Jeongin and Seungmin walked to the office where tables were set up in the hallway just outside the door. They talked to the counselors to get their schedule, and once in hand, they compared them.

"Look, we have English together." Jeongin pointed to both schedules, then went further down the list. "Damn, that looks like all we have together."

Seungmin frowned. He was hoping to have more than one class with his roommate as he didn't have any friends at the college yet.

While Jeongin kept looking back and forth, his eyes lit up. "Oh, Minnie! Look here!" He pointed to the second to last line. "We have the Fundamentals of Photography class together as well!" Jeongin smiled and looked to the boy beside him who was grinning. Man, I'd love to kiss those lips so bad. He blushed a little when Seungmin looked up at him.

"That's awesome, Innie!" Seungmin's eyes were shining while looking at his roommate. If Jeongin didn't know any better, he'd say that Seungmin might have a crush on him. That would be awesome! 

"Did you want to walk around the campus to locate our classrooms?" Jeongin asked. I could spend just a little more time with him, he thought.

"I'd love to, Innie!" Seungmin seemed thrilled at the idea and smiled brightly. His eyes turning into crescent moons. 

Jeongin grinned, "Well, right this way, Minnie." He gestured to the hall on the left. He didn't know where exactly he was going, but thankfully, the classrooms were numbered, which helped a lot.

They roamed the halls for a good 45 minutes and made small talk here and there. When they were finished, they walked back to their dorm.

"Thank you for helping me find my classes, Jeongin." Seungmin said, looking down at the ground with a little tint of pink on his cheeks.

Jeongin smiled. "No problem, Minnie." The boys made eye contact and stared at each other for a minute, each getting lost in the beautiful brown eyes that the other had. A 'ding' forced them out of their trance, and Seungmin went back to blushing and looking at the ground.

Jeongin grabbed his phone and looked at it. Right, they are expecting me.. he thought. "I have to go now. Um, will you be okay here?"

Seungmin looked up and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He looked away, and Jeongin noticed the boy seemed sad now. Oh, how he wished he could bring him to meet his boyfriends. They would adore the puppy-like boy. Without a second thought, Jeongin spoke up, "Give me your phone." And held out his hand.

Seungmin looked confused but obeyed his roommate without a second thought, handing him his phone. Jeongin quickly added his number to Seungmin's contacts and handed back the phone. "I added in my number in case you need me for anything, okay?" Seungmin nodded. "Thank you." He smiled brightly.

"You're welcome, puppy." Jeongin watched Seungmin's face flush a vibrant red at the nickname, and he smirked. Hmm, I guess he loves that one. Noted.

"Well, I need to go, but text me if you need me, okay?" Jeongin made sure Seungmin knew he could talk to him.

"Okay, thank you." Seungmin smiled and waved to his roommate walking out the door.

Once the door was closed and his roommate was out of sight, Seungmin ran and jumped onto his bed, squealing. He grabbed his Sammy plush and squeezed. "He called me puppy!" Seungmin said quietly, smiling wide. He thought about his day so far and how he had enjoyed his time with Jeongin, the smile never leaving his face. Then grabbed his phone to check his social media and ended up mindlessly scrolling.

When Jeongin made it to Felix and Jisung's dorm, he knocked. The door opened to reveal a flushed Minho, "Hey, Innie. Come on in." The younger walked inside and sat down on the floor near Hyunjin, who was lying on the couch. "Hi, hyungs." He greeted his boyfriends. He looked around at who was there and noticed that Chan and Changbin were the only ones missing. "Where's Channie and Bin?" He asked.

"Oh, they still needed to get their schedules, and then they wanted to get some snacks. They'll be here soon." Felix replied. "What did you guys want to do while we wait for them?"

"Why don't we watch something?" Hyunjin suggested.

"What did you have in mind?" Minho asked.

"Ooh! How about SVU?!" Jisung's voice was loud. He was coming out of the bathroom when he heard the conversation.

"I'm fine with that." Hyunjin said, looking around at his boyfriends.

"Me too." Jeongin agreed as well as everyone else. Jisung cheered, and they all sat down around the TV, either on the couch or the floor. Jisung sat next to Jeongin so he could cuddle him, claiming he needed some 'Innie cuddles' which Jeongin was fine with.

Seungmin was lonely. He had the dorm to himself, but all he could think about was Jeongin. He laid on his bed, cuddling his Sammy plush while he got lost in his thoughts. Why did he get roomed with him? He's not complaining, but how is he going to survive the school year? I still want to know if he has a boyfriend or not. Should I ask? No, that'd be rude, Seungmin! He scoffed at his thoughts.

His stomach rumbled, and it was at that moment that he knew he probably needed to make a trip to the store to fill their small dorm pantry. His parents had always made sure Seungmin had what he needed, and that included money in his own bank account, which his mother filled for him monthly. I should probably go to the store real quick. Maybe I should text Innie? Wait, I just.. said his nickname. Oh, why does everything about him make me blush? Seungmin's head fell into his hands. After a minute, he decided to text Jeongin.

Seungmin:
Hey, it's Seungmin
Um, I'm going shopping for food and stuff
Do you need anything?
Or have any requests?

He waited patiently for a response.

When Jeongin received the texts, he smiled. Still cuddled up to Jisung, he replied as quickly as he could.

Jeongin:
Hey Minnie
Um, I'm not picky when it comes to food
But if you get some ingredients for your favorite meals, I'll make them for you 😉

Seungmin blushed big time. He held his cheeks like that would make the pink color go away.

Seungmin:
Okay
Um, I'm going to go now then

Jeongin:Okie dokieText me when you get backPlease

Seungmin:
Will do Innie

Jeongin smiled, unknowingly being watched by his boyfriend that was next to him.

"So, is this that roommate of yours you were talking about?" Jisung spoke up. Jeongin's eyes went wide, and he nodded his head. "I'm sorry, Sung. I just.. he seems so fragile and just different. A good different. He's very interesting and just has such 'baby' energy. I.. I want to take care of him.."

Jisung listened to his boyfriend. His eyes softened when Jeongin expressed his want to care for his roommate. So this must be why he doesn't want to be treated like a baby. It all makes sense now! Jisung cupped Jeongin's cheek, "Innie, it's okay. I'm glad you told me. And I want to help you." He paused, smiling at his youngest boyfriend. "How can I help?"

Jeongin thought for a moment. "I'm not sure where to start. I think he likes me because he is almost constantly blushing when we're together, and it is super cute.." He rambled on with Jisung listening and smiling.

Felix and Hyunjin ended up sleeping on one another, and Minho was using their bodies as an arm rest. When he noticed the two on the floor talking, he tried listening to their conversation. Hmm, so Innie has a little crush on his roommate. This should be interesting.

"I just.. I don't know how to tell Chan. I don't want him to be angry." Jeongin frowned.

"Baby, Chan won't be upset that you have a crush." Jisung said. "He would get upset if you did anything without telling us, though." Minho chimed in. Jeongin looked to his other boyfriend in horror. He didn't realize anyone else was listening. Jisung smiled sweetly at his boyfriends.

"How about this? When Chan and Changbin get back, we'll talk about what to do, okay?" Jisung suggested.

"Okay." Jeongin replied. Jisung grabbed onto Jeongin's hand and squeezed. "We'll get through this together, baby. I promise." They smiled at each other.

"Thank you, Sungie." Jeongin replied and leaned in to kiss his sweet boyfriend.

"Hey, save some for me!" Minho said, getting up to claim his kisses.
