ONE

JUNGKOOK'S POV

"........room 93 Oh how lucky your roommate is V, he's popular around here." The student who was filling in for the administrator said. A girl behind me spoke up "too bad he's gay otherwise..." she left the sentence at that insinuating something else obviously as both girls snickered.

"It runs in the family, have you seen his brother" she hissed making that sound that comes out when water comes in contact with fire or anything really really hot like a stove you know? The other girl fanned her face with her bony fingers obviously just having fun with the exaggeration.

Okaaaaaaay "Thank you ladies."

I my received my dorm keys from the girl and turned back looking at the map sent to my iPad to locate my dorm room. Which was on the other side of the campus?

After a couple unanswered knocks I turned to door knob to see if it was open or locked. It crept open "Hello...helloo....halloo..." I walked in first peeking in just my head then went through the dorm and bathroom. No one was in. With curiosity, I looked around observing the room. It smelled fresh, clean notes of lavender in the air a bit. The walls spotless and glossy white and so was the floor, clean and tiled with dark oak hardwood flooring reminiscent of the early 2000s decor styles that I only knew of thanks to my high school best friend's brother who was interested in architecture.

I got to the other door inside with the golden handle, it was open and I assumed that was my room. I got it to open all the way through and that's when i realized it wasn't mine, the room was filled with items that clearly belonged to this V I was to be rooming with. The bed was well made with crisp white covers and grey pillows. His study desk was messy with books, notes and a couple USB drives. I went over to flip through it oh is he studying medicine? What field exactly? I moved on from the desk and went through his drawers the first one had gaming items, some stationary items what's he popular for then? He seems basic, boring even. I retreated from the room to find mine. My door handle wasn't gold that annoyed me a little but i carried over my luggage to my bed first to take out my toiletry bag from one of my luggage bags and went to arrange them in the bathroom. It smelled clean cut freshness from mint or peppermint. The white tiles were very cold even against my socks i ran back to my luggage bag to get my slides.

I finished arranging my items from the opposite side of his items and when I got back in the common room I saw a blonde guy going through V's door

"Hi." I said from across the room. He came out of the room with a couple of clothes draped over his arm and neatly pressed them neatly on the couch.

He turned back to face me "oh ...hi .I'm Jimin" he looked at me with a friendly face, coming to meet me where I was.

I stretched my hand out for a handshake "I'm Jungkook. Your new roommate."

He let out a laugh returning back where he was to take out a light bag from under the bed as he said "No I'm your roommates boyfriend, he's going to be staying overnight at the lab ,I'm just here to get him a change of clothes. It's his 3rd night there so....."

"But the semester only began this week?" I curiously asked what a nerd.

Jimin laughed and tugged his left earlobe down then said "Neuroscience is very competitive. And he has to keep the status quo as the Victorious king ...Hence the nickname V." He said the last part mockingly.

Finding him friendly and funny I simply nodded to keep the conversation short as I could tell he was in a hurry.

We said out byes and I went back to packing the rest of my stuff up. Happy to be here. I reached out to turn the Bluetooth on for music.

The campus is so huge from what I've seen so far I wonder when I'll run into Tae....I wonder if he'll even acknowledge me I told him not to talk to me after all and he listened....it's kind of pathetic to cross oceans for a love you never had...he'll definitely think I'm weird and pathetic so I should probably act surprised or forgetful when I see him. IF I SEE HIM... I'll make sure I see him.

These are the thoughts I kept thinking of as I was just laying on my bed like a starfish. Bored I checked the time to see that it was 5:30pm no wonder I'm hungry so I grabbed my wallet and car Keys then dropped my car keys back down on the bed choosing to walk and sight see the campus, I also took the chance to switch off the music and ran for the door. Opening the door I was met by two girls holding two baskets of ...you know those various gifts combined in one basket usually for lovers on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day? Yeah those! That's what they each held

"oh great! Is V In?" They chimed their features sharp as the dorm light hit their faces showing the perfectly sculpted points and glow. "No, i'm his roommate you can leave a message with me."

"Uhm is his boyfriend in then?" The bleach blonde girl asked in broken Korean, using a dead dialect. why so racist?

"No Jimin is with V ...not here. Now excuse me I have somewhere to go." I replied in English maybe my accent wasn't as natural but it was fine better than her Korean definitely.

The other ethnic girl with dreads tied in a bun then politely asked in English "Alright then. You are?"

"Jungkook" I replied closing the door behind me.

"Could you please give these to V, he never has time to eat properly." She politely asked extending out the gift baskets to me along with her friend who also had a bouquet of red roses in her basket. Not sure if he's supposed to eat them too idk maybe they're edible you never know with foreigners.

"Thank you JK make sure he gets them will aye"

All food places were not filled with people one of the servers at the restaurant I chose to eat at was kind enough to give me conversation she told me that for the first two weeks students were going to be busy some partying to compensate not having a Greek life culture at the school....sororities and fraternities Ah American TV ,then the overachievers competing amongst themselves starting with the syllabus to get ahead of everyone else guess which category my boring roommate falls under ha! .And then the rest will just be settling in or just chilling i wonder what sports guys do cause I'm probably there with them.

I knew I was going to be alone in my dorm tonight so I went ahead and bought two servings of desert for myself.

The key wouldn't turn and the music louder than I remembered. So I tried to turn the doorknob just to see and voila the door was open.

I must've forgotten to lock the door. And left the music playing damnit.I got in and closed the door behind me, and then there on the couch was Jimin sitting shirtless on top of a guy in an oversized unbuttoned shirt making out. The door closed rather soundly and they both stopped looking back at me. Me who was covering my eyes.

"Kookie?"

Whhhat Tae's voice? Uncovering my eyes right there and then I saw Jimin standing up putting his shirt back on and Tae staring blankly at me.
