Jaehyun and Jungwoo became neighbors and met by chance. Stolen kisses. Holding hands. Mixed with a lot of sexual tension. But there's a catch! Jungwoo is the son of the Great Moon God.
A story about love, family and friendship that led in a chaotic...
I woke up with a start . I rub my eyes as it adjust to the dimness of the room. It feels like it's mid afternoon already. I've been lethargic for almost two days now, it seems my body still needs time to get use to the energy here in the mortal world.
"Ugh..." My body is sore from sleeping so much. I got out of bed and walk towards the full length mirror in the room.
"Not bad.." as I look myself over. Despite the darkness in the room, I can still see myself clearly, as if I'm under the full moon glow. Nothing changed, apart from my short blonde hair. I stretch a bit, debating if I should go downstairs when I heard someone moving in the house.
"Strange. Mr. Kim usually don't make a noise." I thought to myself, curious who's the person downstairs is. I check myself once again in the mirror before leaving the bedroom .
The scene downstairs is unfamiliar to me. A man, illuminated by the rays of the setting sun, standing in front of the "cooler box", shirtless while drinking a glass of water.
Despite the shock registered on both of our faces when he finally notice me, I took a mental note of his perfect physical features, his dark hair, chiseled jaw line, clear white skin, six packed abs, toned muscles with a bonus of glistening sweat. Manly or Handsome. He is both!
"Hi..." he said in his deep warm voice.
"Hi..." I said in a small voice. Kinda panicking, since it's my first human encounter.
"I'm Jeong Jaehyun, your next door neighbor. Mr. Kim asked me to take care of the garden."
"Ohh..." I responded, shortly.
"You must be his nephew?" he added.
"Nephew?" I asked back, confuse.
"Uh... like his relative? or something...." he trailed off, confuse with the situation.
"Ah! Yeah. I am. I mean. I am Jungwoo." I said quickly, avoiding his gaze.
"Nice.." he said while setting down the glass he's been holding. He looked at me and walked towards me while extending his hand.
"Nice meeting you, I mean."
I was confuse for a nano second. Is this what they call a handshake?
With no hesitation, I firmly grab his hand and shake it vigorously before letting go.
"Woah. Easy there." he said, smiling. Still maintaining a close distance to me.
"Oh! I don't know if Mr. Kim told you already, but I'll be your companion for the next few weeks." he said, while studying my face.
"Com...companion?" I stutter, as I realize his distance to me. Making me notice his scent. Peach. What a sweet scent for a man. I suddenly feel I'm blushing. Gosh!
"Yeah!" he responded. He looked at the wall clock and swear. Only then did he move away from me.
"I need to finish my work at the garden, I'll get inside and prepare dinner for you in a bit." he said, while grabbing his shirt at the back of the dining chair.
"O..Okay..." I said, dumbfounded. This is escalating too quickly! I've only been in the mortal world for two days. TWO FREAKING DAYS! and then I woke up and learned that Mr. Kim already assigned me a consort ?!
Afraid I might faint on the spot, I went to the living room and lay down on the sofa. Relax. Relax.
"Is this the reason why Father decided to give me 100 days to spend here?" I thought to myself.
"To find me a consort? Does he want me out of the palace that much?" I lay there thinking until I feel my eyelids getting heavy again.
"Jungwoo...."
"It's time for dinner...."
I smiled and went closer to the warm voice that I heard in my dream, like a puppy being called to.
"Jungwoo...." he said again, this time while shaking me gently.
I woke up suddenly, since I felt a hand shake my waist gently. When I look up, I see a familiar face 4 inches away from me. Turns out, I have wrapped my arms around his neck while he's trying to wake me up.
"Ah! I'm sorry!" I said while releasing my arms around his neck.
"It's okay." he said, a small smile playing on his lips.
"I've been calling you several times but you're not responding. I guess you're a deep sleeper?"
"I don't know. No one really bothers me when I'm sleeping."
"Oh... well, I made dinner. Spaghetti, if you don't mind." he said, while he straighten up and walk towards the kitchen.
I counted up to ten, to fix my shirt before I stood up and head towards the kitchen, where I was greeted by the smell of spaghetti with cheese. I like cheese. I sat down in front of him with a smile on my face.
"Dig in. It's one of my best dish."
"Thank you." I said, as I start to eat. Who would have thought I'll be tasting human food! I've seen people eat this countless of times but I didn't know how it would taste like. Now, I understand why people eat. It's for the taste. The taste is to die for. We ate in silence as we stuff our mouth with food.
He watch me as I finish the food on my plate before he stood up and open the "cooler box". He came back to the table with something on his hands.
"Here. We don't have soda at home. So I brought this instead." he said while giving the thing to me.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Banana Milk. You'll like it." he said, looking at me with a smile on his lips.
