I went in through the front door, and I was amazed at how clean Kyungsoo's house was.

It was usually pretty messy, but it looked fine this time. "Kyungsoo? Are you here?" I asked loudly into his house.

Suddenly he came out from a room- I think it was the guest room?

"Oh, hey Baek hyung" he said and smiled as he closed the door quietly.

"It's Chanjae, he just fell asleep" Kyungsoo told me quietly.

"Your pet mouse?" I asked with an amused expression.

"Yeah... anyway, he is in the livingroom" Kyungsoo told me.

Right. I never checked if someone was there.

But I mean, if there was, they could have answered me when I was shouting...?

As we went into the livingroom, there was a small bed on which a guy was lying. He was doing something on his phone, and he didn't know we were there since he wore earphones.

"Chanyeol-ah!" Kyungsoo said to get his attention. The guy immediately looked up at him with two really beautiful, dark eyes.

He took out one of his earphones and looked at us. "Oh, hi" he said.

He had a nice voice - deep - but not too deep.

He looked really nice as he sat up in his bed. He bowed his head and held out his hand for me to shake.

"Hello I'm Park Chanyeol" he stated. "Nice to meet you Chanyeol. I'm Baekhyun" I tried my best to not look like an idiot as I smiled.

He smirked half-heartedly and asked for my age. "I'm 20, my birthday was in May" I told him. He nodded. "Then I should call you hyung. I'm 19, my birthday's in November" He told me.

I nodded and things got quiet.

And awkward.

Until Kyungsoo broke the silence.

"So, Chanyeol here has lived with my parents the last four years, but now that I am not home anymore, he wanted to move as well, so we're just looking for a roommate for him" He explained.

"Okay. Well. Very nice to meet you Chanyeol. But I know nothing about you" I said hesitantly. "Isn't that the point?" He asked and chuckled, then held a cute smile for a couple of seconds, looking at me and then down at his hands.

Wow.

That smile.

"Sure" I said and then turned to Kyungsoo. "I need to talk to you Kyungsoo. About... you know..." I said and hoped he would understand.

"Yeah okay. Chanyeol, you can head into the kitchen and grab something to eat if you want. We'll be right back, okay?" Chanyeol nodded and I and Kyungsoo left the livingroom.

"So... does he know?" I asked nervously. Kyungsoo looked at me for a couple of seconds. "Kyungsoo! Does. He. Know?" I asked. "Oh you mean that you're g-" he almost blurted out but stopped himself. "No hyung, he doesn't know. Why? You find him attractive?" He asked me looking very amused.

"Uuh... well... I don't know! But I'm not so sure it's gonna work to live with him for very long" I told Kyungsoo.

I could hear the sound of a refrigerator being opened from the kitchen. So he was up now.

We went into the kitchen too. Kyungsoo first, and me following. I sat down on one of the chairs as Kyungsoo leaned on the counter while Chanyeol was drinking water.

And suddenly I noticed something.

Ha was so TALL.

He was like a giant, like 1.80m at least!

But then I noticed I had been staring at him while thinking, and we made eye contact for a brief second before he turned his gaze away from me, taking another sip of his water.

"So... did you decide anything?" Chanyeol asked us - mainly me.

"Yeah you seem weird" I said.

He sighed.

"So when do you want to move in?"
