Number Neighbor

6

I quickly close the box lid, but not before JK notices and flushes, looking away. Curious as to his reaction Hobi looks over from the box in front of him and raises and eyebrow in my direction. I just shake my head and stand up, picking it up.

'This goes in my bedroom. Nothing else needs to be done with it for now.' Hobi just shrugs and goes back to his box, JK quickly moving over to help him with it.

After moving the offending box of underwear to the other room I head back to find V has finished washing all the dishes and is making a phone call.

'Is everything okay?' I ask the other two, motioning towards V.

'He's just ordering lunch.' JK says, eyes focused on the box of linens he finds so interesting.

Hobi, with a twinkle in his eyes, smiles at me from the across the same box. 'We have to leave after lunch, but we were told to make sure you eat well. Jin's orders, and no one goes against Jin.'

Nodding I wave a thanks to V, who is still on the phone, and find a box of cookbooks. Pulling them out I prep them for the bookshelves nearest the kitchen.

With lunch over, a fried chicken treat from a place I absolutely need to get the name and number of, I wave them goodbye. 

I don't even get to turn around before my phone dings that messages are coming though.

XX: Hai, this is V. I hope it's okay that I got the okay to talk to you from JK's old number.

XX2: Hai! This is your Hobi! JK was letting us know Joon said it was okay to text you to say  Haii!! So HAIIIII!!!

I chuckled, he yelled even in text. Adorable, and a lot easier on my eardrums.

Hi V! Thanks for letting me know, and that's  perfectly fine. What are your initials? I'll put you in my phone as them. :Y/N

Hi Hobi! That's sweet! I am happy to have you as another number neighbor! What are your initials? I'll add you to my contact list...: Y/N

XX:  My initials are KT. My first name is Taehyung.

XX2: My initials are JH. My first name is Hoseok!!

After a few more polite texts from them I put my phone on it's charger cord and put some soothing music on as I continued the unboxing of my stuff. I only have a few more days until I needed to start my orientation classes.

I knew the Korean language, Hangul, was going to be a stumbling block for me at first, so while I am uneasy about my language classes, yes, multiple in a semester, I am determined to buckle down and work to expand my communication skills. After all, if I want to open a business in this market I need to be able to communicate with the populace here.

The next morning I just lay there, blearily eyeing the stack of boxes that need to be taken care of still along the wall of my room. 

My bed right now is just a mattress and box spring on the floor, the frame in pieces and waiting to be put together. 

I sit up and groan, mentally thankful I found the toolbox first thing. It made putting the living room furniture together easier yesterday. Eyeing the pieces of the bed frame I guess it'll be put to good use again today.

I had to move the boxes in my bedroom to the hallway while I made the bed frame, the mattress and box spring not leaving enough space to build and have the stacks of boxes in the same space.
