Chapter 3- Take a chance
This guy must be kidding me.
“Me? Moi?” I repeat, still pointing at myself. He doesn’t say anything but settles himself down in a chair, cooing to little fluffball on the floor. I’d start speaking in tongues if he wasn’t going to say something.
He looks up, moistening his lips nervously before nodding and smiling.
“The bathroom is down the hall. Please, wash up there and then come have breakfast. I’d really like to talk to you about something.”
. . . . . . . . . . . .
What a weird nut… I think as I wash my face in the bathroom.
He’s either a saintly guy with no ulterior motives or it’s a be-kind-to-your-neighbors day…
I look in the mirror.
But he is kinda good looking... tall, skinny, large hazel eyes, short brown hair, tan skin, strong arms…
I whip my head back and forth.
Oh get a grip, woman, that guy’s…that guy’s...that guy’s got a stud in his ear!
I walk out of the bathroom, more neat and composed. Except for the pjs.
Although…the stud did look good on him... *SMACK*
I shoo all thoughts about this young neighbor out of my head, focusing on the task at hand. To make it out of here in one piece and get back to my own house, my own life, alone. Like it’s supposed to be.
He has a nice apartment though. I look around before walking to where he was, in the sun room sipping his drink. Could afford to take better care of his DOG though.
I sit down across from him, doggie at our feet, eating away happily from the way its tail was wagging nonstop like crazy.
At the moment, my neighbor was drinking from his cup of coffee, but he catches my eye and half-smiles as he drinks, motioning in embarrassment that he’ll be done in a second.
Without giving him a chance, as soon as he sets down the mug I stretch my hand and say “ Han Yue mi. 21. I’m your neighbor to the right” I jerk my head in the direction of my house.
“Ah” he blushes, embarrassed not to be the fist one at introductions. He grasps my hand and shakes it slightly, squeezing it.
“Shim Changmin. 21. Your….uh…”
“Next door neighbor?” I say calmly.
The dog barks.
“With junior here?” I look down at the puppy waggling its tail. It stands on its hind legs and swats its front paws. Amazing how it knew I was talking about her.
“A, ye, with my dog.”
He clears his throat.
“So... eh... I saw you this morning when I returned home, asleep with Mandoongie on the lawn in the back…”
“Ah, so that’s what her name is?”
I look down at the furry face looking up at me.
“Hi Mandoongie” and the little thing nearly beams up at me, shaking its tail with its tongue lolling out.
“And I was wondering… at nights…could you…could you please watch over her? I would but I…” he swallows nervously. “I work at nights and I wish I could be here more often for her. Please, I see she’s really attached to you….I-I’ll pay you…”
Sigh I knew this doggie relationship would get me into trouble someday.
“No no, it’s no need…you don’t have to pay me. I’m sure earnings must be tough if you work both day AND night.” I give him a look.
“There’s no problem with me taking care of her- that’s what neighbors are for I guess- but, if you don’t mind me asking, why did you take on such a responsibility if you couldn’t handle-“
“I know, I know what you mean,” he lets out such a sigh, you’d think he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. He takes another deep breath and readies himself- “….first, I apologize for any trouble this must cause you.”
His large eyes showed concern. Oh please, wait, so now I was one to read eyes?
“But believe me when I say this- every moment’s chance I get, I come visit Mandoongie and keep her company. She’s my family…”
He drifts off, looking down at his pet lovingly. And Mandoongie looks right back up at him.
Arf!
Lady charmer...still didn’t answer my question though.
“Alright, alright, I’ll look after her at nights then,” I say.
“Thank you!” his eyes sparkle and it seems he’s become animated and energetic all of a sudden. “Alright then, here’s my phone number, an extra set of keys to my house- just in case you know- oh, and I should give you a quick tour around the house so you can see where I keep the food, the toys, the leash, the medicine, the blankets, the clothes, the~”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute… what’s all this???” I ask, completely confused. “We’ve barely just introduced ourselves yet it feels like I’m getting the dog and~”
“Ah, from the feeling I got when I saw you with Mandoongie” he says straightforward. “I knew you must be special. To her. And I’m trusting you.”
“And besides,” here he gets serious. “You ARE my neighbor, so if anything funny business happens on your part, you’re right next door so I can catch you quickly.”
I gawk at him. Is this guy for real? Like I’d try to pull a fast one on HIM??? When all he can do is vault the fence and be three steps from my back d- I mentally shudder. No, let’s forget that thought.
“So anyway, here’s my number, the keys, and here’s the kitchen~” he proceeds to give me a house tour.
Makes me feel as if we’re newlyweds or something.
MAJOR shiver
He probably catches that from the corner of his eyes, because at his next words- “I know this must be so awkward…it is for me too, I’ve never done this before so I don’t know what to do”
-well THAT doesn’t see apparent at aaaaall, not at aaaaall, I bet you say that to all ladies you bring home Casanova-
“But please make no mistake, it’s not because of…of… us”- here he blushes a deep red and completely ruins the atmosphere with his next word- “humans but it’s for Mandoongie. Please understand that.”
“Oh, don’t worry, I understand…” I respond calmly. I was not in the mood for any relationship at the moment either. Being single was just fiiiine with me.
“Besides… you’re not my type.”
I look at him as he stumbles up the last few stairs, giving me the house tour. Psh. I don’t even KNOW what type I GO for, let alone what type doesn’t SUIT me. Ch, Yue mi….you’re one crazy chick….
“I’m glad we got that established then!” he laughs awkwardly.
“So…” he checks his watch. “it’s 10.00. . .what are you doing today?”
“. . .”
Mandoongie barks.
