Chapter Text

Lee Changsub, 23, third year, Theater Arts major, and currently having an intense long overdue crush on his dormmate who is Yook Sungjae, 21, second year, currently taking up Marine Biology, and the most gorgeous man he has ever laid his eyes on.

They've been dormmates for a year already and during those times, they've somehow became quite good friends. It all started when Changsub, being the reliable person that he is, helped Sungjae get familiar with their University when the other was still a freshman, and the rest is history. At first, Changsub thought that he couldn't be friends with the younger because there's this cold and arrogant aura surrounding Sungjae, not to mention that he's also filthy rich. Changsub has this belief that only rich people can befriend rich people, but thankfully, Sungjae debunked that stupid belief of him.

The younger also shares his food with him eventhough he keeps on politely rejecting him. Changsub believes that food is precious when you're living the dorm life and to share it with someone is such a dumb move but Sungjae obviously thinks otherwise.

Bottomline is, Changsub wants to marry Yook Sungjae already, or just become his boyfriend, if marriage is too much to ask. It's impossible to not develop feelings to someone as kind and good looking as him. He's been harboring this cute little crush on the younger fo
