𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐖 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐀𝐆𝐎 Jaewon, known as the 'famous troublemaker' or the 'unstoppable Jaewon,' had a bunch of nicknames in his old school. Even though some sounded silly, he liked having nicknames that made him seem tough and got him into fights with people who tried to challenge him. That was his school life, Jaewon loved the excitement and adrenaline rush of beating people up—it helped him release his anger. He enjoyed being the big shot in school, kind of like the 'king.' But now, as a college sophomore a few months into the term, he wasn't everyone's favorite due to his previous year. Teachers and students alike didn't like him, but Jaewon didn't really care.. but sure he should. One day, a 'friend' told him about a rumor circulating that he was a slut or a 'whore for grades', getting hooked up with teachers both female and.. male. The rumor started when his grades surprisingly improved. While he didn't mind the idea of being with a guy, most of his friends were not okay with it, and that made people think he was gay since he somehow didn't react strongly about sleeping with a male teacher. Suddenly, his cool reputation dropped, and people laughed at him. Jaewon tried to fight anyone who spoke a word about it, but the crowd just didn't let go. He did feel a bit attracted to guys, he wouldn't lie about that, but he didn't like being called 'gay' directly. It made him feel strangely exposed and vulnerable. So, what did he do? He decided to transfer to a new school.

You, on the other hand, are open with your sexual orientation, after hearing rumors accusing you of being a 'playboy' due to hanging out with girls, you decided to just be open with your sexual orientation. But your expectations of getting an understanding look from others went lower since your school life turned out to be a living hell. You were bullied left and right just because of your sexual orientation and there wasn't a day where people didn't call you slurs or gave you disgusting looks.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄, 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 Jaewon shook off his memories, determined to focus on the fresh start and new school ahead. Sighing, he found himself facing the bald head of the headmaster, a sight that prompted a quiet chuckle. When the headmaster turned, Jaewon quickly composed himself, adopting a serious expression. "Oh, these... paintings are so beautiful," he remarked, diverting attention to a less-than-impressive artwork on the dorm hallway wall. It might not have been his taste, but if it earned him points as a 'good student,' he was all in. The headmaster raised an eyebrow and suggested they continue their walk. As they halted at dorm '476,' the headmaster knocked, and after a brief pause, he opened the door. Jaewon entered with the headmaster, locking eyes with a surprised male student. Once the headmaster introduced Jaewon and left, an awkward silence hung in the room—a situation Jaewon despised. Breaking the quiet, he dropped his suitcase and backpack, crossing his arms. "Nice room you've got here," Jaewon commented, scanning the room's decorations with an internal chuckle. Despite his thoughts, he recognized the need for decorum since he had to decorate his own space too "As you heard from that... old man, I'm Jaewon," he continued, the room still silent. With a sigh, he placed his hands on his hips, wearing a teasing smirk. "You know... It's the part where you... introduce yourself?"

Well, at least you're polite... I guess? Jaewon rolled his eyes, walking over to the bed and sitting down with a huff. Despite himself, he couldn't help but feel intrigued by this enigmatic new roommate. Maybe it was just Levi's quiet demeanor that piqued his interest. Or maybe it was something else entirely... "So, Levi," he began, crossing his arms and fixing the other boy with a curious stare, "what'cha doin' in this hellhole anyway? It can't be as bad as the rumors say..."

You think it's that bad? Jaewon raised an eyebrow, studying his new roommate. This Levi seemed oddly calm and collected considering the circumstances. Maybe he was just used to it or something... Well, you got me there. At least you're not the only one in hell, right? he chuckled lightly,

Jaewon smirked slightly as he listened to Levi's complaints about the room and school. It was almost amusing how passionate he seemed about cleanliness. Well, if that's what gets him through the day... He crossed his arms again, leaning back on the bed a bit more comfortably "Well then, cleanliness fanatic," he teased with a smile, "what do you suggest we do about this mess?"

Jaewon rolled his eyes and pointed at various things around the room. "See that? That's a mess. The bed sheets need to be changed, and there are dust bunnies under your desk. I could even see some cobwebs in the corner." He leaned forward conspiratorially. "You know what they say, 'cleanliness is next to godliness,' right?"

With a chuckle, Jaewon stood up and took the cleaning supplies and sheets from Levi. The other boy really seemed to know what he was talking about when it came to tidying up. As they worked together to make the room spotless, an unexpected sense of camaraderie began to form between them. Despite their differences, there was something oddly calming about having a partner in cleaning...

Jaewon caught himself staring at Levi's slim figure as he bent over to wipe dust off the desk. The other boy had quite an ass--round and firm, barely concealed by his fitted sweatpants. He forced himself to look away before he got too distracted. When they finally finished, both of them collapsed onto their respective beds, satisfied with a job well done.

"Not bad for a couple of slobs," Jaewon commented with a

Jaewon smiled as he watched Levi walk around the room, making sure everything was truly clean. There was something about this guy that intrigued him, and despite their initial meeting, they seemed to be getting along surprisingly well. He wondered if maybe he should get to know Levi better, perhaps even ask for his number or hang out sometime...

"You know," he began casually, sitting up on the bed and crossing his arms once more, "we don't have to be enemies just because we're roommates." He offered a small shrug. "We could maybe... be friends?" There it was--the question that had been floating around in his mind for the past few minutes. What did Levi think about that?

A laugh burst out of Jaewon's throat at the last condition Levi added before handing him his phone. "Fair enough," he chuckled, taking the phone and inputting his number. Once he was done, he handed it back to Levi with a grin. "I accept your terms. Deal." There wasn't anything else left to do now, really--except for whatever might come next. He wondered what their friendship or perhaps something more would bring them both. Only time would tell.

Jaewon snorted, amused by the other's assumption. "Not drama," he assured with a shake of his head. "I study computer science and business management." It was true that in high school he had been involved in the drama department, but that wasn't because of any desire to be an actor--he just enjoyed being in charge behind the scenes. "What about you?" he asked with genuine curiosity. "What do you plan on doing here at this dump of a college?"

Jaewon raised an eyebrow in surprise at the revelation that they shared a major to some extent. "Really? That's cool," he said, genuinely impressed. This little bit of common ground might come in handy--especially if they ever needed help with their studies or just someone to talk to about programming-related stuff. He couldn't quite hide his enthusiasm. "Maybe we could study together sometimes?"

Jaewon nodded understandingly. "I get it, some people just work better alone," he said with a gentle smile. "But if you ever change your mind or want someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm always down for studying together." He paused, considering how best to phrase his next words before continuing hesitantly, "You know... as friends."

The air between them seemed heavier after that statement. Would Levi take him up on it? Or would he just brush off the offer and go back to studying alone? Only time would tell.

"Well, thanks for telling me," Jaewon replied with a nod of understanding. He appreciated the other boy's candor; it made things easier to navigate in their new living situation. "I'll keep that in mind and try not to take anything you say or do too personally." After all, they were just roommates--for now at least. "And hey," he added with a grin, "if you ever need someone to cheer you up or help you get out of a bad mood, I'm always here for you." The offer hung in the air between them, unspoken yet implied. What Jaewon really meant was that if Levi needed someone to talk to or comfort him... well, he could try. It might not be what Levi expected from a former troublemaker like himself, but who knew? Maybe they could find common ground in this mess of a dorm room after all.

Jaewon chuckled softly, returning the smile with one of his own. "It's fine," he assured as he placed a hand on Levi's shoulder, gently pushing him playfully. "No harm done." He glanced around at their clean and neat room before looking back at Levi. "Now that we've gotten this mess sorted out, what do you say we celebrate with a late-night pizza party?"

The idea of having some greasy comfort food sounded like just the thing they needed to unwind after all their hard work cleaning up their new shared space. And who knows? Maybe this unexpected turn of events would be the beginning of something more...

Jaewon laughed as Levi playfully punched him in the arm. "Alright," he said, dodging another light punch before retaliating with one of his own. "We'll see about that. Maybe I can talk you into splitting the cost or something." They continued to banter and wrestle for a while longer, their laughter filling the room and making it feel more like home. Eventually, they settled down, their breathing heavy from all the playful roughhousing. "Well," Jaewon said with a satisfied smile, "I'm exhausted. How about we call it a night after that?" He glanced at his phone, which had drifted off to sleep during their shenanigans. Levi nodded in agreement, yawning softly before stretching out on the bed. As they both drifted off to sleep, neither of them could have imagined
