breathe in, it's alive

jeongguk groaned as his siren of an alarm started going off. 'i gotta get rid of that alarm' gguk thought. he really didn't need an alarm for he didn't have anywhere to be at the crack of dawn. nevertheless he still got up and took his daily shower and then made his morning tea.

he walked out onto his balcony to sit for it had become a thing he did daily. he was enjoying his quiet morning until he heard an obnoxious knock on his door, as if the person knocking was purposely trying to tick him off. gguk groaned but still got up to open the door. 'who the hell could that be' gguk thought. he honestly had no friends or family.

he opened his door only to slam it shut after seeing his unwanted visitor. it was his neighbor park jimin; a small boy who always had a goofy grin on his face. gguk had met the kid once , the day he moved in. that was two years before, the small boy had always tried to befriend jeongguk but it was to no avail. gguk had nothing against the kid but after being alone for nearly all of his life he'd started liking not having anyone who cared for him or even just wanted to talk.

even after getting gguk's door slammed in his face , jimin still kept knocking. jimin had always wanted to be friends with gguk for he intrigued him and also because he was the only other person younger than 60 living in their apartment complex. jimin had actually baked some cookies for his coworkers but saved some for his stubborn neighbor that he hadn't seen in two years.

after jimin knocking for five minutes , gguk opened the door again. "what do you want?" gguk mumbled rather angrily. "i baked some cookies for you jeongguk! also it's been two years since i last saw you, my offer for being friends still stands gguk!" jimin said with his signature crescent smile.

"and i'm still not looking for a friend" gguk said and went to slam the door again but jimin caught it before he could. "please jeongguk , you're the only person in our complex that's not practically on their deathbed already, i just want to be friends. even just acquaintances." "as if i'm not on my deathbed as well" gguk muttered under his breath.

"look jimin , i don't want a friend, i'll take your cookies so you finally leave and don't break my door down." for jimin , gguk accepting his cookies was more than he could ask for.
