The Roommate | Yeonbin

Seven

The drive there was relaxing and Yeonjun played great music on the way there. The windows were rolled down and the warm summer air was kissing his skin as he leaned towards the window.

"Everything okay?"

"Peachy."

Yeonjun glanced at him, noticing the long look on his face. He took a deep breath before speaking again.

"One thing about Kangwoo is he's always been controlling." He says, causing Soobin to look at him. "I met him in high school. We were close, we aren't too close anymore though."

"But you're living with him?"

He shrugs. "He has this weird mentality. He likes being the savior so he can brag about it to other people. 'Oh yeah I've helped this guy Yeonjun out so many times. I even bailed him out of jail, what would he do without me'." He rolled his eyes. "I knew getting him to agree to let me live with him would be easy."

"Wait, he bailed you out of jail?" He sat up and leaned in a little. "What happened?"

"...I used to have a temper." And didn't seem like he wanted to go into depth about that so Soobin didn't ask anymore questions. "When he told me he had a boyfriend I was a little shocked. I thought 'who would be dumb enough to date this guy'?"

"Hey!" Soobin pouted. "Starting off it was good."

"And now?"

Soobin didn't say anything and just went back to looking out the window.

"I'm overstepping, I'm sorry."

"No it's alright. I lie about us all the time and that I'm happy but honestly I haven't been happy in a while. I don't get out much so I'm excited about this."

They continued to listen to music and simply talk to each other.

"Okay so, what else?" Soobin asked. "What more is there to you than the tattoos, sex, and cigarettes?"

"You're curious?"

"Well we are getting to know each other aren't we?"

Yeonjun glanced at him and turned to look back at the road.

"I have trust issues and if you were me you would too. So maybe if you stick around I'll share."

"You want me to hang around? You like hanging out with me."

Yeonjun snickered. "I never said those words."

Soobin had a grin on his face. "It was implied." He turned back to look at the road. "...tell me something now. Just for the road?"

He sighed and started thinking. "Uhhhh...I'm really into sci-fi movies."

"Nerd."

"Do you want to walk?"

Soobin laughed and so did Yeonjun.

They eventually arrived at the party. It was a house that was on a back street away from the main roads, so no noise complaints from neighbors. They could hear the music as they pulled up. Various cars were parked around the house and Soobin looked around oddly at the place. He didn't go to parties but was this how they looked?

There a few people talking outside, Soobin noticed one of the cars having foggy windows and rocking a little.

"Okay." He muttered and Yeonjun walked over and noticed the car too.

"Car sex is pretty uncomfortable."

"You would know that wouldn't you?"

"I would." He winked at him and walked away. "Come on."
