Still trying to grasp the situation I kept standing in between the rooms and staring at the man in front of me, holding to my towel like dear life. There were many thoughts racing through my head, but I could only focus on him. He was a tall, lean, muscular man. I kept staring in awe at his figure before I managed to raise my eyes to his face, which made me suck in a short breath through my teeth. He was incredibly beautiful - his light hair had almost a silver shade to it and was falling on the sides of his temples, his brows were dark and raised in curiosity. He had almond shaped eyes with hooded eyelids that made the almost black eyes have a stare so fierce I could barely keep up. Looking into them I felt as if they were devouring light in their intensity. I scanned his face lowering my eyes to his lips - they were round and plump. Is he wearing lip gloss? As if noticing that he clenched his jaw and smirked. I couldn't help but notice how sharp his jawline was, I felt that if I'd touch it, it would cut my finger. I sucked in again and bit the inside of my lip to wake myself up from the trance.
"Well, it said in the booklet that the housing offered extremely friendly atmosphere, but I could have never expected this ." The man exclaimed while fingering me up and down. I felt my cheeks burning up, finally regaining control over my body I threw myself in the bathroom and stuck my head out.
"I really don't know what is going on right now. Why are you here? " I inquired as calmly as possible, but the tremble in my voice gave me away.
"I live here. I just moved." He explained calmly, as if this were the most obvious thing in the world. His voice echoed on the room walls, making me shiver from the absurdity of his words.
"You can't live here, my roommate lives here, her name's Jimin." I tried to explain to this dimwit as clearly as possible. He started laughing. I couldn't help but think how melodic his laugh sounded. Get a hold of yourself Kieran. "I don't know where you got the idea that I am a girl, but I am Park Jimin. Nice to meet you, roommate." He said still laughing and shifted his body to the side to see mine better.
"I don't understand.. how can you be Jimin.. How could I have been roomed up with a man? " Without even noticing I started to ramble. I clutched the bathroom towel tighter as his stare felt like it was piercing through the walls.
"Darling, this is not a gender restrictive university housing. No rooms are assigned to a specific gender, people are just thrown into the rooms by chance and nothing else. Or if you want it to sound better, I guess you could even say, by fate." Jimin winked and shifted his body even more, while I kept pulling myself back into the bathroom. I cursed under my breath and closed the doors, still hearing him laughing. Shit... This makes no sense, absolutely no sense. I grabbed my phone and started to google, how could I have missed this information? I went through their webpage several times a day while I was waiting for the semester to start, and I never noticed that the housing was not gender restrictive?! When the page loaded I started to look for any information about it. Nothing was written anywhere regarding the rooming of separate genders, until my eye caught an icon at the very top right of the page. The unisex symbol. It was always there, a goddamn unisex symbol and I didn't know.
"Yeah, no way in hell am I rooming with a man." I whispered to myself and started to dress up. I quickly brushed through my hair to untangle it and went outside of the bathroom. "Oh, that's sad." Jimin remarked. "I liked the previous outfit better." He added smirking. "Shut up and move out of my way. I'm going to the information desk." I pushed him and stomped out. I barely heard him say something about lack of space, but I didn't stop to listen. I rushed down the stairs, barely controlling myself from jumping around to make shortcuts.
"Hi! " I yelled approaching the desk lady. "It just so happens, that I'm sharing a room with a man." I explained expecting a reaction from her, but she simply had a puzzled look that screamed "and?". "And I would like to be paired with a girl, please. I do not want to spend four years with a man I don't even know. " I insisted, but her face remained unfazed.

Romantik"Ever since Jimin left, I've been sleeping alone. I couldn't say that I hated it, but there was some sort of discomfort staying at a new place, absolutely alone, especially when I started to get used to him being near. Back home if I had a nightmare...
