The dormetry smell like fresh wood and fabric softener. Room 306 was small ,two bed ,two desk and one shared closet. But to Ahmad ,it felt like a whole new world. A quiet and clean state.
Hyunwoo dropped his duffeled bag and exhaled dramatically.
"Finally! I tought I was gonna melt in that rain."
"You almost died." Ahmad muttered, pulling his wet hoodie and tossing it on chair.
Hyunwoo paused,eyes drifting to Ahmad's broad shoulders before quick looking away.
"Thanks again ... for catching me . I'm still embarrassed."he said ,brushing his wet bangs out of his face .
"You were lucky ,I was there."Ahmad replied calm but kind.
Hyunwoo gave him a playful smirk. "So you're serious type, huh?"
Ahmad raised an eyebrow.,"Is that bad thing?"
"No!" Hyunwoo said quickly "just...interesting."
There was a brief silence as hyunwoo start unpacking his stuffs while Ahmad watch him with curiosity.
"You're really... organized,"Ahmad said,noticing Huynwoo lining his moisturizer like soliders.
"I like things neat .And soft .And... cute." He glanced over with a wink. "Don't judge me."
"I'm not ." Ahmad said while looking away, "it's just different ."
Hyunwoo tilted his head. "Different... from what?"
"From what im used to."
Ahmad didn't elaborate or Hyunwoo didn't push. Instead he sat on his bed letting his legs dangle off the edge.
"So you're from Pakistan? "
"Lahore. " Ahmad said.
Hyunwoo: "That's cool . I've never met someone before from there. Is it really hot?"
Ahmad: "Usually but I miss it "
Hyunwoo softened his gaze. "Do you really miss.... your family?"
Ahmad looked into the floor, "Not right now."
The silence that followed isn't awkward, its respectful.
Hyunwoo stood & stretched, his sweat shirt riding up before he pulled down. "Well you've got me now. I'm your new family. "
Ahmad blinked..."you're a lot for someone you just met."
"I'm liked that." Huynwoo said with a small grin. "But don't worry I don't bite."
Ahmad: "...Good. "
A beep interrupted, Huynwoo glanced at his phone. "Crap, I left my charger in the main room. Be right back! "
He rushed out , slippers slapping against the floar . Ahmad sat back ,exhaling . Alone again for a moment. He looked around the room that filled with two energies like the Day and Night .
Fifteen minutes passed. Rain began again tapping slightly against the window.
Then the door flung open.
Hyunwoo stumbled with a charger, panting, wet again slightly. "It's start raining again, this city really hates me - Ah! "
His foot slipped on the wet tile . He let out a sharp gasp ...And fell forward...straight into Ahmad's chest.
"Whao!"
Ahmad instinctively caught him again, hands firm around his waist.
Huynwoo blinked up, eyes wide, face very close,his voice breathing, "okay... you really have a thing to catch me."
Ahmad didn't smile, but didn't let him go either. " you need to stop falling for me. " He said dryly.
There was a deep silence....
Ahmad: " I'm too tired & sleepy let's get some sleep. "
Hyunwoo: "yes I'm sleepy too... "
(Lights off.)
