"are you sure you can handle him? he's a foreign student, woo. from japan," hyunsuk opened the door more for him to talk, and he saw the younger korean nodding at him.

"chill, hyung, he's just going to share a room with me, it's not like i'm going to parent him," jeongwoo chuckles as soon as he was done moving all of his things to the side of his room.

hyunsuk, the grandson of the owner of the dorm jeongwoo stays for his college life, nonstop asked him questions if it was okay for him to finally have a roommate, since jeongwoo had heen alone in his room for about a whole semester or more.

"silly," hyunsuk laughs. "the language barrier, i meant."

"oh," jeongwoo turned his head to him. "it's okay hyung. mashi hyung had been teaching me a lot of nihongo these past few weeks since junkyu hyung had been asking him to. and besides, i thought he knows hangul?"

"well yeah, that's what halmeoni said. and he'll arrive maybe later before dinner," hyunsuk motioned him to come down. "jihoon and jaehyuk visited, by the way. they're downstairs playing video games. join us?"

jeongwoo beams before nodding multiple times. "i'll just change bed sheets for the upper bed, hyung. i'll come down in a minute," he tapped the bed at the top of him, confirming that he's going to let his new roommate to have that space.

"you really won't let go of the bottom bed, won't you?" hyunsuk laughed out loud as he slowly closed the door of jeongwoo's room.

when the older was gone, the tan skinned korean sighed as he looked around the room. guess i won't be owning this room anymore.

"let's just see how's this going to end," he mumbled as he started changing the bed sheets, and rushing downstairs to finally play with his hyungs.

"jeongwoo-yah!" another voice echoed all through out the dorm for the second time around. jeongwoo groaned in annoyance as he finally sat up from sleeping, ruining his hair and whispering curses, pointing it to whoever woke him up.

"coming!" he followed, standing up and not even minding his pajama and oversized shirt. he ran downstairs and noticed hyunsuk and his grandmother sitting at the living room, entertaining someone.

"halmeoni! hyung!" jeongwoo called, walking towards them until all of them glanced at him. his eyes almost widened when he noticed that an unfamilliar man talking to the two chois was now watching him too.

"aigoo, this sleepyhead!" grandma choi laughs a little before standing, coming closer to jeongwoo while hyunsuk just chuckled at him, "yah, jeongwoo! fix your clothes!"

when jeongwoo looked down, that's when he realized that he's a total mess. his oversized shirt was shifted on his left side, causing his collarbone and some part of his chest on the right to be visible. his pajama was also rolled up to his knee on the right side, while the other was still a little okay.

"sorry!" jeongwoo bowed down in embarrassment as he fixed his hair, his shirt and his pjs. he heard them wheezing so he decided to fasten up his movement to finally face the unknown man beside hyunsuk.

"done, sorry," he apologized again while grandma choi only tapped his back softly as she guided him towards the sofa.

"jeongwoo-yah," she beamed. "this is haruto, same age as yours. from now on, he's going to be your roommate. treat him right, okay?"

jeongwoo finally faced the man named haruto, he bowed again to introduce himself properly. "annyeong, i'm park jeongwoo! don't worry, i'm a good roommate! i'll take care of you!" he smiles as soon as he raised his head to meet him.

things he noticed: a tall, handsome and charismatic man in his white turtle neck underneath his black coat. raven hair, cold eyes, straight and delicate nose and lastly, his plump and pinkish lips.

eh? you're too detailed, park jeongwoo!

haruto stood up and also bowed again, and he noticed that their height aren't that much of a distant. the latter's height is just too noticeableㅡ probably because of his legs.

"hello, i'm watanabe haruto," was the only words he said before giving him a small smileㅡ that actually looked more like pursing his lips.

"very well," grandma choi grinned. "now help him with his luggages, woo, and come down you two here again to eat dinner. i'll prepare for it. and suk, call the other boys."

"ne," jeongwoo and hyunsuk says, prolonging the word.

"oh," haruto stopped the three from doing what they were supposed to do. "i'm kind of full right now, halmeoni. i just ate a while ago. can i.. take a rest already?"

his korean is good.

"sure, sure!" she smiled. "you need a rest, my dear boy. just knock on my room, or hyunsuk's, or tell jeongwoo if you need help for anything. have a good sleep, haruto."

the mentioned man only bowed down and mumbled a small thank you, receiving a smile from hyunsuk and his grandmother. jeongwoo then continued to grab two out of his three luggages and one travel bag before heading first to the stairs. "follow me, haruto-ssi."

when he said nothing, jeongwoo just walked silently until they reached their room. he put down haruto's belongings on the other side of the room where a lot of spaces were left and an empty cabinet was placed.

"so," jeongwoo started awkwardly, not liking how haruto stays quiet and cold. "the upper bed is going to be yours, is that fine? i'm just.. more comfortable at the bottom bed-"

"seems fine," haruto cut him off. "thank you for helping me for the luggages. is that the bathroom? i need to change already."

rude. jeongwoo thought as he only nodded at him.

"if you have anything to say about the rules you made for this room, can we just talk about it tomorrow? i'm too tired to think any of it."

"yeah, sure," jeongwoo slowly says. "i'll.. be down then to have dinner-"

even before he could finish, haruto already took his travel bag with him and entered the bathroom, not even hearing him out.

jeongwoo creased his forehead upon noticing that his roommate is insolent, especially now that it's their first time meeting each other.

"way to start a friendship," he says. "and that's a no."
