And the only thing Kyungsoo's peripheral view caught was a glimpse of metallic green eyes before falling in deep dales of slumber. 

Only if I could hold you forever……..

Only if I could look in your eyes and never get tired of their beauty………

I still remember the first day I saw you……….

That moment, I slipped briskly into an intimacy from which I never recovered.

You slipped through my hands like thin sand slipping  through an hourglass's slit……….

And I……… could do nothing……….

What I have with you, I don't want with anyone else………

Cause you are the only one who SLEEPS LIKE A FUCKING SLOTH! 

The pair of mismatched eyes went wide the moment it cracked open. A demon with a big white spikey head was hovering over him. With all the strength he could muster, a fine and sharp push got released by his small frame and the spikey demon fell down on his butt. 

"Ow!" 

Oh, it's not a demon! 

Kyungsoo bounced down from his bed before sprinting towards the 'man' he had assumed to be a 'spikey demon'. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't do that on purpose!" 

The man, who was not-so surprisingly a head taller than him, waved it off. He stood up, dusted his pants, fixed his spike like hair, before greeting the smaller with a wide smile.

"Hello, I'm Kim Namjoon, your senior and your dorm mate." 

It took a few seconds for Kyungsoo to clear the fog walloping his head and simplify what just happened.

He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands in order to wipe away the remains of slumber. Once his vision cleared, his eyes scanned the monster of a man in front of him.

So this man in grey shorts and white tee with a broken alarm clock in his hand is my senior……….

"H-hi." He waved awkwardly. "I'm Kyungsoo, 17 and a senior year student." 

Namjoon's eyes widened. "I thought you were a somophore or younger." He chuckled. "I'm in my first year of university in the information and technology field." 

Scarlet had a university too but not many people opted to mark the end of their studies there or, let's just say that Scarlet didn't want anyone to finish their studies there. The entrance examinations were said to be created by Satan himself and only 6% of the total applicants were selected out of which, half were eliminated during the interview and the remaining 3% passed through the hoop.

The fact added a bit of admiration for the senior male in Kyungsoo's mind. He bowed slightly, reciting his usual chain of apologies which earned him a pat and a shake of head as response. 

"It's okay Kyungsoo-shi. I'm a cool senior, don't feel shy." He reassured. "Don't stress over these tall buildings. The school isn't what it seems to be. No one bullies anyone except the teachers." 

The younger's eyebrows twitched with curiosity. "How do you know?"

 The latter shook his head while gnawing his lip. "I……… you were trashing a lot while sleeping, so I guessed that it might be due to that. Sorry if that sounds creepy." 

Reality crumbled briskly on his head as short flashes of that ephialte banged his mind with a sudden sting of strong agony mixed with terror. That did sound creepy. The way Namjoon's metallic green eyes flashed when he said that did make his flesh crawl.
