Idol II | kim hana

neighbors

Jaehyuk stood in the doorway holding the package. He had least expected for Hana to scream in his face. God, no wonder she was known to have a power voice. His eardrums were ringing from her scream.

"Here."
He just placed the package in her hands before heading out.

Hana just stood therein disbelief. Choi Jaehyuk was her neighbor. Oh good god. When she thought she was done with the past relationships in her life, this man just had to arrive.

Why was this happening to her?

Jaehyuk rushes back to his apartment. He didn't want Hana to be his neighbor. It would lead to unwanted meetings with her. He must have been too caught up in his thoughts, that he didn't notice that he was standing in the doorway for awhile.

"Hyung did you give the package to our neighbor?"

His younger brother, Hyunjae, had chosen to move in with him since it was closer to school and he hadn't seen him in months since his summer break. They had discussed where Jaehyuk should buy a house and where his school was located. Jaehyuk had chosen this area due to that fact, he didn't expect to be suprised on the first day of living here.

Hyunjae had stared at his brother for a good six minutes as he stood in the doorway. Something so shocking must have happened for Jaehyuk to be acting that way.

"Our neighbor is Hana."

Hyunjae couldn't believe his ears. His best friend's sister had moved next door. Hyunjae just looked at his brother, it seemed like those two were fated to have a very complex relationship.

Jaehyuk just walked over to his study and shut the door.

Hyunjae sighed, he most definitely needed to talk with Minhyun. A lot of issues were going arise between those two.

Hana stood in the same place for a couple of minutes before reading the label on the package. It, in fact, was her package.

Crap.

Now she needed to deal with the man she least expected to as her neighbor.

It was safe to say that the two didn't sleep a wink that night.

In the early morning, Hana's manager came to her apartment. She had an early schedule. It was evident that Hana didn't get any sleep as she could be compared to a panda.

"What's with your eye bags? Did you sleep for a couple of hours?"

Hana didn't even want to get up from her bed. It was all Jaehyuk's fault that she wasn't able to get any kind of sleep. Although she was used to pulling all-nighters for her career, however she didn't want to waste four hours of sleep thinking about someone.

Her comeback stages were already over now, but she still had some photoshoots and interviews to do. She was even in the talks of acting in a drama that would air at the end of the year. BigHit has allowed for her to choose and even were taking her mental health into account.

Something that Hana felt wasn't so prioritized in her old company. Her assistant and manager were both busy. Her assistant was helping her with her work at her own business while her manager helped out her idol career.

Despite her busy schedule, Hana had made sure she regularly got a checkup. She was now just awaiting the results. There was only thing in that Hana was most worried about.

After finishing her schedule, she saw that her results had arrived.

She was so anxious about the results that she tore it open. However, her face darkened as she read the results.

It wasn't possible. She was still young. How could she accept those results.

It must be a lie.

Hana couldn't help but drink away her pain. She slowly walked over to Jaehyuk's apartment. He was the only man besides a family member that could understand her. She wanted his comfort since he was an old childhood friend.

Hana kept on ringing his doorbell until he answered.

In fact, no one was at his apartment. Hyunjae was staying over at Minhyun's, the Kim family home, while Jaehyuk was just leaving a business dinner. Jaehyuk arrived in front of his apartment to see Hana laying in front of his front door.

Jaehyuk sighed, "What am I going to do with you Joohyun?"

He firstly unlocked his door before picking Hana off the floor. She was so light as the kpop industry had weight expectations but Jaehyuk frowned at the thought of her doing extreme diets. He wanted her to be a health and happy version of herself.

Hana was been sober when Jaehyuk carried her in his arms into his apartment. But she felt ashamed at how he had found her and how she probably looked. Her face dug into the side of his neck.

Jaehyuk noticed that she was crying into the side of his neck. He had noticed that since he picked her up, she had been awake but he didn't want to say anything. She was being vulnerable and was hurt. He knew what had happened the past couple of months.

He walked over to his bedroom placing Hana down. As he turned away to sleep in the guest bedroom, Hana grabbed his arm.

"Jaehyuk, why does the world hate me?"

Jaehyuk noticed that her grip tightened. When he turned to face her, he met her tears. Jaehyuk didn't say anything before pulling Hana into his arms and laying down with her. Jaehyuk swore that he would find out what was wrong and what had hurt her.

"Everything will be okay Joohyun. Everything will be okay."

Your thoughts on this chapter?

How about the interactions between Hana and Jaehyuk?

Also Hyunjae is a character from my Maknae Book which is based around
the youngest Kim sibling, Kim Minhyun if you were wondering.

Also my heart goes out to Hana as those results are hard to accept.

Love you ❤️
