One.

Hello Neighbor!

The house next door? Well yeah, it's been done from 3 years ago but it's still empty. Once a family bought that house but moved out pretty fast. They only lived there for 4 months before moving out. And then, 5 months after they left, a new family bought that house and they stayed in a super short period

2 months.

That house bought again 3 months after they left, and again, the new owner left that house again in only 3 months.

After that, no one's buying that house again. Well I don't know what's wrong with that house. It sticks with my house. One of my windows connected to a window of that house and I've never found anything wrong about that house. Is it haunted? But I've never see anything mystical from that house.

It's not too big, the size maybe the same as my house. When it was finished 3 years ago, the painting's still have a pretty light-gray color. But now, it become dirty and full of vines.

Since the day the last owner of that house left, my neighbors started to call that house 'Creepy House'. My dad have been selling that house up until now, but no one seems interested to buy that so called 'Creepy House'.


 

 

 



"Yah, Lee Sungjong! Howon is in the living room already but you're still sleeping? Wake up!"
 

Yeah, that's my daily alarm. What's that you ask? My mom's loud voice.
 

"Hurry up hurry up! You're gonna be late!"
 

Okay, enough with my special alarm. I hurriedly wake up, and walks past my mom to the bathroom. I could hear my mom's loud grumble, so I decided to go out from the bathroom, kissed her cheek, before going to the bathroom again.
 

I should buy new alarm. I'm starting to get annoyed with my mom's loud yelling in the morning. Why I don't have an alarm clock you ask? Well, I broke it. I was in a bad mood that day, and that annoying teddy bear alarm woke me up early in the morning. So I picked that alarm and threw it nowhere. To be truth, I cried because of my stupidity. Even though the sound's pretty annoying, but I love that alarm. It was given by Sunggyu-hyung before he left to USA. But then, Howon-hyung told me that he will buy a new one for me when he get some money.
 

I've done with my shower and uniforms. Right now, I'm styling my hair.
 

Hmm should I keep my bangs to the front or to the side?


Just tie it up
 

No it will look bad
 

Tie it--
 

Lalalalala I can't hear you brain~ I'm gonna comb it to the side~
 

Okay, all done, now it's time to go to school! I hurriedly wear my socks, then run downstairs into the living room. There, I saw Howon-hyung reading his favorite novel.


"Hyung!" I called before sitting next to him
 

"Morning, Sungjong-ah... Eat your breakfast quickly, we only have 20 minutes to go," he said while closing his book and pushing a bowl full of cereal in front of me
 

I nodded before eating the cereal, and being jokingly scolded by my mom for making Howon-hyung waiting for me again.

 



 

"Someone bought that house this morning,"
 

"W-what?! How did you know hyung?"
 

Howon-hyung smiled,
 

"Your dad... was busy calling the new family who bought that house this morning,"
 

I gasped. That's why I didn't saw him this morning!
 

"Wow..."
 

Then it become silent. But it's fine, I need some times to think about the new family who bought the 'Creepy House'. They must be some outsiders who doesn't know any of the 'Creepy House' rumors. I wondered what kind of family are they? Will they be kind to us just like the first owner of 'Creepy House' or will they be the egoist people just like the last owner of that house. I hope they're kind and have a son whom I can play with. It's fine if he's younger than me, I need more friends to play with!
 

But then, I started to think will they stay for a long time in that house? What if I made friend with them but then they left after some months living there? It'll be sad, right? I hope they can stay there for a long time even though people says that it's a haunted creepy house. They shouldn't believe the other neighbors though, because they've never know anything about that house while me, my family and I have been besides the so called 'Creepy House' even before that own house builded. And we've never found anything strange and scary about that not so pretty anymore house.
 

"They're moving this evening" Howon-hyung said suddenly
 

I grinned
 

"Too much information, hyung... Cause I can't wait to meet my new neighbor,"

 




I throwed myself onto the soft sofa in my living room. Today have been a long day. Starting from Sungyeol-hyung who bumped onto me this morning, then Woohyun-hyung whose in a badmood because Sunggyu-hyung doesn't reply his text messages for 3 days, and Dongwoo-hyung who hugged Howon-hyung and blabbering about his cousins new 'Dance Dance Revolution' game machine in his house. Woohyun-hyung then said that he wanted to follow Sunggyu-hyung to USA but doesn't have much money. Then, the pathethic topic changed into the topic about my new neighbor yay! Courtesy of Howon-hyung of course.


"I bet they have a hot teenage son who have a handsome face but not so smart brain, and I bet he can play some instruments, kind even though his face told you the otherwise," Sungyeol-hyung said before added


"and I bet you'll fall in love with him eventually then the two of you will be the most fluffy couple ever,"

 

Just... okay, I forgot he's the infamous Choding Sungyeol. It's not like I believe all of his silly comments. It won't happen. How can he be so sure about those silly thoughts.
 

"Sungjong-ah, the doorbell is ringing, could you open it for me?" my mom's voice could be heard from the kitchen direction
 

I shrugged before opening the door, revealing a man who I bet have the same age as my dad. He smiled warmly to me,
 

"Hello, son... Can I meet your dad? Mr. Lee, yes?"
 

I nodded before letting him in. As I want to close the door, a boy who I bet again, have the same age as me, held the door and panted,
 

"Hello, neighbor..." he greeted while panting
 

"H-hi?" I greet him back. Then I just realize that this boy is my new neighbor
 

"Can I meet my dad? He's here isn't he?"
 

I stared at him and I couldn't help but to stare at his mesmerizing eyes. Why is he so handsome? Even though he seems to be the boy who likes to sleep in his forever dark room while hugging his drum stick or guitar. His voice's unique and I love to hear him speak even in not so good language or tone
 

"Oi?" he snapped his fingers in front of my eyes, and it make me blinks for a while,
 

"You hear me there? So can I go in and talk to my dad?"
 

I nodded my head
 

"S-sure! Sorry for spacing out haha" I chuckled awkwardly before letting him in
 

Without too much words, he walks fastly into my house with his long legs and confusedly look around my house to search for his dad. He seems so tired and I got this initiative to ask if he want some drinks,
 

"Myung?" but then his dad came out from my dad's office with my dad,
 

"What are you doing here, son?"
 

The handsome boy sighed before telling his dad that some of their things have been left out in their old apartment which his dad answered that they'll be picked tomorrow. My dad gave my new neighbor a paper and asked him if he needs some help with putting his things into his house but the man rejected my dad's offer.

 

Soon, our new neighbor have to go back to their house and we bid our goodbye to them.


I'm still thinking about that boy. The boy with dark brown hair and pretty eagle eyes. I wish I can get close to him. It's not like I'm interested in him but... I feel like as a good neighbor, I should be friend with him!
 

I couldn't help but smile because of my thoughts. I run upstairs to my room and opened my window which is connected to the 'Creepy House''s window. I knocked at the window, silently wishing it's that boy's room window and he'll open that door. Receiving no response,  I knock on it again but then still receiving no answer. Maybe he's still busy with moving their things? I huffed and stared at his window for a while. I imagine greeting him every morning through this window or vice versa. He'll smile at me, and I'm sure he'll be even more handsome with his smile. Why not? He's already handsome with his pokerface on then he must be more handsome when he's smiling or laughing. I smiled dreamily imagining we're becoming best friends.
 

As I was about to close my window, the window opened, revealing the sweaty him. He panted before widening his eagle eyes when he saw me. I gulped before nervously trying to start our conversation,
 

"H-hi? You're so sweaty,"
 

Oh great, Sungjong. What a great way to start a conversation
 

He's so hot with all those wet clothes covering his sweaty body
 

No scrap that, Lee Sungjong! Since when you're becoming a ert?!
 

"Well yeah, I was just done with my room here" he answered while dabbed his forehead with a small towel
 

I nodded,
 

"I can see that," he nodded too, "n-nice room you got there,"
 

WTF LEE SUNGJONG?!
 

At least you said something
 

J-just... Stop debating with me brain
 

"Thanks. You got a pretty nice room too there," he shrugged, staring at my room
 

I blushed a bit, looking at him staring at my room before drinking a bottle of...orange juice? Now why am I staring at him? He's just drinking, why should I stare at him? It's not like I can't drink. I can drink too!
 

But he's so hot even when he's drinking
 

NOW SHUT UP BRAIN! You're becoming a ert! Damn Sungyeol-hyung for making me like this. Now I should think about more conversation rather than debating with you, stupid brain
 

Hey I'm not stupid! If I'm stupid then so are you!
 

J-just shut up! Shut up shut up!


"Hey, it's getting late. Good night, neighbor. Sleep tight," he patted my head before closing his window
 

NOOOO! I was just about to say something so we can chat more! Argh damn you Lee Sungjong, Lee Sungjong's mind, and Lee Sungjong's brain!
 

Stop being a diva. You're yelling mentally at yourself
 

STOP! Why do I have a brain that can talk by itself and criticize me? Urgh!
 

I closed my window, walked onto my bed and throw myself onto it before hugging my pillow and stares into my ceiling. I just wish that tomorrow, I can greet him and talks more with him.
 

He's not the type who speaks too much isn't he? He's so quiet and his speaking tone is kind of...cold. I wonder if we can be friends?
