• Chapter 4 •
I walked into the two story home, Chan was helping me wheel in my luggage. By the looks of it no one else was home.
"There are 6 others that live here. The bedroom we have open is the second one we have just down the hall."
The home had a nice little bohemian touch to it. There were quiet a few plants. I wonder whose obsession that belonged to.
I followed Chan down the hall and he sat my suitcases on the unmade bed.
"There's extra bedding down the hall in the stage closet. This is your room for the next two years so I would make yourself at home."
"Don't remind me." I said, not wanting to have much conversation.
"Look, I can tell you don't want to be here. But really it's a good school. And you'll get to meet your other roommates later tonight when they get back from the assembly." Chan seemed to be trying his hardest to make me welcome. "I'll leave you to it. I have to get back but..." Chan looked around and pulled out a pen and sticky note from the desk in the corner of the room. "Text me if you need anything." He gave me a cheerful smile and gave me two thumbs up before scurrying out the door.
Within a second, I felt guilt for being so unnecessary. Mom would be disappointed.
"Chan?" I said stepping out of the room to see he was already almost out the door.
"Yea?" He asked over his shoulder.
"Co-could you help me unpack?" I asked, turning slightly back to the room, looking at my suitcases and then him again.
"I, uh, sure yea." I noticed him look out the front door before closing it all the way.
"Thanks." I said walking back into the room, Chan entered shortly after.
"How do you.." Chan started looked between my two suitcases.
"Red one goes in the closet. Jeans with jeans shirts with shirts, you get the gist." I opened up my black one and started organizing my stuff drawer by drawer.
The room was silent except for the rustling of clothes and hangers and the screeching pull of the drawers.
I pulled out all my electronics and notebooks and organized them on the desk.
"I'm done with this one. Do you need any extra help?" Chan come over to me and asked as he watched my place everything around the room.
"I've got the rest." I said without looking at him.
When I was in my new room alone, I walked over and shut the door, pressing my forehead against it with a sigh.
My phone dinged with a text message. I clicked on my screen to see it was once again from my mom.
I'm sorry I wasn't there to see you off.
So after seven hours she decides to acknowledge that she once again let me down. I just wish for one second, that she would actually acknowledge me as her son. She's such a fucking bitch.
I powered my phone off and dropped it on my bed. I walked out into the hall, grazing the dark oak wood walls with my fingertips until the brushed another doorframe.
I walked into the bedroom, the white walls were decorated with music posters. The bedsheets were mostly black, a few grey decorative pillows spread neatly around the room.
Three crates filled with vinyl records adorned the bookshelves, I couldn't help but flipping through each one of them. On the shelves below was row after row of different music albums.
I turned towards the desk, where a laptop laid closed upon the surface, a little black wax candle that smelled of mahogany and coconut and two notebooks stacked on each other neatly against the wall. A pair of large Headphones dangled from the curved lamp.
The thing that caught my eye the most was a picture frame. A blue haired boy that looked to be laughing, hugging another boy with pitch black hair.
I caressed the silver frame around the picture, taking one last glance around the room with such a dark aesthetic.
"Do you invade everyone's privacy?" A voice came from the doorway, startling me. I turned to realize I was facing the exact same blue haired boy in the photo I was just admiring, he had one ear bud in and the other between his fingers as if he had just taken them out.
"Sorry, I was just-" I stumbled on my words a bit, ashamed of being caught in this strangers room.
"I was kidding. Don't sweat it." The boy walked into the room and dropped the jacket that was draped over his arm onto his bed.
"I'm Hyunjin." I introduced myself, trying to disable the awkwardness of this situation.
"I'm Jeongin. New freshmeat." He said with a chill attitude.
"Im a new transfer." I smiled. Someone else was new here too.
"I know. You can leave my private space now." He said bluntly, putting the loose ear bud back in his ear and leaning against his pillows and closing his eyes.
Damn. So much for charisma.
I walked out of the bedroom, instantly bumping my shoulder into yet another person.
"Jesus! Watch where you're fucking going!" A blonde haired boy cursed at me and disappeared into the room across from mine before I could even apologize.
"Felix! Don't be an asshat!" A short brunette yelled into the hall. "Sorry, excuse him, he's a bit of a sick to everyone. I'm Changbin, you must be Hyunjin."
"Yea, how'd.."
"Chan told us a new transfer showed today, that you were housing with us." He shrugged his shoulders.
More noise came from the kitchen. Laughter mixed with yelling. "Sorry, we all just got back from the assembly."
"Assembly?"
"For the new year."
Oh. Changbin saved me to follow him into the kitchen. I followed him down the small dark hall and rounded the stairs as he walked me straight into the kitchen.
I saw for other boys, a familiar blonde laughing amongst them. Chan looked up and smiled, eyes wide as he pointed me out the the three I haven't met.
"Guys! This is Hyunjin! The one I was telling you about on the walk back." His accent rang throughout the kitchen.
All of the strangers smiled brightly at me and introduced themselves.
The light brunette that had such puppy eyes was Seungmin. The resting bitch face, Minho, and the shorter one with the round blue-light glasses with (annoyingly) adorable cheeks was Jisung.
"Well Hyunjin," Changbin spoke from beside me.
"Welcome to Silverbrook."
