Now that they are roommates, Jongin is finding it awfully hard to avoid Kyungsoo. To be honest he is far too intimidated to even strike up a conversation with the older, never mind that he’s mesmerized by Kyungsoo’s voice. Jongin just doesn’t have the balls to talk to the elder, so every morning he forces himself to wake up earlier even though he is not too much of a morning person, and head to the practice room without even fixing his bed.

Later that day, Jongin decide to stay later doing practice than the other members. He has to work harder than ever, he has something to prove and he will work his ofF just to make his point. It’s been three hours since he started his extra practice and he would have gone and add two more hours or so if not for Junmyeon sending him a worried text, demanding him to come home and rest already.

After reading his leader’s text message he began putting his phone away but had to feel his heart jump out for its sudden vibration.

Junmyeon-hyung calling…

“Geez, I got it already.”

He pressed the green button, placed his phone near his ear and regretted it immediately.

Jongin was greeted by Chanyeol’s excessive shouting and Sehun’s obnoxious voice.

“Yah! Kim Jongin! Where are you?! Are you out playing hooky without telling m-“came the giant oaf’s speech.

“Jongin-hyung hahahaha where are you?! Are you afraid now of coming home because of kyung-“

Jongin imagined bashing in Chanyeol’s and Sehun’s faces right up against his knees.

“Yah! Give me the phone!” came Junmyeon’s voice

“Jongin-ah, where are you? Are you still at the practice room? That’s enough for one day already! Come-“

“Yes, hyung, I’ll be going back now. I’m just fixing my things.”

“Oh, okay! Then come back safely!”

“Yes, hyung.”

The call ended. Jongin pinched the bridge of his nose. It’s okay. Let it slide. Don’t make a murderer out of yourself just because of stupid Chanyeol and Sehun the brat.

“Urggh!!!” Jongin pulled at his hair hard.

Those two! What if Kyungsoo heard Sehun?! What will become of him?!

Stupid Chanyeol! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! And damn that maknae too!

If Kyungsoo really did hear Sehun, Jongin would probably never be able to look at Kyungsoo! And worst case scenario is that Jongin may not even be able to breathe the same air as the elder because of utter shame.

With a heavy sigh, Jongin started his way towards their dorm.

When he arrived at the dorms it was eerily quiet. Everybody else were probably asleep already.

Jongin heaved a sigh and headed towards his room with quiet steps. Just thinking about how messy his bed would look like gave him a headache. His whole body’s sore from practicing harder, he was so hungry, he was agitated and add in the fact a messy bed, these were all enough to almost bring tears in Jongin’s eyes.

Oh, right. He was also roommates with Kyungsoo. Could this get any better for Jongin?

Upon arriving at his room’s door he sent a silent prayer to everything holy he believes in. He prayed that the elder was already asleep. Jongin slowly opened the door and celebrated silently when he was greeted with complete blackness.

Yes!

He tiptoed towards his bed as quietly as possible so as to not disrupt Kyungsoo. He was at the foot of his bed when he heard stirring and Kyungsoo’s scratchy voice.

“J-Jongin-ah?! Is that you?”

even with that voice he still sounds nice.

Jongin finds himself blushing.

.

What? Nice? What?!

.

Why is it so damn hot?

Kim Jongin you idiot! What the hell are you thinking about?!

“-eaten yet?” Kyungsoo asked

Huh? Was Kyungsoo saying something?

Jongin hears the crickets.

An owl hoots somewhere.

It was eerily quiet.

No one was saying something.

.

The blush was back in Jongin’s cheeks.

Still, no one says anything.

Jongin can’t stand it anymore.

He clears his throat.

“Uhm, sorry hyung. Uh hmm uh wh-what were you saying?”

Queue the three seconds of silence…

Three

Two

One…

Kyungsoo finally can’t handle it. He busted out laughing that he almost fell from his bed.

Jongin wishes the floor would swallow him whole and would never return him to earth. Ever. Again.

He felt his cheeks turn even warmer.

Kyungsoo, still laughing, rolled over and turned his desk lamp on.

“Jongin-ah, I was asking you if you have eaten dinner yet.”

All Jongin could see was Kyungsoo’s pretty face illuminated exceptionally well because of the lamp. He never got to see Kyungsoo with this light and Jongin thinks that the elder looks ethereal this way. Yeah, ethereal, just like an angel, just like his voice.

“Jongin-ah?”

Jongin’s mouth was frozen. He couldn’t open his mouth but he was glad when the rumbling of his stomach kept him from embarrassing him any further.

Jongin blushed and let out an awkward laugh.

Upon hearing Jongin’s stomach rumble, Kyungsoo stood up and headed outside.

“Come with me to the kitchen. I’ll make something quick for you.”

Jongin looked up and was greeted with Kyungsoo’s smiling face.

“But- You don’t have to hyung. I’m fine. I-I can look for food myself.” Jongin mumbled.

Kyungsoo laughed “It’s fine Jongin-ah. I’ll whip something up real quick. Come on. We’re roommates now. Let your hyung do this for you!”

Kyungsoo was smiling so wide that the younger didn’t have the heart to say no anymore.

“Th-thank you hyung.”

Jongin sat, amazed, as he watched Kyungsoo move around the kitchen. The elder looked like he was used to doing this. Jongin can’t help but admire Kyungsoo’s small back as he cooked.

.

Not again Kim Jongin! What are you thinking?! You’re afraid of the small guy right?!

Jongin was still having his inner battle when a plate of amazing smelling food greeted his nose.

Kyungsoo sat across from Jongin as the younger ate.

Jongin was munching his food consciously. “This tastes nice, hyung. Th-thank you”

Kyungsoo smiled in response, he then stood up, grabbed a carton of orange juice from the fridge, pulled out two glasses and poured an equal amount on both glasses. He then offered the other glass to Jongin, the latter accepted it with a shy smile.

“Thank you. I’m kind of used to cooking so I guess…” Kyungsoo said kindly.

Jongin ate his remaining food in silence. The younger would seek little glances of the elder across from, hoping to examine Kyungsoo’s face closer.

Come to think of it, this was the first time that Jongin was alone with the elder and he was surprised that his instinct of flight was absent, this was definitely a first. Up close, Kyungsoo’s face was flawless, it was smooth looking. The elder also has milky white skin, making Jongin suddenly conscious of his dark ones. Kyungsoo was wearing a sweater that exposes a bit of his collarbones, giving Jongin a peek of a few moles.

How attractive. Jongin thought.

He felt his cheeks warm at this thoughts.

Ugh now what? What were you thinking?

Meanwhile, Kyungsoo was stealing sly glances at the younger and found him staring. Kyungsoo saw a dust of pink colouring the younger’s cheeks. He was staring, Kyungsoo thought. The older blushed and cleared his throat.

“Are you done, Jongin-ah?”

Jongin looked up, blushed further, and mumbled a yes.

The two stood up, with Jongin carrying his plate towards the sink. He was about to wash them when Kyungsoo tapped his shoulders. The younger looked back.

“Leave it there, Jongin-ah. Let’s just do it tomorrow. You need to sleep. “

“But hyung-“

Kyungsoo pulled the younger towards their room. The skin contact immediately shut Jongin up. He let himself be dragged by the older, observing as white and brown meet. It’s oddly striking he thought.

“Thank you again for cooking for me hyung.”

Kyungsoo hummed in reply.

They arrived inside their shared room and proceeded in preparing for sleep.

Jongin was still left standing as he stared at the elder.

Kyungsoo settled on his bed, his back facing the younger, he can feel the younger’s stare burning holes on his back so he cleared his throat and said.

“I’m glad that you’re not afraid of eating with me anymore, Jongin-ah. Goodnight.”

Jongin processed Kyungsoo’s words far too late.

.

His whole face turned red and he jumped on his bed and covered his whole body with his blanket.

Stupid Chanyeol! He must have told Kyungsoo! Ughh! Now Jongin wishes that his bed would swallow him completely, hoping that the giant called Chanyeol would suffocate in his sleep!

Jongin held his blanket tighter around himself. Now how would he face the elder?! He wants to tear his blanket out- wait. His blanket?

Huh?

Jonign remembered that his blanket was casted on the floor this morning in haste of his escape.

Wait.

His pillows were strewn all over his bed.

So how come that his pillows were arranged properly?

Wait. His bed sheet’s tucked in properly.

He left it untucked this morning.

WAIT. HIS WHOLE BED WAS A MESS THIS MORNING. IT WAS-

.

Kyungsoo must have fixed them.

.

First, the elder cooked for him. Then now this?

.

His heart began thumping uncomfortably.

His face felt hot.

What is this?

Something. Something’s abnormal here.

He envisions a petal falling from its bud.

.

Now his heart’s thumping faster.

.

Do Kyungsoo.

What the hell.

Jongin buried himself deeper under the covers.

He’ll be damned…
