"i'm sorry, are you okay?" minhyung held his hand out to the younger, concern laced over his actions. he hadn't seen the younger while opening the door. 'i should've knocked.' the canadian thought regretfully.

the black-haired ignored the hand and stood up by himself, dusting off his clothes. "it's fine." he reassured softly, not really having the courage to maintain a normal human conversation nor make eye contact.

luckily, minhyung understood the younger and didn't push further. "oi mate, you're blocking the entrance." jeno complained to his brother in english, his canadian accent striking everyone's ears.

minhyung rolled his eyes before stepping aside to let the four youngsters in. "it's not his fault. i bumped into him and caused him to obstruct the way, i'm sorry." jaemin apologized to the four, shocking everyone with his english and accent.

meanwhile jisung was hiding behind the couch, too scared to talk to the others.

donghyuck was the first to break the silence. "woah..." chenle nodded, agreeing to donghyuck's amazement. "how'd you speak like that?" "i- i used to study in australia." jaemin's face was flushed, he wasn't used to having multiple strangers staring at him at once.

renjun spoke up: "so um. we actually have to lucky draw our roommates so why not start now?" jisung and jaemin looked at him in surprise, how did he know? renjun noticed the confused look on the six human's face and pulled out his phone. "a teacher told me via text."

chenle took some paper and wrote numbers corresponding to the rooms, crumpled them into balls and threw them in the air. each of the students chose one ball and random. "on the count of three, open it." donghyuck said to which everyone nodded.

"one... two... three!"

"okay, it's not too bad."

"YES, I'M WITH YOU!"

"oh god..."

"shit."

"it's fine."

"whatever, at the end of the day, we're all humans."

"meh."

the boys then went to their respective rooms and began to unpack. two happy with their pick, three not giving a shit and another two inwardly panicking.

"哥，我很高兴我能和你啊！(hyung, i'm so happy to be able to be with you!)" chenle exclaimed happily as he jumped onto the humongous bed. renjun chuckled at the younger's action before going to unpack his stuff. "我也是啊，但我比较想要跟帝努一起住。(me too, but i want to room with jeno more.)" the younger chinese pouted, mumbling something about the lack of respect.

"请- 请问你们是睡床吗？(ex- excuse me but are you guys sleeping on the bed?)"

the sudden voice startled the two. they looked over to jaemin who was just standing by the door looking at them. it was dead silent for about ten seconds before chenle finally spoke up. "you- speak chinese?" he received a smack on the head. "no shit, sherlock. he just spoke it, and it was directed to you."
