the next day, minho realized that he had been able to arrange most of his furnishings the previous day but hadn't quite finished. he planned to wrap up everything after his classes.

when he woke up this morning, he was pleased to discover that he had beaten his annoying alarm clock to waking up.

minho took a shower and dressed himself casually, intending to make a good impression on his blockmates. as he left his room, he glanced at his roommate's door, sensing that the guy had probably left early again.

yesterday, minho had spent the entire day unpacking and arranging his things, eventually falling asleep on the couch. when he awoke, it was already evening, and he found himself covered with a blanket, even though he hadn't covered himself before falling asleep. when he went to the kitchen with the intention of preparing some food before continuing, he noticed one of his instant meals on the counter, still emitting steam, indicating it had just been prepared.

minho was aware that there was no one else besides his roommate who could have done this. he had considered knocking to thank him but ultimately decided against it, thinking that it was already evening and his roommate was likely busy.

for now, minho was determined to express his gratitude as soon as he sensed his roommate was inside his room. these thoughtful gestures from his roommate filled minho's heart with appreciation and motivated him to befriend the guy.

with his bag slung over his shoulder, minho put on his shoes and headed to his first class.

minho's first class for the day was physiology, which required him to head to clé hall. upon arriving at clé hall, he began searching for his classroom, and after a little while, he finally located the correct room, prompting him to enter.

as the door to the classroom swung open, all eyes in the room turned toward the newcomer. minho offered an awkward smile and lowered his head slightly as he made his way inside. he felt the weight of everyone's attention on him and couldn't help but overhear some of the whispered comments:

"finally, someone good looking in this class!"

"do you think he has a girlfriend?"

"i've never seen him before."

minho did his best to block out these whispers since he preferred not to be the center of attention.

a friendly voice echoed from the classroom, calling out to him, "hey! over here."

"you can sit beside me," the person offered with a warm smile.

minho returned the smile and took a seat beside the welcoming classmate. "what's your name?" the person started.

"lee minho, a biology major," minho replied. "yours?" he added.

"i'm lee felix, a psychology major," felix replied, his smile as bright as sunshine.

minho picked up on felix's accent and asked, "are you a foreigner?"

"oh, you noticed? yes, i'm actually australian!" felix cheered, prompting minho's mouth to form an 'o' shape.

felix had slightly long, blonde hair, freckles that resembled stars in a night sky, a great sense of style, and a personality that reminded minho of the sun.

"you're an irregular, right?" felix asked, clearly curious about minho.

"yup," minho replied, emphasizing the 'p' sound.

"what year are you supposed to be in now?" felix inquired.

"i'm supposed to be in my third year," minho responded, causing felix's eyes to slightly widen in surprise.
