Jihoon had always been "the quiet one" wherever he went. He's the one who chooses to sit alone at lunch and work on anything and everything.

He's always liked it that way- no one to bother him with nonsense. With that, he knew that there might be some adjustments he'd have to make when he started his freshman year in college. But nothing could have prepared him for who he's gonna have to be living with.

Jihoon was now setting up his side of the dorm room. Decorating it as closely as possible to his room back home. He organized all of his action figures on the shelves that he's installed above his desk.

Suddenly the front door swung open and suitcases fell harshly on the floor, making Jihoon flinch slightly.

"Whew! Thanks for nothing Mingyu!" Who Jihoon could only assume is his roommate- yells out, looking back at who he was telling at.

He watches as his roommate stumbles into the dorm, trying to bring in his belongings. He sighs and ultimately decides to help him out. "Thanks!" Jihoon only nods in response. "I'm Soonyoung, and you are?" Soonyoung introduces himself, flashing Jihoon a smile as he carries his things in.

Jihoon closes the door. "Jihoon," he says with an uninterested tone. "I already set everything on my side of the room." The two stand- looking at each other- for a minute, before Soonyoung breaking the silence. "What major are you?"

"Music and creative writing."

Soonyoung fixes his backpack strap, before grabbing the suitcases to take in the bedroom. "Cool! Double major. I'm in theater!"

The next few days were alright- to Jihoon's standards at least. Soonyoung was usually out of the dorm and would only be back to sleep. This was great, other than a couple awkward moments between the two, he could deal with sharing a dorm.

Jihoon opened the door and as he walked into the dorm he noticed that there was an open package on the table. He isn't the type to be nosy, but he couldn't help but be curious.

He set his backpack down and looked in the box. "Huh?" He grabbed the headband and inspected it. "Tiger ears?" He looked around and placed the headband back in the box. "It's not even close to Halloween yet.. Weird." He set it back down and shrugged.

After the two started getting more comfortable around each other- a couple weeks after the semester has started, Soonyoung started butting into Jihoon's business more.

It can't be helped when they're in the same dorm.

"Jihoonie~" Jihoon rolled his eyes, trying his best to ignore the older, but with Soonyoung.. There's no luck..

Soonyoung started poking Jihoon's cheek, repeating his name over and over again. "Jihoonie, Jihoonie, Jihoonie, Jihoon-"

"WHAT?!"

Soonyoung smiled and leaned in closer to his roommate. "Wanna see what I did to the living area?" Jihoon immediately got suspicious and worried.

What if he flooded the place?! What if he is burning it down?! What if-

Without another thought, Jihoon bolted out of the bedroom. Luckily for him, the dorm was neither flooded nor is it being burned down. What he found made his eyes widen, however.

He didn't say anything- or rather, he couldn't. He just stood there, the mastermind behind this, standing by him, waiting for a reaction.

Jihoon's eyes scanned the entire place, then turned to look at Soonyoung. "So~ what do you think?" He smiled as he asked.

The entire living room was transformed into a bizarre tiger-themed sanctuary. There were tiger blankets, pillows, posters, and even a life-sized stuffed tiger.

What do I think? What do I think?!

Jihoon tackled the older to the couch. "Jihoon!" Said man covered Soonyoung's mouth with his hand. "Why is the ENTIRE place covered in tacky tiger stripes?!"

At that moment, he remembered those tiger ears he found- making him step back and look at Soonyoung confused more than the anger he felt a couple seconds ago.

Soonyoung sat up, still being straddled by the younger. "Soonyoung.. Are you a furry?" He asked, looking around again.

Soonyoung couldn't help but burst out laughing. He laughed for a bit longer than Jihoon liked, so he covered his mouth again.

Soonyoung tapped on Jihoon's arm multiple times before he was able to talk again.

"Look, I thought our dorm needed a little more... excitement!" Soonyoung grinned. "I'm just embracing my spirit animal! Tigers are fierce, strong, and they know how to have fun. I thought it'd be cool to have a tiger-themed space to unleash our inner tigers."

Jihoon was... Well he didn't how he was feeling, to be honest. But, he had expected Soonyoung to pull this type of stuff. Still, this?! He doesn't wanna live in this environment. He does usually stay by his desk or in bed when he's here, but still.

After a moment of silence, Jihoon reluctantly said, "Well, I suppose it's... unique..."

"I knew you'd like it~" Soonyoung started poking Jihoon again, making Jihoon smack him. "OW!" Jihoon started laughing at him, Soonyoung laughing along soon after.

"Ya know.." Soonyoung stared up at the younger. "You're not too shabby, Soonyoung." Soonyoung- caught off guard- blushed slightly. "You're not too bad yourself, Jihoonie."

"Stop calling me that." Soonyoung shrugged. "Give me one reason to."

Jihoon sat there, looking at the man under him, then at the decorated room. "I'll start calling you... Hoshi!"

"I like that, Jihoonie."
