Ailey's POV
I wondered how Woohyun was. Was he okay? Was he making friends? How were Woohyun and Bi Ho? Were there any girls who were interested in him? God, I sounded like his mother in my mind.

The doors opened inwards as the breeze crept in. Students, students everywhere.

"Hello, could I get the key to my flat?" I smiled at the lady who stood behind the counter, busy as ever.

"Name?" Her eyebrow rose as her fingers were in preparation on top of the keyboard.

"Ailey Park," I rushingly replied.

"Spell?" She looked up.

"A-I-L-E-Y and Park.." I tried raising my voice as the room filled with students who said their farewells.

"Yep. Ailey Park. Seoul. You're in Room 278, Flat 6." She unhooked the key from behind her as she slid it on the counter.

"Thank you," I bowed as I dragged my blue suitcase with me from behind.

Right..Flat 6.. I thought to myself as my hand tightened on the key.

"Are you lost? You look lost," A tall guy towered over me, smiling.

"Which way is it to flat 6? Please." I smiled.

"Are you in flat 6? I'm in flat 6," he grinned as I nodded.

He lead the way as I trudged along at the back, watching all the bustling workers zoom past me like a motorbike.

"What's your name? My name's Lee Sungyeol." He played with his zip, pulling it up and down his coat.

"My name's Ailey, Ailey Park," I smiled back as we got into the cramped lift.

"Is it not Park Ailey? Park Ailey," he looked over as I confusingly glanced back.

"Why do you do that?" I laughed, "I mean, you ask a question and you answer your own question," I continued.

"Good question.. I don't know myself," Sungyeol giggled a little. "So, what do you do?"

"English," I said.

"Really? I take English too," His eyes were shaped like moon crescents whenever he smiled. "Do you have any friends here? From your old school, I mean," he asked.

"Yeah. One girl, she's called Yoo Ri. She lives in flat 5, so she will be spending time with us," I replied.

"Sounds good. Come on, let's go," Sungyeol said as the elevator doors opened, hearing that 'ding'.

"Alright," I followed him as we walked down the hallway, noticing other students who all lived in the same flat as us.

Woohyun's POV
I wondered how Ailey was. Was she okay? Was she making friends? How were Ailey and Yoo Ri? Were there any boys who were interested in her? God, I sounded like her mother in my mind.

"Woohyun, let's go," Bi Ho tugged on my sleeve as his eyes fixed on some girls who walked past.

"Yah, go on your own," I shrugged my shoulder as Bi Ho whined.

"You're no fun," he frowned.

"Play on your own." I replied before closing my bedroom door, unpacking all of my clothes.

Buzz

My mobile vibrated on the desktop as I shuffled over to answer the incoming call.

"Hi dad," I held the phone in-between my shoulder and ear.

"Hey son, how is it there? Sorry I can't be there," he said.

"No, it's cool and yeah, it's nice here." I replied.
