roommates

problems

previously:
"jinnie- seokjin?!" i yell. he swallows hard. "ta- taehyung?!" he says back. i swear i felt my heart stop. his eyes look so broken. he looks traumatized.

'what the actual f*ck!?!?" i think.

<taehyungs pov>
there was an awkward silence that filled the room. i cleared my voice and spoke. "umm, seokjin... it's uhh nice to see you again?" i try to say in a confident and unaffected tone but fail. it comes out as more of a question.

he nods and sighs. "yeah it's been awhile huh? ho- how've you been?" he sorta whispers but it's still audible. "i'm fine i guess.. soo how've you been?" i ask the awkwardness still there.

"look i can't do this. this entire act. we've dated and all back in high school that's all.  we were nothing serious." he says. i feel my feel my chest tighten.
'we were. i thing serious.'
those words keep replaying in my head. i was so caught up in my head i didn't hear him shouting my name until something hit my head.

<seokjins pov>
'holy sh*t holy sh*t holy sh*t holy sh*t holy sh*t holy sh*t' that's all i can think right now. i mean what else can i think. my ex aka my first love is my new dorm-mate. i can sense the awkwardness in the room.

i was glad he broke the ice for a bit. i can sense the act we were playing, so i just said right off the bat "look i can't do this. this entire act. we've dated in high school that's all. we were nothing special."

it hurt me to say that. we were something special well at least that's what i thought. he was my first crush, first boyfriend, and first ex. now that i think about he was 'my first' for a lot of things... 'includ- PULL IT TOGETHER JIN!'

overall he was a special person to me. but i couldn't show that. or else he'd know my weakness. "now pick your room i haven't picked mine so just choose one." i mentally patted my back for not stuttering and turned around and continued cooking as if he were just a normal roommate.

i could sense him starring at me. and i didn't like it, not one bit. but about several seconds later i heard his footsteps and a luggage rolling. i sighed in relief and rested my hands on he kitchen counter. he funny thing is the recipe i'm using is taehyungs grandmas recipe she taught me when we were a thing.

i hadn't realized that a tear had fallen down my cheek. one by one they all fell. i wiped them all and sniffled. i couldn't cry not now not when he's in the house. in fact i shouldn't cry for him, i said it myself we should stop the act and start over.

i put the cookie dough into the oven and went to see what room he chose so i can set mines up.

taehyung and jin has picked there rooms. in the dorm there were 5 bedrooms. jin made sure to choose the farthest one from taehyung. this didn't go unnoticed by the latter. he would be lying if he said it didn't hurt him a little. but he shrugged that feeling off.

jin set his room up in a couple of hours.
jins room:

not long after taehyung finished his room as well
taehyungs room:

taehyung unconsciously went to jins room and leaned on the doorway with his arms crossed. jin was on a chair placing all his books into a bookshelf on the wall.

tae couldn't help but admire the man. he grew up well he thought. still as charming as he was in highshool. tae mentally slapped himself. what was he thinking the two weren't even dating anymore, and he had a girlfriend now he can't be complementing another. let alone his ex.

his eyes fall to jin struggling to reach the top shelf his plump butt jiggled as he jumped a bit to reach the shelf. tae stares wide eyed at the mans a** without him even know.

before seokjin even noticed the man presence he began to lose his balance and fell backwards. he closed his eyes getting ready for impact but before his body could reach the floor. he felt himself being carried.

when he opened his eyes he saw the person he did and didn't want to see at the same time holding his waist tightly
