Are we seriously neighbors?kill me

"Do you know who Jeon Jungkook is?" Jimin asks one of his best friends, Taehyung, as they sit together with their other friend Hoseok at Hoseok's apartment having their weekly chicken-and-beer session.

"Jeon Jungkook? Of course I do. He's only the love of my life." Tae says excitedly, his eyes practically turning into hearts at the mention of Jungkook.

Jimin rolls his eyes. "You've never met him, have you? I can tell you that he's not that great." Jimin replies flatly.

"Not that great? Um, obviously you've never heard him before. Just watch this." Tae taps away at his phone for a few seconds, bringing up a video of Jungkook.

Jimin watches intently and he'll admit that Jungkook is good. His voice is beautiful, and he's actually really handsome... but that doesn't give him an excuse to be rude.

"Yeah, he's talented, but he's an asshole." Jimin hands Tae his phone back.

"And how would you know? Have you ever met him?" Tae rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, actually. I met him earlier today. He came into the grocery store and made this huge scene over some lemons. It was ridiculous." Jimin sighs, taking a swig of his beer.

"Maybe he was having a bad day. You don't know his life." Tae crosses his arms defensively.

"Why're you even trying to defend him? You don't know him either."

"I know him better than you do." Tae pouts. "Hobi, tell him."

"Tell him what?" Hoseok asks, cheeks full of chicken.

"Tell him that Jungkook isn't an asshole and that he's perfect in every way. If he wasn't, I wouldn't be running a tumblr blog about him."

"I would say that, but I don't really know anything about the guy. I've heard his stuff on the radio, but I can't say I know a thing about his character." Hoseok shrugs, taking another bite of his food. "You're on your own with this one."

"You're no help." Tae grumbles, but then his eyes suddenly widen and he looks at Jimin. "Wait. Did you say you met him today?"

"Uh, yeah. You're like ten minutes late to the party, Tae." Jimin says.

"You met him?"

"That's what I just sai--"

"Oh my god. Does that mean he's here? Oh my god. Jimin." Tae grabs his friend by the shoulders. "You must take me to him."

"First of all, get off of me." Jimin removes his friend's hands. "Second of all, I don't know where he lives. Third of all, stop being a creep. You're twenty two years old. There's no reason to be so obsessed with some random guy."

"Random guy?" Tae scoffs. "We're no longer friends." He turns up his nose and looks away from Jimin, causing the latter to rolls his eyes.

"I think my eyes are gonna pop out of my head with all the rolling I've been doing today." Jimin sighs. He sets his empty bottle down and stretches out his arms. "I think I'm gonna head home."

"What? Already?" Hoseok frowns. "It's only been two hours since you got here. You promised you'd stay longer this time."

"I know, I know. I'm just stressed out because Namjoon gave that guy a whole box of lemons for free today. I need some alone time to calm myself down. Tae's not helping." Jimin tells him.

"Want me to drive you home?" Hoseok offers, realizing he's not gonna be able to talk Jimin out of leaving.

"Nah, I'll walk." Jimin waved him away. He stands. "I'll see you guys tomorrow, alright?"

"Alright. Be safe walking home." Hoseok pats Jimin on the butt as he walks past him towards the door.

"Bye, Jimin. Even though I'm not talking to you because you insulted me and my interests." Tae calls, making Jimin chuckle.

"Bye, Tae."

Jimin exits the apartment building quickly and makes his way three blocks back to his parents house. His guard is down, and he feels safe, but boy was that the wrong thing to do.

As he's walking and looking down at his phone, Jimin bumps into someone.

"Watch where you're going." A strangely familiar voice says suddenly. Jimin looks up and whoop-dee-doo, it's Jeon freaking Jungkook.

"What the hell..." Jimin sighs under his breath as him and Jungkook lock eyes.

"What--are you stalking me?" Jungkook raises his voice. He then covers his nose. "You smell like alcohol. God."

"Jesus, leave me alone." Jimin rolls his eyes.

Jungkook clicks his tongue in disapproval. "So this is what the common folk get up to. Drunk walking. Classy." He rolls his eyes. Jimin groans in annoyance.

"Seriously, shut up. I'm just trying to get home. What are you even doing around here?"

"I'm getting fresh air, duh. It's good for my pores." Jungkook crosses his arms.

"Pores? Gag me." Jimin runs a hand through his hair. "Whatever. Just don't talk to me." He pushes past Jungkook, walking through his yard to the front door.

"Don't tell me you're my neighbor." Jungkook laughs in unamused disbelief. Jimin turns around to see Jungkook walking up to the porch of the sweet couple from next door.

"Wait a minute... you're their son? You can't be." Jimin says dubiously.

"Of course I'm their son."

"But they're so nice and you're such an *** hat. How did that happen?" Jimin asks.

Jungkook glares at him. "Don't make me get my manager on you. I will."

"Go ahead. What'll he do?" Jimin provokes.

"Jin!" Jungkook calls into the house. "I'm being harassed by a crazy person."

"I'm not even a crazy person." Jimin rolls his eyes. "Your parents must be proud of you for picking fights with random people. Good job." Jimin says. He'll admit that he's feeling a little fight-y. He usually does after a few drinks.

"Mom, this drunk hobo won't leave me alone!" Jungkook whines.

"A hobo? Honey, I thought I told you not to talk to strangers while you're home--oh." Jungkook's mother pops her head out of the door to see Jimin standing on his porch. "Jimin! Hi honey. How are you?" She grins happily.

Jimin smiles back brightly. "I'm great, Mrs. Jeon. How's the hubby?" Jimin makes polite conversation.

"Oh, he's wonderful. I heard you and Jungkookie got into a little argument earlier." She laughs. "Boys will be boys. Jungkook has the personality of a seven year old boy."

Jimin laughs hard at that. "Mom! I thought you were on my side!" Jungkook whines.

"Honey, don't whine. It's unappealing."

"Yeah, Jungkook. You should really listen to your mother." Jimin chimes in, only making Jungkook angrier.

"Well, anyway, tell your parents I said hi. You should come over for dinner tomorrow."

"That would be great. I'll talk to them about it." Jimin grins.

"Great. Well, it was nice seeing you, sweetie. Take care." Mrs. Jeon waves happily before stepping back into the house, pulling her son inside with her.

Jimin shakes his head as he opens up the door. "How a sweet woman like that gave birth to such a horrible child, I'll never know." Jimin sighs.

He steps inside. "I'm home." He calls out as he kicks his shoes off.

"You're back early." Jimin's father notices.

"Yeah, I'm stressed out." Jimin admits.

"Why?"

"The Jeon's son is staying with them and he's a real piece of work." Jimin tells him.

"Jeon Jungkook? You know, he's quite famous. I heard he left home to go train in Seoul at the age of twelve."

"Twelve? That's pretty young. How old is he now?" Jimin asks.

"Twenty one, I think. Not much younger than you."

"Wow. I actually kind of feel bad for him now. No wonder he has such a horrible attitude. He was thrown to the wolves at such a young age." Jimin frowns. "Still doesn't give him a right to be mean to me though."

"What happened? Get into a fight with him?" Jimin's mother asks.

"Yeah, but I won't get into it." Jimin sighs. "Oh, by the way, Mrs. Jeon invited us over for dinner tomorrow night."

"Oh good. I was about to call her and make some plans." Jimin's mother smiles. "You'll be there too, right?"

"I guess so. Hopefully diva boy over there won't be. Knowing him, he'll think he's too good to have dinner with us common folk, as he called me earlier."

"Oh, he can't be as bad as you say. The Jeons are sweet people."

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Then I met the spawn of Satan."

"Oh, Jimin, stop it." His mother waves him away.

"I'm going to bed. I'm tipsy and tired. I'll see you tomorrow, I guess."

"Alright, goodnight." His parents say to him. Jimin trudges out he stairs before plopping down on his bed. Before he can think, he's out like a light.

The series will get more interesting, I promise. Part three is better.
