Permanent Substitute [SHINHWA]

Band Aid

We decided to go to the nearest optical shop that they have. I was not surprised when they told me that it will take a day for me to get my new glasses since I have unequal grades together with astigmatism. They also don't have a stock of the contacts for my eyes and I find myself lucky that the one that I lost is available here. If it was my left lens, I'll be dead meat for sure.

Dongwan Oppa suggested for us to take a bus going home. He told me that he still have a class that afternoon that is why we went off early this morning. On my case, I will need to review my files for that highly classified call that I received a while ago from my professor.

The heat is starting to catch up. Even the ventilation inside the bus is barely coping up.

"Are you sleeping comfortably in your room?" he suddenly started.

"Oh, yes. I love its interior and its simple details." I mused admiringly through my words.

"Ace Hyung did a very great job redesigning the dorm with his own creativity. Even our rooms are modified to our personalities. If you haven't been upstairs, there are three major areas." He explained.

Now that he mentioned it, I never paid attention to that part of the house. I always keep myself locked inside my own asylum. The idea sparked curiosity in my mind. There were three doors to be exact and I strongly feel that there are all divided in pairs. I wonder who became roommates.

"Eric and Hyesung are on the farthest left side of the second floor, they were characterized as the oil and water of our dorm so we decided to let them be in one place. The last time I checked, one of them sleeps on a mattress and the other one uses the bed. We are hoping that maybe they will resolve their character's conflict." He paused a little while trying to convince himself that they did the right thing.

"The middle room is occupied by Minwoo, Junjin and Andy." He added with a charming smile on his face.

"What?! All three of them?! How can they fit in a single room?" I got surprised about that unexpected fact.

"Their room is relatively larger than Eric and Hyesung's since it resembles a special trapezoid space. Minwoo stays on a single bed while the maknae lines are happily assigned to a comfortable wooden double deck. While I am on a solo flight on the last room since I have a lot of allergies. I need to open the windows when I am sleeping and that does not clearly apply to any of them." Oppayam ended.

I suddenly remembered the initials written on my keys. I thought it was all but a joke. There are still a lot to uncover within the set of people that I am with. It was such a miracle for them to blend together just like this. I am humbled with the kind of friendship that they have.

We reached the house exactly at lunch time. Dongwan Oppa rushed to his room to prepare for school. I walked slowly towards the dorm and decided to take a better way of appreciating it from where I am standing. It was such a pleasant place to be in.

The weather is humid again; I can see the dark clouds approaching and looks like the sky has a very constant schedule of sadness in the afternoon. I know – it will rain soon.

"Kaaaaaheeeel come inside! Join me for lunch! You'll be home alone soon!" – It was Minwoo's joyful voice.

I hurriedly went inside and saw him unwrapping a newly delivered pizza on the table. He transferred slices of it on both plates laying before him and waved invitingly.

"Did you enjoy your day?" He asked with a cheerful smile.

"Ahh, yes. Thank you for asking." Though Minwoo is a very nice person, I can't still bring myself to joke around with him, I don't know why. His cool charisma is too overpowering.
