When we got back, I walked to Taehyung's door with him when his mom opened the door.
"Areum!" She smiled, pulling me into a hug.
"Hi Mrs Kim" I replied politely.
"Mom how come you love her more than me?" Taehyung whined, pouting at his mother.
"Because she has manners and acts mature" she said, squishing his cheeks before walking down the hall to help the little kids take off their jackets. I took the opportunity to stick my tongue out at him, causing him to pout playfully.
"Eomma can Areum noona stay for dinner please" Jeonggyu asked, slipping off his hat.
"If she wants to, I would love to meet her mom" she said, looking over at me sweetly.
"I'll go ask" I said as she nodded. I made my way to the door and jogged over to my house, going inside to see my mom watching tv on the couch.
"Hey Areum, you okay?" She asked, looking quickly over at me.
"Yeah mom, have you made dinner?" I asked, propping down on the seat beside her.
"Not yet, why are you hungry?" She asked, pausing the tv.
"No I was thinking we could go to Mrs Kim's house to stay for dinner?" I asked, moving the blanket to cover my feet.
"Mrs Kim?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Our neighbour?" I replied, imitating her confused expression.
"Ohhh the new family next door" she said, remembering seeing their family moving in.
"What time?" She asked, lifting the blanket up.
"Now" I answered, standing up.
"Give me 5 minutes" she said before running to her room, freshening up a bit. I took my phone out and began typing a message to Taehyung.

[seen 5:25pm]

I clicked the phone off before going to my room to retrieve the book. It was laying half open on the last page I was working on, a pencil lying on top of it. The drawing I had most recently finished was the one of Taehyung and the flower, but it was zoomed in on his hands. I had seen his fingers wrapped around the stem of the flower and it had flipped a switch in my brain, inspiring me to draw it. I closed the book and slipped it into my bag along with my phone.

A few moments later my mom came out of her bedroom, her hair brushed through and in new set of clothes. We both walked over to the door, ringing the doorbell and waiting for it to open. Mrs Kim answered and welcomed us in, signalling to me that Taehyung was upstairs as she walked into the living room with my mom. I jogged up the stairs, turning into the room I remembered as Taehyung's. I knocked on the door, waiting for him to let me in. The door opened and he looked down at me before smirking, noticing the book sticking out of my bag.
"You brought it" he smiled, before moving to the side slightly allowing me space to walk in.
He was wearing a black tshirt with black jeans, his hair tousled and slightly wavy.
"Well you said to" I replied nonchalantly, looking around his room.

(A/N: this is Taehyungs bedroom, the window with the seat being the one Areum can see from her own window)

I looked over to the window seat underneath the small white window. I walked over to it and sat down looking out the glass to my own window.
"It looks so weird from here" I commented, thinking about how he sees my room. I could faintly see the bed below the window and the door, my fairy lights glowing in the room.
"Does it?" He asked, sitting down beside me and looking out in the same direction.
"Your room looks really pretty with the shiny thingys" he said, focused on the lights draped around the ceiling.
"The fairy lights?" I asked, smiling slightly at his description.
"Yeah those" he said, his eyes drifting down to my bag.
"Can I see the book?" He asked reaching a hand to the bag resting by my ankles. I quickly gripped his wrist, stopping it from moving any closer.
"Can you at least show me the drawing of me?" He asked, moving his hand away gently. I rolled my eyes and pulled it out reluctantly. My fingers flicked through the pages until I landed on the one of him, swivelling it around so he could see.
"Wahh~" he hummed, looking at the paper with wide eyes. I laughed and pulled out my phone, scrolling through my feed.
"Areum?" He said, looking at me.
"Yeah?" I responded looking up at him.
"You're really good, I mean really good" he complimented, looking back down at the page.
"Thank you" I said, smiling slightly at the compliment.
"Can I look at the others please?" He asked hopefully, making a puppy face. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Fine" I said, lifting my phone back up to my face. His expression lit up as he begun to flip through the pages.
"Kids dinner!" A voice shouted from downstairs causing me and Taehyung to look in the direction of the door.

After we ate both our moms began talking while me and Taehyung retreated upstairs back to his room.
"I might go back now" I asked looking at the time that read 9:46pm.
"Can I come?" He asked handing my notebook to me.
"Why?" I said, taking the book from his hands.
"I'll be bored otherwise, I like watching you draw anyway" He said, grabbing a hoodie and pulling it over his chest.
"Fine" I agreed, slinging my bag over my shoulder. We both padded downstairs to the living room where our moms sat, talking together and laughing.
"Hey mom we're just going back to ours" I said, smiling at both of them.
"Okay love just leave the door unlocked please" she said, dismissing us both and continuing her conversation. We both exited the house and walked over to mine, unlocking the door.
