Hold Me Tight (Completed) ✔️

Chapter 10

"Sis, this is Kim Seokjin, your roommate." Oh no, Mr. Kim. Alright, imma yeet myself out of here.

"Eliza?" I could see from his face that he was equally shook like me. He ran his hand through his hair which was styled back.

"Mr. Kim. I didn't know it was gonna be you." I walked towards both the figures across me.

"You guys know each other?" Evan was surprised hearing us. We sat on the couch. This is going to be one hell of a talk.

"Yeah obviously. He's my professor, Evan." I croaked fiddling with the phone on my hand.

"Ohh, you work in the business department of the University. I thought you were from the other campus." My brother was hella confused.

"No, I'm also from the same campus as Eliza." Mr. Kim spoke who was silent all this time.

"Didn't you have any idea about him?" Great going Evan, how the heck did you not look into more details.

"No. One of my friends told me about Seokjin. Since he was a professor I actually expected an older guy. No offence Seokjin. And also I didn't think he was from the main campus."

"Wow great." I face palmed and I could hear Mr. Kim chuckling.

"Can you guys adjust? Because I really won't be able to find a new place within a short span of time." He spoke sincerely.

"That's not a problem at all. You can stay here. It's just people might think in a negative way, you know?" I knew my brother wouldn't ask him to move out. After all we are in no position to ask him to do that.

"Yeah, I know. Maybe we don't have to tell anyone." Mr. Kim suggested.

"I guess that's the only thing we can do. We can forget the fact that we are roommates once we step foot in the Uni." I agreed. I don't know why we have to worry about what others think. But I understand that if something goes wrong, people will get the wrong idea and could harm us. So it's better to stay this way.

We ordered poutine and some butter tarts for dessert. After about fifteen minutes we recieved the ordered food. We all went to the dining table. Now I entered the room I remembered that I didn't take a house tour. All this drama got me carried away from my main purpose. Maybe after lunch I should do it.

"Eliza, have you been here before?" Mr. Kim spoke while mixing the poutine. I chewed fastly to speak coz my mouth was full.

"Nope. This is my first time here. I landed just few days back. How long have you been here?"

"About six years."

"Ohh that's really long. My brother was here about the same time too." Sudden mention of him made him stop from eating. I surpressed a laugh at his widened eyes and stuffed mouth.

"Aah bro that reminds me, where's my baby?" At the mention of 'my baby' I heard Mr. Kim choke on his food. Did he really think I had a baby?

"She meant my kid. Her nephew." My brother spoke, I think he doubted the same too. "Jenna had a meeting set and it's through online, so they both had to stay." He looked at me.

"Ohh I miss Jayden and Jenna too. We both haven't talked in a while. I miss our talk that took ages." I quoted with my fingers up.

"She wanted to meet you too."

"And what about Jayden? Did he forget me? It's been a while since I video called you guys." He's only two and I can't afford him forgetting me.

"I don't think he's ever gonna forget you. Your face has left a lot of impression on him. One night he even cried telling he wanted to meet you."

Wow, did that kid really like me that much. He made my day. I miss him more now.

"You are married and have a kid? You look so...young?" Mr. Kim spoke after a long while, I forgot that he is here and we might have left him in the dark.

Evan laughed at his comment, "I got married pretty early. Fell in love and realised Jenna was the one. Didn't wait a moment and proposed."

"Yaah now don't start talking about your love story we already have a lot of cheese on the food." I slapped his shoulder lightly but pretty loudly, earning a pinch on my ear from him.

"Aahh..aahh. I quit. I surrender." I yelled flapping my arms in the air. Mr. Kim was cracking up seeing our playfulness.
