The boy next door.

Jeong Yunho

I was getting ready for school in the morning while my friend was waiting for me in the living room. She always came to my house and technically she woke me up by pressing the doorbell. After I was done I got some food from the fridge and went outside.

As we went outside a tall guy from the house next door kindly waved to us. Seeing his smile was our morning rutine. His name was Yunho and he was really kind and funny. I never really talked to him because I just dont know how to start a conversation and I dont want to embarress myself. What am I supposed to say? I ask him how is he and we sit in silence? I would bury myself. My friend on the other hand is really talkative so she sometimes says hi to him and they talk for a few minutes while I try to join them, but somehow I always end up listening to them and only saying hi and bye.

The only time I could talk to him is when hes here in the morning because in school, he is with his friends and I'd rather die then go up to them.

My friend and I said goodbye to Yunho who gave me a warming smile and I felt myself blush. I mean who wouldn't blush when hes smiling at them. On our way to school my friend looked at me with a smirk then decided to talk.

"Are you blushing?"

My eyes widened. Is it this obvious? I gave her an angry look.

"Of course not!, I wouldn't even have a chance if i maybe liked him!" Told my friend and after I realized I told her a little too much than what the question was.

She looked at me smiling and she was teasing me the whole day.

After school ended I went in my room and decided to listen to some music. As I layed in my bed I realized I wanted to get some fresh air so I went outside and walked a little.

As I was looking at the river that was behind my house a familiar voice was getting closer to me. I turned around and it was Yunho. He was smiling at me and said the friendliest, most heart warming hi that I ever heard. I almost forgot to say something but then I managed to say a hello. I quickly turned around facing the river when he came next to me. He was so close I could smell his perfume and feel his warmth. After he kneeled down to tie his shoes his warmth from my arms went away and I wanted it back more than anything. As he stood up again I was smiling to myself looking at the ground because I thought if Im looking at the river he would see that I was smiling but if I look down he sees nothing. Well I was wrong.

"What are you smiling at?" asked Yunho with a cheerful voice, I think he was smiling at me at that moment.

"Nothing" I said while looking at the other direction thinking he knows it. But what does he know. I wasnt even sure with my feelings until now. I liked Yunho. I was just scared to admit it myself because even tho he was the sweetest person I knew, he seemed like someone who would only like me as a friend. Which was already amazing because who wouldn't wanna be the friend of him but being only friends with someone who you just want to kiss and never let go feels like torture. I was sure in my feeling at the moment he felt so close to me. Him just being that near me felt like the world would collapse if he moved just a little bit. Maybe he was my world but he only sees me as 'that one girl from the house next door'.

After my head was nearly exploding with thoughts I got back to reality and noticed that while my head was full with questions and feelings, we tood there in silence the whole time. It could've been 10 mins or just 2. Then I checked my phone and we've been standing there for 8 minutes. If I was just standing here, how come he didn't leave? Why did he stay here? I looked at him and as soon as my head turned to him he looked into my eyes with a serious face. "Is it because I didn't say anything? What if he secretly hates me?" These thoughts went in my head when all of the sudden he pulled me into his arms and gave me a hug. Now I could feel his warmth next to me. He placed his jaw on the top of my head while my face was in his chest. I was suprised at first but after realizing what was happening I hugged him back as tight as possible. I dont know how long did we hug but it felt like eternity for me. After I let go of him and looked up to him I felt my cheeks get red. I was still processing what happened when asked me if I wanna get some ramen. I was pretty hungry so I said sure even tho I was scared I wouldn't be able to eat anything because yea Im getting food but who am I getting food with.

As we got there we ordered and even tho I wanted to pay for my meal he said no and payed for both of our food. Technically I got free food and a hug from him, this day just cant get better.

After we finished food we went on a walk together and we talked about everything. Started with favorite food, ended with what color should i paint my nail next. We got so comfortable around each other so fast, I didnt even noticed it. We were smiling each other the whole time. If there was a little colder the smile could've freeze on our face. We sat down at a bench in a park and I got pretty cold.

"We could go home if you want to" said Yunho as he checked the time on his phone.

"No, no its okay I really enjoy spending time with you."

"Me too but I think you should go home before go get a cold. We could do this tomorrow again if you want to"

I was really cold but as soon as he said this I felt warmth and smiled while he walked me home. As we arrived at my house he hugged me goodbye and I walked inside like a whole new person. I was smiling as I took of my coat and walked upstairs and went into my room. I put on a big blanket and as I was looking out the window to see it has started snowing. As I reached for my phone to take a picture I noticed a message from Yunho. At first I didn't know how did he get my number so I asked him

"Hey Y/N"

"Hey Yunho, How did you get my number?"

"When you moved here you gave every neighboor your number, remember?"

As soon as I remembered that I really did that I just smiled and send him a phone of the snow, like he wasnt in the house next to mine.

We talked on the phone for so long, the next morning I overslept.

"How the hell did nobody noticed that Im not in the car"

I called my friend how did she not came here and she said she was sick. I mean okay she did not wake me up but how my parents didn't notice Im not in the car.

It was almost noon when I woke up so I didn't even try to get to school because as soon as I would get there, I could just go home.

I texted Yunho telling him I overslept and he said I missed a lot from not going to school a half day. It

always happens when Im not there.

He was telling me about the things I missed and when the last bell rang he asked me if he can call me while he gets home and then we can go on a walk.

Yunho arrived on my driveway and was waiting for me but it looked like it was freezing out there so I grabbed two hand warmers from my desk and went outside and gave one to him with a huge smile on my face.

"When did you become so smily?" asked Yunho with also a smile.

I didnt want to tell him that in this cold nobody can tell if im blushing or currently freezing to death so I just said its good to see him. He kinda looked happy that I said this but I dont want high expectations so lets just say he always smiled like this.

As we went on the road he was walking with his hands in his pockets and it looked like there was something but then I remembered I gave him a hand warmer, but mine looked like it was nothing there. I didnt really think about it that much until we sat down in a chinese restaurant. As we ate the food he was talking about how much he likes rings with important people. If I see it right he is wearing 2 rings, so I guess theres 2 important people in his life, and as I was thinking about this he said one of them is just a ring that he likes and the other one is a matching ring with one of his really close friend. I thought that was cute, and at the moments he pulled out a ringbox. Even tho we were just talking about how he has matching rings I really thought this was a marrige proposal. He opened it and it had two rings inside, a smaller one and a little bit bigger. It really looked like the one that you have at weddings. I was thinking, what if he wants to have matching rings with me. Turns out I was right and he reached for my hand and put the ring on my finger.

My whole face was red, no word came out of my mouth and it became more akward when the lady next to us congratulated us thinking we're about to get married. Yunho and I looked at each other and then to the lady and I was about to say something about us only being friends but he was faster than me and at first I was happy that Im not the one telling the lady, but for my suprise he said something different.

"Thank you so much, I will take care of her for the rest of my life"

I was already at the edge of fainting, but this man is gonna be the death of me. Some people from the back heard the conversation and also congratulated us and a lot more people joined them.

"Damn how many years did I miss that you're getting married?"

I turned around just to see my uncle looking at us. I knew my dad is gonna talk about it when I get home. My uncle and dad rarely talks, but this is the topic thats gonna be there for a while.

I gave my uncle a soft panicked smile, grabbed Yunho's hand and rushed out the restaurant. I was thinking about changing name and identity after this even tho I wish to get married one day, and if I could do it with Yunho, I would enjoy every minute of it.

We were catching our breaths a few streets away from the restaurant when all of the sudden I felt his warm hand on my cold face and he leaned in into a kiss. I kissed him back without thinking. It felt like its just the two of us in the world and it was the best moment of my life. Us getting out of the crowded place and kissing each other kinda felt like some action movie like we are running away from something, but if I get to kiss him again like this, I would rob a bank.

As we got away from each other he gave me the brightest smile ever as he was still holding my face. His hand then went down to my hand and we walked back home.

As we arrived to our driveway he stopped and got a little snow from the ground and made a heart shape and gave it to me. I cannot express how happy I was at the moment. He pulled me close and kissed me again, this time it was more romantic and deep. Him being close gave me so much warmth that I didnt even notice how damn cold it was outside. As I let go of the kiss, I hugged him so tightly and hoped this moment never ends. We were stnding in the snow for hours, knowing we could just go inside and be there together, but none of us wanted to let go of the other. Soon it got darker and I invited him to my house so we could spend the night together. We went into my room and both of us fell into my bed. This was the time where we realized that we were freezing out there. We got under the blanket as we watched the snow falling from the sky talking about a lot of things that I never thought Im gonna talk about with him.

As I noticed silence from Yunho's side I looked at him only to see that he has fallen asleep. I decided to join him so I layed down and got close to him. At that moment an arm hugged me from behind.

"I love you Y/N"

"I love you too Yunho"

[im-what-iam]

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

You smack the snooze button on your alarm clock and groan at its audacity to be waking you up early on your day off. If it were your phone alarm, you could program which days it would go off. Except you sleep straight through every obnoxious noise your phone offers, so you've decided to go old-school again. Yunho doesn't mind, seeing as he's even more capable of sleeping through an apocalypse than you are. You roll over to wake him up only to find his side of the bed empty and void of any lingering warmth he might've left behind on the sheets.

You drag yourself out of bed, stepping into a clean pair of boxers you grabbed from his drawer. You’re already wearing your own panties, but it feels so good to be surrounded by Yunho. His sleep shirt- oversized on him and practically a dress on you, resting at mid thigh- clings to your shoulders. It still smells like the sensitive skin detergent he washes his laundry with. You love the scent because it's so characteristically Yunho; gentle and refreshing. It smells even more grand on Yunho himself, mixed with a light dusting of his favorite YSL cologne. You know he sprays it once into the air and then dances through it to disperse the scent. 

You exit your shared room and venture into the living room where Yunho is sitting cross legged, playing Mario Kart solo on his Switch. It's hooked up to the TV, sound off, likely to keep from waking you. As if that would have been enough. He's hyper-focused and doesn't look away as he says,

"Good morning babe, how'd you sleep?" 

You sit behind him, scooting close enough for your chest to be flush with his back as you snake your arms around him. He hits a banana and nearly falls a lap behind from the sudden proximity. You love how even after a year, he still gets nervous around you sometimes. 

"Pretty good, but I missed you when I woke up. How long have you been awake?" You question. 

"Ah, maybe an hour. I haven't eaten yet though. You want to go out to breakfast? Since it's your day off, I'll pay." His grin rivals the sun’s brightness. 

"Hmm." You contemplate Yunho's inquiry, wrapping your legs around him and seating them atop his own crossed ones. 

"Depends on where you wanna go." You lean your ear against his back to listen to the faintest sound of his heart. 

"Pancakes? It's been so long, I'd be totally down to-"

"Pancakes it is." You interrupt with a laugh, and you can practically feel how wide he smiles at that. He quits his game without saving and leans forward to return the wireless controller to its charging dock, pulling you along. 

"Do you actually want pancakes or are you just humoring me?" Yunho gently pries your arms off his torso and helps you to stand with him. 

"Both? I mean, pancakes sound awesome right now." 

He gazes down at you with that wide-toothed grin. "And I'd do anything for that smile." You tiptoe up to kiss his heart shaped lips.

He briefly smiles wider before returning the kiss, laced with love and want. His hands find your hips as he speaks. 

"You're too good to me, babe." 

"Am I? How about you show me your thanks." You give him a mischievous wink, trying to seem innocent but failing. 

Yunho braces his right arm under your back and scoops you up behind your knees to lift you princess style. 

"Pancakes can wait."
