Autophobia || Jakehoon

Before dragging all his stuff up the flights of stairs, Jake wanted to check if anyone else was currently at the apartment. This theory was proved right when he saw various boxes laying outside, and the door wide open, signalling his roommate had already begun unpacking.

He hesitated for a moment, nerves getting the better of him. Taking a deep breath he mentally slapped himself.

Get it together Jake, It's just a person, who's apparently nice!

He carefully took a step inside the apartment, before heading to the main living room, more boxes lay across the floor of the completely empty rooms, his footsteps echoing slightly due to the lack of furnishing. It would take a while to get this place homely.
A voice behind him suddenly echoed, startling the blonde. He immediately turned to the direction of the source.

"Uhm, can I help?" A tall boy says, in a deep monotone tone.

Jake's brain circuited for a second as he looked over at the other, he was incredibly handsome. Now, he had seen Sunghoon from his profile on social media, but nothing would prepare him for how breathtaking he looked in real life. He noticed how fair and pale his skin was, which greatly suited his complexion and jet black hair. Moles laid perfectly situated across his face. He had a nose which could only be described as perfect. And to top it off, he was tall, definitely reaching into the 6ft or taller.
Realising he had yet to reply, Jake panicked a little before bowing.

"Oh, hi I'm Jake, nice to meet you. Sunghoon, right?" He introduces himself, a little embarrassed, before looking back up and meeting his roommate's gaze again. Said boy politely bowed back before answering.

"Yup that's me, I didn't realise you were coming yet, sorry for startling you." He sheepishly apologises.

"Ah, no it's fine, I'm a little jumpy." He shyly replies looking down to the floor. Jake had never been too good at socialisation since he moved to Korea, always weary of his accent after countless teasing and pestering by classmates when he first moved here. A silence overcame them for a minute, causing the Aussie to tense up. "Uhm, I'll go start bringing my stuff up." He states, before starting to make his way back out the apartment.

Sunghoon only nod as a response, eyes following as Jake left. The same neutral expression plastered his face. He had to admit, he was a little intimidated in the taller's presence. He had a pretty intense resting face causing a stern atmosphere. He was sure he'd warm up eventually, but for now, he passed Sunghoon down the stairs to the car to begin moving up his boxes.

His brother had agreed to come along and help tomorrow if he needed, which Jake greatly appreciated. He was already exhausted from dragging boxes to the car from his house. It was only 12pm yet he already felt like passing out in bed! Talk about low energy. Groaning as he grabbed the first few boxes, with much more to collect tomorrow, he made his way back up.
