Once he bid Felix bye, Jisung headed towards JIN to settle into his dorm. He knew he would be getting a roommate and he hoped it would be someone as lively and outgoing as Felix.

The gate of the college was enough to blow Jisung away, it was HUGE!

No wonder this college has such high fees, the gate itself is so huge god knows how big the campus is gonna be! 

Jisung's mouth dropped open in awe as he admired the gate, completely forgetting he was still in the taxi.

“Sir, are you going to get off?” The driver asked as politely as he could, his patience was running low as they and been standing in front of the college for about 10 minutes. The question pulled Jisung out of his head and he tried his best to hide the embarrassed blush that spread wide on his face.

“Y-yes! Uh, here you go. Thank you for the ride and please keep the change!” Jisung said hurriedly, paying the driver and zooming straight into the campus to avoid embarrassing himself further.

“Ugh! That was hella embarrassing!” Jisung whined to himself as he hid his face in his hands. Taking a deep breath, he went up to the receptionist to ask directions for the boys’ hostel.

“Go straight and take the stairs, after that, take a right turn and you'll reach the dorms. Here is the key to your room. Make sure not to get yourself in any trouble okay? Your roommate just moved in and I hope you'll be able to get along. He is not much of a people person so be careful around him, okay?” The receptionist said politely and she handed him the key. Jisung bowed as a sign of respect and made his way towards the dorms, murmuring the directions to himself so he doesn't end up getting lost.

Room 143.

Jisung opened the door and entered the room, mumbling a small apology as he made his way in. The place was decently clean and he felt relieved. It was rare for a room occupied by a male to be organized and he was glad he wouldn't have to do any extra cleaning.

She talked about this guy as if she personally knew him. I wonder how he would be. She did say he wasn't a people person....I just hope he is not a jerk.

“Excuse me, who are you and did you get in my room?” A new voice interrupted Jisung's train of thoughts. Startled, Jisung turned around to face the person and he felt his world stop.

If he thought Felix was beautiful, then this guy was a freaking angel. Jisung was once again awestruck as his eyes wouldn't leave the handsome man's face.

Coffee brown eyes, soft lashes, full lips and high bridged nose. According to Jisung, he set new records for beauty standards cause he looked like an art piece, carved carefully and delicately by the finest artist alive. His eyes, they were so enchanting, Jisung thought he would get lost in those of the latter didn't blink.
He realized he must have been staring at the boy for too long and knew he looked like a creep.

Jisung stop! You look creepy.

Jisung cleared his throat to chase away his embarrassment.

“Hello, I'm Han Jisung and I'm your new roommate. It's a pleasure to meet you.” He said politely as he reached out a hand for a handshake.

“I'm Lee Minho.” Came a short reply. Minho completely ignored Jisung's extended hand and walked towards one of the two beds and quietly sat down, curling into a ball at how began reading a book.

Well that was awkward. Jisung thought and a small pout subconsciously made its way onto his lips. He felt kind of hurt being straight up ignored like that. He figured that the guy was just socially awkward and would eventually open up.

Taking his luggage, he placed it near his bed which on the other side of the room. He liked how the room had been arranged.

Two beds in either side of room, separated from each other but not too far away due to lack of space. A side table common for both roommates with a lamp on it along with a few books that Jisung assumed belonged to Minho. He also saw a few albums that looked very oddly familiar but was too tired to worry about them. He also noticed a cupboard and on opening it, he saw how it had been cleanly divided into two sections. One for him and the other for Minho.

He had to admit, Minho was very well organized and that made him a bit nervous. He was a mess of a person and now that he had someone as serious as Minho by his side, he would have to try his best to remain a little civil.

He sighed at the thought. No more lazying around I guess.

“Hey Minho, do you mind if I use the bathroom?” Jisung asked. Minho looked up from his book only to give Jisung a are-you-kidding-me look. Jisung realized how stupid his question must have sounded a light blush settled in his cheeks.

“S-say, how old are you?” Jisung asked once again.

“19.” Minho replied shortly, he wasn't a fan of small talk and wanted to keep his distance from people. As bad as the situation was back home, Minho preferred it rather than involving himself with other people.

Father couldn't tolerate my presence at home so he sent me here. I liked the peace, guess no more.

“Oh shit! You're older than me! I'm sorry I called you by your name, Hyung. By the way, I'm 17.” Jisung continued and when he saw the latter was not interested at all, he frowned a bit.

I guess it'll take more than a small talk for him to warm up to me. but anyways, looks like I got myself one heck of a cold roommate.
