You and Me: We're Dorm Buddies

Day 00

Balding patch came up with a stupid plan. Putting me, a girl into the boarding school filled with a bunch of rebellious, hormonal boys has got to be the most idiotic thing in his book. Side note, it might actually be interesting to be a boy. Boys have no emotions. Boys are made to protect. The male species have no absolute excuse to not be violent. Their hearts could possibly be made up of stones. Just like my father. It's no longer - if I were a boy. I will be a boy. I am going to be a boy. Boys are allowed to play soccer. Girls are constantly being looked down upon.

I am tired seeing how they are trying to break my team apart. It’s a delicate process in a whole.

<.>

Everyone should have seen the look on Kim Jae Rin’s face when it was announced that Byunghun and I were to leave Seoul High for the semester. Easy girl. I know that you will miss me. I didn’t back away without a fight. I left a beautiful note to remind her that I, Park In-Na will make reappearance. Just you wait, prancing ballerina. Your sweet disaster will come back and we will continue on our battle against pride.

I smeared chicken grease against the ballet’s studio flooring, complete with radishes and chili flakes. Consider her lucky. We ran out of pepperoni and cheese. I know, perfectly well that she’s into fancy western cuisine rather than Korean delicacies. I care about her diet requirements. See how much I care for you, Kim Jae Rin? Can you feel my sincere heart? Can you? Teen Top helped. We had a blast.

On another note, balding patch did say that I would learn a thing or two during my stay in an all-boys boarding school. He has got to be kidding me.


Day 01

I don’t live for nothing.
I believe in tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s hell. My journey to be a boy starts tomorrow.

.


Day 02

Byung-hun stole a wig from the drama studio. Chances are, I will have a bad scalp infection. It smells like pit. Or something in a cross between sewage pipe and expired milk. I suggested cutting my locks off. He responded with a look, complete with a smack on my hand. I returned a smack on his back.

“We should save money.”

That was what Byunghun said. Can’t he even be much more… ridiculous?

How unfair, Byunghun. Even as a boy, I deserve to look amazing.

Handsome.

Worth swooning over. Girls to swoon over me. Reality ruins it. You ruined it for me. How unfair. We should look good as boys. You have blonde hair and I should too.

We settled on a nerd concept for Park In-Na. I changed my name to Park Niel.

Niel. Niel. Niel. I apologize before hand. I ruined your name with this ridiculous attire, I was made to wear. Was the tailor feeling a little too generous? I will rock this. I will rock this fashion statement. Oversized blazer and muted school tie.

And pit-smelling wig.


Day 03

Greeted by three guys who I supposed are my dormitory buddies. There’s one that threw a soccer ball into my face. Grand entrance. He’s good looking (what am I saying) but his eyes bore with a dark aura. Two, the boy with a natural eye smile whom blatantly yelled lost lamb in my face. Yeah, and you look like you are going to eat me up for dinner, big boy. Thirdly, the tallest out of the three, who slammed the door in my face. What’s their problem?

They locked me out.

I'm grateful I had the chance to witness this story begin and end before my eyes, and to be able to read it. Not only did these stories perhaps awaken this soul inside me who later on has her eyes opened and saw life and the world differently, then yearned to write; about the uglinesses of everything that exists and doesn't; about anything that revolves around themes of angst and slice of life — it kindled that dreamer in me who failed and made that her fuel to write. This helped me find what creations I wanted to contribute to the world; this was the key to door, the awakening of how later on I would write about miseries and sufferings and pain and struggles, in a way that I can believe only I can do.

Lost Dreamers and Dorm Buddies will eternally hold a very special place in my soul, so will you. Thank you.

And also, thanks to you, I was intrigued enough and watched Amélie which became one of my few favorite films, and, like your stories, hold a dear place in my soul.

Hi there! Coming back to this story after years of being away from this site. I remember following every single chapter of this story and admiring the beautiful cover which I, later tried to kinda copy into making my own cover, but unfortunately failed hahaha

Chapter 59: I love him and truly devastated by this news, because i love his friendship with the other members. but i support him going after his dreams. it must've been really difficult for him.
your story is one of the stories ive kept very special in my heart. i read this when i was very young & starting to learn the hard things and sadness life could bring. now, I'm almost 20 and i've experienced too many painful things that I'm surprised I could still continue living.
I came back here after years of not really active reading fanfics like i used to, just to see your story again. I've lost inspiration, motivation for the past years ( i was lost, because of a difficult phase in my life) , I came here to read your story again , just to feel what i felt years ago . i had sparks of emotions when i read your story. i just wanna say how special your story is to me :") you're really inspiring authornim. thanks for being one of the reasons why i am who i am today .

Chapter 59: I was very shocked when I saw the news also, but, it's his decision. And if he wants to pursue his dreams, I have nothing against it even though I can't help but be sad since there would be no more ot6 Teen Top like before but I'm very willing to support him no matter what.
I kind of feel nostalgic since I read your fan fiction back on 2012 too. Right when you were just starting to write this and I so agree on what you said, that's what I also thought when I was reading this and maybe that's one of the reasons your work really got me hooked up. Ljoe really does suit the kind of character you wrote. This is a work of art. It's just so, so beautiful. Your writing style is just-- I don't know, I can't explain it in words but you really do have the talent. I think I would always remember the OT6 moments whenever I would read this story and thank you for that. I feel so nostalgiiiiiiiiic, gah. :(
