i didn't woke up till 11 am since it's a weekend. i forcedly changed into my clothes and went outside my room. i went down the creaky stairs and i could hear the light sound of rain dropping down.
it was one cozy day. i went to the kitchen to get some frosted flakes cereal and poured it into the small bowl. i opened the fridge and got some milk, poured a balancing amount of it in the bowl with the cereal.

i took my brunch in the living room and turned on the tv while doing so. i went to my Netflix account and watched some shows.

currently watching → Brooklyn 99

this sit-com was one of my fav shows all year because it was pretty hilarious to watch and it had references to other movies and celebs. im currently on s3 and i hope there'd be more seasons to come.

after a while, i turned off the tv and placed my bowl on the sink and left it there.

then, the rain slowed down a bit and i went outside the door touching the little droplets of rain . i smiled while the droplets rained down on my hair. i did this alot when i was little since i lived in my grandma's house till i was 16. she would let me do this alot without any worry cause we lived in a pretty secluded neighborhood . she was a very caring and lovable person. she would do things for others before herself and that's what i most loved about her. my parents couldn't spend that much time together with me because they had alot of work on their hands or something. But, i didn't think that was the reason.

then , i saw a middle aged couple waving at me.
they walked their way towards my gate and the man said
" hey kid! you got a new neighbor living in beside you on your right. " he said.

" ohh, do you happen to know who he or she is? "
i asked with curiosity.
the man nodded and said " he's my nephew and he's very messy." he chuckled

"oh? okay. " i said

" i'll try to greet my new neighbor I guess. " i said
" alright well, we'll be going now! " the man said and took his wife with him.

i went back to my house and took out my phone, scrolling through nct's twitter account. jaehyun took a selca and it looked amazing. after scrolling for 2 minutes i thought about it.

huh. who could be my new neighbor?

while i was thinking , suddenly a truck pulled out outside the house beside me and i saw a familiar face outside the trucks window.

the familiar face opened the truck door and helped the worker bring his things in his own home. wow , he has alot of things. " hey thanks alot! ill be bringing my things in now. you don't need to work yourself over this! i got this! " the boy said with a smile

the worker was probably old like in his 50's and the worker thanked the boy. i took my slippers outside and walked towards my new neighbor.

" hello neighbor- " i cut
" what the hell are you doing here?" i asked with a sad look.
leaving the boy laughing loudly.

" you knew i lived here? " i asked having my arms crossed.

the boy spoke and said " nah, i just had to move out and have my own set of privacy.
” oh okay. why so sudden though? ” i asked with concern. ”i actually don't know, i just really wanted to stop being in control of by someone you know? he said while pointing his hands.
” i get that ” while nodding.
" it's ok at least we'll get to be neighbors now!" he said with a happy look on his face. ”and we can get to know each other better!” jaemin said

i nodded slowly.

" anyways, do you need any help in bringing your stuff? " i asked
the boy diverted his attention and nodded
" you can take those boxes over there in the left while i get the ones in the right ok? " he said

while he walked just outside the door, he bowed and let me in first. as i walked in i said; "woah, your house is way bigger and spacious than mine dude" i looked in awe
" do you come from a wealthy family?" i asked.
" well yes and no. my father only gets the money from his brother. i picked this place cause i don't want to be around them and because of the money he uses. my father just uses it on unnecessary things." he said with a crack in his voice.

" oh. okay " i deeply said while carrying one box at a time since it was heavy.

there was a short moment of silence around us.

then i suddenly stated
" your uncle just told me that you are one messy person just before you arrived. " he nodded and scratched the back of his neck saying ”yeah I guess, probably most of the time.” he chuckled.

after putting all the boxes in the particular place
i said " you should clean your place more often it's way better. I said.
he chuckled and said " ill take that as a new years resolution!" he exclaimed

" great,i gotta head back to my house neighbor" i said while heading out the door.
"oh alright, enjoy your night.” he said with a half smile

we waved at each other and i opened the door and walked on the sidewalk, heading to my house next door.

as i went inside, i quickly locked the door and walked towards the kitchen. i headed to the fridge to see what I'd have for dinner but all i had were juice box’s and eggs.

7 pm

for dinner, i downloaded app called 'eatbox'. you could just order from anyone selling the dishes they make and i came upon a resto called " zeusies diner ".
a odd name for a resto so i ordered from it and waited for like 15 min till the order got here since it was pretty near from my neighborhood.
i scrolled down on the menu and saw a pretty decent variety of foods ranging from american to korean.

i ordered:

snoopy cookies

carbonara pasta

15 minutes later>>

while i was laying down on my beanbag, playing on my phone, i heard the sound of a motorcycle stopping in front of my gate and the bell door rang.

i quickly walked towards the door and opened it. my tastesbuds filling with excitement, I took my slippers,went outside and opened the gate.
