Oh No, I Think I Fell for My Nemesis!
An Unexpected Reunion
The bustling city lights flickered outside the window as Taehyung Kim sighed, sinking into the couch of his new apartment.
Graduation had been a whirlwind, and now he found himself in the heart of Seoul, ready to start a new chapter of his life.
The apartment was cozy, with just enough space for two, and Taehyung was looking forward to sharing it with his new roommate.
His phone buzzed, and he picked it up to see a text from Jimin, his best friend.
Park Jimin
How’s the new place? Settling in okay?
Kim Taehyung
Yeah, it’s nice. Just waiting for my roommate to show up. Should be any minute now.
Park Jimin
Excited to meet him?
Kim Taehyung
More like nervous. What if he’s a weirdo?
Jimin’s reply came quickly, accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Park Jimin
You’ll be fine, Tae. Just be your charming self.
Kim Taehyung
*about to respond*
Kim Taehyung
*Hear the front door creak open*
Kim Taehyung
*Smoothing out shirt*
Kim Taehyung
*Ready to greet new roommate*
Kim Taehyung
*Smile freeze on his face*
Standing in the doorway, looking equally shocked, was none other than Jeon Jungkook.
They exclaimed in unison.
Jeon Jungkook
*Recovered first*
Jeon Jungkook
*Smirk forming on lips*
Jeon Jungkook
Well, well, well.
Jeon Jungkook
If it isn’t my favorite rival.
Jeon Jungkook
This should be interesting. 😏
Kim Taehyung
*Eyes narrowed*
Kim Taehyung
Don’t think I’m happy about this either.
Kim Taehyung
How did this even happen?
Jeon Jungkook
*Tossing bag onto the couch*
Jeon Jungkook
I guess fate has a twisted sense of humor.
Jeon Jungkook
Looks like we’re stuck with each other.
Kim Taehyung
*Groaned internally*
After rejecting Jungkook’s heartfelt confession in high school, their relationship had turned sour.
Yup Jungkook had proposed Taehyung.
Bickering and competition had become the norm between them, and now they were going to live under the same roof?
Jeon Jungkook
*moving around the apartment with ease*
Jeon Jungkook
I call dibs on the bedroom with the bigger window.
Kim Taehyung
But don’t think I’ll make it easy for you.
A sound that used to make Taehyung’s heart skip a beat.
Now, it only fueled his determination to outshine Jungkook in every way.
Jeon Jungkook
Wouldn’t expect anything less from you, Tae.
Taehyung’s phone buzzed again.
It was a video call from Jimin, and Taehyung answered, eager to vent about the situation.
Jimin’s face appeared on the screen, a cheerful smile on his lips.
Park Jimin
Hey, Tae! How’s the new—
Park Jimin
*saw Jungkook in the background*
Park Jimin
You two are roommates?
Kim Taehyung
Can you believe my luck?
Park Jimin
*Burst out laughing*
Park Jimin
This is going to be epic.
Park Jimin
Just don’t kill each other, okay?
Jeon Jungkook
*Leaned into the frame*
Jeon Jungkook
*Flashing a grin*
Jeon Jungkook
No promises.
Before Taehyung could retort, another voice called out from the hallway.
Kim Namjoon
Tae! Jungkook! Are you guys home?
It was Namjoon, Taehyung’s older brother, followed by Kim Seokjin, Jungkook’s best friend.
Kim Namjoon
*Entered the apartment*
Kim Seokjin
*Entered the apartment*
Kim Seokjin
*Carrying boxes of takeout food*
Kim Namjoon
*Carrying boxes of takeout food*
Kim Namjoon
We brought dinner.
Kim Namjoon
*Setting the boxes on the kitchen counter*
Kim Seokjin
*Setting the boxes on the kitchen counter*
Kim Namjoon
*Looking between Taehyung and Jungkook*
Kim Namjoon
*Knowing smile on his face*
Kim Namjoon
I see you’ve met your new roommate.
Kim Seokjin
This is going to be fun to watch.
Kim Taehyung
*Rolling his eyes*
Kim Taehyung
Just what I needed—an audience.
As they sat down to eat, the tension between Taehyung and Jungkook was palpable.
Kim Namjoon
*Exchanging amused glances with Jin*
Kim Seokjin
*Exchanging amused glances with Namjoon*
Kim Seokjin
*Clearly enjoying the situation*
Kim Namjoon
*Clearly enjoying the situation*
The conversation flowed easily among the friends, though Taehyung and Jungkook kept their exchanges brief and pointed.
Midway through dinner, the doorbell rang.
Taehyung got up to answer it, revealing Yoongi and J-Hope on the other side.
Min Yoongi
*Eyes lit up as he saw Jimin on the video call*
Jhope
*Gaze lingered a little too long on Yoongi*
Kim Taehyung
Hope, Yoongi! Come in.
Kim Taehyung
*Stepping aside to let them in*
Kim Taehyung
We’re having a little welcome dinner.
The evening passed with laughter and stories, but beneath the surface, unspoken feelings simmered.
Kim Taehyung
*Watching Jungkook out of the corner of his eye*
Kim Taehyung
*Remembering the boy who once confessed his love*
Could they ever move past their rivalry?
As the night drew to a close, and their friends started to leave, Taehyung and Jungkook were left alone in the apartment.
Kim Taehyung
*Glancing at Jungkook*
Jeon Jungkook
*Is busy unpacking his thing*
Kim Taehyung
This doesn’t change anything.
Jeon Jungkook
*Looking up*
Jeon Jungkook
*Serious expression on his face*
Jeon Jungkook
No, it doesn’t.
Jeon Jungkook
"But maybe... it could." *in mind*
Kim Taehyung
*Didn’t respond*
Kim Taehyung
*Turning away to head to his room*
Kim Taehyung
*Closed the door behind him*
Taehyung couldn’t shake the feeling that living with Jungkook was going to be more challenging—and more interesting—than he had ever imagined.
