Disclaimer: I decided to delete the pt.2 to the last chapter since the comments were very mixed abt the whole situation 🫶

The light peering in through the window, that was surprisingly open and blowing in a chill breeze, woke Arin up from her deep slumber. She stretched out her limbs, wrists still sore from the metal confines of last night, taking in a deep breath before peering her eyes open. The sound of a hoover turning on upon her awakening caught her off guard, wondering since when Haechan started hoovering early on a Saturday morning.

She sat up with a groggy expression, rubbing her eyes roughly before adjusting them to the light. And the blurred blob that she thought was Haechan turned out to be Renjun.

"What are you doing?" She asked with squinted eyes, making him turn to her with a slight frown

"You know how much dust is in this room? My allergies are going to go insane if I have to live with this!" Renjun complained, reaching the plastic under the cot to vacuum the dust.

"Why are you cleaning my room?" She asked with a sigh, wanting to rip her hair out with the noise already

"You mean our room" he said with a sigh, turning off the vacuum. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, sitting up straighter.

"No...I meant my room—what's going on?" She asked making him raise his eyebrows

"Haechan didn't tell you?" Renjun asked with slight surprise and she scoffed

"Tell me what?" She asked and Renjun turned the vacuum back on, eyes nodding over to his pile of clothes waiting to be shoved into the wardrobe

"Haechan and I drunkenly agreed to switch rooms yesterday" Renjun said simply, making her eyes go wide. She sprinted out of her bed, quickly walking up to him and switching off the vacuum

"What? Why?!" She asked loudly making him jump at the close proximity all of a sudden

"I don't know—Maybe he just wants a change?"

"A change?!" She asked, making him on s

"Well it could be a good thing. He's pretty messy anyway—"

"No Renjun. Change is never a good thing! Ask the climate!" She groaned, shoving her face into her hands while he blinked twice at her reaction

"I have to talk to him" she sighed, stepping away from him, almost tripping over her half on slippers, reaching for the door handle and letting herself out of her room. The door right across from them, Jaemin's room, was immediately pounded with several harsh knocks and bangs.

"Just a sec!" Jaemin shouted from inside, voice unamused as he could already tell who it was. He sighed, opening the door to reveal himself shirtless, a towel slung around his shoulders while his neck was covered in hickeys. He let out a chuckle, leaning against the door frame as his arms crossed over his body while her eyes scanned him upper half

"Eyes up here, Arin. Was yesterday not enough for you?" Jaemin asked tauntingly and she rolled her eyes, scoffing at his statement before meeting his eyes

"Where is he?" She asked, ignoring his statement and he raised his eyebrows up at her in amusement

"Not home...but uh...I don't exactly think he wants to see you after you—how do I put this—oh yeah...fucked him to get revenge on your ex boyfriend and then proceeded to get with me to get back at him after he called it quits...did I remember that right?" Jaemin asked sarcastically, ego clearly still bruised from last night. She scoffed shaking her head at him.

"Alright...touché. I apologise for bruising that big ego of yours and making you feel just as used as all the other girls you've probably fucked around and lead on, I swear it's not personal" She said, making his smirk drop slightly from his lips at her words

"But there's a lot more at stake between him and I so just tell me where he is and—"

"He's not here." Jaemin interrupted her statement making her squeeze her eyes shut in frustration

"Jaemin please...with whatever little respect you have left for me—"

"Which is none" he interrupted again

"Please...just tell me where he is" she persisted, looking into his eyes again and he smiled a small smile, knowing he was to abide with clear cut orders from his best friend than give in

"See you around, Arin" he said, closing the door on her before she could dig into him for more info that he could give her. She let out a sigh, fingers running through her hair before she let out a groan.

"Morning! How's the hangover?" Somi's voice ran through the hallway as she let herself into their hall, waving at Arin and completely missing her stressed out expression

"Somi...what are you doing here?" Arin sighed and the girl smiled brightly, jogging up to her with a squeal escaping her lips

"So how did it go?" She asked with wide eyes

"What are you talking about?" Arin sighed, eyebrows furrowed at her statement

"I saw you leave the club after Jaemin last night! Did you sleep with him because we need to move quick with this gameplan before the break—"

"Somi please I...I can't do this anymore" Arin said, shaking her head and Somi raised her eyebrows with surprise

"What's wrong?" She asked

"Everything...okay? Nothing has been right ever since I did this and...I'm just hurting their feelings and leading them on—"

"But Arin, they do that to like every other girl—"

"And that's not my problem okay? My only problem right now is to find Haechan and apologise—"

"Why would you apologise to him? It's not like you guys were together—" Somi cut herself off as she watched Haechan and Jeno appear in the hallway as they made their way out of the common room

"Because I caught feelings for him okay?!" Arin cried out and Somi widened her eyes, looking behind Arin's shoulder, making her turn around the second she noticed to see Jeno and Haechan standing behind them with a blank expression.

"Sorry..." Jeno said quickly, scratching the back of his neck before disappearing into his dorm, not wanting to seem like he was trying to get involved in her personal business

"Fuck." Arin sighed under her breath as Haechan took slow steps towards her

"I'm just gonna...let myself out" Somi whispered behind her, scrunching her face in awkwardness before rushing out of their hall to leave the two alone

"Hyuck—"

"So you have feelings for me and you fooled around with my best friend. God, am I or am I not the luckiest guy in the world?!" Haechan asked with sarcasm dripping from each word as he shook his head at her

"You have to let me explain" she said, looking up at him and he scoffed

"I don't think I have to do anything" Haechan corrected and she sighed, letting him pass by her as he entered his new room.

"This is so fucked" she sighed, shaking her head at the whole situation before pushing down on the door handle to her own room, seeing Renjun place his belongings on the shelves that once held a bunch of games and movie discs.

"Hey uh...Haechan left that for you" Renjun said, nodding his head over to her bed and she turned her head to look at the small grey star screen projector box laying on the covers.

"He said you might need it." Renjun smiled and she nodded, taking in a shaky breath before her lips quivered, not going unnoticed by her new roommate

"Hey, you okay? What's wrong?" Renjun asked with a concerned expression, walking up to her and she immediately pulled him into a hug, making him stumble back a little as she mumbled her cries into his neck.

"Everything."
