- we may be young, but we have big dreams for us -

⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️

It was break time and Sicheng wanted to visit a good friend of his. His friend also quite popular within girls. With a charming smile, who would not fall for Qian Kun. The history they both shared was pretty much far from what you could expect friendships begin, but they still are together at the end.

He arrived at the said professor's office in around 5 minutes, since they were not teaching under the same department. Due to Kun's love for Science, he decided to teach Science, specifically Biology.

When Sicheng entered, the said man was on his desk doing some paper works, with an empty Tupperware beside all his things. He gave out a cough to get the other man's attention, and it did.

"What can I help you with?" Kun said while looking down at his paper work.

"Can I not visit my friend when I please?" Sicheng said, with a hint of wanting attention.

"No, as you can see I am busy. Good day to you, Sicheng."

Sicheng was quiet at the response he got from the older, but he decided to black that out. He wanted to tell him something, and he feels like he should say it to him now. Not to be obsess, but yeah he wanted to pent out some things.

"So this kid, Huang Renjun. He's a student of mine, have you heard of him?"

"Yes I have Sicheng. I have met him outside the washroom, waiting for his friend. I have also met him at his previous school since I was invited for an activity there. That kid has talents you know. You should try to talk to him, since your age gaps are not that big and you two could seem to get along easily." Kun was blabbering nonsense at this point, but one fact that Sicheng was stunned the most, was when Kun said he had met the guy.

"Oh, you know him better than me."

"Yeah I know, but don't catch unnecessary feelings Dong, he's still your student and we have policies regarding teacher-student relationships. Don't get too overboard when you realize that he is not as bad as he seems."

Sicheng did not know how to respond. No, Kun did not just mentioned about feelings. How can he possibly fall for his student when he was not gay at all. He was just a professor, and he was just his student, and nothing will change that.

It was finally the end of the first day, and Renjun was exhausted. It was hard to meet new people and trying to fit in. It was also hard to communicate to some, especially foreigners. Walking around the campus seemed like an exercise for him due to how big it is.

Despite it being exhausting, Renjun find it quite interesting. His professor has the same nationality as him, he found one of his cousins through one of his best friends, and that he also found another Chinese professor. It made Renjun feel delighted about transferring, because it was not how he thought his first day will be.

When Renjun arrived at his dorm, he saw two beds and heard the water from the shower running heavily. He did not mind and went straight towards his bed, phone in hand. He went ahead with playing games, not even minding to find out who is roommate is.

The running water came into a stop, the sound of a door closing and padded feet came.

My roommate must be done showering, Renjun thought.

He decided to look up and saw a boy around his age drying his hair. Renjun wanted to introduce himself, but decided not to. The said boy turned his attention to Renjun, and smiled at him.

"Hi, I am Xiao Dejun, but please call me Xiaojun. A sophomore from China, and you are?"

"Huang Renjun, freshman."

"Oh so you are Huang Renjun, a student of Professor Dong. I heard something about you when I passed by Professor Qian, did not mean to eavesdrop though, but I heard a little to none."

Xiaojun didn't seem too bad in Renjun's opinion, though he looks quite stunning. The question that came out of his mouth baffled Xiaojun.

"Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?" Renjun only realized his question when he saw the confused look on Xiaojun's face. "I am so sorry, I did mean to ask that."

"No big deal," he replied, "you will be able to know that once we get to know each other more roommate. Let's sleep, sophomores and freshmen are requested to be at the gym tomorrow for a welcoming game."

Welcoming game? Why did Renjun only heard of this now that Xiaojun mention? Are they suppose to wear sports attire for this event? Is it going to involve being social with everyone? Is it a dream come true?

It wasn't really a problem to Renjun, since he knows some people around here, special mention are his friends, but he seems nervous. He wasn't much of a sport-type of boy, he just preferred contemporary dancing, but basketball and soccer are clearly not for him.

◻️◼️◻️◼️◻️

It was the second day of school, the freshman and sophomores were gathered in the gym with their sports attires on. The gym was quite crowded, a mixture of different languages can be heard, but foreigners here can speak a bit of Korean.

Renjun was awkwardly standing at the entrance, searching for his friends, desperate for someone to be with. It was tiring to do this, but he needed to find them.

He stood there, searching with his eyes, when a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Need some help?"

Renjun froze at the familiarity of the voice and at the gesture. He turned around, and saw Professor Dong who was smiling at him.
