This Bond Of Love || Lee Heeseung

🌸 Prelude To A New Chapter

◤──•~❉᯽❉~•──◥

 Sometimes I find myself wandering back to the places we used to go, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, but he's never there.

His absence left a gaping hole in my heart, and I couldn't help but wonder what could've been if he stayed.

Outside, the monsoon season had already begun, casting a cozy gloom over the campus. Raindrops pattered against the windows, creating a soothing melody that accompanied the students' daily lives. The air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of wet earth and leaves.

The dormitory is already buzzing with students arrivals the their session already started. Nina, Sophia, and Siya share a dorm room, which becomes a hub for their friendship and adventures. The dorm's common areas, such as the lounge and kitchen, serve as gathering spaces for the friends to bond, study, and share meals. 

The universe had a way of bringing people together. As fate would have it, Heeseung snagged the vacant bedroom in Jay, Sunoo's dorm room. The three of them instantly clicked, their bond forming like a perfectly harmonized chord.

Jay and Sunoo welcomed Heeseung with open arms, and he quickly became an integral part of their squad. Jay, being the charismatic leader, took Heeseung under his wing, introducing him to the college scene. Sunoo, Nina's cousin, became Heeseung's partner in crime, sharing a love for adventure and good food. The girls haven't met Heeseung yet, only heard stories about him being notorious and rebellious and his music from Jay and Sunoo and other students. 

As they spent more time together, Heeseung found himself drawn to the group's infectious energy. They were all around the same age, 18 or 19, and shared a desire to make the most of their college experience.

Heeseung's condo, once a symbol of freedom, became a distant memory as he spent most of his days on campus, surrounded by his new friends. They'd jam together, with Heeseung on piano and acoustic guitar and vocal, Jay on electric guitar with vocals and rapping skills, Sunoo on bass guitar and vocals. Their impromptu sessions became the stuff of campus legend.

For the first time in a long while, Heeseung felt carefree, his stressful thoughts replaced by laughter and music. He realized that sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of friendship to turn life's melody into a beautiful symphony.

The close living quarters foster deep conversations, inside jokes, and strong bonds between the friends. The dormitory's communal spaces facilitate chance encounters, group study sessions, and impromptu performances that drive the story forward. The dormitory's cozy atmosphere enables them to open up, share their struggles, and support each other through thick and thin.

In essence, the dormitory is more than just a living space – it's a catalyst for growth, friendship, and self-discovery in Nina and Heeseung's story.

In Nina and Heeseung's dorm, the hallway is adorned with vibrant colours and eclectic decorations, reflecting the personalities of its residents. The rooms are cozy and inviting, with plush throw blankets and favourite snacks within reach. It's a space where friendships are forged, memories are made, and growth happens.
