Dohee stood up from her bed, a slight sigh leaving her mouth as she walked towards the bathroom. She placed a headband on her head and started brushing her teeth while humming a random melody.

She spat out the the tooth paste and washed her mouth with water. After she was done she left her tooth brush into a cup on the sink and splashed her face with warm water.

Her eyes gazed at her reflection in the mirror and she quickly closed her eyes, pulling a towel from the side and drying her face. She then walked back to her room, greeting a few girls she met on her way.

Upon her arrival she changed into her school uniform and brushed her hair, braiding it soon after. She put a hairband over her head and smiled slightly at the mirror.

The girl put on her jacket and took the bag from besides her desk. "Oh wait!" She stopped and walked back towards her nighstand, taking all her money with her.

Doyoung's birthday was nearing and she wanted to buy him a gift as soon as possible. She put on her shoes and after locking the doors, walked towards school.

Her trip to school was quick as always and in no time she was sitting in the far corner of her classroom, right next to Jaehyuk. "Morning!" She greeted him with a wide smile and he followed the action.

Soon the class filled with other students and the teacher came, starting the lesson. Somewhere mid the lesson Jaehyuk turned towards Dohee and tapped her shoulder, making her flinch at the sudden contact. "I was thinking if you wanted to have lunch with me and a friend?"

He smiled at her, making her gasp slightly. "I would love to but I always sit with my brother and friends, sorry." The boy nodded in understanding. "It's okay, don't worry."

"How about you guys sit with us?" She asked and the other smiled at her. "Sure, let me just ask my friend." He said and fished out his phone, typing something soon after. His face lit up upon getting the reply and he nodded at her.

"He would also like to have lunch with you guys."

"Great! We can meet him at the school yard while going to cafeteria." Dohee said and Jaehyuk agreed with her.

Some time later the class was over and students quickly made their way out of the classroom, leaving the two behind. "He's waiting at the bench." Jaehyuk said as they made their way through the halls.

Upon arriving to the school yard a guy got up from the bench and walked towards the two with a big smile. "Hello!" He greeted the girl to which she returned the greeting. "I'm Bang Yedam."

"Nice to meet you Yedam, I'm Kim Dohee." She also introduced herself and the three made their way towards the cafeteria. Upon seeing her with two unfamiliar boys her brother furrowed his eyebrows. 

"Hey guys, this are Jaehyuk and this is Yedam." Dohee said as she pointed at each of the boys. "They will be sitting with us today!" She explained and the three boys at the table nodded their heads, moving slightly to make space for the two boys to sit.

Just as they sat down the speakers started working and the principal's voice came through. "Attention students, I have to share with you some bad news." He started, making most of the students stiffen up.

"Unfortunately there's been a fire in the girl's dorm. I ask everyone from hall 7C to contact their homeroom teachers by the time your classes end so we can make a deal about your residence for a while."

The girl's eyes widened upon realising her room is in the mentioned hall. "Oh man holy shit!!" She yelled out, breaking the silence and soon after the whole cafeteria broke down in whispers.

Dohee walked into her homeroom teacher's office just as two other girl's walked out. She smiled slightly at them and stood in front of her teacher.

"Hello sir, I'm here because of the residence matter." She said while bowing and the teaher nodded his head, motioning her to sit down. "Wait for a moment, I've got to check some things." She did as told and played with her bracelet.

"Ah, I thought so." He said, making the girl look at him. "Unfortunately there's no space in girls dorm anymore. That means you will have to share your room with a boy. Is that going to be a problem?"

"No sir. I wouldn't mind sharing the room with my brother." Dohee said but her teacher shook his head. "I'm sorry but your brother's room is full already."

"I don't mind sleeping on their couch." She added, biting the inside of her cheek anxiously. "I'm sorry Dohee but you can't sleep in your brother's room."

A disappointed 'oh' left her mouth while the teacher typed something in his computer. "You will be rooming with Hamada Asahi. He's your year and his room is not too far away from your brother's."

"Okay." She bowed slightly. "Go to the boys dorm and ask the teacher at the entrance for keys and directions if needed." Mr. Jung explained and the girl slightly nodded her head. "Also, I'm sorry for the things that were lost in the fire."

"It's okay sir, I didn't even bring much stuff with me as I mostly don't wear clothes other than my school uniform and pajamas." She said with a slight chuckle. "I'll go now. Thank you sir."

Dohee left the office and walked towards the dorms, taking a turn towards the boys dorms. She took a deep breathe in and knocked on the doors of the care taker teacher.

"Excuse me, I'm Kim Dohee. I need the keys of my new room." She explained and the woman nodded, handing her the keys. "Room 5 in hall 3B." Dohee took the keys and was about to walk away after saying bye but the woman stopped her.

"Just, don't bother him much." The teacher said and the girl nodded slowly, slightly confused. "I'll do my best." The older smiled at her to which she returned the action, walking away towards her new room.

Her legs stopped moving in front of the doors and her hands gripped the straps of her backpack. She took a deep breathe in and knocked on the doors. Footsteps were heard, the door unlocked and a head peeked out.

"Uh, hello?" The boy said with a slightly confused face. "Ah, hello. I'm Kim Dohee, my room was trashed in the fire that happened at girls dorm so I will be rooming with you for some time." 

The boy nodded slowly, moving slightly to the side to let her in. The room was small but comfortable. It wasn't quite messy for a guy. It had led lights on the lower parts of the walls - making the room look warm.

There was a bunk bed pressed against the wall and a big closet at it's foot. The lower bed was messy with the sheets messily placed in one corner. Meanwhile the upper bed was neat, the sheets were clean and nicely placed. It was practically untouched.

There was also a desk with a computer on top of it with many papers scattered around. Curiosity took over her so she made her way over; the papers were filled with music notes and lyrics. Many crumbled pieces of paper laid in the trash bin next to it.

He cleared his throat from behind her, dissatisfied with her snooping around his stuff. "Ah yes, sorry." She apologised quickly, walking away from the desk. "Your bed is the upper one, you can take the other half of the closet for your clothes."

"Okay, thank you." She smiled at the boy but he just nodded his head slightly and sat on his bed, putting in his earphones and listening to music or he just wanted her to not speak to him.
