II / Shades of Blue and Red

-Day 1; Wednesday, May 31st, 2017-

Later that night, Kim Junmyeon sat at the table, a book spread out in front of him. The book was small in height, smaller than other books when placed upon the shelf. It had a sleek, dark cover, the bottom edges white and folding up from dropping his book several times.

It was a book Junmyeon had bought when he was fifteen. His parents had taken him on a trip to the United States and he had purchased it there. The book was in English, and even eleven years later he did not completely understand the entirety of the book.

Albeit, he was beginning to understand more of it, as in his first year, he allowed his friend, Kim Minseok, who was a linguistics major, to translate it for him into Korean. He was surprised at how much he had read and understood correctly and the differences between what he didn't. Despite having the book in Junmyeon's native language now, he still preferred to read it in English.

Seo Juhyun emerged from the bathroom, her blonde hair curled and thrown over her shoulder. She had spent over an hour in the bathroom, but didn't appear much different from when she went in. She wore a white shirt which exposed her shoulder and collarbone, and wore black heels that made a clicking sound whenever she walked.

Seohyun and Junmyeon were the same height, standing at five foot and six inches. With Seohyun's heels, she only stood a few inches more taller than Junmyeon, but with the air of confidence she radiated, it felt as if she towered above him by a foot, even without the heels.

"Are you ready?" she asked, tucking her dorm key into her heel.

Junmyeon, who was wearing brown pants with a red plaid shirt, looked up at Seohyun, confused. "Pardon me?" he questioned, furrowing his brow.

Seohyun sighed, as if she had told Junmyeon the same thing over and over and he still didn't understand. "Luhan's party, dumbass." she said, removing a ring from her finger. "We have to leave if we want a parking spot."

"I don't have a car." Junmyeon muttered, turning back down to his book.

"I told you already, Lee Seunghyun is driving." she turned the ring over in her hand, and then slipped it back on her finger, inspecting it. Her hand was adorned in rings, each one different.

"I never said I was going." he muttered again, and Seohyun's heels click click clicked over to him, closing his book shut. He gasped in horror, never having the chance to insert his bookmark. Later, he'd have to go through and find his spot again.

Seohyun grabbed ahold of his sleeve, pulling him over to the door. "Put your shoes on." she ordered. "I'm grabbing the brush. Your hair's a mess."

As she click click clicked into the bathroom again, Junmyeon quickly reached over, tugging on his shoes. Seohyun soon returned with a hair brush and clear plastic spray bottle, filled with what Junmyeon assumed was water.

Seohyun set to work, wetting Junmyeon's hair and brushing it out. As she worked, she bit her lip a little, concentrating.

She was right, Junmyeon's hair was a mess. His hair often curled in the humidity, and seeing as he wasn't really planning on leaving the dorm today, especially this late, he hadn't bothered with it.

After a minute, Seohyun set the spray bottle and hair brush down, and then ran her hand through his hair, fluffing it out. "There." she said. "Now you look presentable enough. I'll do something about those eye bags before I leave, don't worry." she smiled, pressing her thumbs under his eyes. She then turned, opening the dorm door.

They stepped out into the hall, the lights bright. Seohyun led him out of the dorm building and to the parking lot, bringing Junmyeon to a sleek, black car. There was a handful of students already surrounding it, the majority being girls. He knew a few of them, as they often stopped at the dorm with Seohyun briefly.
