Exo next door (Complete)

Chapter 5

Y/n pov

Y/m/n : Why aren't you eating? Your fever's better.

Y/b/n : they say even dogs don't catch summer colds.

Y/n : are you dumb? It's January.

Y/m/n : says the girl who left her window open all night.

Y/n : I was frustrated and needed some fresh air.

Y/m/n : frustrated about what? Eat up even if you aren't hungry. You need to take your medicine.

I take a small bite of my rice.

Y/m/n : i said eat up!

Y/b/n : even dogs should have their peace when they eat. Let her be, mother.

Y/m/n : go to your room. I'll make you some porridge.

I stand up and walk to my room.

Y/b/n : I think she's really ill

Y/m/n : such a nincompoop. How hard is it to clean a house?

Y/b/n : Nincompoop?

Y/b/n (thinking) : what kind of poop is that?

Exo pov

Chanyeol look at the house next door.

Chanyeol : why isn't that girl here yet?

D.o. : maybe she got so scared she fell ill.

Baekhyun knips his finger in d.o.'s face.

Baekhyun : hey, what are you worried about? I can help you with it. Tell me.

D.o. : nah, it's nothing.

Sehun shakes his head.

Sehun : you want us to believe that? Why do you keep staring at that house. Why? Why, why, why?

Chanyeol : I didn't stare.

Sehun : I get it. It's because of what you said. 'Get out! I said get out!' Right?

Baekhyun: you're worried about that?

D.o. : is that why she's not coming?

Baekhyun: if it bugs you, I'll call her and ask.

Everybody stairs at him.

Baekhyun : actually, I don't have her number.

Sehun : I do. I mean, I don't know it, but I'm friends with her brother. I can ask him about it. Should I?

Sehun and y/b/n POV

Y/b/n : that girl is severely ill.

Sehun : What? She's really sick?

Y/b/n : yes, boy, '''tis critical. She has a cold.

Sehun : I have something to ask you. Do you always talk like an old man? And why don't you look at me?

Y/b/n : I do not sit face to face with friends I met outside of school. Mind your manners.

Sehun : how old are you?

Y/b/n : I said mind your manners. One more thing. You're barking up the wrong tree. My sister thinks of you as a guy with bad looking rear end.

Sehun : What?

Y/b/n : she said you're 'ugly ass' if you have impure thoughts about my sister, dispose of them.

Exo pov

Sehun : the girl next door caught a really bad cold. She is so confused she thinks we're ugly ass. But in my opinion that brother of hers is way more ill.

D.o. : what are you trying to say?

Chanyeol : so that girl... she has a cold?

Sehun : yup.

Baekhyun: hey, maybe she's ill because of Chanyeol.

Chanyeol : What? Don't blame it on me.

Y/n POV

My heart is beating like crazy.

Chanyeol : 'Don't you know who I am?'

Y/n : EXO? Chanyeol, in charge of flame?

Chanyeol : never mind.

Y/n : what did he want me to say? Stop beating so fast! Aren't you tired yet?

Chanyeol POV

I'm searching on the internet for a tea recepe.

Chanyeol : there is too much information. Cold... honey tea?

I pick up the honey pot and open it. I put some in a cup and poor in some hot water but throw a bit of water on my hand.

Chanyeol : hot! Ah, forget it!

D.o. Pov

I'm sitting in the car driving to my schedule when I think about the girl next door. I smile. I spot a coffee shop.

D.o : Hyung, can we stop for a bit?

Y/n POV

Y/b/n : Noona, I have a delivery.

Y/n : get lost. I'm tired.

Y/b/n : who's apron guy? It's from apron guy.

I open my eyes and sit up.

Y/n : what?

There is hanging a note on the cup and I pull it of.

Honey and yuja are good for treating a cold. Drink this and get well soon. Hope you're well the next time we meet.

Ps. Tell me your name then.

Apron guy from next door.

I begin to blush again.

Y/b/n begins to fan my face.

Y/b/n : you're getting feverish again.

Later

I wake up after sleeping a bit.

Y/n : one day's rest and I am as good as new. I'm too healthy for my own good.

I think about what Y/bff/n said yesterday. I nod.

Y/n : I can't have them thinking I'm a nut job.

Later, in exo's house

I'm cleaning chanyeol's room. The door opens and he walks in. I just keep cleaning without looking at him.

Chanyeol : why didn't you tell me?

I finally look at him.

Chanyeol : you're here to clean. And you are not a pervert stalker. Why are you back here? You need money? Say something!

I ignore him and try to walk past him but he grasps my arm again, just like last night.

Chanyeol : s-sorry. I made the wrong assumption. I was harsh. I'm sorry. You can keep working here. I won't get in your way.

He let's go of my arm and walks out of his room.

I begin to talk to myself.

Y/n : why am I back? Because I'm also sorry. I didn't just want to run away. I wanted to apologize and make things right before I quit. Looking into your house and touching your stuff... I'm sorry for that. But I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't mean any harm. And I'm not a pervert stalker. You don't have to know, or even care. But I have a name. It's...

Chanyeol : I know.

The door opens and he walks in again.

Chanyeol : I know your name. You thought I didn't? Y/l/n  y/f/n.
