NEIGHBOUR || BAEJIN

8 : TWILIGHT

"Ouch! Don't put it there!!" Jinyoung whines, shaking his body while pain gushes into his body because of the bruises.

"Just bear with it. You're a man, right?!" I tease him. "That's the gift if you still want to play jump rope here."

"I know.. But did you know them? The boys?" He asks me.

"They're at the same school as mine since elementary school. But they became so mischievous and rebel against something. So, I take my action to leave them." I explain to him, gaining an 'O' reaction.

"But you have no connection with them anymore right?"

"They once always helped me living here. I don't know why they changed to become that bad." I sighed, cleaning of the blood on his lips.

His beautiful lips graze on the cotton ball that I dipped in alcohol. Both of us are looking at each other, awkwardly.

"Urm.. Do you want some black tea? Tea is great for calming." I break the awkwardness with building other conversation.

"Okay. Let me see you doing it." He follows me to the small kitchen of my house.

"Don't! I don't like someone watching me doing stuffs."

He ignores my words and sitting on the dining chair, looking at me. I just sigh and take the black tea on the upper cabinet. I take a small stool to reach out the tea box.

Suddenly, Jinyoung carries me in bridal style and whispers, "I can be your stool. Let me piggyback you."

"Put me down! I don't want!" I hit his chest slowly.

"I don't want to.." His face right in front of mine, smiling.

"Bae Jinyoung! I'll make sure to sue you today! For three things — Noise, harassment and trying to make a bad thing to underaged girl." I warn him.

"Ahaha let's see. You only have like a few days more." He teases, putting me down on the floor.

"Okay. You already looked fine. Can't you just get back to your house?"

"No tea? You said it..."

"No no no.. I already remembered that it have finished yesterday. So, goodbye!" I push him to the door.

He stands steadily, making me hard to push him because of his muscular legs especially thigh. "Just go home! I just gave you some treatment." I whined.

He shows his tongue and mocking me. "I don't want to leave this beauty alone. And I don't want to get back to the house that full with boys."

"You only lived with your friends? In that huge mansion?" I'm shocked.

"Why? Jealous?" He walks back to the kitchen, rummaging through my fridge without my permission.

"Stop! Just go back home!" I shriek. "If not, I'll tell the ahjumma that lives next to me."

"Go tell her, I don't mind." He smirks. "She already left her house to go grocery shopping."

"Bae Jinyoung! Your house is huge and have everything right? So just eat there instead." I try to make him get back home but he already wanders around the house.

"Ouh? This must be your grandma. She looks so beautiful but why the picture looks like it being tore up?" He reaches out a frame in room.

I quickly snatch it from him, hiding it. "Don't look at anything please."

"Did you cut off ties with your parents?" He ask.

"Please stop asking me about them!" I raise up my voice without realizing. "Please go back home. Nothing to know about me."

"Y/N.. Is this the facts that Jihoon hyung knew that I didn't?" His hands catches my arms, shaking my body. "About your parents.."

"Is it wrong? I know him.."

"How can you trust him 100%?!" He shouts. "Only because of his cute face you think he is kind?"

"Jinyoung, why every time you said something about Jihoon sunbae you became mad?" I ask him, full of curiosity.

He just bites his lips, walking away from my room. I stop his footsteps from walking further before getting the answer to my question. "Are... Are you jealous?"

He stays silent, sealing his mouth shut. His face turns gloomy and the smile that built faded away. "Jinyoung shii.. You are jealous right?" I repeat the question.

He pushes me to the wall right away. He traps my hands from free by intertwining his hands with mine. He grazes his lips on mine without any words.

What are you doing, Jinyoung??!
