the boy next door • donghan

soo this would be kind of like a chapter where eunbin has flashbacks about the time she spent with donghan, and how her feelings would change over time. not much cute moments here but still i guess it will help with the development of the storyyyy

so i had this short phase whereby i felt nervous, loss for words, whenever i faced donghan. i tried to act as if his small gestures like placing his arm around my neck and or nudging my arm didn't affect me. it was hard, but i really hope he didn't notice my change in behaviour. i had thought that this warm fuzzy feeling i have in my heart was a phase of falling in love. falling in love with kim donghan. my heart would speed up at that thought as i quickly brush it off my mind.

however, as time passed, that feeling gradually faded away. i became more comfortable around him, my heart wouldn't beat that quickly when i was around him anymore. i got back to being annoyed at him when he disturbed me, i would harshly brush his arm off my shoulder when he puts his arm around me, and i started joking with him about things, not caring much about my image in front of him anymore.

we didn't talk or hang out much in school because i had my circle of friends and he had his. his circle of friends were the more popular guys in school which i don't really know, and he was hanging out with them all the time that i didn't want to approach him when he was with his friends.

but he would wait for me after school most of time so we could go home together. we also studied together frequently at mine and his place alternatively. well, neither of us are extremely hard-working students so we would normally study for a bit and spend the rest of the time watching tv shows, playing card games or just snacking on junk food and instant noodles together. i wouldn't lie that i had emjoyed his company.

we seemed to have gotten way closer as friends, but nowhere near being lovers. there were rumours spreading within our that donghan and i were dating. but i would casually brush those rumours off, of course i would feel a little nervous when i do that, but really, i don't think donghan and i would be anything more than friends or next door neighbours.
