flirt.

jennie looked at her reflection in a wall mirror nearby. nang marinig niya ang doorbell ay mabilis siyang pumasok sa kwarto para mag-apply ng kaunting liptint sa pisngi at labi.

medyo sinuklay din ang buhok gamit ang sariling daliri.

while taehyung is patiently waiting outside her door. he bit his lower lip, hindi mapakali at kung sa anong dahilan ay mabilis ang tibok ng puso niya.

after his third time ringing the bell, a woman with two toned hair opened the door.

halos mapasigaw si jennie sa gulat nang makita si theo, naka led purge mask habang may suot na black hoodie. “oh, hehehe....” she smiled awkwardly, but at the same time, she's nervous.

holy fuck, he's kinda... intimidating.

that was the first impression, sino bang hindi maiintimidate eh naka suot ito ng purge mask?

“where's the food?” taehyung asked, while looking around inside. masyado din madilim sa loob ng unit ng dalaga.

“oh, pasok ka muna. nasa kusina.” kaagad siyang nagtungo sa kusina, not too far from the door. she packed the food nicely tsaka bumaling kay taehyung para ibigay ito.

although it was dark, taehyung's eyes never missed any of the woman's movement. from the way her hip moves as she casually walks, to the way her hair falls to her face.

“sorry, medyo madilim. hehe, nasira kasi yung ilaw.” jennie explained, felt like she needed to.

tumango lamang si taehyung, habang naglalakbay parin ang paningin sa lugar. he stopped, napatitig na lamang sa artwork na nasa pader.

it was literally his face, a portrait painting of him. just how obsessed is she?

jennie felt conscious and uneasy, seeing her neighbor up close — at sa loob pa mismo ng bahay niya.

tumunog ulit yung doorbell, na nagpakunot naman sa noo ni taehyung. “you got a visitor?” he asked, with a hint of a serious tone.

“oh, sandali lang.” the woman left in a hurry, muntikan pang matapilok dahil sa kadiliman ngunit mabilis siyang nahawakan ni taehyung sa braso.

she could feel her cheeks burning. “thank you,” she said lowly before opening the door.

bumungad sa kanila ang matangkad na lalaki, nakangiti at tila tuwang tuwa na nakita si jennie. “hello!” he greeted, lifting both bags of groceries.

“omg! thank you, rowoon!” saad naman ng dalaga.

so it's a random delivery guy. he thought, but he was wrong when she opened the door wider, as if letting the stranger in. mabilis naman niyang naitulak pasara ang pintuan.

in return, jennie stared at him in confusion, habang pilit parin na binubuksan ang pintuan. “theo?”

taehyung lets go of the door completely, bumukas iyon which revealed himself to the guy she just called rowoon.

tila nagulat ang lalaki, “oh, sino siya?” at napaatras nang dapat sana ay papasok na siya.

“ah, hehe, don't mind him. aalis na din siya.” sabi ni jennie kay rowoon, doon naman tila nainis si taehyung. matalim ang titig kay jennie na ngayon ay hawak ang braso niya. habang busy naman si rowoon sa paglalagay ng grocery bags sa counter top.

“who is he?” he asked darkly, glancing back to the guy and throwing death glares — something no one can see.

hindi na nasagot ni jennie ang tanong nang magsalita si rowoon. “jennie, i'll go to your room!”

nag igting ang panga ni taehyung, mariin na inalis ang kamay ni jennie na nakahawak sa braso niya tsaka diretsong nagtungo palabas.

he went inside his own unit, slammed the door shut and dropped the tupperware on the counter top. tumahol naman si yeontan sa kaniya.

he removed the mask, threw it somewhere. “i don't give a fuck,” he said, more on trying to convince himself.

but later on, he found himself with a drinking glass.... on the wall as he tries to eavesdrop.
