried to find my keys in my purse but I couldn't find it anywhere.

"Oh yes I'm fine don't worry about it. It's just a little cut" I said and tried looking in the slots of the purse but nothing.

Fuck.

The door next door opens and he walks out. A slight cold breeze hit my back through the thick fabric. We never even glanced once to each other. Maybe he wants to forget about to.

"Y/N are you okay?"

I forgot I was even on the phone and on the phone with Mr. Lee.

"Ah yeah sorry I'm okay" a loud 'clank' had hit my shoe. The keys just laying on top of my shoes as they fell from the pocket of my purse.

I picked it up and opened it, smelling of home sweet home.

"I will see you next week then" I quickly hung up and touched at the stinging on my face. I kicked off my shoes but a knock on the door made me stop a bit.

I was about to open it but his name had popped up as I held onto the doorknob.

"W-Who is it?" I asked.

"I just- can you open the door...?" His voice was quiet and low. His voice felt so close to me as if he was next to me. I was hesitant. Hesitant about opening this door because I might let him in again.

I slowly opened it, seeing his face only inches from mine. He was staring deeply at me. It had gone silent until he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me back inside my own apartment.

"What are you doing-"

"I understand now" he let's go of my arm and moves his hands to intertwine my fingers with his.

"U-understand what...?"

"I understand now Y/N. I realized that I'm a fucking asshole. That you really don't deserve me yet I want you all to myself" He brings me over to the couch, slightly pushing me down as he stands in front of me.

"I was being selfish. At first it was your body but then I realized, I finally realized, that you're the only girl who made me feel this way. You told me that I've never had a real relationship and you're right, I've never had. You've changed that for me" His fingers were still in between mine and I suddenly held on tighter.

"Taehyung-"

"Y/N I want you to hear me out tonight this time. I want you to know that you mean a lot to me and I don't want to lose you because I've lost you so many times already" His voice cracked on that last part. I could tell he was struggling, telling himself not to cry in front of me.

"Y/N I'm sorry for the things I've done to hurt you, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't reach your feelings sooner like when you told me yours. Like when you told me you loved me" there he went. The saltiness of his tears streamed out of his eyes.

Seeing this side of him made me want to know so much more about him. I could feel the hot tears forming as I watch him try to become strong each time he wiped them away.

"Kim Taehyung, I hate you" I ended up crying and getting up from the couch to lay my head on his chest. I could his body movement become a surprise.

"Hate me then" He simply says and pulls me in closer with his arms wrapped around my waist.

"I tried so fucking hard to keep these feelings away but I couldn't. I even thought that I could be with Jimin so I could keep my mind away from you but no" Stuttering most of that, I couldn't help but squeeze onto his shirt.

"Fuck I'm guilty for everything. I need you in my life. I feel like every night, day without seeing you drives me crazy and I know it doesn't look like it" droplets of his tears hit the back of my blouse and the sniffles from me was heard.

"I'm so sorry. Y/N, I really am and I fucking hate being without you, not being around because in my head im thinking you're with someone else"

"I couldn't even if I tried Taehyung" and here our story was a complicated one. We didn't even know when and how to start our lives with. But maybe now we know...?

"Y/N, I love you"
