You and Ten walk down the stairs and see jongin there, cherry pie in hand, usual smile on face. He's wearing dark blue jeans with a red shirt that accentuates his beautifully muscled chest and arms. You and ten stand there, almost in a daze as he looks your way and lowers his head, you do the same, arching you back down a little, since he is older than you. You all say your hello's and sit to eat. After a while, it gets silent and the only thing you can hear is Jongin thanking your mother and telling her how good the food is. Some time passes and you mom asks Jongin "Are you good with house work Jongin?". He responds "I learned at a young age how to handle appliances and decorate, yes. May I ask why?" "Well I don't know if Kalah informed you, but I recently bought a new washer because the old one didn't work, do you mind installing it for us?" Your mom asks. At this moment, you're so embarrassed you want to curl up into a ball. We've only known him for like 5 hours and she's already asking him favors!? You tossle with a loud voice in your head, trying not to show any emotion on the outside and keep eating. Jongin takes his gaze from your mother to you and then back to her "Of course!" he says sweetly looking back at you. You make eye contact and he winks. He winks. In this moment, you feel Ten's foot harshly crash into yours as he gives you a wide-eyed, shocked look, slipping the chopsticks back into his mouth. You feel your cheeks light up a low shade of pink and jongin places a shiteating grin back onto his face. Time passes and eventually you're all done with your meals. Jongin hugs your mom and thanks her for everything. As he makes his way to the door with his long strides, you hear from your right ear "WAIT JONGIN!" he turns around, followed by you and the both of you see Ten by the stairs looking at him and quickly changing his glance to you and then back to jongin "There some kind of weird draft in Kalah's room, I think there's something wrong with the air, can you take a look? You said you're good with house work,". Jongin quickly says "Sure!" remembering that it's your room. You all walk up the stairs into your room you walk in first, Jongin, and finally Ten. After Ten steps in, he closes the door. Jongin looks at Ten with a questioning look on his face. His expression makes Ten come up with a lie quickly "Just so you can get the full experience of the problem," ten says with a slight hint of fear in his voice, hoping that Jongin wouldn't leave. Jongin says okay and walks around your room a little taking everything in, glancing in all ways. Your beige, blank walls fresh to you, and him from your new move-in. The only things in the room were your bed with a cozy looking sunflower yellow duvet layed over the top of your white sheets, your room furniture, and some boxes. His eyes have a sweet looking glaze over them, his kind face turns into furrowed brows "It feels fine in here, are you feeling okay?" Jongin asks sweetly, knowing exactly why Ten had brought him up here. "Oh, I guess it's gone...what do I do if it comes back?" You say, hoping to salvage your embarrassment Ten had started. "Just call me. Here, can I have your phone for a second?" He asks you, you hesitate knowing that it's a bit risky, texting with a 21 year old. Instead, you wash your worries away and reach into your pocket, pulling out your phone, and giving it to him. He stares at it for a second looking at the screen and then looks at your hand, pulling it up by his gentle grasp and placing your thumb on the home button. Your cheeks turn a shade of pink and you manage to mutter out a 'sorry'. He twiddles his fingers against the screen for about a minute and gives you back the phone, pulling out his own, texting himself a 'Hi' to make sure everything worked fine. He texts you back a 'Hi' and you pull your phone up, looking at the contact 'Jongin oppa :)'. You let out a giggle and he looks at you. "What's so funny?" he asks. "Nothing, nothing," You reply. Ten's watching this go down and you know his mouth is wide open, looking at you. Jongin says his goodbyes for, it seems like the third time tonight and heads out the door. You watch the door close and you walk in his steps, locking it. Before you know it, Ten is next to you, repeatedly slapping your arm "Ow! Ow! Ow!" you exclaim as he screams "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? YOU'RE WELCOME FOR BRINGING HIM TO YOUR ROOM!" You quickly shush him, knowing your mother had gone to bed already. A few hours passed and ten had gone to his house. It's just you, alone in your room...with a plushie of course. You sit there thinking of the events today and feel like one of Jongin's fangirls. You remember one thing though. The window. You slowly got up, you felt almost like he could see or hear you. You made your way to the window and slightly opened the window. You saw a wide framed figure standing beside a bed, shirtless. Of course this was Jongin, you thought in your head. You just stared at the light silhouette you could make out from a small lamp lowly lighting the room he was in. You look down, knowing it would be mortifying if anyone saw you doing this. You didn't bring your eyes back up, but you feel a pair of eyes on you. You suddenly look up, oh shit you think. It's Jongin's eyes that peered your way. You, as quick as you can, sling the curtains closed, hoping and praying he didn't really see you. "Jesus christ I hate my life. You're so stupid Kalah why did you do that!?" you whisper-yell to yourself as you slap your forehead in order to try to gather yourself, your thoughts, and hope for what you just did to wrap itself around your brain and stop going rampant. At this moment, your stomach feels like it's doing cartwheels but not in the good way. You feel so little, now that you got caught, literally spying on your neighbor through the window. Whatever you think to yourself and cross your fingers, hoping with everything in you that he didn't really notice and it's just your eyes playing tricks on you.

"Wake up you bum," you hear someone say in a monotone voice, followed by a repeated slap in the face by some jelly beans. "Come on Kalah i'm too lazy to get up and you're ruining my jelly beans," At this moment, you know exactly who is throwing the jellies towards you, and also who is the owner of that voice. As soon as another jelly hits you in the face and falls down into your bed, you pick it up and place it into your mouth and start chewing. "Yes Tennie, what would you like? How come you didn't call me?" "I did! Your lazy ass just wouldn't get up so I just let myself in," "Okay okay i'm getting up give me a sec," you say, still half asleep "You know Kalah, I love it when you talk to me in that sexy morning voice," You immediately shoot up, within wide eyes you look at Ten. "WHAT," you yell at him, grouping all of the jelly beans in your bed into your hand, and shooting all of them towards ten. "Oh sorry I was just doing my best Jongin impression,". You pull back your fist, acting as if you would ever hit Ten, he flinches back "Not the face please!" he exclaims and puts his hands in front of his face. "Yeah as if i'd hurt my bestie." you say and give him a big bear hug. "Come on Kalah we're going to the mall," you make a questioning face, knowing just last week, Ten told you he's never going to the mall because this 'white girl thought he was straight' and it was right in front of a 'hot guy' "I know I know I said i'm never going there again but I started missing it," He says. "Okay but you have to pick out what i'm wearing, i'm too lazy right now," You say, falling back onto your bed with a loud 'humph' coming from the mattress. After about 30 minutes of ten going through every piece of clothing in your closet and drawers, like he always does, he finds a nice enough outfit for the mall and you make your way there. After around another half hour, you arrive at the mall and remember you wanted to buy a floatie for the pool. You go look in the section for pool blow-ups and get one that looks like a large swan. You buy it and browse some more stores. After around two hours of being at the mall you and Ten decide to leave, with Ten's collection of like 20 bags, and some he made you carry and you collection, being only 5, you are so tired all you want to do is relax. Ten drops you off at home and you run up the stairs throwing the bags on the floor of your room. I want to swim, think to yourself and get dressed in your (bathing suit of choice) and head down the stairs, not forgetting the floatie you'd just bought. You open the sliding glass door and walk to the edge of the pool where the chairs are, sitting down to figure out how you're going to blow this thing up. As you place the air hole to your mouth and blow about 5 breaths, you already feel tired. You look around for anything you can use for this demon. The gate to your pool is quite wide and open, leaving access to anyone to see you and the thought of you humiliating yourself again did not sound good to you. As you walk up to it, getting ready to close it, someone walks to the side of their house, bending down, and picking something up. That someone was jongin. He comes back up and sees you. "Oh hey Kalah!" he yells to you. And you swear you almost threw up from embarrassment. "Hey Jongin!" You say back, trying to act confident. He walks up to you and points at the swan. "You need some help with that thing?" He says "Oh, uhm sure," you say. "Here follow me," He says and waves his hand, signaling for you to come. You follow him to his garage and watch him pick up his air compressor, pressing it into the whole of the floatie. He makes eye contact as he does this and you swear you could cook and egg with the heat your cheeks are giving off. You watch as the swan slowly gets bigger and realize you're just standing there in your bathing suit, with Jongin's eyes flowing against your curves that were so very accentuated by the slim fabric covering you. Jongin looks back into your eyes as he pulls the air compressor out of the swan and plugs the hole back up with the plastic cover. "All done" he says and grins at you. He picks the swan up effortlessly and hands it to you. As you turn back, getting ready to go back to your pool something chimes in your body, telling you to go back and ask him to come and join you. You turn to him and say "my mom's not home, and i'm all lonely, do you want to join me?". It looks like he processes everything before looking at you from your ankles, up and saying "Sure, do you want to come in while I get ready? You can just sit on the sofa,". You don't even think before you mutter out a 'sure'. As you follow him into the house, you take your shoes off at the entrance and look around to see white, painted walls and different types of art hung. You loved the way everything was decorated, there was a statue though, that caught your attention. It was the figure of a woman, no clothes included, it sort of looked like those of Greek statues. You wondered if it was just him, living on his own though. It would be a bit awkward living with someone with a naked woman in the middle of the room. He looked at you, with doe eyes and said "Here, i'll be out in a second," pointing to the sofa. I sat down lightly and started browsing through my phone. A few minutes later, Jongin comes out, with turquoise swim shorts on, shirtless and a towel around his neck. Oh god you think you think to yourself, knowing this could've been either a good or horrible decision.
