chapter 1

"9 weeks? why the fuck does it take 9 weeks for a bed to be shipped?"

taehyung was scrolling down the ikea website looking for a new bed. he had just moved into his new apartment. literally. its only been two hours since he had arrived and that's when he finally realized that he didn't have a bed to sleep in.

"Okay maybe I should have bought one earlier but I didn't think it would take so many weeks to arrive, it's just a bed"

not having another choice, taehyung bought the bed and decided to wait 9 weeks for it to arrive. at least he had a sleeping pad so the floor wouldn't be too hard.

afterwards, he went down to his car to get the remaining things he had brought from his last apartment.

with five big, heavy boxes taehyung made his way to the apartment again. it was on the fifth floor and the house didn't have an elevator, so there was no way he would walk these stairs twice.

unfortunately, the boxes were covering his view so he really prayed to not miss a step on the stairs or accidentally walk into someone.

of course, that's exactly what happened. 

while taehyung was going up the stairs, another person came the other way in his direction and bumped directly into him, causing the boxes to fall and him hitting his head on one of them.

"oh shit, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you, are you okay?" taehyung asked worried, not wanting his neighbor he hadn't even met yet to already hate him.

"yes ehm... I'm fine. I guess I shouldn't be on my phone while walking down the stairs" the other person laughed.

"what are you doing?"

wasn't it obvious?

"well, I just moved in and I was getting my things into the apartment. it's on the fifth floor so I didn't want to go up twice you know" taehyung explained. he was looking down a bit embarrassed after noticing how good looking the guy was. 

not that he was gay or anything. he just noticed it.

"Oh I can help you with that" 

"no no its fine I don't wanna bother you, you were going somewhere I can just-"

before taehyung could even finish his sentence, the other male had already picked up three of the boxes and made his way to the fifth floor.

taehyung took the other ones and followed right after him.

as they arrived, taehyung opened the door to the apartment and put the boxes on the floor.

"you can just leave them here" he pointed to the floor next to the other boxes, "thank you for helping me"

"you don't need to thank me" the other guy smiled, "I'm jeon jungkook by the way, and I live in the apartment below"

"Oh right I forgot to introduce myself, I'm kim taehyung"
