"Wow, this place is even better than I expected," Jimin exclaimed, his eyes darting excitedly around their new, cheap yet surprisingly comfortable apartment.

With its two bedrooms, small kitchen, and cozy living area, it was the perfect space for the four of them to call home.

Just as Jimin was taking in the surroundings, he heard a voice from behind him. "Hi?"

Turning around, Jimin spotted a stranger standing at the front door, carrying bags. Curiosity piqued, he responded, "Yeah?"

The man chuckled, his smile captivating. "I almost forgot, I'm actually one of your roommates," he said, introducing himself as Jungwon.

Jimin's surprise quickly turned into an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I didn't notice you there," he admitted, stepping aside to let Jungwon in.

Jungwon shook his head graciously. "No worries. By the way, I'm Jungwon," he said, waving at Jimin with a friendly gesture.

Returning the smile, Jimin couldn't help but notice the ID lace around Jungwon's neck. "Wait, you're studying Architecture too?" he asked, his eyes widening.

Jungwon glanced down at his ID lace, chuckling. "Yeah, I'm a first-year like you," he confirmed, sharing the same surprise.

Jimin's smile grew wider, but then a thought struck him. "Oh, come on. Let's check out the bedrooms," he suggested, realizing they had been standing at the front door for far too long.

As they made their way towards the bedrooms, Jimin chose one close to the kitchen, while Jungwon opted for the one near the living room.

"Sunoo mentioned that he'll be joining me in this bedroom," Jimin mentioned to Jungwon, referring to their mutual friend.

Jungwon nodded, recalling Nayeon's discussion about the room arrangements. "No problem. Nayeon already told me that you and Sunoo should be roommates since you're already friends," he explained, remembering how Nayeon had described Jimin and Sunoo.

The conversation flowed effortlessly between Jimin and Jungwon as they explored their new apartment, their laughter filling the air.

"So, Jungwon, what section are you?" Jimin asked as they settled themselves on the couch. They had just finished unpacking their belongings in their respective rooms, and the Sunday evening was slowly settling in. They were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their two roommates, Eunwoo and Sunoo.

Jungwon took a sip of his orange juice before replying, "I'm in section C. Unfortunately, Eunwoo and I didn't get the slot for the section Nayeon suggested we join. So, we had no choice but to choose section C," he explained, a tinge of disappointment evident in his voice.

Jimin nodded sympathetically. "That's a shame. But hey, what if you guys switch to our section in the second semester?" he suggested with a mischievous grin.

Jungwon chuckled, a spark of excitement in his eyes. "We've actually been considering that. And Eunwoo seems especially eager to join your section for some reason," he replied, remembering the times Eunwoo had asked him about changing sections as soon as possible.

Jimin laughed. "Looks like Eunwoo is excited to be friends with us," he remarked, a playful glint in his eyes.

Jungwon nodded, a smile tugging at his lips. "He's our hyung, after all," he said, a hint of pride in his voice.

Jimin raised an eyebrow, curiosity getting the better of him. "By the way, it's pretty obvious how tall Eunwoo is. Is he into basketball or something?" he asked, taking another sip of his orange juice.
