"So, when does your next class start? I don't want you to be late or anything." Joshua said as he led Jimin to his residence hall. Jimin had met Joshua back in February during a college visit and had quickly exchanged numbers upon realizing they were both accepted into the Honors College, already planning on being study buddies for at least their freshman year. They had also originally discussed being roommates in the honors dorms, but the both of them ultimately decided to room in the residential colleges for their majors, Jimin in Cypress Hall with Taehyung and the other students in the College of Human Sciences & Education, and Joshua in Broussard Hall with the other students in the College of Music & Dramatic Arts.

"Not until 1:30, so we have a couple of hours." Jimin replied, thinking of his intro to dance course, one of his two favorite courses for the semester seeing as the other three were just the necessary general education courses that he was trying to get out of the way as quickly as possible.

They had just made it through their first week of classes and the required honors course, Critical Analysis, they were in had wasted no time in jumping headfirst into the material for the semester. Due to that, the two of them had agreed to spend that Friday afternoon at Joshua's residence hall going over their notes together for the week to make sure neither of them had missed anything. After a quick stop at the Take 5, the on-campus convenience store located inside the dining hall nestled between the two boys' residence halls, to grab a couple of personal pan pizzas and some drinks for lunch, the two of them finally made it to Broussard Hall and were walking through one of the many hallways. "Let's go out to the courtyard~" Joshua suggested, as it was warm outside, and he thought studying would be more enjoyable outside rather than being locked up inside his dorm room. Jimin nodded in agreement and followed Joshua to the outside area where they soon found a spot to study at. Once they had dug into their pizzas and pulled out their notes, they began comparing them and adding bits of information that the other had while they had forgotten to write it down.

It was about an hour into their studying when a third person approached them. "Hey, Joshua~" Both 18-year olds looked up and Jimin had to actively make sure not to let his jaw drop as he saw the male standing before them. "Who's your friend?" That hadn't been what the male had come over to ask Joshua, that much was obvious, but Jimin couldn't help but feel flattered over how this attractive person wanted to know who he was.

"This is Jimin," Joshua introduced before looking at Jimin to finish off the introductions. "Jimin, this is my RA, Chanyeol." During the introduction, Jimin just stared up at the male. Of his crushes during his middle school years, all of the boys had been the ones who'd hit their growth spurts earlier than everyone else and therefore towered over the student population. It was safe to say from that that Jimin was extremely attracted to taller guys, and Chanyeol was very tall.

Chanyeol flashed a smile at Jimin and a feeling that Jimin couldn't place bubbled up in his stomach. He decided that what he was feeling was excitement over a tall, older, attractive guy paying attention to him, so he pushed the feeling down. He quickly fell into a daze as Chanyeol and Joshua conversed, attempting to subtly check the RA out. He noticed a few tattoos on him and let his gaze linger on those, wondering if he had anymore hidden under his clothes. He suddenly tuned back into the conversation as Joshua said, "I get out of choir practice at 5:30, we can get dinner then."
