"There is always space for me," Ji Woo said with a smug look as he pushed Mi Young aside and laid on the bed.
Ji Woo smiled as he looked up at the ceiling, lying on Mi Young's comfortable bed. "What are you standing there for? Join me."
Mi Young glared at him, and with a sigh, he laid beside Ji Woo because there wasn't much space. Ji Woo snuggled into Mi Young's embrace. "So warm," he mumbled.
Mi Young gazed at his head with a chuckle. "Dumb."
"I know," Ji Woo mumbled, already allowing sleep to overcome him.
Mi Young rubbed his head as he fell asleep.
The room instantly fell into silence, their soft breathing filling the air.
---
The sun shone through the curtains, slipping across Mi Young's brow.
Mi Young blinked, trying to dismiss the sleep.
"It's morning already," he muttered, looking at Ji Woo who was still fast asleep.
"Ji Woo," he called, tapping his back softly.
"Mm," a murmur slipped from Ji Woo's lips, but he wasn't awake.
Since the soft method wasn't going to work—
"Ji Woo." Mi Young increased the volume of his voice as he added strength into the pat.
The sudden pain on Ji Woo's back brought him straight from the dream world.
"What?" he muttered, irritated as he looked at the person who woke him up.
"It's time for school."
"Is it morning?" he asked stupidly.
"Yes. Let me take my bath," Mi Young said as he came down from the bed, grabbed a towel, and walked into the bathroom.
Ji Woo laid on the bed, trying to clear the sleep away.
His head was blank at this moment.
"Another tiring day of school." He sighed as he blinked, pushed himself up, and came down from the bed.
The sudden urge to urinate consumed him as he stood up.
"Mi Young," Ji Woo called as he walked to the toilet door and knocked.
Their room's toilet had the shower, bathtub, and water closet in one.
So they defecate and shower in the same toilet.
"What?" Mi Young asked as the sound of water could be heard.
"I want to urinate."
"Wait, I'm almost done."
"I can't," Ji Woo said.
"Then—" Mi Young didn't get to finish before the door was pushed open.
He was naked with soap on his body.
Ji Woo didn't give him a glance as he stood in front of the water closet, brought out his thing, and released the urine.
Mi Young stood speechless but not surprised as he watched Ji Woo's naked butt as he urinated.
"Ahh," Ji Woo moaned in satisfaction when he was done. He grabbed a tissue and cleaned his "little brother," then flushed.
"Are you done?" Mi Young asked, his face filled with disgust.
"Yes." Ji Woo turned, smiling at Mi Young.
"Then leave," Mi Young said, pointing at the exit.
Ji Woo raised a brow. "Why? Are you shy? It's not the first time we're seeing each other naked."
Mi Young rolled his eyes at Ji Woo's rogue words.
"We've even jerked together."
Mi Young's eyes widened in shock, a tint of red showing on his cheek. "I was young and stupid."
"It was just last year."
"Leave," Mi Young's voice rose.
Ji Woo raised his arms in surrender and walked out, closing the door.
Mi Young glared at the door and continued with his bath.
Minutes later, the toilet door was pushed open, revealing Mi Young with a towel wrapped around his waist, his muscles and mermaid line visible.
"Go have your bath. If I dress up before you, I'm leaving."
Ji Woo nodded, knowing he was serious.
Mi Young was the kind who liked punctuality.
And that was what Ji Woo wanted to use to his advantage.
He wanted to walk to school with Soo Jin, but Mi Young scolded him…
So it was better to take his time.
He giggled in his mind as he pushed the door open. Picking up his toothbrush and paste from the small basket, he took his time brushing his teeth.
Once done, he rinsed his mouth.
Guess Mi Young was a quick dresser, as a knock was heard on the door.
"I'm gone, I can't wait."
That was what Ji Woo heard before the door outside was shut closed.
"Good," Ji Woo smirked as he quickened his pace, having his bath. Twenty minutes later, he was out with a towel.
He dried himself, rubbed his cream, and slipped on his uniform. A blue pant and white shirt; he knotted his tie.
He grabbed his black boots, wore his socks, and slipped them on. Grabbing his backpack, he pushed the door open and closed it behind him.
He ran to Soo Jin's room door.
Knock.
His fist hit the door.
"Soo Jin," he called.
No response.
"Soo Jin," he called again, hitting the door.
He heard some movement behind the door before it was pulled open.
"Ji Woo?"
Ji Woo looked up, disappointment settling on his face. "Min Jae."
Min Jae smiled at the change of expression.
Ji Woo couldn't even hide his disappointment. "He's not here, he went to school."
Ji Woo's eyes widened in shock. All his efforts were wasted.
He lost both ways. Now he would have to walk to class alone.
Alone.
He regretted planning such stupid things.
"Are you going to school now?" Min Jae's voice interrupted Ji Woo's thoughts.
"Yes," Ji Woo nodded instinctively.
"Good. We can go together," Min Jae said. "Let me go grab my backpack."
Ji Woo nodded, happy. He didn't like walking to school alone.
So boring.
A few seconds later, Min Jae came out with his backpack and closed the door behind him.
"Let's go," he said to Ji Woo with a smile.
Ji Woo didn't even know when a smile slipped onto his face.
He liked Min Jae's aura—so calm and cool.
They both walked down the hallway into the elevator.
The elevator closed as Ji Woo tapped the button.
