Noisy Neighbours | Taekook

Will You Let Me?

The moment Taehyung sighed and took a step back from his completed painting, there was a knock on the door. 

He frowned, looking up at the clock in this living room to check the time.

3.17 am.

Who the fuck is here at this time?

Taehyung shook his head before carefully making his way towards the door. He unlocked it and slowly opened, only to come face to face with nobody at all. Surprised, he ran a hand through his hair, wondering if he imagined the knock.

He raised a brow, about to close the door when he noticed a small lunch box kept on the doormat. He tilted his head to a side, bending down to pick it up. A small note was attached on the lid which he pulled off and read, expression softening.

Dear Neighbour,
I know you've been working on a project. Well, I overheard because the walls are thin [please don't be mad at me :( ]
Soooo, I made some sandwiches for you since I expect you must be hungry.
And hey, you're an excellent artist. There's some sort of magic in your craft which is why I'm sure not only will you get a good grade, but you'll go places with your talent.

Eat well, Sugar
~ Jeon

A small smile made its way delicately as Taehyung shook his head, slipping the note in his jeans' back pocket. Indeed, he was hungry and the gesture by his neighbour was really thoughtful. Taehyung kept in mind to thank him later.

The fact that Jeongguk stayed up this late just to make food for the boy made his heart melt. He couldn't wait, the mouth-watering smell of the grill chicken sandwiched the moment he opened the lid of the lunchbox made his stomach growl.

He started hogging on the food as he walked back inside, without caring to close the door. The chicken was cooked perfectly, cheese blending with it perfectly. Taehyung was impressed by his neighbour's cooking.

He was onto the third and last sandwich when he started coughing a little, his throat clenching painfully. He made his way to the kitchen, fumbling with the cap of a bottle before unscrewing it and taking long sips. He was having difficulty in breathing by that time.

But the pain just got worse and it didn't take him long to put two and two together.

With shaking hands and violent coughing, he grabbed the remaining half of the sandwich, ripping the slices of bread apart before his eyes widened at the contents. Chicken, cheese. 

And Sesame seeds. He was highly allergic to sesame seeds.

The effect was instant and rapid after that. His head was spinning and breath coming in wheezes. His abdomen was screaming with pain, so was his head as black spots blinded his vision. Tears were running down his face constantly as he held onto his throbbing head.

With the greatest of difficulty, he ran towards his door but stumbled just before he reached it, falling hard to the ground. A painful whine escaped his lips but he didn't give up nonetheless. Dragging himself by the elbows, he crawled towards apartment number 31.

He barely had the energy, his palms hit the door softly but repeatedly. He tried to scream, call for his neighbour but his throat was clenching so much that no sound escaped his lips.

"Who's the hell is at this time - TAE OH MY GOD!"

Jeongguk open the door, standing in nothing but his sweatpants. The sight before him made his heart hurt. Taehyung looking up at him, face red as he wheezed, barely able to breathe. Though unaware of how his neighbour ended in such a situation, all the boy wanted was to protect Taehyung, unable to watch him in so much pain.
