THIRD PERSON'S POV

Eight months ago, Mark was too excited to have a new dorm and a roommate who was single and would never treat him as a national third wheel on his own room (because his certain previous roommate has done that).

He decided to find a new dorm because he couldn't longer take the moans, body-slapping sounds and dirty talks from Ten, his best friend slash former roommate and his best friend's boyfriend, Johnny. Don't get him wrong, he's happy for his whipped best friend because Johnny was Ten's first ever crush and the main catalyst of his best friend's homosexuality at the age of nine but Mark couldn't stand to adjust every single time. He's fed up with their unusual kinks and it's not healthy for a (virgin) young adult like him to be exposed with these kind of stuff (he wants to stay innocent, you know).

Mark doesn't believe in love and a relationship that lasts. The reason he's still single all his life is not about him being a hopeless romantic guy waiting for his soulmate. He's just too far from that. He believes that people do come and go and all relationships are short-term, if not, just temporary. He tried flirting but decided to stop when he started to establish some feelings (which Ten found stupid because that's the turning point of having a relationship).

He remembered that he wanted to have a single roommate. He was happy when he saw a quite handsome man sitting still and not moving (maybe he was taking a nap on the couch) when he entered their apartment unit for the first time. He didn't see other people inside or hear strange noises. It was a brand new start, he could feel it. He was about to greet the other when he heard his roommate shout.

"Fuck, I'm gonna fucking come, baby." Mark was definitely scarred for life. He wrong. It was not a brand new start to begin with. He decided to go out and just greet his new roommate some other time when he's alone. Good thing his things were still outside.

Once again, Mark accepted the fact that he was the one to adjust in his new dorm. Maybe someday, he will celibate for a roommate for his own sanity and peace of mind.

Mark is friendly in nature but he's just too careful in choosing new people in his life because he prefers few friends to deal with and care for. He just knows when to be closed with a person but most of the time, he's not wasting his effort to involve himself to others.

Less people, less shit to deal with. Yep, that was Mark's life motto.

In terms of his roommate, Mark chose the older. He didn't bother to get more involved with Lee Taeyong. The only thing that connects them together is that they are roommates, nothing more, nothing less. They're not friends but they're civil and acknowledge themselves as roommates. There were no verbal or written rules or restrictions for the two of them that's why it's okay for Taeyong to bring different people weekly or monthly (to fuck around with) without hearing any complaints from Mark.

Mark got used to it, used to the older's habit.

"Hey, Mark! Wanna watch Harry Potter movies?" Taeyong turns his head when he heard the beep of their door without removing his arms around a not so familiar face and a whole different person from last week.

'he brought a new person. Welp, that doesn't surprise me. I feel bad for them' Mark thought.

"Thanks but no thanks, I've already read all the books so I'm good." Mark replied shortly before walking to his room.

Mark thanked himself for totally not being close to Taeyong because it's not obvious that he's awkward and just avoiding the older's attention. He's also sure that his roommate doesn't mind because he knows Taeyong has many friends in this university so why bother befriending his roommate whom he only sees at their dorm.
