Boy Next Door: Part Two

Plot: You've been living in your new apartment for a week, and your friendship with Jongho has grown. You both want more, but before it can happen, someone interrupts.

-Part One-

Pairing: Choi Jongho x Gn!Reader

-Meet-Cute Series-

Words: 1.5k

You chuckled softly as you pulled the tray of cookies out of the oven. Jongho had just finished telling you a story about his roommates as he snacked on some of the cookies you had already baked.

You had been learning a lot about not only Jongho, but his roommates as well, though you had yet to meet them.

It had been just over a week since you first moved into your new apartment and met Jongho. Since then, you two had developed a natural and fun friendship.

After he came over to thank you for the cookies you made him, you ended up hanging out almost every day. He even helped you cart some new furniture up to your apartment, staying until late to help you set it up.

It felt natural, and right being around him, and it felt as though you had known him for ages.

You wanted to see him all the time, and since he seemed to have a weak spot for your cookies (as did his roommates), you encouraged him to come over and help you make some. Which is what led to you now watching him from across the counter as he ate yet another cookie.

You would be lying if you said you were 100% happy with your friendship with Jongho as it was. Because truthfully, you wanted more. You wanted your friendship to become stronger, to become more that just a friendship.

You found it was nearly impossible not to fall for Jongho. He seemed too good to be true, and you could only hope that maybe he thought the same of you.

Unbeknownst to you, he did.

As you turned to place the last tray of cookies into the oven, he watched you carefully. There was something about you that made him feel so at home. He felt comfortable, at ease, and even though the butterflies in his stomach always seemed to be present when you were, he had grown fond of them.

When you texted him that you were making more cookies and asked if he wanted to help, he felt giddy. He had been trying to find a reason to go see you all day, and now you were giving him one.

He left of the apartment, telling the others he'd be back soon, pretending not to hear them when they asked where he was going.

Now, as he helped you clean up the remnant dishes, he was trying hard to convince himself to ask you on a date. He wasn't the most confident, but he usually wasn't so afraid of things like this. It should be simple. But when you looked over at him and smiled your eyes brightening as your lips curled, he folded and lost his words.

"We certainly made more than I was expecting." You said with a soft smile as you looked a the cookies lying along your counter.

Jongho smiled, "That's because of the flour incident."

You giggled silently, thinking back to when you were making the batter and Jongho added more flour than was needed, so you adjusted the recipe to make up for it. But, that meant you now had nearly double the original serving size.

"It's okay though, my roommates will take as many as you want."

You nodded with a grin, "I was hoping you'd say that."

As you began grabbing something to put the cookies in, Jongho swallowed and took in a deep breath. Now he'd ask.

"Hey-"

His words cut off as knocking sounded on your door. You paused and looked over before shrugging when Jongho gave you a curious look.

He watched you walk up to the door and look through the peep hole. "I think it's your roommates!" You called back.

Before Jongho could say anything, you opened the door, now met with three smiling men.

"Hello." You said softly and they grinned wider.

"Hi!" One waved, "We're Jongho's roommates."

You nodded and smiled at them, "I figured as much."

Once Wooyoung, San, and Mingi introduced themselves Wooyoung peaked over your shoulder. "Is he here?"

You nodded and held the door open for them to enter. They thanked you as they entered, their eyes quickly landing on Jongho near the kitchen, who was clearly annoyed they invited themselves over.

Wooyoung spoke again, "When Jongho suddenly left, we thought he just got bored. But then we could smell cookies and figured he came here."

"You're cookies are amazing by the way." Mingi added with a smile.

"Thank you." You giggled as you followed them into the kitchen.

After about fifteen minutes of lively conversation, and nearly a dozen cookies eaten, you decided Jongho was quite different from his friends. But, you could see how well they got along, and how close they were.

The conversation died suddenly when your phone rang. Picking it up you stood up quickly. "Oh, excuse me for one second, it's from work."

As you ran off to take the call in private, Wooyoung, Mingi and San turned to Jongho.

San smirked, "So I can see why you've been keeping them from us."

Jongho kept his face stern. "Leave."

San and Mingi let out soft laughs but Wooyoung whined, "But we wanna be their friends too!"

San nudged his shoulder, "I'm pretty sure Jongho wants to be more than friends with Y/n."

Understanding immedietely Wooyoung suddenly grinned before teasing him. "Oh? Why haven't you asked them out then?"

Jongho felt his face warm up a bit at this, but he bit back. "I was about to ask them out but then you three decided to interrupt."

Their eyes widened a bit as they shared a look.

Hearing you coming back in into the room they all looked over at you with smiles acting as though their conversation never happened.

Mingi began first as he lightly smacked San's shoulder, "Y/n, it was really nice meeting you, but we gotta head out now."

San and Wooyoung agreed and you pouted a bit "Are you sure?" After they nodded, you smiled. "Okay, but feel free to stop by any time" You offered politely.

San leaned in to whisper to Jongho, "Don't forget we got practice in half an hour."

As they began leaving you realized Jongho was staying and your disappointment faded, you had thought he was going with them. As they got to the door, you called out to them before giving them more cookies to take with them.

Jongho smiled as you waved them off, he was glad you got along with them, even if they did steal your attention away from him.

As you walked back over to him, you grinned, "They really are how you described."

He giggled softly, "Yeah, but they're great guys."

You nodded, "I could tell."

Jongho scratched the back of his neck before he stood up "I need to leave too actually, but, I wanted to ask you something first."

"Oh?" You asked softly as you picked up on his sudden nervousness.

He didn't go with the others because he wanted to ask you something in private? Your heart started pounding, but you kept an even face as you watched him calmly.

"I was going to ask before, but, those three showed up before I could get it out."

Thinking back, you did hear Jongho beginning to speak as they knocked at the door. You nodded at him, giving him an encouraging smile that made his heart flutter.

"I wanted to ask you on a date" His voice was soft, shyer than you had ever heard, it was endearing.

"You want to go on a date with me?" You asked, a bit stunned, yet enthused.

He nodded, a small smile forming on his face as he could see the reaction on your face.

You grinned and nodded. "I'd love to Jongho."

"Really?" He chuckled out, relieved.

You nodded enthusiastically. "I kind of wanted to ask you too, but I wasn't sure how." You looked down at your hands out of shyness and Jongho grinned.

"I would have said yes no matter how you asked."

Looking back up, you met his eyes and returned his smile before you both let out soft giggles.

Jongho noted the time and let out a soft sigh, clearly disappointed with his timing. He had hoped to have more time with you before he had to leave.

"I do have to go, but, can I text you about it later?"

"So we can plan our date?"

He nodded, "Yeah." You nodded and he grinned, "Great. I have some ideas."

Walking him to the door, he looked back at you, a wide grin on his face. "I'll talk to you later okay?"

You nodded and waved him off, watching him walk down the hall like you did every time he left. And like every time before, he stopped at the end of the hall and looked back.

He let out a soft laugh before he waved, grin still present on his face, and butterflies still rampaging in his stomach.

xx End xx

Boy Next Door: Part One

Plot: Moving into your apartment can be stressful, especially when you're doing all the work alone. But your attractive new neighbor comes to the rescue after you run into each other, literally.

-Part Two-

Pairing: Choi Jong-ho x Gn!Reader

-Meet-Cute Series-

A/n: Unfortunately, the idea I had for this didn't flow as well as I had hoped. Jongho deserves better :( but I hope you enjoy it anyways :)

Words: 1.6k

Popping open the trunk of the car, you sighed. It was crammed with everything you owned, and you were all alone to move and unpack it.

Glancing up at the sky, you noted the dark clouds moving in as the sun got lower in the sky.

Looking back at the various boxes, you let out a sigh of determination before you began to pile lighter boxes on top of each other. You'd do this as fast as you could, the quicker it was over the sooner you could relax.

Walking slowly towards the elevator, trying your best not to topple the tower you created, you prayed no one was in the elevator. Much to your hope, it was empty. You smiled as you made your way in, before pressing the button to your floor.

"Only twenty more trips to go." You mumbled to yourself as the elevator doors closed.

Jongho walked casually towards the elevator, and pressed the button. He cleared his throat as he checked his phone, unsure if going to the gym at this hour was really what he wanted to do with his boredom.

As the elevator doors dinged before opening, Jongho began to walk inside, only noticing at the last second there was something, or rather someone, in the elevator.

As you began to step out of the elevator, you saw the edge of someones head poke around the boxes before you could stop walking in time.

"Oh!" you exclaimed involuntarily as you felt the person collide with you.

Your tower toppled over and fell to the floor as you held out your arms helplessly.

Jongho flinched as the boxes fell to the ground, before his eyes moved to you, as you stood frozen in front of him. As the elevator began to close you hopped out, quickly pulling one of your boxes out of the way before you turned towards him.

"I'm so sorry! I couldn't see you!"

Jongho opened his mouth to speak, but heard nothing come out as you scrambled to pick up your boxes. Finally collecting himself, he shook his head.

"It's okay, it's not your fault! I should have looked before I walked into the elevator. I just wasn't expecting anyone to be on it." He chuckled awkwardly "I also didn't realize I had a new neighbor."

"Oh, yeah, I just rented a few days ago" You chuckled as you looked back at him, seeing him grabbing one of your boxes.

"Thank you, it's okay, you don't need to do that!" You said shyly, yet gratefully.

"I hope I didn't break anything" He said slowly, as he heard the objects in one of the boxes move around loudly.

"Oh no don't worry! These boxes are all light, they don't have anything really fragile in them-" you hesitated as you thought for a second, uncertainty washing over you "-I hope." You chuckled and looked over at him with a genuine smile.

Jongho smiled in return, not failing to notice how his heart seemed to skip a beat at the sight.

"Can I ask why you're carrying so many boxes at once?"

"Oh" you let out a soft awkward laugh "I uh- don't have anyone to help me, and it's getting dark, and looks like is gonna rain, so I just wanted to get it done quickly." You rambled a bit as you made a couple stacks of boxes by the wall.

Jongho nodded in understanding before he felt a sudden determination wash over him. He walked over to your boxes before stacking some and picking them up. You met his eyes with a questioning gaze and he smiled brightly at you, making butterflies swirl through your stomach.

"I'll help."

"Oh you don't have too! You were going somewhere right? I don't want to-"

Jongho stopped you with a small laugh and shake of his head "Don't worry about it. I was just going to the gym because I was bored. But I'd rather do this."

Your heart skipped a beat as he began to turn down the hall towards your new apartment.

Quickly grabbing the box he left, you followed, pulling out your keys "Thank you that's really nice of you."

He glanced back at you with the same smile "Don't worry about it"

Opening your door, Jongho followed you in, before setting down the boxes and glancing around. He hummed under his breath.

"What?" You asked curiously.

He shrugged a bit and smiled "I just always wondered if the other apartments looked the same."

"Do they?"

He nodded "Yeah, pretty much. Mines a bit bigger because I have roommates though."

"This was the only single I could find near here." You noted as you set your box on the counter.

He nodded before clapping his hands "Okay, so how much more do you have?"

You blinked a few times "Oh...you meant- you're gonna help me with all of it?"

He rose his brow and nodded.

"Oh I can't ask you to do that."

"You're not asking. Im offering." He said, bluntly but softly.

You hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure?"

He nodded and let out a soft laugh, as the thought of how cute you were passed through his mind "Yeah, I am."

You smiled brightly at him, your face burning a bit hotter "Okay well, if you insist. I don't really have all that much." You said cheerfully making him chuckle.

As he began to follow you out the door, you stopped abruptly and turned towards him, taking him by surprise "My name is Y/n by the way."

He smiled "I'm Jongho."

You grinned at him "Thank you Jongho"

Turning, you began heading towards the elevator as Jongho watched you for a second, his heart hammering in his chest before he smiled and followed you.

The twenty trips you dreaded turned into less than ten as you watched Jongho carry half of your stuff with an ease you found almost alarming.

As you set the last box on the kitchen table, you turned to him with a satisfied smile "All done before the sun even set."

He smiled at you, watching as you looked around your apartment before turning back to him.

"I really can't thank you enough Jongho. This move was stressful enough as it is. Doing it alone was worse, so you helping really made it easier."

He shook his head "No problem. I'm glad I could help. And I'm glad I could meet you. I can count on one hand how many times I've seen the other neighbors on this floor."

You chuckled softly "I'm glad too. I'm horrible at introducing myself, I don't know if I ever would have met you otherwise. Though I do still feel bad for having run into you earlier."

He chuckled "Forget it, really."

You grinned at him, and he wanted nothing more than to just stare at you, but knowing he could easily overstay his welcome, he cleared his throat a bit as he checked his phone.

"I should probably go."

You nodded in understanding, but felt a wave of disappointment. You really wanted to talk with him more. It seemed like you to had quite a lot in common from the brief chats you had.

As you followed him to the door. He turned back and smiled at you "It was nice meeting you Y/n. Don't be a stranger."

You grinned at him and shook your head "I wont. Thank you Jongho."

As he left and walked back towards his apartment, he glanced back, to see you leaning out of your apartment watching him with a soft smile.

He felt his chest clench as you waved cheerfully at him. Waving back he smiled, before rounding the corner and letting out a soft sigh, already wondering when he would see you again.

The next day, as Jongho headed back to his apartment, he stepped off the elevator and a familiar smell filled his nose. He inhaled and felt warmth wash over him.

Someone had been baking cookies. He shook his head, a bit jealous of the idea of homemade cookies, as he started to head down the hall.

He slowed down as he walked past your door. You popped up in his thoughts multiple times during the day, and he kept wondering how you were settling in.

'Should I knock?' he thought to himself with uncertainty as he stared at your door.

He wouldn't want to interrupt you if you were busy. But maybe he could help you again? Would that be too much? Would it be weird?

Overthinking it, he shook his head and headed towards his apartment. Maybe he'd give you a few days to settle in first.

As he approached his door, his eyes landed on a small white box on the ground. Furrowing his brow, he crouched down to pick it up, seeing a sticky note on the top.

As he read it, a grin spread across his face.

"Thank you for your help!" - Y/n

Taking the note off, he could see the box was full of the cookies he had smelled. The box was still warm so he new they were fresh.

Looking back towards your apartment, he couldn't stop the smile on his face as his whole body seemed to get warm. Touched by your kindness and cuteness.

Looking at his door before looking back down the hall, he smiled 'At least I have an excuse to go see them now'.

Making a final decision, he began walking back towards your door.

If he took the cookies into his apartment he knew he would surely get none if the other's saw them. So it was only fair that he shared him with the person that made them. Right?
