author note. did i really create an entire instagram feed and a logo just for a fake tv show? well, yes and i don't regret it i love graphic design, so i really enjoy this kind of things (it makes the fanfic look so real hehe). English is not my first language, so please forgive me if i make any spelling mistakes.

You dropped your phone on the table as soon as you heard a female voice shouting from the other side of the wall. Ear pressed against the door, taking a breath so as not to make a sound and holding back the little gasps that the words you were hearing were making you let out.
โโOf course Iโm breaking up with youโโ, she was kind of yelling at him. You could hear him moaning and asking โโwhyโโ โโbut whyโโ, over and over again and you wished you had a peephole that could see through walls. Youโd never been so nosy before, especially not about your neighbor Jungkookโs relationship.
You felt bad for him, not because you were close to each other, but just because a few weeks ago he might have heard the same thing from you and Minju. Out of nowhere, you started to feel your heart beating faster, maybe because you empathized with Jungkook, or maybe because you hadnโt come to terms with your breakup yet.
โโIโm just sick of our relationshipโโ. Your heart stopped completely, you remembered that those were the exact words Minju had said to you, and you stopped listening for your own good.
You were taking a shower when all you could hear from your neighborโs apartment was silence, you understood exactly how he felt. Would it seem weird if you went over to say hello? or to ask if he needed anything?ย
โโYeah, it would be weirdโโ you said, trying to stop your intrusive thoughts.
As you stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around your body to dry off, you began to hear murmurs, as if he were talking on the phone with someone. You tried not to make a big deal out of it but you heard him turn down an offer, and you wished you hadnโt moved into that apartment, because, just as you could hear him, you knew that everyone else could hear you the same way.
Then you grabbed your phone to pause the song that was playing, and an Instagram notification set off your alarm bells, you quickly texted your friend.
โโHello?โโ That was all you said. You set your phone down on your bathroom counter while you got comfortable, turned on the speaker, and started your routine after a pleasant shower.ย
At first you thought it was a joke, but when the guy on the phone explained how the reality worked, it started to sound more real.
โโWe saw your profile on model Minjuโs Instagram, and weโve been able to confirm from his posts that you two are a couple. Weโd like you to be part of our show. If you guys want to.โโ
You were speechless.
โโH-hmmโโ you tried to look up the words. โโYeah, look, itโs just that weโre not a couple anymoreโฆโโ. Saying that felt like a stab in the stomach, your voice came out as a whisper, and your throat felt so dry that it was as if you were swallowing thousands of tiny shards of glass.
โโOh, Iโm sorry to hear thatโโ. That awkward moment of silence will be yours to keep. โโItโs funny because we just talked to another guy, we wanted him to be one of the participants and he just told us the exact same thing you did.โโย
And you thought of him. Was that even possible?
''Jungk-''' You started saying his name out loud, trying to prove that maybe, and only maybe, you were wrong.
โโWell, we canโt name names for legal reasonsโโ he started talking โโbut it seems like you two know each otherโโ.
Once again, he left you speechless.
Was this some kind of joke that fate was playing on you? Was it all just a kind of trance, like the ones you have right before falling asleep? In any case, were you really willing to find out what it was all about?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: โโWell, thank you very much for considering me, Iโm very grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with you.โโ You said it as politely as you could, declining the offer just as Jungkook had done. โโIt looks like a really interesting reality tv show, but I'm not in a relationship right now.โโ
After hanging up the phone and going straight to your room, you lay down on the bed, mentally exhausted from the whole day.ย
Was it really curiosity that killed the cat? You didn't really care when you started looking at the instagram stories from that account.
โFuck this shitโ was what you said after locking your phone and leaving it to charge on the nightstand next to your bed.ย
You thought about Minju, had they talked to him? would he have even answered the phone? You couldnโt help but remember how little he cared about his phone and all the times it took him hours to reply to you.ย
Your soul was filled with a somber feeling.
You tried to close your eyes and imagine different scenarios where you were still together, you wanted to be with him again, no matter what, even if it meant losing yourself completely.ย
And then you thought about Jungkook again, you thought about him, about the very similar situation that had just happened to him, about your friends, your family, and about yourself. You felt lost and wanted to find yourself again.
โโWhy am I thinking about my neighbor?โโ You snorted. โโDamn, Iโm going crazyโโ
And just like that, you fell asleep.
The next morning, you didnโt wake up to birds singing, or soothing music in the background, white noise or even the sound of your alarm. You woke up to the sound of your door being pounded on hard.
BANG! BANG! BANG!ย
You looked at your phone screen with your eyes half-closed. Saturday. 10 am. 20 messages. 4 missed calls.
โโWhat the fuck is going on?โโ and you heard three loud knocks again. When you opened the door, you saw his eyes blazing with fury, filled with rage. โโJungkook?โโ
โโWas that planned?โโ He asked you directly. He was looking all around, holding his phone in his hand, squeezing it tightly. โโCan you answer me?โโ He must have seen something in your face, some kind of expression that made him change his tone. โโPlease, [Y/N]?โโ
โโI donโt know what you're talking about, Iโm so sorryโโ. Thatโs when he held his phone up to your face, showing you the reason behind all your notifications. โโNo. Fucking. Way.โโ

author note. damn, this is my first time writing in english and i'm kinda nervous (and writing smut lmao). this fanfic idea came to me after playing cards one afternoon, i was looking at the poker cards and then, bum, like nothing this came out. i think this is going to be a pretty long fanfic, so i'm going to take my time with it.
i'm doing this sm! au because i think the situation calls for it (and they've always been my favorite fanfics)
apps that i will be using. iphone messages, memi message, google docs, photonote, chattales, photoshop (banners, logos, ig posts...)

โฐโ> TV show, 4 couples, they'll put their relationship to the test for a high prize. ๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ฎ?
Welcome to ๐๐จ๐๐ค๐๐-๐๐ง, a TV show where 4 couples are going to live together side-by-side in the same house.
They'll put their relationship to the test for a high prizeโฆbut all that glitters is not gold, they will have to pass a series of challenges based on the poker cards.
When your boyfriend broke up with you for a reason that by the day you can't understand, your neighbor was at the same situation.
Jungkook had been living across the hall from you for three years. You hadn't talked much during those three years, but you were kind of friendly to eachother, you know, just small talks at the elevator, the lobyโฆbut nothing else.
That's was going to change, because you were 1/4 couples of ''๐๐จ๐๐ค๐๐-๐๐ง''
