"Hello?" Mingyu says into the phone.

Wonwoo takes a sip of water, drumming his fingers on the table.

"Oh, okay. Okay. Got it. Thank you, bye." Mingyu hangs up the phone. He looks at Wonwoo. "The office is going to send Minghao here to unpack his stuff."

"Oh, I have to leave then." Wonwoo stands up. "Bye, Mingyu. Thanks for letting me come so randomly."

"Wait, why do you have to leave? Don't leave-"

"If he sees me here he's going to find me and I'm screwed because he's gonna tease me-"

The doorbell rings.

"Oh shoot." Wonwoo sighs. "Well, I'm screwed."

"Here, follow me." Mingyu stands up and leads Wonwoo to a room, his bedroom, and points to the closet.

"You can hide in the closet-"

The doorbell rings again.

"I have to go open the door, hide wherever you want." Mingyu walks off to the door.

Minghao is probably going to need to use the closet though. Even more awkward.

Should I just go under the bed?

Not a bad idea, Wonwoo decides, and crawls under the bed.

"Hello, I'm Minghao, your roommate." Wonwoo hears Minghao's voice greet. "Though we've met already, yesterday."

"Yeah, nice to see you again." Mingyu replies. "Welcome."

"Yeah, it's nice to finally officially meet you, I've heard a lot about you." Minghao, why?

"What?"

"Oh, nothing." Minghao laughs.

"Need help carrying your things?" Mingyu asks. He really treats everyone nicely, doesn't he?

"Sure." Minghao replies. "Thanks."

"Of course." Wonwoo can practically see the smile on Mingyu's face. It's a nice smile, simple and warm.

Wonwoo hears footsteps approaching, and curls into a tighter ball.

"Here's the bedroom." Mingyu introduces. "This side is my side, your side will be that side. There's your bed, and your closet. Our bathroom is there. We have a mini fridge here too, and a TV."

"It's not as crowded as I thought." Minghao hums. "Pretty comfortable."

"Yeah, it really is pretty good."

Wonwoo feels his nose itching from the dust.

Don't sneeze. Don't sneeze. Don't you freaking sneeze.

And he sneezes. Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot. Screw me.

For a few seconds, nobody says anything.

"So..." Minghao says. "Who's under your...bed?"

"Um, my cat?"

"Our school doesn't allow pets to stay in the dorm." Shoot.

"I-"

Minghao kneels down and peers under the bed, meeting Wonwoo eye to eye.

"Oh," Wonwoo mutters awkwardly. "Hi?"
