When Yanan walked into his dorm the next morning after his night shift, he had gotten a text message.
"Hello, we would like to inform you that you're room will be changed. Due to unexpected circumstances, one of our students has left the college so you will be rooming with his roommate. Your room number is now 517 (pentagons have five sides, and seventeen) so please move into that room as soon as possible." The text message said.
Yanan took his luggage and left.
"Ugh this is so inconvenient. If it weren't for my night shift, I would've already unpacked which would've been so annoying. This luggage is so heavy." Yanan thought to himself as he was heaving his luggage towards room 517.
He finally reached the door and got to put his luggage down for a bit while taking out the key in the pouch attached to the door handle. As he opened the door he saw Wonwoo crying, while hugging a picture of Mingyu. He'd finally realised that because of Mingyu's death, Wonwoo would be his roommate.
"This is my chance to get revenge of Minghao. Wonwoo and I could team up to get revenge on Minghao, to give him what he deserves." Yanan thought to himself.
However, in the moment he felt very bad for Wonwoo, he understood his pain since he'd experienced something similar. The time when Junhui had jumped and was in hospital was an extremely painful time for him even though he actually hated Junhui that time, since he was caught in a misunderstanding caused by Minghao. However, Wonwoo loved Mingyu then, and their relationship was going strong. That's when Mingyu had to pass away. Yanan could at least have some hope that Junhui would still be alive and they could see each other again but Mingyu was gone forever. He needed to help Wonwoo and make sure he was okay before he could do anything else,
"Wonwoo!!" Yanan screamed and he dumped his luggage in the entry and pounced onto the sofa pulling Wonwoo into a hug.
"Yanan, you're my new roommate, what a coincidence. I'm sorry you have to see me like this, I'll show you to your room and make lunch since you'll get hungry after moving." Wonwoo croakily whimpered while trying to free himself from Yanan's embrace.
"Don't worry, I've experienced something similar, I know how it feels. Right now you need comfort, the comfort that Mingyu was supposed to give you. I know this is like replacing a mansion with a dingy apartment but at least it's something. I'll be here by your side through these hard times, we'll get through this together. Even though it may not seem like it, everything is going to be okay." Confidently announced while pulling Wonwoo closer to him.
"If you want to share anything with me please go ahead whenever your ready and if you don't that's fine. You do whatever you want to make you feel better, even if it's crying your eyes out for hours." Yanan continued.
"Thank you so much. We barely know each other and you're already doing so much for me. I'll return the favor in any way you like." Wonwoo whispered, quietly but sincerely.
"Do you want to talk about this now or do you want to get your mind off it somehow," Yanan patiently asked.
"I think I need to let out my emotions. When this happened I was completely broken, Mingyu was the only thing I cared about, with him I could do anything, even if I had the rest of the world against me, I could get through it as long as Mingyu was with me. I don't know what to do about this and I'm really struggling to face the reality of never being able to see him again. I didn't even get to comfort him after the whole Minghao incident which was what killed him or even say goodbye. I wanted to go die as well so the distance between us can be reduced and I can be with him when he's dead. However, I realised that I couldn't just die and end things like that, I couldn't leave his death alone like it was nothing, I needed to avenge it since that's what Mingyu would've wanted. If it weren't for Minghao, this would've never happened, I will do whatever it takes to make Minghao's life a living hell, he needs to feel Mingyu's pain in order to regret his actions. I will kill, I will die, I will do anything as long as it's for Mingyu." Wonwoo ranted, getting more and more confident and aggressive with his words as he spoke.
