crash at your place // taekook

1 - "hello stranger"

taehyung's

as soon as the request came out of my mouth i saw how his face turn into an expression that was telling me 'what are you talking about'. i want to hole myself up by my blankets and never talk to anyone else ever again. "i'm sorry, what?" he asked it this time but i can see he was trying not to laugh.

i know, i understand. i bet to myself i'd be laughing too if someone was asking me like that. i gulped and put both of my hands behind me, clasping them together. "u-uh, yeah. it's exactly how you heard it." i confirmed.

"so....you're going to stay, at my place?" he asked and i nodded, "without us knowing each other?" i mean yeah. i really don't know this dude, heck i haven't even came across him, even at the elevators or the stairs. i really haven't seen him before.

a grin broke out of his face as he leaned on the side, "are you sure about this mr...?" why is he grinning? "taehyung. kim taehyung." i continued. there, now you know my name. burn that into your mind because it's the name of someone who fell for you at first sight.

"how about you? are you okay with my favor?" i asked right back at him. you think i'd be the only one hesitating here. the intimidating aura that he had was instantly gone in a swoop when he spoke to me again, "ok! it's not like you have any dark intentions right taehyung-ssi? but i don't really know if it's alright for you to be staying at my place. especially that we haven't met each other before and don't you have any other friends to help you?" wow he sure does speaks a lot. he's like me.

i just shrugged, "my friends live far away from me. i need a place closest to my campus so this is the best option that i can think of. i can't continue sleeping at my place when there's the possibility of puddles forming everywhere."

"alright if you say so! then i guess, welcome new roommate! i have a spare bedroom, good thing you came over." after that he gestured me to follow him inside. i pushed my luggage inside before closing the door. good thing?? say huh.

i can't believe that really happened. in just one swoop, i am actually living together with this man i do not know of, except that he's my neighbor and he's possibly my new crush, and he doesn't seem to have any problems with it. is this what you call a surprise? he didn't even ask what problems i am facing at my place. he literally just went along with everything that i responded.

this dude's too naive. it's going to be dangerous when he faces thugs.

but at least problem's solved! i now have a temporary place to live in. nothing can be more good than this.

"what about your rent?" he asked me as he went to sit down on one of the dining chairs. "uhh, probably i'll still pay for it. and of course i'm now going to be responsible for your expenses. half of it." i emphasized the half. he might tell me to also share his rent because of course why wouldn't he?

"ohh, that's cool. okay then, make yourself at home!" he chirped and went back to his business. apparently it seems like he's doing something on his laptop that's sitting on top of the table. "wait, i never got to ask for your name." i interrupted him, again. this is going to be the last time, please bear with me. "it's jungkook. jeon jungkook." he answered instantly.

even his name sounds ethereal, wtf is this. i can't believe a jeon jungkook exists.

suddenly remembering at the position i am in, i felt my cheeks get hot from embarassment. it is now slowly sinking in my mind that i am indeed living with jungkook. without missing a beat i turned my back on him and headed for the spare bedroom that he was referring to.

once i got in the room, i crashed for the bed and let myself collect my thoughts. i'm feeling a bit dizzy from everything's that is happening. maybe this is a surprise for me as well. "ugh but how can this dude quickly agree with me? he looks like the type to say yes without asking why." i said out loud.

*ting!*

my phone dinged and i swiftly grabbed it to see what it is about.

'reminder: STUDY OF HUMAN ART ESSAY DUE 10:30 PM' "AH SHOOT I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT!" darn essays with specific word counts. i am a student majoring in arts and design, why are essays a part of the curriculum?? sitting back up, i pulled my laptop out of my backpack and went back to finishing the essay.

oh right i left my instant ramyun in my apartment. thank goodness i haven't cooked it yet, i'll just go back to my unit to grab more things later once i'm done with this.

there goes my new life of living with a total stranger now. 'i hope everything goes well, and i really pray i did not make the wrong hasty decision.' i thought to myself while doing my essay. all hell will break loose if i regret this sometime in the future. although i can see it coming now..
