EDITED ;; 18 APR 2019

changkyun hesitantly opened the bedroom door and saw the lights of the hallway turned on.

if he thought rationally enough, no ghost would switch the lights on... probably. he didn't understand ghost behavior, after all. and the only encounters he had with ghosts was when he saw them portrayed on tv. there was no way he could really know. one thing he knew for sure was that he could feel his heart beating in his throat.

it could also be a burglar and he was completely unarmed and defenceless. and wearing those same pajamas with bear print on top of everything. definitely a lesson never learned.

he peeked from behind the door, looking at the direction of the front door to see a male figure with his back against him. it was weird because what burglar would care to take off his shoes when barging into an apartment? a weird one, that was for sure.

"uhm, excuse me?" changkyun said, not thinking of how stupid he might have sounded - being polite with well mannered burglars and all. by this point it was more than obvious than the dude wasn't a burglar but, just as always, changkyun wasn't thinking rationally.

the male turned around. suddenly he smiled and a spark of excitement lit up his face. he had deep dimples on his very soft-looking cheeks.

"you must be changkyun, right?" he asked. the boy nodded, finally walking out in the hallway instead of peeking behind the door. "i am lee jooheon, your new roommate," the stranger's smile got even brighter.

he walked closer to changkyun, stretching out his hand. changkyun took it in his own for a handshake while staring at the other.

he suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and let go of jooheon's hand. "holy fuck," he cursed under his breath as he realized he hadn't really said anything to jooheon, he was just staring at him. "i'm really sorry for being so inadequate, i had no idea you would come this early." he bowed lightly as a gesture of apology.

jooheon's giggle filled the air. "you probably thought i am a burglar or something." he was kidding but when changkyun nodded awkwardly his face went more serious. "oh... sorry about that..."

they were standing in silence, staring at each other.

"nice pajama pants, by the way," jooheon smirked.

"don't mention it..." there goes the first impression. but this time it wasn't his fault, it was jooheon's shitty timing. also he made enough of a first impression by cursing before greeting jooheon or even introducing himself properly.

it was quite late already, so they both decided to go to sleep and get to know each other in the morning.

changkyun was so glad that his bed was still warm when he returned to it. he closed his laptop and left it on the ground in front of his nightstand.

he wrapped himself in the blanket and watched jooheon as he was also preparing to sleep.

at some point the other walked over to the bathroom to change his clothes to much more comfortable ones, suitable for sleeping. when he went out again, changkyun's jaw dropped at the sight of jooheon wearing similar to his own pajama pants but with a duck print over them.

"you're kidding me," changkyun said, making the wide grin appear back on jooheon's face.

"why do you think i mentioned that yours are nice?" jooheon snorted. he turned the lights off, walked over to his bed and lied down.

changkyun was sitting there for a while, now feeling at least a bit safer watching out through the window in the dark.

he also lied down soon, staring at the ceiling. his heart was beating fast, he realized. he had gone through all kinds of different emotions in just ten minutes but he was mostly happy that for now his roommate seemed normal and had the same shitty taste in pajamas.

he didn't want to assume anything so soon, because he had already made that mistake twice, but he felt like he was going to have a decent roommate for the first time.
