it’s been a few weeks since you’ve moved into a new neighbourhood, finally gaining independence and a new start in university.
the problem is, it’s anything but positive.
boom. boom. boom.
you swore that you could feel your windows pane rattle due to the loud music coming from next door.
trying to keep your cool, you found yourself in front of your new neighbour’s doorstep, apparently named hanma shuji. you shouldn’t have to be doing this. again. it’s 2 in the morning.
you knocked his door, hoping to get an answer or at least tell him to lower down his music.
there’s no response from within.
you knock a little louder and a second later, his front door swings open.
hanma, wearing only boxers, leans on the door’s frame, rubbing his eyes. his hair is disheveled and his voice is hoarse when he speaks to you.
“...what?”
unfazed by his appearance, you sighed before explaining yourself. “for the fifth time this week hanma, can you please lower down your volume? people are trying to sleep.”
he just stares at you, his brow furrowing. his gaze is... piercing and cold.
“look, i don’t really care about people trying to sleep. its friday; i have a party to throw.”
“at 2 am?” you didn’t even try to sneak a peek at his place. you would rather not.
hanma rolled his eyes.
“it's early; the majority aren’t here yet. but the ones that are here are having a good time.”
you stayed quiet, trying to process his words.
“fine, whatever. do whatever you please.”
he smirked, noticing your reaction and gives a mocking smirk.
“if you’re going to act like a grouch, go back to bed. it’s not like you’re invited anyway. i don’t like the look of you, miss perfect.”
“don’t like the way i look but calls me that.. what an idiot.” you mumbled to yourself and went back to your house, which is oh, so conveniently next to his.
he watched as you started to walk away.
“oh, you aren’t leaving already, are you? i thought you wanted to have a discussion with me.”
“what discussion? i only asked you to turn down your music, hanma.” you deadpanned. “good night.” you went back to the comfort of your own home.
he didn’t like that. the volume of the music increased again. the thumping and bass became even louder than before, probably just to annoy you.
you heard footsteps approaching your front door, and him knocking loudly. “hey, come out. i just wanted to talk.”
you opened the door a tiny bit as you glare at him irritated.
“what is it that you want now?”
“what i want?” he asked bitterly. “i want you to stop being such a goddamn prude.”
taken aback by that remark, you opened your door wider and your arms crossed.
“excuse me?”
hanma stepped forward, towering over you. his face was just inches away from yours, with your head tilted upward to look at him.
“i said, don’t be so uptight. just come to one of my parties already, you stick-in-the-mud.”
“i'd rather be sleeping.”
he was speechless and eyes widened as he looked down at you.
“you’re not serious, right? you’d rather be sleeping, rather than partying? it’s a friday night! everyone’s having fun, but you choose to be a loner instead?” his tone was dripping with sarcasm and he couldn’t help but sneer.
“yeah, so good night.” you closed your door once more and actually turned off the lights, trying to shoo him away.
“no wait, come ba—”
he tried opening your door, but it was locked.
“damn it...” he muttered to himself, before returning to his own home. the music continued to go on through the night.
the next two weeks went by without the hanma shuji hosting another party. the peace had been restored, and you started to relax...
..that is, until the following tuesday.
you woke up at the ungodly hour of 4 in the morning, the loud roaring music of another party disturbing your sleep. you covered your ears in annoyance and got up to investigate.
you knocked on his door.
there he is.. just in boxers, opening his door again. his hair was wild but still somehow looked good on him. he yawned and his voice sounded raspy.
“what do you want? it’s 4am.” he stared at you sleepily, a small smirk forming on his lips as he remembered your previous encounter.
you eyed him sharply, annoyed. “how did you even sleep with music that loud?! turn it down, hanma.”
the music started again, now slightly quieter. he turned to you and once again, he did not hold back his words as they came out sharp.
“what, didn’t your parents ever teach you to mind your own business? stay in your lane, miss perfect. nobody asked you to butt into my matters and my lifestyle.”
he pushed his hair away from his face and rolled his eyes, as if your request was the dumbest thing he’d ever heard.
oh, you hoped he finds his brain back there with the amount of times he have been rolling his eyes every time you both talk.
“when your loud ass music comes to my range of hearing, it is already my business hanma. you're going to be the death of me one day.”
before you could make it back into your house, he walked up next to you, looking down at you once again.
“awww, that’s cute of you to assume that i’d ever let my music be the death of you.” his voice was cold and sarcastic, but the way he said it... sent chills down your spine.
“night's still young, and my party’s just getting going. do you mind if you... join in?”
“yes i would mind.”
typical hanma looked you up and down for a good few seconds, as if trying to decide whether or not he should keep pestering you. his gaze was sharp, and almost unsettling. and to your surprise, he actually chuckled at you.
“oh come on! i’m not letting you off that easily. i want to see you let loose for one night. you need a break from that uptight and workaholic personality you’ve got going on.”
“i don’t see the point of having parties at 4 in the morning.”
he chuckled again.
“because it’s a party, (y/n). you don’t see the point? well, let me show you then. come join us.” he took your arm and held it, waiting for a response from you.
“fine but i won’t stay long.” you reluctantly followed him into his place.
“us?” you thought to yourself.
almost immediately, the strong smell of cigarette and people almost knocked you out. your eyes dart everywhere at the crowd and felt out of place.
as soon as you walk in, you notice a few people standing against various walls in the living room. there’s also people dancing and sitting on the couch, chatting away. the smell of the devil’s lettuce is overwhelming, and it feels strange to see this side of your neighbourhood.
hanma led you to the couch where he sat, looking at you and grinning. “sit with me!” he gestured to the couch.
“make yourself at home.”
you had to cover your nose and mouth with a hand or else you would start to cough like a kid. you sit next to him anyway, since it is probably the safest.
hanma laughed at your reaction, not even bothering trying to mask his smirk.
“don’t be so dramatic, (y/n). it’s just pot!” he chuckled. “here.”
he handed you what appeared to be a.. cancer stick in your eyes.
“oh no, thank you.” you declined his offer, shaking your head.
he chuckled again — he was probably quite entertained by your reactions tonight.
“oh, come on. live a little!” he raised the joint near your face, almost forcing you to take it.
“i’m leaving if you push it any further.” you deadpanned.
he narrowed his eyes, but eventually let out a sigh.
“fiiiine, you have no fun.” he said mockingly. he took a huge hit from his cig and then exhaled the smoke slowly, before grinning at you.
“how about... just have a sip of my beer, then?you can’t be that picky when it comes to alcohol, miss perfect.”
you may not be much of a drinker but you can handle it. you hesitantly took the beer from his hand— force of habit, you wiped the opening with your hoodie before taking a sip.
“there.” you gave it back to him.
he giggled and stared at you with his arms crossed. his gaze was almost piercing. he didn’t say anything for a moment, probably waiting to tease you more.
“how old are you, again, (y/n)?”
“you don’t ask a lady that, hanma.”
he laughed. “oh, shut up. that’s a pathetic response. you’re in college, right? then just tell me your age already. you’re obviously not a little girl, so just tell me and drop the act for a second.”
you were getting irritated by the minute and feeling humid too from the crowd.
“you first.”
he smirked at your response. “fine, i'm __. now your turn, miss prude.”
you swear he just knows how to annoy you every time. you rolled your eyes.
“same age then, jerk.”
“well, well. same age, huh? that’s funny, i’d think you were way older since you act like, i don’t know... a grandma?” he laughed at his own joke as he took a sip out of his drink.
the night, or should i say morning.. dragged on until you managed to escape from his party. you took the opportunity to sleep until the actual morning.
you woke up feeling fresh and did your usual routine before throwing away your trash.
you made your way to the outside bins and that’s when you notice hanma was standing next to you. he stared at you with his piercing eyes, no surprise there.
“you know, the more that i see you around, the more annoyed i get. you’re a walking headache, (y/n).” he had an annoying smirk on his face once again — his way of trying to wind you up.
“good morning to you too, i guess.” you said nonchalantly as you threw away the trash.
hanma didn’t reply to you right away, just watched you throw away your trash without a word. you noticed that he seemed... distracted, his gaze wandering from you, to something or someone else.
something was annoying him.
“you just woke up, yet you look better than i do.” he said, his voice low. even for hanma, it was an unusual comment, as if he was trying to... compliment you?
you raised an eyebrow. “..thank you?”
you would give a more.. sassy reply like he should cut down on the damn cigs and alcohol but maybe next time.
he chuckled softly and leaned up against the wall. “no problem. i’m just saying you look good.”
he stared at you for a good few seconds, then finally spoke up again.
“do you have anything planned right now?”
“not really but—”
“you want to grab a cup of coffee with me?” he asked bluntly. he waited for a response. of course, he had a smirk on his face again, as if he was expecting you to refuse and then for him to say something smart or sarcastic in response.
you couldn’t believe your own ears and looked at him as if he transformed into a different person.
“i’m sorry, what?”
he shrugged, his tone slightly softer.
“i’m asking you out for coffee.” he looked at you as if it was the most normal thing in the world. “i’d like to get to know you.”
“uh.. sure, coffee it is.” you were still slightly surprised though but he asked nicely.
hanma nodded to you and if you were quick and had looked closely, he smiled to the ground. his eyes seemed less sharp than before.
“good. let’s go now.” he then offered you a hand to hold, waiting for you to accept.
“and stop acting so surprised. i’m not such a bad person, you know.”
“well, you are annoying.” you took your hand in his anyway.
he nodded in agreement, chuckling to himself. he was actually quite surprised that you accepted his offer so quickly.
both of you went and walked off together to a nearby coffee shop.
“do you have a boyfriend, or anything?” he asked out of nowhere.
that caught you off guard and almost made you choke on your own spit. you looked up to him in disbelief.
“right off the bat??”
he shrugged as he walked beside you.
“i’ve never liked beating around the bush, it pisses me off. besides, that way, i know if i have any chance of getting to know you more without stepping on some other guy or chick's toes.”
he was completely unbothered by your reaction to his question. in fact, he didn’t seem to care.
“what’s the big deal with that question?” he smirked. “answer the question, (y/n).”
“no, i don’t have one hanma.”
“i’m.. actually surprised. so, i have a chance huh?”
you scoffed. you knew that he was just trying to gouge a reaction out of you. shortly after, you two arrived to the coffee shop.
he ordered an iced coffee for himself, and got one for you as well. hanma's gaze was still fixated on you.
“so, what’s someone like you doing being single?”
oh, he isn’t wasting any time eh?
