"Hey, don't forget me dude ok? I'll be waiting for your return.", You said in a sad tone. You are facing your friend Jacob who is now on the door with luggages beside him.
"No need to worry men, I'll call to you so that we can catch up and check each other out.", Jacob said with an assuring smile. He is feeling sad too at this moment but all he can do was to make this as a happy goodbye since he don't want you to feel the same way as him.
"I will miss you, Y/N. Thank you for the great times. I'm really lucky that I met a friend like you.", he lends his hand for a handshake but you just stared at it because you're thinking of something much better to return for all of those great memories you two had.
You exchanged look at his hand and his face until you stopped, smiled while shaking your head then you reached his body to give him a warm embrace.
"Same, Jay. Have a safe flight, will ya?", you softly said, his ears catched your breath which made him even gonna miss you more because he literally felt the care which he experienced to you all the time at his time with you being his roommate.
The two of you patted each other's back. Then, you helped him carry his luggage through the car waiting in front of your apartment. Before he enters the cab, the two of you shared another hug before bidding each other goodbye.
The cab starts to drive away as you just watched it slowly disappear in your eyes. Then you walked back onto your room and sighed heavily.
"And now, I'm alone again.", you slumped back onto the couch. Legs and arms wide open as you sit in a position where you look like you ran 30 miles in just 10 minutes.
What just happened earlier anyways?
Your friend Jacob needs to leave your room, ending his position as your roommate because he will move now to Los Angeles to continue his studies for college, as per his parents' requests. He can't decline it though because it's his dream to travel to another country, so he has no choice but to accept it.
With the fact of him leaving you and you learning about it, the two of you became sad about it. You two are roommates for 4 years. Jacob moved in to your room because he wanted to experience living away from his family so that he can feel how it feels to be free, where he can do whatever he wants. His parents are quite strict, that's why... but it's a suprise that they allowed Jacob to move away from their house.
And the two of you met as he got introduced to you by the owner of this apartment you're living in. You gave him a warm welcome and you just acted like yourself... being friendly, kind, cheerful etc. Anything you can describe more to a nice person.
The two of you had a great relationship as friends. You two hang out anywhere, help each other on studies, play games together etc. You two are so fun together in the eyes of the public that some thought that you two are siblings who loves and grateful to each other that both of you are brothers.
That's why it's heartbreaking for both of you that the time has come for him to seperate himself away from you. Jacob didn't even expected that there will be a reason for him too not to finish high school, which is what just happened to you both earlier.
You hate being alone again, so while you are seating in the couch you were muttering of something.
"I hope I can have a new roommate with me soon.", you muttered as you want to meet a new person again. You will not gonna forget Jacob though because he's part of the people close into your already.
-TIMESKIP-
It's been two weeks that you're alone in your room and you ain't gonna lie. It's so BORING. The atmosphere is lifeless. You did everything to take away you sadness but nothing worked. You tried to play new games, experiment new cooking recipes, invite classmates to your room and many more. You had fun though but at the end of those moments, it just fades away completely because all of it will end up the same way that you hated: being alone.
You even asked the owner of the apartment everytime if there's someone who came to him already to join into your room but all of his answers were no. He then noticed that everytime he answers it, your expression changes from being serious to sad so he checks on you.
"You seem lonely, Y/N. Is it because you don't have a roommate as of now?"
"Yeah, it's just... maybe I got to be used already on having someone on my side everyday in my room. It feels boring when i'm alone, I don't have someone with me where I can hang out with.", you said to the owner, giving him a glance while keeping your head down. "And you know already sir that I live my whole life not having a family or relative with me every day and night."
"Don't worry, Y/N. I promise you, I will find someone to join you; all you need to do is hang on, ok?", the owner clasped his hands and placed it on the desk and gave you a smile to cheer you up.
"Thanks, Mr. Park.", you gave a small smile at him. You believed him though because you trust him anyways. He gave you already some reasons to prove himself with that.
So you waited again. And now, it's already the 5th day of the last week of October. You checked your alarm clock as it ring, then you turned it off after it successfully woke you up. You did your morning routine.
You were eating cereal in your table when you suddenly saw a silhoutte from outside of the window through the curtains. And it made you even more curious because there were 2 figures right in front of your room already.
It made you startled when someone knocked at your door. You stood up and reached for the door as you unlocked it. The familiar figure of Mr. Park showed up right in front of you, smiling as it looks like he is enjoying what's gonna happen today.
"Good morning, Y/N.", Mr. Park greets you cheerfully. You replied back with a huge grin on your face.
"Remember what you said to me week ago, when you came to my office?", Mr. Park asked me, placing his hands on his pockets.
"Oh yeah, to have a new roommate.", you said.
"Well, good news. I already found one for you.", he smiled at me. Your eyes widely opened, you just couldn't believe it that you're finally having a new roommate after almost a month of waiting.
"Wait, let me introduce you to her.", your eyebrows instantly furrowed when he said 'her'. So you're gonna live with a girl this time? You thought.
It's not that it makes you uncomfortable, it's just you don't know how to interact and move in your room with a girl living with you everyday since you never experienced being with a girl the whole time everyday.
Mr. Park then gave someone a signal to come closer to him. A short hair sky- blue colored woman appeared beside him while wearing a backpack and luggages. Your eyes immediately stared at here because of one simple reason: SHE. LOOKS. SO. BEAUTIFUL.
You gulped at you scanned her face. Her eyes are so shiny, her nose is cute, her skin is so smooth and clear, her lips are plump which is being covered with strawberry lipbalm, her chubby cheeks which you want to pinch it and feel it's softness.
The sunlight strikes straight from her which even made her beauty glow up and got highlighted. You just stared at him while you feel like everything is on slow-mo, starting with her slowly turning her head from Mr. Park to you as she finally about to look at you.
Mr. Park noticed you staring at the blonde woman while she's following his signal so he then snapped his fingers right in front of your eye. That immediately brough you back to the real world as you looked into Mr. Park who's raising his eyebrow at you.
"Y/N, I know she's a gorgeous woman but please you don't have to make her melt at your stare.", Mr. Park smirked at you, he knows that he's right so he tried teasing you. You blushed hard with those words you heard.
"I-i'm not! I-I'm just really focused to see who's gonna be my new roommate so I stared beside you to see who it is.", you defended yourself. You tried hard but Mr. Park isn't convinced with that because he can notice your voice shivering an was about to stuter.
"Alright, well I'll just accept it then", he pouted and nods at you. "Anyways, Y/N... let me introduce you to this young lady here.", he points at the blond woman. She is wearing gray hoodie and black leggings with some FILA kicks. You two finally looked at each other and you're trying your best not to give up on your knees because you really feel weak just by staring at her lovely black orbs of her eyes.
"Y/N, meet Yoo Jeongyeon. She's 19 years old, same as you. She will be your new roommate.", Mr. Park said. You then repeated pronouncing her name on your mind, and thought that it's a beautiful name which fits exactly to a beautiful woman like her.
You then fake coughed at you then took the turn to introduce yourself. "H-hi. I'm Shin Y/N. Nice to meet you and I hope we get along well.", you gave a nervous yet welcoming smile at her as you lend her hand at her.
Jeongyeon then accepts it and places her hand at you. You felt the softness of her skin as you tried not to grip her hand tightly as you cared for it. She gave you a warm smile, showing her white pearly teeth.
Now Y/N, I will leave her to you. Jeongyeon, don't be shy to make Y/N as your friend... trust me he is a good boy.", Mr. Park proudly says as he finally walked away from the two of you. Then it's just you and Jeongyeon standing awkwardly at the front of your room.
"C-come in.", you stuttered as you finally let her in to your room.
Being a gentleman, you carried her luggage to the inside.
Something finally came up into your mind after meeting Jeongyeon.
Maybe, for her... it's not only friendship you've been looking forward into.
Maybe something more from that.
Love.
"Feel at home. This will be the place where you will live in anyways.", you said to her. She removed her shoes and placed it on the shoerack behind the door.
She is still shy meeting a new person like you and having a new place to live into so she can't move comfortably so far.
"Take a seat at the couch please. You want water?", you asked her because you thought that maybe she is tired from having on her way here while having these heavy things with her.
