Roommates | NCT Doyoung

one

Doyoung walked out of his room, having a banging headache as usual after kicking the girl out of his apartment.

His room was a mess but he didn't care. He went to the kitchen and cooked some food from himself. As he opened the fridge, he realized he needed to go grocery shopping in which he made note of that.

"This headache fucking sucks." Doyoung complained as he was half-awake and rubbing his head with one hand at the same time while the other hand was gathering the ingredients to make his breakfast.

After making his breakfast and cleaning it up, he slumped on the couch, playing some television. He heard the door ring, groaning and tilting his head back he didn't feel like picking up the door.

Who would be coming to my place this hour?

Doyoung opened his front door, revealing Taeyong who tilted his head to see how messy Doyoung's hair was but knowing Doyoung, Taeyong already figured out the event from last night.

"I see that you've gotten another one at your place." Taeyong stated calmly as Doyoung simply rolled his eyes, letting his friend in.

Doyoung and Taeyong sat on the couch, with the TV playing in the background. "So, what brings you here Taeyong?" Doyoung's voice was a bit croaked but still got to the point.

"My cousin needs a roommate." Taeyong told Doyoung which made Doyoung narrow his eyebrows.

"So how is that my problem Taeyong?" Doyoung questioned him, wondering why he would propose an offer.

"You see my friend, you're the only one who has a spare room. Jaehyun, Jungwoo, and Alice are full. My place is full too. She's literally sleeping on the couch." Doyoung interrupted Taeyong, choking on air realizing what he just said.

"She?" Doyoung made a disgusted face, probably because the aftermath of alcohol was kicking in.

"Yeah... I know it's not the most ideal but she can help you pay rent but also your rooms are on the other side of the apartment so it's easier for you girls to not interact and stuff... Also, it would be nice for a change to have someone because.." Taeyong was about to choose his words more wisely but stopped because Doyoung shot him a death glare.

"Don't talk about it." Doyoung huffed his breath in bitterness. "I know what you're going to say."

"Well... okay but she'll move in probably the second week of school starts. I'm just offering her my place for now because she needs to get the hang of Korea. But also Jena doesn't wanna overstay her welcome and doesn't want to sleep on a couch for long." Taeyong explained to Doyoung, who seemed more confused on where she came from. "She's from America."

Doyoung simply took a heavy breath, reluctant to agreeing and giving Taeyong a nod. "I'll do it but can I at least know her name so that I don't call her Aera or something. Hate to break it to Mark but... yeah..."

"Her name is Lee Jena, or Jenna Lee." Taeyong gave that information to Doyoung who's eyes suddenly widened out of curiousity. "Also we call Aera by Erin, don't forget." Taeyong let out a laugh.

Lee Jena? Have I heard that somewhere before? Probably not, I'm just overthinking.

"Okay thanks for a roommate I guess, but I hope she's not a mean and rude girl." Doyoung seethed in his tone where Taeyong looked a little hesitant, giving some weird gestures. Doyoung stared deeply into him. "Are you serious, Taeyong?"

"I can say Jena can come off as mean at first when you know her because I think she just has a lot going on. I don't know her that well too because I haven't seen her in years but I guess you can say she's sensitive..." Taeyong spoke in a smaller tone.
