Jackson's POV
Gee, that girl was really clueless about her situation, Jackson rubbed his forehead. Or maybe she's not wrong. It's me that should stop looking at her place. After all, not looking away was the one mistake that even King David did and look where it got him? He fell into the temptation and made a grave sin. Jackson sighed and closed the curtain on his window and plopped himself on the bed. It was the third time already he saw girl through the window glass. The first time, it was purely coincidental. He was about to close his curtain when he saw the glimpse of the girl working out in her place, completely oblivious that she could be seen by strangers. Well, she might think that no one could look at her place, considering that her place was higher than the buildings surrounding hers. Maybe she thought his place was too far away but he managed to catch a glimpse of her place through that small window of hers that she forgot to close.
From his place, Jackson could see that her rooftop place was quite small but it was enough for a single person to live there. Yes, after a few times observing her, he figured out that she lived alone. At least it was his conclusion as he never saw anyone else hanging around on the rooftop. She remembered to close the curtain on the other side which had bigger window so it was understandable that she forgot to close the smaller one when she was working out. And the dim light on the inside somehow helped Jackson to see her even though she was inside. This was the fifth time he saw her. At this time, he admired her diligence for exercising almost every day even though it was late. Or maybe she was a night person so she exercised at night? Anyway, he thought she was cute. Even though she was exercising in her own home, she wore a loose T-shirt or a tank top to cover her sport bra. Even some of the girls that he saw in the gym didn't bother to cover up and just flaunted their bodies. Anyway, there was one time that he thought she caught him looking when suddenly she stopped exercising to wipe her sweat, but she didn't bother to get a towel and just use the hem of her T-shirt. Obviously he could see a glimpse of her abs when she lifted her T-shirt and funnily, right after she did that, somehow she became conscious of her action and started to look around, as if she felt that someone was watching her. Jackson immediately ducked when he saw her movement, but he checked her again later after a few minutes and she continued working out without closing the curtain on her smaller window. He was somewhat relieved that she hasn't found him out yet.
"And you're saying I'm a stalker? You're even worse. You're a peeping Tom," Jinyoung teased him.
"Just shut up. I'm not peeping. I can see her clearly. It was her own fault for letting her curtain open," Jackson reasoned.
"But you can always look away. But you didn't," Jinyoung continued in a sing song note.
Jackson said nothing as Jinyoung was right. He should've stopped looking at her. But somehow, he couldn't. He was mesmerized by her. Though he couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, but there was something that made her attractive in his eyes. He could figure out that she wasn't a skinny thin girl when he saw her in her gym clothes and he liked fit girl better. She also covered herself even though she was in her own house, which meant in public, she would take care of her appearance as well. He liked that as well. Somehow he didn't like how girls dressed themselves in skimpy clothes nor showing too much skin. That could attract the wrong attention. He prefer girls that wore decent clothes and perhaps even covered up more. At this time, it became his habit whenever he came home around the time she was working out, he would stop at his window just staring at her for a good five minutes before closing his curtain and continued whatever he was doing before. Jinyoung even teased him that after this, he would make effort to come home just to see her. And it was almost right. The other day, he was stuck in the studio and he was agitated for a bit since he couldn't go home and saw her working out.
