Malcolm's POV
We were sitting in our usual spot on the couches until Changbin quickly stood up from his seat and we looked to see why he did and stood up as well, not long after.
We bowed as the principal came towards our spot and we stood to face him.
"There was a theft on the dorm?" He asked and we all looked at each other.
"How do you know about that?" I asked.
"Mr. Han called me this morning" He replied and pointed at Han.
"Han, what went missing?" The principal asked and faced him.
"My shampoo went missing" Han replied making the atmosphere silent as the principal looked at him with disbelief.
"What? Shampoo? That's all?" The principal scoffed.
"I mean, it's not what it was, but that there was a theft at the dorm" The principal said and Han nodded.
"Well, I'm sure we'll be able to catch the thief. So just stay alert, okay?" The principal said and we nodded before he left.
"See, I told you that you shouldn't suspect your friends like that" Changbin scolded as soon as the principal was gone.
I sighed as I felt responsible for this. We all went back and sat down on the seat.
"You didn't even ask around" Seungmin said.
Changbin left and we continued talking but he came back sooner than we thought.
"Yah! Someone stole the last Samyang I had" Changbin complained as he went back to us.
"Samyang? What about it?" Seungmin asked.
"I was saving that for later. There's really a thief among us" He scoffed.
"He's dead if I catch him" He said.
Minju's POV
I left my room and was walking towards my next class. A guy stared at me as he passed me before he stopped walking.
"Wait!" He called which made me stop and look at him.
"You're Chaewon's new roommate, right?" He smiled.
"Yes, so?" I asked and looked at him with a blank face.
"Nice to meet you. I live on the third floor too, I'm Hangyul" He smiled and held out his hand.
"Um...okay" I said and it made him awkwardly pull away his hand.
"Well, let's be friends. What about a selca to commemorate this moment" He said as he quickly pulled out his phone and went next to me and prepared to take a photo.
"Sorry, I don't like taking photos" I said and put his hand down.
He looked at me with a confused face.
"Well...then, what's your number?" He asked and was prepared to type it out.
"I-Uh...Haven't memorized my Korean number yet and I forgot my phone. Sorry" I bowed walked off.
-Time Skip-
I was heading back to the dorm and saw Malcolm going towards my direction.
"Hey, Minju!" He called and I looked at him as he closed his umbrella.
"Did you just get off work?" I asked.
"Yes. Hey, be careful" He said as we stopped in the middle of the hallway.
"There might be a thief in the dorm" He explained and looked at me.
"No way" I said.
"You can't say that. You can never know with people" He said as he looked around at our surroundings suspiciously before going close to me.
"I think Chaeyeon is the most suspicious" He whispered.
"Why? Chaeyeon-unnie seems nice-" I defended.
"Jeez. This kept happening ever since she started showing off her new sweater. There's alot that's suspicious" He whispered.
"She said she could never get that particular sweater ever again. I think she stole it" He finished.
"No, I gave that to her" I said.
"Eh? Why? For free?" He asked with a shocked face.
"Yes, she knew that I went to the ER because I fainted. So I told her to keep quiet" I said.
"That's why you gave her the expensive sweater?" He scoffed and I nodded.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you remember how much you owe me?" He asked, disappointed.
"Y'know, Minju-yah. You could've sold them online. They would've sold instantly" He whined and I just looked at him.
"Take them back. Tell her to return them. Now" He said as he sighed.
"H-How could I take back what I gave?" I asked.
"No? Then, I'll take it from her" He said.
As if right on cue, Chaeyeon appeared with the sweater in her hands.
"Chaeyeon! We need that-" Malcolm said.
"Out of the way! Talk to me later!" She said quickly as she pushed Malcolm to the side a little too hard while I moved out of the way.
"She knows" Malcolm said as we watched her run off.
"Looks like we have to-" He started was about to follow after her but I stopped him.
"Okay! I-I'll talk to her tomorrow" I cut him off.
"You have to" He said.
"Okay" I replied.
"But you have to stop telling people I went to the ER" I said and he looked at me confused.
"Why?" He asked.
"Why else? It's embarassing" I answered.
"But...Fine. I got it now. Go" He said and we both went our separate ways.
Malcolm's POV
I was about to head back to my dorm but I stopped when I heard someone called me.
"Malcolm!" I heard as I turned towards the voice.
"Hangyul? What is it?" I asked as he came towards me.
"Come with me" He said and I followed him.
"So...you're close with the new girl, huh?"
