boy next door ; k. junkyu

ahreum.

i was reading a book in my room near my glass windows for some odd reasons. i was peeking at my curtains to see him.

i know it is really weird and creepy but i didn't want him to see me, after what i did weeks ago. yes, it's been two weeks since we moved here and... i have been looking at him secretly for days now.

"what are you doing?" i suddenly let out a scared shout as i held my chest before looking at my brother who was peeking at my window.

"who are you looking at?" jaehyuk asked me. he was just a year older than me so i never really used honorifics around him.

"n-no one?" i stammered.

his eyebrows furrowed, still looking at the window. "junkyu hyung?" he asked me.

"y-you know him?"

he nodded. "he's a friend of mine." he smiled and i was surprised.

my brother had friends and it was really new to me. he never made friends at his old schools because he didn't want to. he wanted to focus on me and i seriously felt bad about it... and i'm happy he's finally gaining friends.

"do you like him?" he asked.

"NO!" i quickly denied as he laughed.

"sure, ahreum." we wiggled his eyesbrows up and down as i slapped his shoulder with the book i was holding and he was only laughing.

"don't get your hopes up on him, okay?" he reminded me as i stopped slapping him and sat on a couch near the window, sighing.

"i know." i said in a low voice. he also sighed as he sat beside me. "you know it's fine with me if you like someone but i don't want you to raise your hopes up, ahreum. a second outside could kill you, and i don't want to lose you." he carressed my hair lovingly as i lean on his shoulder.

"i wish i was not sick, jaehyuk."

"i wished you weren't too, ahreum."

okay but jaehyuk is such a big brother material so i had to do this- * cries *
