                   "ah, these kids," grandma choi sighed as he watched jeongwoo and haruto once again bickering non stop — even in front of the owner of their dorm.

"halmeoni said i should be the one who sleep at the bottom bed-"

"halmeoni didn't said anything like that! she said we should talk about it nicely!"

"nicely means i should be the one you'll follow since i'm older than you!"

jeongwoo could almost feel the angered smoke coming out from his nose and ears as haruto continued annoying him. "you're older than me for like 5 months!  and i think you forgot that i was the first one to live here!"

"why are you boys always fighting, huh?" grandma choi giggled a little before reaching for the two of them, clinging on their arms as she lead the way towards the stairs.

"halmeoni, this japanese is so troublesomme to deal with!"

haruto chuckled as he responded, "and you're too tiring to understand."

"you shouldn't be fighting," she mumbles that made them stop for a while. "you should be friends since you're both at the same age. the only one who could understand each other are the both of you.."

"i'm not very comfortable at that idea, halmeoni."

"i don't think i can do that."

"you can't be arguing forever, right? you still have a long way to go at the university and i don't want to send the both of you off once you graduate without even seeing you reconcile a bit!" grandma choi tearfully says, carressing them both sweetly.

"i don't think i'd ever leave this house, halmeoni," jeongwoo smiled at her, changing the topic on why can't him and haruto get along pretty well.

"ah, hyunsuk won't be lonely then," she softly chuckles.

haruto, clearing his throat as if starting to tell something that would top jeongwoo's, continued by saying, "i won't go back to japan either, halmeoni.."

"i'm happy you treated this dorm as your home, ruto-yah," grandma choi answers, which made jeongwoo to roll his eyes at the japanese secretly.

"this is indeed my home, halmeoni."

"would it be too dramatic if i say that i'm going to name the house under all twelve of you?"

"EH?!" haruto yelped in surprise, causing grandma choi and jeongwoo to flinch from his echoing, deep voice.

"yah!" jeongwoo tried reaching for him just so he could slap his arms away but the old lady immediately stopped him.

"oi.. that's enough, both of you!" grandma choi says as she suppressed a giggle again. "don't worry too much about what i've said earlier. i'm just telling you about my plans. now, go to sleep peacefully and don't argue again, alright?"

she then gently grabbed them by their shoulders and gave them a peck on their cheeks, before waking away.

haruto and jeongwoo only mumbled a good night to grandma choi as they were still in shock of what she had just said, while they continued watching her enter her own room.

finally after seconds of being frozen at the edge of the stairs, the korean was the first one to head towards their room, with haruto rushing too in just a snap.

he even reached the room faster than jeongwoo, that made the younger roll his eyes again upon seeing haruto immediately lying down at the bottom bed. sticking his tongue out to tease jeongwoo, while the latter just groaned in annoyance.

"if only halmeoni didn't lectured us earlier i would've kicked your ass out from my bed," he whispered, gritting his teeth.

"what do you mean?" the japanese confusingly asks, wondering why jeongwoo didn't tried fighting with him tonight.

"yeah, enjoy that until it lasts!" the korean says, grabbing his pillow and comforter and finally climbing upwards the top bed.

"be prepared to freeze, park!" haruto says as he chuckled, which jeongwoo just ignored.

one thing that he hated for sleeping at the upper bed— and probably haruto's reason on why he doesn't like there too, was the air conditioner. since their room isn't that big and the ac was centered directly at the bed, the one who sleeps at the upper gets the whole blew the ac was giving.

without saying anything, he tried his best to sleep, ignoring haruto's teasing whines of him finally having the bed he wanted.

soon after, he finally dozed off before he could even feel himself shiver because of the temperature.

"rise and shine!" jeongwoo flinched upon hearing someone harshly knocking on the door, probably their hyunsuk hyung waking everyone up to eat breakfast.

he grunted as he still felt sleepy, moving a little to change positions since he could feel his neck aching due to staying —

WHAT THE HELL?!

jeongwoo was taken aback upon seeing himself in haruto's arms while he was also, unconciously, hugging him back. the older seems to be still asleep as he even hugged him tighter, murmuring something he couldn't understand.

"how did i.." jeongwoo bit his lips in nervousness. "ended up hugging you again..?"

he did tried to collect the last moments before sleep came across him, and he still remembered lying down at the upper bed, ignoring haruto who kept teasing him until he went to dreamland.

so why was he now at the bottom bed together with the japanese?

no wonder he didn't suffered freezing and even felt cozy for the whole time he was asleep!

"yah, park jeongwoo! watanabe!" jeongwoo shuddered for the second time when he heard hyunsuk slamming their door, trying to wake them up. he was about to yell back when he suddenly felt the pair of arms, that was hugging him, gripped him tighter.

"come down for breakfast, it's already eight!" hyunsuk followed as he knocked again.

"hyung, we'll just follow!" jeongwoo quickly glanced when haruto suddenly screamed, then just went back to cuddling him.

"y-yah.. watanabe-"

"shh, i'm still sleepy," he mumbled in a low, hoarse voice as he nuzzled closer to the korean.

"then go back to sleep.. i'll head down-"

"i said shh, park," haruto breathlessly whispered, tugging him closer as if he wasn't the park jeongwoo whom he always quarrel with every minute of everyday.
