The Day; You Moved In To My Heart
²
The next morning, Taehyung woke up earlier than usual. He told himself it was just because of the sunlight, but deep down, he knew it was because of his new neighbor. He started thinking.
Kim Taehyung
💭 Should I say hello? Or would that seem too much?
He went to kitchen. After a moment, he decided to bake. Baking was safe. Baking was friendly. And it gave him a reason to knock on Jungkook’s door without looking suspicious.
By noon, Taehyung had a small plate of warm cookies. He wrapped them in clear paper and tied them with a soft ribbon. It looked nice maybe too nice. He stood in front of Jungkook’s door for a few seconds before knocking. The door opened, and there he was Jungkook, with slightly messy hair and a loose hoodie. His eyes looked soft, like he had just woken up from a nap.
Jeon Jungkook
~ Taehyung!?
Jungkook said, little surprised.
Taehyung said, suddenly feeling shy.
Kim Taehyung
~ I, um made these. Welcome to the neighborhood.
Kim Taehyung
~ Yeah, they're still warm.
Jungkook smiled and it wasn’t just polite, it was warm, thankful.
Jeon Jungkook
~ That’s really nice of you. I didn’t think anyone would… you know, do something like this.
Taehyung shrugged, pretending it was no big deal.
Kim Taehyung
~ Well… you’re my neighbor now. And… I wanted to.
For a second, Jungkook didn’t say anything. Then he opened the door wider.
Jeon Jungkook
~ Do you… want to come in? Just for a little while.
Taehyung’s heart jumped. He stepped inside, trying not to look too happy. The house was still half-filled with boxes, but it already felt cozy. Jungkook put the cookies on the table and poured them both some iced tea.
They sat together, talking about small things where Jungkook had lived before, what he liked to eat, and the quiet nature of the neighborhood. At one point, Jungkook picked up a cookie and took a bite. His eyes widened.
Jeon Jungkook
~ This is.... So good.
Kim Taehyung
~ I'm glad you like them.
Taehyung laughed softly. Jungkook looked at him for a moment, his gaze steady.
Jeon Jungkook
~ It’s been a long time since someone made me something like this.
Kim Taehyung
~ Then I'll have to do it more often.
Taehyung’s smile softened. Jungkook blinked, as if a little surprised, and then smiled again.
They talked until the tea glasses were empty and the cookies were almost gone. When Taehyung finally left, the afternoon sun was warm on his face, and his chest felt light. He didn’t know if Jungkook felt the same. But for Taehyung, the small distance between their houses now felt like the shortest distance in the world.
