Thin Walls

Chapter 4

Days, followed by weeks, then eventually a month and a bit, passed by until Tae and Jungkook actually spoke to each other for the second time. 

In that time, Jungkook made sure to bring home different girls every other night in hopes of pissing off his neighbour, and it was working but he still wasn't getting the reaction he wanted out of the male living next door. 

In this month he hadn't even learned the males name or seen how he looks, which didn't really bother him but he expected to at least see the guy knocking at his door telling him to shut up, but it never happened.

These were all things Tae wanted to do, but he tried to convince himself that he could handle this, that it was okay because when he gets a partner, male or female, he knows the screaming won't be coming from next door anymore. 

But that's bullshit, and Tae knows it. Knows that he's not that type of person and knows that he definitely can't handle this, but still, he hasn't said anything. 

Instead he came up with a plan. He worked out the times of the day his neighbour is home, based on noises he can hear through the walls, and plans his sleeping schedule accordingly. Considering he's on break, he doesn't have much to do so sleeping during the day and being up all night isn't too bad, but he definitely does treasure those nights where the male chooses to be alone instead of having company. 

But alas, those nights only come around thrice every week, four if he's lucky. 

Tae doesn't even know what he's going to do when work starts again, he has a few weeks left and he doesn't exactly want to deal with his horny ass neighbour when he has to work a regular 9 to 5, which he's definitely not looking forward to going back to.

He still questions why the company gave him a two month break, but he's not complaining. It just would've been nicer if he had someone to spend it with or money to go somewhere, but that all went into his apartment.

So his days are limited to couch dates with his favourite body pillow and snacks while watching K-Drama after K-Drama, or if he's lucky Jin won't be busy working or with Namjoon and they can do something together. 

It's not that he doesn't have other friends, it's just that they're not all in Seoul. His hyung, Hoseok, and his fiancé, Jimin, moved to Florida for what Hoseok likes to call a 'fresh start' and from what Tae's seen so far, they look happy and healthy and he hopes to visit them soon. As for his other friends, well he's got a couple from high school and around the office but it's just not the same friendship like him and Jin, or Hoseok. 

While Tae was in the middle of one of his couch dates, it just so happened that Jin texted him telling him he'd be over later to cook dinner. This immediately got Tae up on his feet, organising his apartment so that it looks presentable for his neat freak hyung. 

Which seemed to be enough because when Jin got there, Tae got no complaints about things laying around, just praises for keeping it clean. 

"So how was work today hyung?" Tae asked while following the slightly taller male into the kitchen, who was carrying bags of ingredients to make supper. 

"We met the new general manager today, real eye candy with those muscular arms, gentle eyes and thick thighs..." Tae snapped his fingers in front of Jin's face, taking him out of his daydream. "You shouldn't be fantasising about other guys if you're with someone hyung." Tae pointed his stern gaze at Jin. 

"Me? With someone? If Namjoon would just make it official then yeah I'd be with someone, but as of right now, I'm still single." Tae stared wide eyes at his hyung, not believing how ridiculous he's being when he practically calls Namjoon "his", refers to him as "baby" and one or twice has called him his "boyfriend". "Alright whatever you say Jinnie," but who was Tae to say anything about that.
