Kang Yeosang and Choi Jongho are beginning their freshman year at Jady.
Jady is a school for enchanted beings and sorcerers.
When a merman and wizard become roommates, they have to get used to eachother.
Triggerwarnings will always be at the beginni...
After Mingi and Yunho finally returned from the restroom, they were finally able to enjoy their meal. Yeosang and Jongho were seated next to each other, and Yeosang was visibly shivering. "Hey, want my jacket?" Jongho whispered into Yeosang's ear, receiving a nod in response. Jongho took off his jacket and placed it around Yeosang, who leaned his head on Jongho's shoulder while continuing to eat. Jongho didn't mind and carried on chatting with the others. Meanwhile, Hongjoong had somehow managed to fall asleep. "He can sleep anywhere, it's ridiculous," Jongho remarked to the others. Seonghwa, on the other hand, gently placed Hongjoong's head on his lap and covered him with his own jacket as a makeshift blanket. None of them minded and simply continued their conversations and meal. "Today was a blast, guys, but I should take Hongjoong back to the dorm," Seonghwa announced as he stood up. Everyone bid their farewells to Seonghwa, considering Hongjoong was still fast asleep.
Jongho and Yeosang decided to gaze at the stars a bit longer, as it was nearly midnight and everyone else had already left. After chatting and identifying constellations for another hour, Jongho noticed Yeosang yawning. "It's getting late, let's head back to the dorms," Jongho suggested, helping Yeosang to his feet. Despite groaning in response, Yeosang obediently followed Jongho back.
When they returned to the dorms, Yeosang went straight to bed, while Jongho decided to watch some TV. Suddenly, he sensed an eerie presence and turned around, only to spot a flickering light. As he approached it, the light went out and another one further down the hall started flickering. Intrigued, he followed the lights until he arrived at the storage room, where he discovered a notebook. Without knowing who it belonged to, he picked it up and upon opening it, he immediately saw the name 'Kang Yeosang'. Jongho grabbed the notebook and went to knock on Yeosang's door, not paying attention to its contents. The door opened, but there was no one in the room. Jongho heard a choking sound and hurried to where the noise was coming from, witnessing Yeosang being strangled by a strange spirit. "Let him go!" Jongho shouted, causing the spirit to become frightened and release Yeosang before disappearing. Yeosang, who was hyperventilating, clung to Jongho as if his life depended on it. "Hey, it's okay, you're safe now," Jongho reassured him, recalling how Hongjoong had comforted him in the past. "Do you want to come to my room?" he asked, receiving a nod from Yeosang. Jongho noticed that Yeosang was too scared to even walk without trembling, so he picked him up and carried him to his room.
Jongho cradled Yeosang in his arms until Yeosang's tears subsided. "Hey, do you have any idea what that was?" Jongho knew it was a spirit, but Yeosang probably hadn't encountered one before. "Not really," Yeosang replied, his voice trembling. "It was a spirit. Normally, they can't harm you, but they feed off your emotions. The more you let it use your emotions, the stronger it becomes," Jongho explained to Yeosang. Yeosang simply nodded and snuggled closer to Jongho, seeking comfort. "How are you so warm?" Yeosang mumbled, too exhausted to think clearly. "I don't know. Just go to sleep, Yeo," Jongho whispered, pulling Yeosang closer before drifting off to sleep himself.
We have no idea who the spirit was or why it had a grudge against Yeosang.
However, Jongho was well aware that it wasn't a nice one.

3rd person POV (Yeosang):
Yeosang woke up with his arms wrapped around Jongho, basically laying on top of him. He felt comfortable and decided to stay there, listening to Jongho's heartbeat. Yeosang always found peace in listening to soft sounds, like a heartbeat. Jongho started to move, causing Yeosang to sit up quickly. "Good morning," Jongho greeted with a big yawn. Yeosang just smiled in return. "Hey, um," Yeosang began, tugging on Jongho's sleeve, "Thank you for last night, it means a lot to me." Jongho reassured him, "Hey, don't worry. I'll always be here for you. You're my roommate... and my friend." Jongho got up and headed to his closet. Yeosang, still hesitant to leave the room, stayed on Jongho's bed, scanning the room until he spotted a teddy that resembled his own, Angel, but in the form of a dog. "Oh, that's Guard. Yeah, don't ask. He's my favorite plushy," Jongho explained, returning with a chuckle. Yeosang shared, "I have the same one, but as a cat. Her name is Angel." Jongho smiled at him. "I'm going to shower, but if you're not comfortable being alone, I can wait," Jongho offered. "No, it's okay. I'll watch some TV. Don't worry about me," Yeosang replied as they both went their separate ways - Jongho to the bathroom and Yeosang to the TV.
Yeosang plopped down on the couch and decided to watch some Studio Ghibli. A knock on the door interrupted Yeosang and his movie, causing him to get up slowly and walk towards the door. He felt relieved when he heard a familiar voice. Opening the door, a smiling Wooyoung was standing there. "I can't believe we've made it through 2 weeks already," Wooyoung said in a sing-song tone. "Yeah, these past weeks have been hectic. Hello, San," Yeosang greeted San. "Come in, sit down," Yeosang offered. "You want something to drink?" Yeosang asked, receiving two no thank you's. Jongho, who had just left the bathroom in only a towel, walked into the living room and greeted Wooyoung and San before going to get dressed. "I didn't know you guys were on 'seeing each other naked' standards already," Wooyoung teased Yeosang. "Oh, shut up, you bitch. We're just friends. He's nice, kind, and takes care of me," Yeosang said, slapping Wooyoung on the shoulder. Yeosang just received a mischievous stare in return.
After Jongho joined them, he couldn't stop glancing at Yeosang with a hint of concern in his eyes. 'You won't believe what I stumbled upon a few days back,' Wooyoung began excitedly. Yeosang turned to see what Wooyoung was holding up. 'It's a petal necklace,' Wooyoung revealed with a smile. 'It's stunning,' Yeosang replied, though he knew San was the one who actually gave it to Wooyoung, San who was gazing at Wooyoung with admiration.
Jongho leaned in closer to Yeosang and whispered, "Hey, how long do you think it'll take before they finally kiss?" Yeosang smirked and replied, "Just give it about four months, and they'll be completely smitten with each other."
Yeosang and Jongho glanced at the other pair, who were simply laughing together.
Love is not something you can choose, it's something that comes to you. But they are unaware of that.
