"If you don't hurry the fuck up, I swear I'm going to leave you!!!" Yibo screamed from the living room of his friend's house.

"Man, are you that excited to check on your new dorm? Your appointment is at 2 pm and it's only 11 am!" Seung-Youn said as he walked to the couch where his grouchy friend was waiting, browsing his phone.

"Took you forever to fix yourself?" Yibo glared at Seung-Youn.

"Hah? Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Handsome, unlike you who just need to brush his hair with his fingers, I need to fix other things on my face."

They both laughed at the exaggerated response and made their way to the parking lot where Yibo left his car.

"Oh, I thought you brought your bike"

"What made you think I'd let you ride in it?" Yibo sarcastically asked.

"Well, no harm in trying."

-------------

"What do you mean it was given to another?! I made a reservation and even confirmed it last night!" Yibo was fuming mad at the representative of the dorm he was supposed to pay for the lease today.

"We are very sorry Mr. Wang, our staff made a mistake in the listing and wasn't able to cross out that unit although it had been taken. We apologize about that." explained the representative.

"That's bullsh-" Yibo was about to rage but Seung-Youn managed to stop him.

"Let me talk to them, Bo, come on. Nothing will be resolved even if you keep screaming the whole day."

"But this is ridiculous! Youn, My contract will end this Sunday, I need to find a place in 6 fucking days! I stopped looking when they confirmed and then this??"

"I know. Just, let me deal with them, okay? Why don't you wait at the coffee shop around the corner, drink something cold and eat too."

Yibo looked at his friend, still pissed at the situation, before he finally decided to leave the admin office and went to the said coffee shop.

He ordered a frappe and a burger, then occupied the seat by the glass window where he waited for Youn.

*Ping*

He received an email which at first he thought of ignoring, but when he saw the sender's name...

From: DCB Admin

Good day, Yibo!

We are pleased to inform you that a host requested your profile and we had an inkling that the two of you could be a good match. Attached is his profile, please let us know if you are interested and we will release your info to the requester.

We wish you good days.

Yibo checked the attached files. This wasn't the first time he used this site so he already knows how it works, the only difference is, he chose to be the guest this time instead of the host that he had done twice prior.

He was surprised to see the profile of the host, he knew the guy, not personally but this guy is quite famous among women in his college department.

Woah! Never in my imagination, I'd see you here, Yibo thought.

Wichapas Sumettikul a.k.a Bible. He hadn't had the pleasure of getting acquainted with him but surely, he is one hot human. Smart too.

Yibo felt his pants tighten around the crotch area just by thinking that Bible picked him. He replied to the email giving his consent to release his full profile.

Crossing fingers he'd like what he sees in there.

"...so told them they better search for a replacement. Hey! Are you even listening??" Youn snapped his fingers in front of Yibos face.

"What the fuck, when did you get here?" Yibo asked annoyed.

"Bro, I've been here awhile talking. I thought you noticed me because you even looked at me. Jesus." reached for the burger to which Yibo swatted his hand off.

"Order your own. Here, use my card."

Youn was about to go to the counter to order when he noticed someone passed by on the other side of the glass window.

He grabbed Yibos' arm, who was busy with his phone and gestured to look outside.

Yibo did and man, what a sight.

"Have you talked to him?" Youn asked

"No. What business do I have to talk with him?" Yibo replied.

"I don't know, ask him if he wants to learn to dance. He is in the Arts and Music department, anyway."

"He sings not dance." Yibo continued while maintaining his eyes on the person who now entered the cafe.

"Jeff! Jeffy, here!"

Yibo searched for the other person who called on the name of the person he was eyeing.

"It's Perth, his best friend. Don't fret because they are pure platonic, like us." Youn said assuring.

"And you know that because?"

"Perth and I had partnered on game streaming and talked about things. Of course, I managed to ask about Jeff, knowing about your forever crush on the guy." Youn said proudly.

"Shut up! They might hear you."

"Jeez, whatever, I'm hungry." Youn left Yibo in his seat to order food.

Yibo started eating while secretly staring at Jeff from time to time.

Jeff is the top student in the Arts and Music college department, with immaculate beauty and an angelic voice. The first time Yibo saw him was during their last term of freshman year, and since then, he always had this crush on the guy.

Yibo is known, not only in the College of Liberal Arts but in the whole university, as a handsome, rich, and smart guy. He could probably just choose amongst men and women who come after him. But he doesn't dare approach Jeff.

There is just something about the shy and reserved personality of Jeff that scares him.

It looks as if the guy is so innocent of any worldly carnal desire. It makes Yibo back off and feral at the same time.

Perth looked past Jeff, who sat in front of him.

"Is he staring?" Jeff asked Perth.

"Hmm, a bit."
