Until the Meet Cute!

Part 3

Techno insisted on accompanying Type to his dorm to help him settle down. Type didn't mind so he let him tag along. When they reached the dorm room, the door was already unlocked, and two guys were arguing about the limited space.

"You really think this is a good idea?" Lhong was persistently trying to convince Tharn to move back to their apartment.

"It's fine Lhong...I told you already." Tharn seemed unaffected and busied himself in arranging his cupboard. Lhong sighed and began to lay his books, guitar, and other stuff on the table.

Type and Techno entered. Techno was surprised to see two boys in the room.

"Type...you sure this is the room? There are two guys already here." Type looked for keys in his pocket and it had the same room number written on it.

When Lhong heard the hisses, he turned around. He saw Type with the same meek guy who was being hit during the tests, nudged Tharn to turn back.

Type was stunned to see Tharn when he turned towards him. He froze on the spot. Tharn smiled.

"Hi..." He said softly. Lhong could already see the light burning in Tharn's eyes and to his surprise Type's reaction was something not to be missed.

"Are you both staying here?" Techno asked looking at Type's frozen expression.

"Um no...only Tharn will be here, I only came to help him settle." Lhong explained. He extended his hand, "I am Lhong, this is Tharn. We are studying Music."

"Ah okay. My name is Techno, and this is Type. He will be staying here, and I came to help him as well." Techno shook Lhong's hands. "Oh...I am into Physical Education, and Type is an Engineering student." Lhong was surprised.

"Oh aren't you too in Sports?" He asked Type.

Type was shocked. "Um, we saw that football match when we came for our admissions. You had scored highest then." Lhong explained.

"I was only helping him out." Type replied curtly. To which Techno explained, "Actually, Teacher asked us to show our talents in football. We were short of one person...so, I had asked Type to join us. He was a football champion in our school. Now, the teacher has been after my life to persuade Type to join our team."

"Oh!" Lhong nodded.

Type dropped his luggage and turned to unpack his stuff. His ears were red, and he could feel heat permeating his body to the extent he felt he had a fever.

Tharn chuckled and whispered. "Cute..." Luckily Type did not hear that. The person who did was standing next to him and facepalming on the situation.

In the evening, Type and Techno went out for dinner.

"What's wrong Type?" Fearing the changes he observed in Type, he asked him.

"Nothing eh, Techno..." Type answered with the same perplexed expressions.

"Something's wrong...you've become too silent after meeting your roommate. Don't tell me you have a crush on him. He's quite handsome no doubt." Techno teased him.

"Ae No...do you want me to smack you..." Type glared.

Techno laughed. "Hey, Type...tell me honestly...what happened?"

"I don't know...I felt like a déjà vu...like I had seen him before..." Type answered. "Forget it...let's eat."

They finished the dinner and strolled around the dorm a bit and then Techno bid him goodbye. Techno lives with his mother and his younger brother. His father usually travels abroad for business deals. His mother is a Professor at K University. His younger brother was in high school still but was much smarter and cunning than Techno.
