hate you (vkook)

two

During the summer, Jeongguk's high school friends threw parties almost every week. The ravenette didn't go to all of them, but he and Jimin still managed to visit a lot of them last month. However, getting drunk with familiar faces from high school felt different from the party he was about to attend. This was his first college party, and he didn't know anyone there.

Well, anyone except for Jimin and Taehyung of course. But even though hanging out with Taehyung this afternoon had been amazing, Jeongguk wasn't sure if he was ready to meet the older boy's college friends. And he wasn't sure if he was ready to meet the college version of Taehyung either.

What if he really changed a lot?

Lost in thought, Jeongguk didn't notice the door opening until an unfamiliar voice snapped him out of it. He jumped slightly at the sound.

"Oh- Hey!" A tall and broad guy is standing in the doorway. Jeongguk might have thought he was intimidating if it weren't for the smile on his face.

Oh, right! His roommate. He was too busy worrying about that party that he totally forgot.

"Hey!" Jeongguk stands up, walking over to him. "I'm Jeongguk." The guy seems much cooler than he'd imagined. He's dressed in sport shorts and and a sleeveless tank top, showing off his muscular arms and thighs. Clearly, he was athletic. He was also taller than Jeongguk, with hair styled like he'd just stepped out of a photoshoot.

Even an idiot would realise that his roommate is hot.

"I'm Mingyu." The taller guy shakes his hand. "Nice to meet you. Did you just get here this afternoon?"

"Yeah, finally finished unpacking." Jeongguk nods, and Mingyu eyes his side of the room.

"I see. I was helping a friend with the moving, thought maybe you would arrive tomorrow."

"Nope, just a little late." Jeongguk admits. Mingyu flops onto his bed and begins scrolling through his phone in silence. He doesn't seem too interested in continuing the conversation, and Jeongguk finds himself standing there awkwardly, unsure of what to say next.

"I was actually about to head out to a friend, are you going to the freshmen welcome party tonight?" He asks after a while.

Mingyu looks up from his phone. "Oh, yeah I am. I need to get ready in a bit."

"Cool, maybe I'll see you tonight then?"

"Yeah, probably." He seems a little dry, but Jeongguk decides not to overthink it as it was only their first meeting.

"Alright, see you later!" Jeongguk sats, earning a casual "Bye" from Mingyu as he heads out the door. In the hallway, he realizes Jimin's dorm was just a few steps away. It takes about 5 seconds to get there, and Jimin opens the door quickly as if he'd been waiting for him.

"Eh hello Gguk, you look hot. Planning to score tonight?" The guy himself is wearing a black button up blouse with dark pants. Jeongguk raises an eyebrow. He wanted to go for a simple look, wearing some dark grey baggy jeans with a tight Calvin Klein shirt.

"To score some friends, yes." Jeongguk replies, earning a chuckle from the orange head.

"Sure, sure."

"So, your roommate is out?"

"Yep. Gosh, my roommate is a fucking nerd!" Jimin whines.

"I know, you mentioned it on text. Like ten times." Jeongguk replies, to which Jimin groans.

"I'm serious Gguk. He asked me who my favorite philosopher was! I said Plato because that is the only one I could think of. You should have seen his face!"
