𝗪𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 ― 정국 + 남준

THE HAND firmly stays in place as the elevator doors reopen, revealing a male with dark brown hair. Taller, older. A little wet from the rain.

His eyes softens as soon as he saw Jungkook holding down the open elevator door button. He shifts one grocery bag from one hand to the other, leaving no free hand, and steps inside the elevator.

No one says anything as the elevator doors close. Jungkook lifts his hand to push the 7th floor button when the guy asks, "sorry, can you push the seventh floor button for me?"

Jungkook does. And silence commences.

Jungkook eyes the guy's grocery bags. Paper. Looks pretty heavy. Was that a Sour Patch Kids? He realizes he's hungry, but lightens as he remembers the food her mom cooked for him.

"Are you on the seventh floor too?"

Jungkook snaps his head up, looking at the guy who's looking ahead. He realizes he needs to answer him before he looked like a fool, "Oh, yes."

The guy stares at his suitcase and was about to open his mouth if not for the 'ding!' sound from the elevator, indicating they arrived at the seventh floor.

The elevator doors open and the taller male was the one to step out first, followed by Jungkook.

It's pretty loud, on the way to the room. There are blasting music and conversations, some louder than others, all drowned behind doors. But the hallways were empty, only him and the other guy walking.

The farther they walk down the hallway, the lighter it gets. As the sun shines from the large window at the end of the hallway, Jungkook sees the 79th room's golden placard reflect on the ray of sunlight.

He stops just outside the door. His room the second door from the large window, maybe the door beside his is the entrance to the roof.

He hears rustling behind him, he turns his head to see the guy from the elevator, struggling to find his keys.

Jungkook doesn't rush to get inside his dorm room, he watches the guy instead. He's stalling. Obviously. Who wouldn't be nervous to meet a roommate?

The raven haired male looks around the hallways once more, his brows lifts as he sees a forsaken key on the red carpeted floor.

"Yoongi! Open up! I lost my key!" Jungkook hears the guy say, while still eyeing the key. The guy knocks hard on the door.

"Are you even in there?!"

Jungkook, nervous as he is, walks over to the key. He bends down and picks it up.

He feels his hands getting clammy as he pivots back and walks toward the guy. The taller man was fiddling with his phone with an annoyed look when Jungkook arrived before him.

"Uh.." Jungkook starts, trying to get his attention but not knowing what to say. Should he have coughed? Or is that rude?

The older male looks up from his phone, confused.

Jungkook lifts his hand for him to see. The taller eyes the key. The key with the Kakao Talk character keychain.

Jungkook sees the older's gaze soften, his eyes turning into crescents as he smiles at him. Jungkook feels his cheeks burn when he saw the older's dimples.

"Oh, wow. Thank you." He says, as he takes the key from Jungkook's palm. Jungkook wishes he didn't realize how sweaty his hands are.

"I.. found it on the floor." He says. With hesitance.

"Ah, sorry. I'm not usually that clumsy."

Jungkook doesn't respond. What is he supposed to say in this situation? Ask about the weather? Tell him how dangerously handsome he is? Might bring up those dimples too.

"Anyway, thank you again." The guy says, "I'm Namjoon. I guess we're neighbors."

"Jungkook. Me, uh.. I'm Jungkook." Jungkook never wanted to punch himself in the face more than he does now.

"Okay, Jungkook. You're new?" He replies, smiling as if Jungkook didn't just made a fool out of himself.

"I.. yeah, I am."

Namjoon inserts his key to the lock and turns it.

"Hey, if you need help with anything. Anything at all. Feel free to ask me. I'm right across, okay?"

Jungkook's too surprised and too flustered to say anything. Namjoon takes the silence as a yes and he disappears inside his dorm room. Taking his four paper bags and his possible Sour Patch Kids.

It is when no one is on sight does Jungkook reply.

"O.. okay."

Now, to do the inevitable. Open his dorm room door and meet his roommate, and be friends, hopefully.

To say Jungkook is nervous is an understatement.

He jams his hand into his pocket for his room key, hand sweating as the key enters the keyhole.

"Here goes nothing."
