"WAIT! There's someone in that room.. OH, SHIT! GO LEFT! WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! AH NOOO" Minhyuk screamed to his mic, getting frustrated at his teammates at the end of the line. He clicked his tongue, annoyed, but trying to hold himself from throwing his headset.
"You wanna play another round? Nah, I'm done for today. Oh good timing, I'm having a guest now. See you later~" Minhyuk hung up from his discord group and exited his game application.
The person on the other side of Minhyuk's door keeps knocking and it's irking Minhyuk.
"Yes?! What do you want- H-hyungwon?!"
Minhyuk is very surprised to see his long-time crush standing right in front of his door, hands on his hips, eyebrows furrowed, and eyes with annoyed stares. From the look of it, it seems Hyungwon is the neighbor that disturbed by Minhyuk every night. And he never knew Hyungwon was his neighbor.
"Ahhh so it's you.. Do you know what time it is, Minhyuk-ssi?"
Minhyuk is screwed.
"Uhhh 1 AM?" Minhyuk nervously peeks back inside his apartment, looking at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Exactly! It's 1 AM! You've been ignoring my notices for 3 days! You keep being loud especially at midnight, please know your place. You're not the only one living here, and here I'm happen to be living exactly next to you"
How stupid of Minhyuk not knowing that his long-time crush was actually living next to him all these times.
Hyungwon sighs heavily, while rolling his eyes at Minhyuk. Good job for making your crush hate you, Minhyuk.
"Right, I'm sorry, I won't do it again.." Minhyuk fiddles with his own fingers. Eyes looking elsewhere, too scared to look at Hyungwon's annoyed look directed at him.
"Look here," Hyungwon places one hand on the door frame, closing his eyes for a moment "I'm not stopping you from playing games but- huh? You're complying easily?" Now he gives a confused look.
"I mean, I know I'm wrong here.." Minhyuk fiddles with his shirt now, eyes looking like a puppy getting scolded. And now Hyungwon blinks many times as well as clearing his throat, he looks flustered. But quickly back to his calm self.
"Yes, but, I thought you were gonna debate me or something.. It's just not.. like how I heard of you?"
"What did you hear of me?" Minhyuk tilts his head.
Oh, please stop being so cute. Hyungwon clears his throat again, fist covering his lips and he stares at the nothingness aka the corridor.
"That you were very thick headed and don't ever wanna lose an argument"
"I'm not like that!..... I think? Anyway, I will be quiet from now on. But can I ask you, since when did you live here?"
"Oh been here since day 1 enrolled in the college. You're the one who's new, Minhyuk-ssi. You came a week ago, right?"
"Yes, well.."
Minhyuk scratches his cheek out of habit when he feels nervous. He's also contemplating whether he should end the conversation because it's getting more late or should he invite him inside and talk more.
"Do you have class tomorrow, Hyungwon?"
Hyungwon takes a deep breath and his pupils move to look at the ceiling of Minhyuk's apartment.
"Yeah, kinda. Tomorrow we have a guest lecturer class, you should join too Minhyuk"
"Oh maybe I will"
Hyungwon smiles a bit, looking at Minhyuk.
"Anyway, I'm really expecting you to not scream at night again, Minhyuk. It's getting real late, I'm going back first. Good night"
"Good night.. Oh! Hyungwon, can I sit next to you tomorrow- wait- today???"
Hyungwon laughs. Right, it's actually today.
"Sure. Let's walk together too, later. Good night, Minhyuk"
"Good night.."
Minhyuk is having a good dream that night. And his crush doesn't hate him.
