"So you're telling me, you had a crush on me?" Hyunsuk asked with wide eyes, slightly tipsy after opening the third bottle of soju (which he drunk most of).

"Yes." Dohee replied, a sligh hiccup leaving her mouth as she pushed a spoonfull of ice cream into her mouth, finishing the box. "And you dropped the feelings for a guy you barely know?"

"Yes." A drunk chuckle left her mouth and the boy face palmed. "But if I got over you so easily that means that I didn't even like you in the first place."

"Thank you, that really makes me feel better." He left a sarcastic remark while the girl tried her best to stand up without falling. "But let me finish." She said after finally standing up and hiccuped slightly.

"So after I walked out of the store I saw them hugging. He even wrapped his hands around her!!" She sniffled slightly and threw herself back on the couch. "I hate my life." Her voice was muffled by the pillow her head dropped on.

The older patted her back slightly before getting up and leaving the bottles in a plastic bag which was filled with other bottles. "It's the best if you go back to your room before Doyoung comes back. He'll kill me for getting your drunk."

"I'm not drunk!" She immediately yelled, sitting up straight. "I just lost my remaining braincells." He chuckled at her behaviour. "What braincells?"

"Sir, I'll kick your ass."

"Come on, let's get you back to your room." Hyunsuk said as he pulled her hand, dragging her towards the doors but she protested, not wanting to move an inch. "I'm not going back!!"

"Dohee, this is an order."

"YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER!!"

"Dohee, please."

"But I don't want to see him. Now or ever again!" Dohee loudly sighed, embracing the older into a tight hug. "Tomorrow is a better day and maybe he's already asleep so you can just go to sleep and not talk to him or something."

"Maybe. Oh wait is it already this late? Where's Dobby?" He eyes filled with worry as she saw it was already past midnight and her brother still didn't come back.

"He's having a sleepover with Haruto or something, I wasn't in the mood to actually read the message properly. Jihoon went back home for the weekend, it's his mother's birthday."

"Oh yes, I should call him to congratulate her." The girl smiled and reached in her pocket to take her phone but Hyunsuk quickly pulled her out of the room and towards her own.

"You can call her tomorrow, now you've got to go to sleep." He said in a hushed tone, not to get caught by the teacher watching over the dorm.

"Okay, I'll go by myself from here, you go back to your room." She whispered out and started walking back to her room, almost tripping as she did so but quickly balanced and turned around to look at the boy, giving him thumbs up with a big smile.

"Fuck, I don't have my keys." She face palmed and slid down the doors, not wanting to have any kind of communication with her roommate.

She leaned her head on the doors and closed her eyes, slightly drifting to sleep before the doors yanked back and she went flying. Her eyes looked up at the boy who howered above her with a raised brow.

Their eyes locked and they stood like that for some time before she sat up and held the back of her head in pain. Asahi helped her get up and that was when he felt the smell of alcohol coming from her clothes.

"Did you get drunk?" He asked and she gasped slightly. "How dare you accuse me of such wrong doings! I would never dare to do so!"

A sigh left his mouth as he helped her walk towards the beds but as she was too drunk to climb up the ladder he just let her lay down on his bed. "If your throw up I'm kicking you out."

"You don't have a say in that." She mumbled and starfish laid on the bed, looking up at the bed above her. Meanwhile her roommate locked the doors and sat down at his usual place, working on his music without paying attention to his surroundings.

"Will you ever let me listen to what you're working on?" Dohee asked but got no reply as he completely ignored her question. "Yeah, just ignore me. That's nothing new coming from you."

A small frown formed on her lips as she turned towards the wall and pulled the blanket over herself, only her eyes peeking. She closed her eyes as his scent infiltrated her senses.

Both of them kept quiet, the only sound being the sound of him clicking. She slowly started drifting off to sleep when a sweet melody started playing from the computer and she turned her head to look at the boy who leaned his head on the seat and looked at the ceiling.

"You made that?" The girl asked and Asahi mumbled a yes. "I didn't want anyone to hear before I was done."

She let out a slight 'oh' and turned her whole body to look at her roommate who had his eyes closed while enjoying the music. "It's really good."

"Thank you."

A small frown formed on her lips as she realised she's stealing his bed so she slowly got up. "Where are you going?" He eyed her and she just shrugged. "Going to chill in my bean bag." She replied before plopping on it.

"This is such a comfortable place for sleeping, I should sleep here more often. Oh, you can sleep in your bed, I'll sleep here." She pointed at the bean bag on which she was sitting and he raised a brow. "Yeah."

"If you say so." He mumbled and moved to his bed, pulling the blanket over his body. "Aren't you cold?"

"Nah." She said and closed her eyes.

Half an hour later she let out a loud groan, got up from her seat and tried climbing up the ladder but failed miserably when she fell on the floor with a loud thump, making her roommate wake up.

"Fuck." She whispered as she sat up and stratched her back. The boy sighed and pulled her by her hand, making her fall down on his bed. "Sleep here."

"With you?" Her eyes widened and he face palmed. "I won't do anything to you." He said and moved a pillow from under his head to put between them two. "Good night Dohee." He said and turned his back towards her.

She stood frozen on spot with blush spreading over her cheeks as she quickly hid her face in the pillow and closed her eyes, falling asleep not too long after.
