I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike (yeah, you)
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking

-Somebody to You -The Vamps-

No one's POV:

Hana approached her car, unlocking it with a soft click and loading two boxes into the trunk. She took a moment, sitting in the driver's seat, to focus on her breathing before starting the engine. Memories and flashbacks raced through her mind, threatening to overwhelm her.

"Breathe in, breathe out,"
she murmured to herself, the words becoming a mantra.
"You can handle this."

Feeling steadier, she set off toward her new home, eager to leave the past behind.

As she neared her destination, she dialed Seungmin's number, tapping her fingers nervously on the steering wheel as she waited for him to pick up.

"Are you already there?"
Seungmin's voice crackled through the speaker.

"Yeah, now get your butts out here. You have the address, right?"
she replied, a teasing edge in her tone.

"Of course! We'll be there in about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on traffic,"
 he assured her.

Hana smiled, relieved. She knew she could count on him and Jeongin, even if they often struggled with punctuality.

Minho POV:

It was around 9:40 a.m. when I was awoken by knocks on the door. I walked to the door, half asleep, and opened it to see two men around my age, maybe a little younger.

"Can I help you?" I asked as I opened the door.

"Our friend's moving in today, so we came to help her unpack. And who are you?"
One of them said.

"Her? There's no girl living here. I just moved in yesterday, and no one else lives here either."
 I replied.

Oh so the roommate is a 'her'.

"We thought she'd already be here. We'll come back with her; she's supposed to move in today."
The other one said.

"Oh, I see. I'll be waiting for you guys them. Also, what are your names?" I asked, just in case.

"I'm Seungmin, Kim Seungmin,"
the first one introduced himself, his eyes bright with enthusiasm.

"And I'm Jeongin, Yang Jeongin,"
 the other added, a friendly grin spreading across his face.

"Nice to meet you both. I'm Minho, Lee Minho. I'll be waiting for your friend, then."

The two boys nodded and left after informing me once again that they'd come back with the girl who was supposed to be moving in.
I thought of many kinds of roommates, but a girl wasn't on my list.
But it wouldn't be a problem; she's just a roommate. 

Well, what was done was done.
All I could do was wait for the 'roommate' and make sure she was okay with the situation.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Hana POV:

By the time i reached the new place, it was already almost 10am.
So much for waking up early to get here.

The building had a paid parking lot, for which i had to get a 3 month contract and renew it if i still needed it. Well at least i don't have to drive around searching for a parking that's nearby.

As i pulled in the parking lot, i could see Seungmin and Jeongin waiting for me at the entrance of the building

"Oh they're here before me for once" I said to myself.

I parked the car and released the boot latch before getting out. As soon as i got out, i saw them both walk towards me with a 'face' i couldn't decipher.

What cat peed in your cereal today? I asked. 

Did you know your roommate was going to be a male?
Jeongin asked, without beating around the bush.

"Say what now? my roommate is a male?"
I replied with confusion etched on my face.

"Oh so she didn't know."  Seungmin said.

"Your roommate is a male, he says he didn't know he was going to be living with a female either." Jeongin continued.

"Oh, i see."
Is all i say, trying to comprehend what was happening

"Seriously? That's your reaction?"
Jeongin teased, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Yeah, I guess it's surprising. But does it really matter? I'm barely home, and I'm just here to study."

"You turned down our offer to move in with us but are okay with some unknown guy?"
Jeongin said, mock-pouting.

"Come on, you know why I didn't want to move in with you. I didn't want to burden you both with another person in a completely occupied house. You need your space."

"But living with a guy you don't know? That's different,"
Seungmin said, a serious tone creeping into his voice.

"Honestly, it can't be that bad. I'll handle it."

The two exchanged skeptical glances, clearly unconvinced.

"Stop whining and help me carry these boxes," I said, pointing toward the open trunk.

"Alright, alright!" they groaned in unison, moving to the back of the car.

As they made their way inside, I couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty. Had I made the right choice by moving in with a stranger? Only time would tell.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Seungmin and Jeongin whined the entire time how they had to wake up early on a Sunday and are having to carry boxes, and I promised them to a meal because that was the least i could do.

"You have to remember your promise, okay?" Jeongin said.

"Of course, yes ill get you guys food. Anyways about the roommate guy, was he older than us?"
I asked them as we waited in the elevator

"Well I'd bet he's only 2 years older than us, he can't be older than that."
Seungmin said.

"So, he's basically just one of you guys. Nothing different. It's going to be fine, you guys don't need to worry about it. You know ill always tell you if i need help, right?"

"Yea, we know." Jeongin said with a smile on his face

I don't know why, but I just felt this overwhelming guilt. I know I'd never tell them if something was wrong, if something was troubling me, unless they discovered it themselves. I still remember the look on their faces when they found out the awful things my dad used to say to me when I made a mistake. I don't want to burden them with anything else, especially when I can handle it myself.

But how I handle it is something they don't need to know.
Maybe its just very easy to pretend that everything's okay, that I'm doing just fine.

The elevator comes to a stop at the 5th floor and I let Seungmin and Jeongin leave first, since they were the ones lifting all the boxes.

"Do you know the passcode?"
 Seungmin asked.

"Yeah, unless the guy who moved in got it changed."I said clicking the numbers *0325 on the lock keypad.

Well, the door didn't open, and the machine just flashed a red light with a beep.
I knocked on the door, waiting for the 'roommate' to open the door.

"Didn't he say he'd be home? My arms are getting sore."  
Seungmin whined, since we'd been waiting for 5 minutes now.

"Wait ill ring the bell, maybe he's in the washroom or something." I said laughing at them.

I ring the bell, it was a few minutes before we heard a "One second, coming!" From inside

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Minho POV:

I thought of taking a short bath before they came back up.
It wasn't long before, give or take 10 minutes, that I heard the bell ring.
"Don't they have the passcode?"
 I thought to myself, as i got out of the shower and wearing my shirt and a sweat pant.

Oh right, I got it changed when I moved in, for safety purposes of course.
You never know how many people know the passcode of the house before it went on lease.

"One second, coming!" I yelled as i walked to the door.
Before i could say anything else, I apologized for the opening the door late, and asked them to come inside.

"Hello, really sorry for opening the door late. I was taking a bath"
 I said from the living room, giving them space to walk in the foyer. I see Seungmin and Jeongin walk in first with two boxes, not realizing that there was a person behind them.

"Nah, no issues man, except from the fact that my arms are now sore."
Seungmin said, with a smile on his face, so I knew he was probably joking

"Quit that, Seungmin. Are you going to nag at everyone for carrying a box?"
A feminine voice from behind them teased.

Oh, that must be her. The roommate.

Jeongin quickly followed Seungmin and placed the boxes in a corner.

"Hi, I'm Minho, Lee Minho. Pleasure to meet you"
 I introduced myself to the girl, who had finally walked in and was standing next to Jeongin.

"Hi, I'm Hana, Choi Hana. Its nice to meet you too."

a/n:  THEY'VE FINALY MET!!!

Also the number of times I've written 'roommate' is hilarious. 

Well at least now everyone knows each of their names, so that's good.
