4. New Neighbour

"Did you not hear him talking just now?"
Yoongi walked up to us and lent a shoulder to Hoseok for him to cry on.

I rubbed my nape out of embarrassment.
"I-I was thinking about something else."

Jimin then stepped in, following by the rest of the members.
"Our manager is leaving. His wife got pregnant and he wants to take her to Japan. They're parents are there too, so I think we might have a new manager."

My eyes softened at the news. Now, I was really sad. Our manager worked and guided us for many years. He believed in us when others didn't. He organised everything so well and made our lives easier.

"They're holding an interview the day after tomorrow morning to find someone who can fill in our manager's position."
Namjoon added.

"I just hope that whoever gets the job will be as good as manager-nim."

Y/N's POV
"Interview for Big Hit Entertainment? Hae Na, you know very well that I won't go anywhere near—"

"Jungkook, I know, but think about your future, Y/N. You failed your interview to be a receptionist. You might be suitable for the job since you're a hyper and organised person."

Hae Na almost made me choke on my milk tea when she mentioned about an interview Big Hit Entertainment was going to hold in just two days.

I decided to disturb Hae Na since it was her break time. We were just chilling out at the pantry area of the salon she was working at.

She continued reasoning with me,
"Think about it, you fold and keep your clothes according to its colour, you arrange your makeup brushes according to its size, you clean your bedroom in the morning before going out every single day. No one does that, at least not me and Jinyoung. You're crazy tidy, disciplined, responsible and also great at organising."

For some reasons, her words really did made an impact to my heart. This job, this interview, having the title 'manager' itself was screaming for me. Being a manager may be hard, but it seems like a cool job. At the same time, I didn't wanted to go near that company.

I took another sip of my cold milk tea, then proceeding to bite the metal straw. It was a disgusting habit of mine.

"You're right, hun."
I sighed, stirring my drink.

"I'm always right—"

I interrupted Hae Na before she could boast about herself.

"You're right about this time, but I'm still not going for the interview. There will be more jobs that are suitable for me. I don't want to bump into him."

Jungkook's POV
I slapped myself after drinking another shot of soju. I swear I'm not an alcoholic. We had another night to ourselves after a week of promoting our new album.

Our manager cleared up most of our schedule before he left, so that things wouldn't get out of hand.

We have to start working again after hiring a new manager. For now, I had two lazy days all to myself.

The members and I agreed that we should have this two precious days to relax and spend some alone time.

Here I am, drinking at our hideout alone since the rest were probably at home or somewhere else doing they're thang.

After drinking one last shot of the soju, I tried to clean the place. Tried but failed miserably since my head was already feeling heavy and dizzy. So I just left the bottles there. I'll come back to clean it tomorrow though.

I walked back to my apartment, still wearing my black mask and hoodie.

The elevator ding-ed when it reached the fifth floor. I placed a hand on the wall to support myself as I dragged my feet to my unit.

Surprisingly, there was a human wearing a pink dress standing at the opposite of my door. I couldn't really make out if the human was a girl or a boy since my vision was blurry from the alcohol.

The next thing I knew, I was leaning my body against the human's door, blocking him or her from entering the unit opposite from mine.

"Hi! I'm—"

I heard myself hiccuping. I cleared my throat and slapped myself for the fifth time for today.

"Hi! I'm your new—"

Hiccuped.

"New neighbour!"

I extended out my hand for the human to shake. To my relief, he or she didn't embarrass me and accepted my friendly hand shake.

"Nice to meet you, new neighbour."

The human was a girl.

"Wait a second," she let go of my hand and scanned me from top to bottom.

"You're from the Chinese restaurant this morning, right? The nice guy who returned my coin!"

She exclaimed, helping me to stand when I stumbled a little. Her touch on my arm felt strange for some reasons. Maybe I haven't been close to a girl other than the makeup artists.

"I am?" I pointed at myself, dumbfounded. Did I went to a Chinese restaurant this morning?

I still couldn't see her face properly, kinda regretted drinking so much soju when I knew I couldn't handle the banging headaches after drinking.

"Sir, are you drunk? You reek of alcohol."

She leaned in dangerously close to my neck and sniffed me like a cute puppy. I couldn't help but to feel nervous and pushed her away gently.

"I'm not a sir!" I raised my voice a little, pursing my lips under the black mask.

"You haven't tell me your name, sir— I mean, what should I call you?"
She asked, distancing herself from me with a raised brow.

Y/N's POV
"Me? I am—"

The drunken man standing before me hiccupped again before letting out a small chuckle.

I'm sure he's the kind man at the restaurant this morning. He wore the same black hoodie, black mask and a white bucket hat. He must be really drunk.

What I didn't expected was, he slowly removed his mask and took off his bucket hat, revealing who he was.

There stood an awfully familiar person smiling sheepishly at me. I felt my heart accelerating when the boy who left me 9 years ago fell into my arms before muttering his name.

"I am Jung to the Kook to the Jeon Jungkook."

To Be Continued
