06: The First Meeting Pt.2

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Hana POV:

"Hi, I'm Hana—Choi Hana. Nice to meet you!" I said, introducing myself to the guy standing in front of me.

I had left Seungmin and Jeongin with Minho in the living room to explore the house, but honestly, I was more intrigued by him than anything else.

I had seen the house before, but I had never laid eyes on Minho. And wow—he looked almost perfect. I didn't know much about what made someone attractive, but there was something about him. His jawline was sharp and defined, and his big, soft eyes held a warmth that contrasted with his intimidating presence.

Deciding to break the ice instead of just stealing glances, I asked,
"What are you guys talking about?"

"Are you sure you're going to be okay living here?" Minho asked, looking genuinely concerned.

I felt a little flustered. Was this about living with a guy I barely knew? "Why wouldn't I be? Oh wait, is it about the 'living with a roommate who's a guy' thing? Seungmin, Jeongin, come on—I'll be fine, I promise!" I said, giving them an exaggerated look.
"Don't worry. I don't see a problem, yet. Unless you're a weirdo or something?"

I watched his eyes widen in surprise, a hint of confusion creeping in. Maybe I shouldn't joke around so soon.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that; I was just joking!" I said, embarrassed.

He laughed.
"No problem. Your concerns are valid, I guess. And no, I'm not a weirdo."

"See? No problem at all," I reassured Seungmin and Jeongin.

"Well, if she ever needs help with anything, and you guys aren't around, I can always lend a hand. That's what roommates are for, right?"
 Minho said, casting a glance at the two, who looked less than thrilled.

"Fine, but if you do anything wrong, you're dead,"
Seungmin declared, though I hoped he was exaggerating.

"What he said," Jeongin added, giving Minho a scrutinizing look.

"Hey! You can't just threaten someone you've just met!"
I giggled, shaking my head at their antics.

"Oh, but I just did," Seungmin shot back, grinning.

"Don't worry; they're just messing with you. But seriously, don't test him,"
I added with a nudge to Seungmin.

Minho nodded, looking amused. "Don't worry; I'll try not to be a bother. I'll be in my room now, but if you need help moving things—or anything at all—just call me. I look forward to getting to know you guys, assuming I'll see you around."

As he headed to his room, I couldn't help but think he was more sociable than he appeared.

"We're still going to check on you often," Seungmin said, his tone serious.

"Yeah, you won't stop us from doing that," Jeongin added, his expression mockingly stern.

"I'm not even going to argue with you. As much as I don't want to burden you, I'd appreciate your visits. It gets boring sometimes," I admitted.
