It's been 2 years already since "That Weirdo" (as Tao named him) moved in on the abandoned house beside Tao's house. Tao can still remember his mom talking about how rude the guy is because he didn't even bother to greet his neighbors. 

Tao remembered how careless he is before. He can't even feel any presence on that creepy house whenever he's passing by. It's just too quiet and soulless. But something is always getting Tao's attention on that house. It's garden.

It's just too beautiful and well taken care of. It might be a little weird for anybody but Tao knows the time when his neighbor's gonna go out to water the plants on the garden. The guy is always wearing a big hat, Tao's room is on the second floor of their house so he cannot tell how the guy looks like. All he knows is, he's tall, blonde, has a very white skin and most of all, he has big hands.

Tao enjoys watching his neighbor taking care of his garden. Sometimes he was even talking to the flowers. Tao's interest ended on that, he just really enjoys watching. Well, until.. .he felt that his neighbor is watching him too.

When he first noticed him, it was on Tao's b-day last year. They are celebrating on the back yard. All of Tao's friends is in there having a party and being so loud. Tao suddenly felt a weird feeling of being watched so he secretly looked around. And that's when he saw his neighbor peaking on the window on the second floor of the creepy house.

Their eyes met. But as soon as Tao looked, his neighbor immediately closed the curtains. Tao didn't know that being watched is scary, since then he stopped watching the guy while taking care of his garden. Tao is scared and since that day, he can tell that the guy was watching him from afar.

Kai & Sehun, his two best friends suggested that they should talk to the guy or maybe report him to the police. Tao argued with them, they don't even have a proof that Tao is being stalked, Tao said the police is just going to make fun of them.

Suddenly, Kai being an idiot friend he is, suggested that they secretly go to the guys house to see if Tao is really being watched. Of course Sehun & Tao is against it. They can't just enter someone else's house. It's trespassing. Well at least they are against it until Kai said they just need to go out before "The Weirdo" comes home.

Tao kinda knows when the guy is usually going out for groceries. Somehow, the guy has a habit of treasuring time. It's like everything he's doing is planned and all according to a schedule. The guy would do his grocery every Saturday and would stay at the supermarket for the whole day. It's really mysterious for Tao how the guy is always coming home with at least two boxes of supplies but still doing his grocery every week. Tao guessed his weirdo neighbor is a big eater, no wonder he's so tall and his hands are so big.

They planned every single thing. The guy would go out of the house with his sports car at 9am then would always, always come home at 5pm. That's a pretty long time for them to search for any evidence that Tao is really being stalked.

Friday night. Sehun and Kai sleep over at Tao's. That night they planned everything to make sure they are not gonna get caught. After all, what they are about to do is still trespassing and they could end up into jail for that if for some reason Tao's neighbor comes home early that day and caught them in act. Lol NO! They didn't plan anything at all, they just watched at least 3 movies that night .

Saturday morning. Time check 8:36 am. Weirdo Neighbor: Still out of sight. Oreo Line (as they call themselves): Still spying using binoculars on Tao's room.

Curiosity. If you can describe high school students in one word, that one would be perfect. They said curiosity kills the cat. Who cares about what others are saying? Sehun, Kai and Tao doesn't care about that now. All they know is they are about to break into someone else's house because Tao is getting the feeling of being spied by his weirdo neighbor.

Time check: 9am. Weirdo Neighbor: Taking his car out the garage. Ready to leave. Oreo Line: getting ready for the mission.

"Let's go now." Kai said excitedly.

"He's still there idiot! Do you want to get caught without even starting the mission." Sehun talked back.

"You're the idiot one in here dumbHun! Who said anything about going there now!? We're just going downstairs and get ready to initiate our special mission for today!" Kai said.

"Guys! Will you shut up! I'm really nervous right now! As soon as he leaves let's just go and enter his house okay! Stop fighting just for once!" Tao said with an I'm-not-amused face on.

"Fine!" his two best friend said.

They waited for the guy to leave. When his car is nowhere to be seen anymore, Tao, Sehun and Kai hurriedly ran to the guys garden where they are going to enter. That creepy house had been their playground before so they know where to enter the house without opening the front door.

They successfully entered through the living room window. The lock of that window is broken so it was really easy for them. They hesitated of course, it's been two years since the guy moved in and he might've installed a new lock but luckily and thank God he didn't.

"Wow. This is a pretty cool house for a guy living alone." Kai complimented the house. It was so clean and everything is on place.

"Look!" Sehun suddenly pointed at something. "He has a complete collection of our favorite manga! Wow!!"

The other two looked. Sehun was right. The living room basically becomes a library when their eyes met a three big bookshelves just beside the couch. The first one is full of comics and the other two is full of different kind of books.

"Tao. Your neighbor looks so decent. Are you sure he's spying on you?" Sehun suddenly asked Tao.

"I don't know Sehun. But I swear I saw him on my birthday last year. He's looking at me through the window on the second floor! Our eyes even met!"

"Okay. Let's check the second floor then. Maybe we can find something weird." Kai suggested.

They entered that house once before as a dare. But not like before the place is so clean and shiny now. You wouldn't even think that it was once a haunted house.

The wooden floor is so shiny that you can literally use it as a mirror. The living room is perfect and full of books with a flat screen tv, a big speaker and a big soft couch. The kitchen was painted white, it looks so clean and inviting to eat to. They didn't check the fridge, there's no time for that. The walls has a similar color to a sunset, it was bright but it's that kind of bright that is good to the eyes. Also, the paintings attached on every corner of the wall added a perfect effect on it. It looks like a museum.

They reached the second floor looking so amazed at everything inside the house. Sehun & Tao is still blushing because the wall beside the stairs had a painting on it. It doesn't bother Kai but Sehun & Tao did.

"3 rooms? Wow, this house is really amazing." Kai said.

"What room should we enter first?" Sehun asked.

"I'll go to the last room. I think that is where I saw him looking at me. Sehun, you go to the first one. Kai, to the second one." Tao commanded.

"Roger!" Sehun said then he took off to enter the first door. Kai did the same and ran to enter the second door.

Tao is praying to all Gods right now. He just keeps on wishing that his Weirdo Neighbor follow his weekly routine and never come homes until 5pm. Truth is, they didn't have any escape plan so they are seriously in trouble if the neighbor suddenly comes home early.

Tao entered the last room only to find this things covered in white blankets. Tao doesn't know what those are. What catches his eyes the most is the window where he saw the guy. There's a table beside it and as creepy as it gets, there's a professional camera on top of it. The one with a super long lenses and can zoom even on the tiniest things on earth. Tao is just exaggerating since that was the first time he personally saw one. Then binoculars and any other thing that is used for spying.

Tao walked closer to it. All curtains surrounding the room is shut closed. The lights is working but Tao didn't dare to open it. He was scared and all kinds of thoughts are running to his mind.

When Tao is close enough he took put his digicam to capture the evidences. But before he can even click the shutter, something catches his attention again. On top of all that chaos on the table is a whole lot of his stolen shots.

There's a picture of him in school uniform, in p.e. uniform, while he's laughing, crying, sad, in the rain, with Kai & Sehun, with his mom, his dad, him wearing his favorite shirt, he even have a picture when he's on the beach, school, cafe and everything Tao can remember he went and did since his last b-day.

Tao is so damn scared now. Is he a new target for assassination by a famous serial killer just like those on tv? He doesn't know. He just wants to run right now, moved back in China where he was born and hide there for the rest of his life. Anywhere without his weirdo neighbor would work too, he just wants to get away.

"TAO!" Kai suddenly shouted his name.

He immediately went out of the room and went to where Kai is, he was worried & scared at the same time but he knows his friend needs him. He saw Sehun also running to the second room where Kai is.

"What is it?" Sehun asked him.

"I don't know." Tao worriedly answered. "Let's go." he said then they nervously opened the door of the room where Kai is.

"BOO!" Kai greeted them with a surprise.

Their reaction is really entertaining that it made Kai laugh out loud. Tao hit the back of Kai's head as a punishment and also to shut him up. They are not supposed to be so loud, what if the other neighbor hears them.

"I'll tell Kyungsoo that you like him as a revenge for almost making our hearts stop from beating. Idiot!" Tao threaten Kai.

"Oh no! You won't!" Kai said confidently while showing a smirk.

"Watch me do it later Kim Jongin. Watch me do it." Tao smirked back.

All the confidence on Kai's face is nowhere to be found anymore. Tao is serious, he's doomed.

"No! Forget about what I did and look what I found!" Kai suggested. He pulled Tao & Sehun inside the room.

"Oh My God!" Sehun said.

"I know right." Kai crossed his arms.

Paintings. There's a whole lot of paintings on that room. The boxes that Tao recognized from his neighbors weekly shopping is full of art materials. There's painting hang on the wall, the floor is covered in newspaper, maybe to prevent the paint from staining it. There's one chair on the middle and a painting in process.

That's not the surprising part of all of that. It was natural to know that his neighbor is a great artist and had a good talent at painting. What surprises him is the subject of all the paintings on that room. It was him, the great Huang ZiTao is the subject of all the paintings in there. The painting in progress is when he was taking a bath in the rain a few days ago.

"Looks like you've become a model Tao." Kai said as he run his fingers through the finished paintings.

"Don't touch that! That's still a little wet!" an unrecognizable and incredibly deep y voice said.

Kai flinched, same as Sehun and Tao. They are so dead. They looked at each other before carefully turning around to see where the command came from.

Ahh~ there he is. Tall, had blonde hair, big hands and so damn handsome. He's wearing a v-neck fit white shirt and a pants that Tao can't understand if personalized or what. Left was a pants & right is a short, did his neighbor forget to cut the other leg or is it the new trend? It's another thing that Tao would never understand.

But more importantly than his neighbors appearance. They just got caught. They are so ready to go to the jail for trespassing. Well that is until the guy smiled at them.

"Do you know a saying that, 'Curiosity kills the cat'?" the guy asked. The smile plastered on his face is not leaving.

"We.. .we do sir.. .we are so sorry for breaking into your house." Kai said.

Sehun and Tao just kept quiet. When you need to escape and you need a scapegoat then leave it all to the great Kim Jongin. He's the king when it comes to reasoning to a trouble.

"You guys don't look sorry thought." Tao's neighbor said. He crossed his arms in a y kind of way. Tao saw how Kai's drool almost escape his mouth. Kai is a er for hot guys.

".. .uhm. Truth is. We're playing baseball then our ball accidentally flew here. But don't worry, I think you leaved your window open so it didn't break. We just came in for the our ball sir. Please forgive us."

Kai put his hands on his back and did a thumbs up to Sehun and Tao. A sign that everything would be fine and they should just act like him. Tao wanted to hug Kai for being a genius at times like that. He was so scared when his neighbor talked.

"Oh~ did I? I'm sure I closed it before I went out." the guy said. "Oh well~ maybe I'm wrong. So? Did you get your ball? You didn't break my front door or any doors to get in right?"

"No sir. We didn't. We're really sorry for breaking in. We rang the door bell but no ones answering then my friend here.. ." he pointed at Sehun. ".. .saw the window on your living room slightly open . ..so we invited ourselves in."

"I see. Since you already got your ball. You'll leave now right?"

"Yes sir. We'll leave. Sorry again for breaking in."

The guy just hummed an "it's okay" and guided them to the front door. Tao is still so damn nervous. He wanted to ask his handsome neighbor why the room is full of paintings of him and why is he the subject of his art. Or why does he have all those pictures on his desk. Or why is he spying on him. But he can't say a single word because he was still thinking that he was the next victim of all the killing in town just like those on movies he watched before.

When they are already in the front door the guy smiled meaningfully at Tao. Kai and Sehun are not really paying any attention now, they are just happy that they managed to get out of the house alive and no limbs missing.

"Hey~" the guy called them. The three high school students looked at him. "I'm Kris." he introduced himself to them.

"I'm Kai. The parrot haired is Sehun and that Panda is Tao." he introduced himself and his friends.

"Hey Kai. Mind if I talk to Tao? You look like you're in charge of the talking so I'm asking you." he smiled to Kai.

"what are you guys gonna talk about?" he asked curiously.

"That is a secret. You guys can wait at him in my garden. I just wanna say something to him."

"Mm~ okay." he nods hesitantly at Kris then looked at Tao. "Yah! Panda boy! Mr. hottie here wants to talk to you! Me and Sehun will wait for you at the garden okay?" before Tao could even argue or kill Kai, he already leaves with Sehun.

Tao looked cautiously at Kris. He's 10x more nervous now that he's alone with his neighbor. What if the guy suddenly strangled him and stab him. His friends leaves him there alone. How dare them leave him with his stalker! (TT.TT)

"Hey Tao. Don't get nervous. I don't eat humans." Kris joked as he motioned Tao to enter the house again. "Please come in. I'm thirsty. Do you want something to drink?" he asked.

"What? What? Is he gonna put drugs on my drink? Say no Tao! Say NO!!" Tao mentally screamed.

"I have some strawberry milk if you want."

"Oh! Okay!"

facepalm! Tao wants to facepalm himself for being tempted with strawberry milk! He followed Kris to the kitchen. The older told him to sit so he did. He patiently waited for his strawberry milk to get served to him.

"Here you go." Kris gave him a glass full of pink milk. Tao sipped to it deliciously. "Hey Tao. You already saw the paintings so I won't lie to you anymore."

Badump!! Tao's heart is back to pounding too much. He keeps on thinking negative thoughts. How can he think positive thoughts after seeing all that? Nope, he just can't do it at the moment.

"W. ..you've been stalking me?" he asked hesitantly.

"I do. I'm sorry." he bowed politely to Tao. "But you did too. I saw you watching me while I'm attending my appointment with my babies."

".. .Babies?"

"The garden. I know you're watching me." he stared to Tao with a smile plastered on his face. "I.. .I'm sorry Sir Kris.. .I~"

"Just Kris. Call me Kris." he said and Tao nods.

"K.. .Kris.. .I'm sorry.. .I . ..just.. .I didn't realize I was watching you until our eyes met on my b-day. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. No biggie." he intends to ruffle Tao's hair but the younger was surprised and moved his head back when Kris' hands are near him. Kris backed off, he didn't want to scare Tao than he already is. "Are you scared to me?"

"N ... .no.. .just.. .it's kind of awkward."

"Oh~ yes. The paintings. Let me explain about those." Tao nods again and sipped to his pink milk. Kris kinda smiled at Tao's cute actions. "Where do you want me to start?"

"Right from the start."

"Okay. So I moved in 2 years ago. I came here for inspiration you know. If you search my name on the web you'll know that I'm actually famous. But I had an artist block & I can't seem to paint anymore. That's why I decided to take a break & came here. I bought this house from the previous owner which is my uncle. Then after a few months I figured that you're watching me. Then on your birthday you saw me watching you too."

"Wait!" Tao stopped him. "What's your full name?" he asked and took out his phone.

"Your searching right now?" he asked.

"Yes. Better to prove if you're telling the truth." Tao said cutely.

"Wu YiFan." he said while smiling at Tao.

"You said your name is Kris?"

"It's my nickname."

"Oh. I see." Tao searched and saw that Kris was telling the truth.

"So? I'm telling the truth right?" Tao nods as an answer. "I don't know why but ever since I started watching you, I got so engrossed to it that I can only see you. I can even see you in my dreams."

Tao blushed. No matter how he looks at it, it still sounds like a confession. Is Kris confessing to him right now? Is he in love with him? There's a million other thoughts that going in and out of Tao's mind at the moment and he can't seem to process all of it at once.

"W.. .what are you talking about!?"

"Don't get scared Tao. I just really want you to know how it is. I don't want you to think that I'm weird for making you the subject of my paintings. I haven't been painting for a year when I came here but when I saw you. I don't know. It's just. A million of pictures starts to overflows my mind and I'm still wondering myself why all of it. Every single one of it is you. I started taking pictures of you."

"I saw it."

"You did?" Tao nods. "I'm sorry Tao. I know it is not the nicest feeling in the world to know that you're being stalked. But I just can't stop myself. Hell. I even followed you whenever you're off to the beach alone. You don't know how many times I battled with myself to talk to you. But in the end. I just can't do it. I know you're scared to me. Ever since that day our eyes met."

"Wait. Please wait. Can you stop talking for a while? I really need time to process all of this."

Tao is blushing from head to toe. He knows that it shouldn't be like that but it's his natural reaction. Kris just looked at him and his eyes never once leaves Tao's figure. Tao never once keep it a secret that he's bi. He gets attracted to both boys and girls and he's not ashamed of that. Sehun & Kai are the same as him so they really fit each others company.

Tao was wondering if Kris knows what he's talking about. Or maybe Kris is just too mature. Tao never gets to figure out how matured people thinks. It's one of the mysteries on Tao's mystery list.

"go home Tao. I'm sorry for messing your mind. Just.. ." he took out a small paper and a pen near the table and wrote something. "If your mind is already clear and ready to hear me out, please call me. I'll wait for it okay?"

Tao nods and took the paper that Kris gave him. After that he went out to the garden and told Kai and Sehun that they should go. His two best friends keeps on asking what they talked about but Tao just keeps telling them to shut up because he needs to think.

After a week Kris is still waiting for Tao's call. Tao is still staring at the piece of paper that he taped beside his bed. Every afternoon Tao would go home immediately and stare at the number till night wondering if he should call Kris or not.

He can't deny to himself that he's attracted to Kris. And after all Kris said, it seems like the older is attracted to him too. They started a little too off and Tao really wants to start over again. He wants to meet Kris more, know a lot about the older and maybe if he's lucky, Kris will fall in-love with him.

Kris is the same as Tao. He's still the same awkward big guy that keeps on wondering if he should go to Tao's house and ask if Tao is there. He finished his latest painting too and just like the previous ones, he really can't take his eyes off of his own work. How can he? He knows that he's good at painting, plus his model is such a hot piece of a human being. Of course he wouldn't be able to take his eyes off of it.

He displayed the new painting on his living room. His house is now full of Tao's face. It might look creepy for everyone because it looks like he was worshipping Tao but he doesn't care. He's so done with all the critiques. On his career, there's nothing but critiques and if Kris learned something it is. "You should stop caring about what other people are saying about you."

Kris sighed as he walk to his garden. The flowers are starting to wither because he's been neglecting them ever since that talk with Tao. He's been thinking too and he kinda forgets everything. All he did the whole week was paint Tao.

He started watering the flowers. Sometimes he would look up and steal a glance at Tao's room. The younger's curtain is closed so Kris cannot really tell if he's home or not.

"Hey~ I'm sorry, I kind of forget about you guys. I won't do that again okay?" he talked to the flowers as he rub its petals.

Suddenly, his door bell rang. That's weird, Kris is not expecting a guest. He entered the house again and checked who's on the door. He immediately, hurriedly, nervously opened the door when he saw who it is.

"Tao!"

"Hello Mr. Wu."

"What brings you here?" Kris asked nervously.

"Uhm. ..I just want to ask if you can stop taking pictures of me secretly? It's really creeping me out." Tao said.

"Oh." Kris looked disappointed. That is not what he's expecting. The smile on his face was nowhere to be found now. He's just pure sad that Tao still thinking that he's creepy.

"Don't look so sad Mr. Wu." Tao said smiling.

"You know. If you want, I can model for you personally. No need to take pictures of me secretly anymore."

If Tao can describe Kris smile that moment. It would be a sunshine. It was he most handsome, brightest and gummiest smile Tao had ever seen on his entire life.

"Call me Kris gege~" Kris said as he moved a little to make a little room so Tao can enter the house.

a/n: I found some cool fanarts on google ^^ credits to the owner :) let's just pretend that Kris is the one who painted them XD
