Roommate's Prohibited List - Choi Soobin

TWO

"Oh, I'm not sure where she is, but I can assure you she lives here." The faint sound of a voice wakes you up from your slumber, realising the sun is up again. 

Fuck, I slept for too long, you mentally scold yourself.

You check your phone to check the time, jumping out of bed when you see 3 missed calls from the moving company, and one text from last night. Beomgyu texted you saying he and Yeonjun went out to eat with his classmates, and left some pizza for you in case you didn't have anything for dinner.

"We need her signature. Otherwise we have to take the boxes with us." Another foreign voice echoes in the hallway, your brain connecting the dots: your boxes are here!

Shit shit shit, you jump out of bed and throw a hoodie on, freshening your face with a makeup remover wipe before making your way down the hallway, meeting a tall black haired guy speaking with two other men who had the moving company's logo on their shirt.

The three men turn to look at you, the silence in the room growing awkward as you notice your boxes are already inside, perfectly organized by Beomgyu's room. "Are you Miss Y/L/N ?" One of the company's workers asks.

"Uhh, yes. That's me." You walk closer to them, handing them your I.D with a small bow. Your cheeks turn red with embarrassment when you realize you are wearing your Hello Kitty pants, and the Monsters Inc. slippers Monica bought you as a gift when you went to Disney together during spring break.

The black haired guy in a white hoodie giggles next to you, making you turn your face to see him staring at your slippers, which makes you feel even more embarrassed. You notice the dimples on his cheek, and his eyes that have a very peculiar tone of brown, almost gray.

"Are you wearing contacts?" You ask, surprising both you and him at the random question. He nods with a shy smile before the workers call for your attention again, taking your ID back with another small bow.

"Please sign here," They give you a small paper that basically states that everything has been delivered, which you sign quickly and thank them for the help.

"Have a good day," you say while closing the door behind them, a deep sigh escaping your lips as you rest your head against the main door.

"You slept a lot," The hoodie guy's voice is soft, and very quiet. "We got you some dinner yesterday, we even knocked on your door but you were long gone." He smiles at you. "The pizza is in the fridge in case you still want it?" He asks.

You follow him with your eyes as he makes his way to the kitchen, opening the fridge and taking out the takeaway packaging that had your name written on top of it with a black marker.

He leans into the kitchen counter as he stares at you, his eyes dancing between you and the takeaway, "would you like me to heat it up for you?" He smiles sincerely to which you smile back, feeling stupid at how incompetent you must look right now.

"No." You quickly say, "You've already done so much." You shake your head, walk towards him and grab the box. You open it and place the slices of pizza on a plate before throwing it into the microwave. "Thank you for receiving my boxes, sorry if they woke you up." You thank him shyly as he makes his way to the living room, letting his body fall into the couch.

He lays down on the couch, facing you as he crosses his arms in front of his chest. "No worries, I actually met them on my way here." He shrugs.

"Yeonjun, right?" You ask right before the microwave beeps.

You turn around to take the pizza out when he lets out the loudest laugh you've ever heard. "Oh God, No." He laughs again.

You are confused at why that's so funny, quickly becoming curious of the stranger that's randomly chilling in your new apartment. "Jesus Christ I would hate to be Yeonjun, I'm Soobin." Just as he presents himself, Beomgyu walks out of his bedroom and greets you both good morning.

"Lovely Pj's" He compliments you in an almost sarcastic tone which makes you and Soobin laugh. Beomgyu walks past you and serves two cups of coffee before making his way to Soobin. "Did you finish the orientation form?" He asks his friend before offering him the second cup of coffee, forcing him to sit up to take it.

"Yeah, I left my charger here though. My laptop died before I could print it." Soobin replies, both of the guys indulging in their coffee as they continue to make small chit chat about uni stuff.

You eat your pizza standing by the counter, watching the two friends exchange words as you try to guess their career since you never saw them around campus. Hell, you didn't even see them at any of last year's parties or study halls!

"You're also a third year student, right?" Beomgyu asks, snapping you out of your trance and nodding. You bite the pizza as they exchange a confused look between them.

"How come we've never seen each other?" Beomgyu asks again, which confirms they are just as curious and confused as you are.

"I'm not sure," you speak with pizza still in your mouth, swallowing before speaking again. "What are you guys studying?"

"Engineering," They say at the same time, both of them looking at you as they sip on their coffees. "What about you?" Soobin asks, his eyes scanning you diligently, almost like he's trying to guess your major based on what you look like.

"Business," You shrug, both making an 'ahh' expression, which explains why you've never crossed paths before.

"Makes sense," Beomgyu adds before downing his coffee at the same time as you take your last bite of pizza.

You notice Soobin's eyes glued on you, a big smile on his face as he watches you chew the last bits of the pizza they got you. You grow nervous as he continues to stare, so you avoid eye contact as you look past him and into the window's view.

"Okay! I'll get my stuff, your charger, and then we head to the library?" Beomgyu asks Soobin, who just hums a positive reply as his eyes stay on you.

You are back alone with Soobin, who stands up and walks to the kitchen with both cups, one on each hand. You freeze in place as he makes his way behind you, your backs facing each other as he places both cups inside the sink. You swallow nervously as you feel his presence behind you, his arm now stretching in front of you as he picks up your now empty plate and places it on the sink too.

"Thank you," you whisper, feeling slightly warmer than you did just a few seconds ago. "And thank you for the boxes again, and the pizza." You speak in a rushed tone, the nervousness exuding from you which makes him huff teasingly.

You turn around to find him watching you with his hands inside his hoodie pocket, his lower back resting against the sink. "Anytime," He says in a whisper, a soft smile appearing on his lips.

You stare at each other in silence for a while (which felt like an eternity!) before he lets out a sigh, breaking eye contact as he shakes his head, walking back to the living room without a word.

You are mesmerized by him. He looks so familiar yet so foreign to you, a very particular beauty to him that intrigues you more than you want to admit.

I hope he's not a free pass friend, you surprise yourself at the impulsive thought, immediately panicking as Beomgyu makes his way back to the living room.

"Ready bestie?" He asks Soobin, who just nods as he takes his backpack from the floor. You notice how Soobin has a keychain identical to the one Beomgyu gave you, which means Soobin has an extra key. He's definitely his free pass friend.

"We'll see you later, y/n" Beomgyu greets you with a small wave as he makes his way to the front door, Soobin walking right behind him with his eyes still glued to yours.

You can feel your heart skip a beat when he winks at you, a flirty grin directed at you as he disappears through the door, leaving you hot and bothered.

Oh, you're so fucked.
