Roommates ~ Red son x mk

Gone

MK'S POV

"Red Son, wait," I call out as he runs down the hall and out the door. I hear him start his car and drive off. I fall to my knees. I don't even care that I'm stuck here, that he was my ride and he just left me. All I care about is that he's gone. He's gone and I never got to explain myself.

"Hey, you ok?" Mei asks from behind me.

"No," I respond as I shed a tear.

"What happened?" She asks.

"It's a long story,"

"I have time. Let's get lunch,"

"Lunch?" I check the time. It's 12 already. And suddenly I'm aware of my pounding head and broken liver. I feel woozy.

"Let's go," she says, already walking to the garage.

I barley stumble after her, fighting the pounding in my head. We get into her car, and drive down the road.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"This cafe. It's called Cafe Rosé," she replies.

We walk into the restaurant and I'm struck by the smell of sweet pastries and coffee. We sit down at a table for two by a window. A waiter walks by.

"Hi, my names Tim and I'll be serving you," he says.

"Hi Tim," I say with a small smile.

"Here are some menus," he says as he places the papers on our table.

"Thanks," Mei says.

I look at the menus, and my head spins. I fight through the throbbing in my head to see some of the options. I order coffee and strawberry pancakes. Mei orders a Frappuccino and caramel waffles. Tim leaves, and we sit in silence.

"So, are you gonna tell me what happened?" Mei finally says.

"So basically I told him I wasn't gay because I thought he wouldn't like me but I like him and I think he liked me so then we went to this party and both got drunk because we were sad and then he kissed me and next think I know I'm waking up with him," I say in a hurry.

"That's...a lot," Mei says, fiddling with her napkin.

"Yeah, it's kinda a mess, and the worst part is he's my roommate," I say.

"Ugh, that's gonna be awkward," she winces.

"Here's your food," Tim says as he places down our plates and coffee, "do you happen to be students at UC Kingsley? We have a student discount."

"Yeah, we both attend," Mei says.

"That's great, what do you major in?"

"Music," I say.

"That's cool, I do too," Tim says.

"Cool," I respond.

"See you around...?"

"MK,"

"See you around, MK."

I smile, feeling a little less terrible.

"Looks like you move on fast," Mei says with a smirk.

I immediately feel terrible again. "Ew, no, he's not even my type."

"Suit yourself," Mei says, digging into her waffles.

I drink my coffee. The pancakes are amazing. I almost feel like myself. We finish, and Mei takes me back to the dorms.

I walk up the stairs and make my way to my room. I open the door to see all the furniture gone. The room is empty, spare one piece of paper on the ground. I read it.

Dear MK,

I'm very sorry for my actions. I can't apologize enough for my actions, and I know you don't want to be friends, so instead I moved out. Thanks for being my roommate.

-Red Son

There are tear stains on the paper, some from me and some from him. I can't believe it. He's gone. I check his room. Sure enough, it's empty.

I can't do anything right. I can't even keep a friendship for two weeks. It's my fault this all happened. If I had not been such a coward, if I had just told him, he wouldn't have left. He would be here and I would be happy.

But he's not here. And I'm not happy.
