This day couldn’t get any worse. Not only had I overslept and was running late for the very first classes of the year; my current roommate had just notified me that he plans on moving out. Typically this wouldn’t have bothered me greatly as we weren’t that close to begin with, however I knew I wouldn’t be able to pay for the rent without his half of the rent money. I was worried and stressed and late!

I adjusted the strap of my bookbag as I jogged up the stairs to the second floor. A few other students, like me, were also rushing to their classes. I steered around the freshmen who were just wandering around with confused expressions on their faces. I made it through the crowded hallway making a quick left turn at its end.

I was suddenly halted in my tracks when I collided with something, or rather someone. I felt my bag slip from my shoulder and crash to the floor, books and papers spilling out.

‘Oh my God, I’m so sorry, I’m so clumsy!’ I heard a voice in front of me exclaim.

I looked up slowly from where I was now sitting on the ground, rubbing my bruised forehead. I shook myself out of my daze, noticing that the boy had already started to collect the contents of my bookbag scattered across the floor, and also reached down to begin collecting my things.

‘No it’s okay…’ I said as I packed a few books back into my bag. I looked up and noticed that the boy was now standing in front of me holding my books out to me with an apologetic smile on his face.

‘You speak English!’ he cried excitedly at my response. I took the books he was offering from his hands and carefully packed them into my bag. I glanced at my watch only to see that I was already extremely late for my first class.

‘Yeah, and so do you.’ I replied as I put the bag over my shoulder again. I realized that there’s no point on going to my first class, since almost a third of it was over.

‘I’m Ten, it’s nice to meet you.’ he said with a smile as he reached his hand in my direction. I slowly followed his action and we shook hands.

‘My name is Guanheng, but you can call me Hendery.’ I replied with a smile.

༶•┈┈┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈┈•༶

‘Hi Hendery!’ I heard a familiar voice call from behind me. I looked up from my phone and automatically turned off the screen.

‘Oh hi…’ I replied as soon as I looked back and saw who was behind me. I moved over on the bench to make enough room for Ten. The older boy happily sat beside me while sipping on his coffee.

‘What have you been up to?’ he asked me, his tone not changing a bit, even though he probably saw my lack of enthusiasm. I just shrugged my shoulders and looked back at my phone anxiously as I checked if I had any new notifications.

‘The same stuff as always.’ I said with a sigh when I saw nothing pop up on my screen. I put my phone back into my pocket and looked at my friend.

Since the beginning of this school year I had problems with my roommates. I found few people willing to live with me through the last four months, but sooner or later the few that did agree to live with me resigned for some odd reasons.

‘Still having problems finding someone?’ he asked as he sipped his coffee. His bright behavior almost irritated me. He knew this issue caused me a lot of stress.

‘Yeah…’ I told him, another sigh leaving my mouth. I leaned my head back and rested it on the bench, late autumn sun shining at my face.

‘I have been thinking…’ Ten started to speak from beside me and I only nodded to signal that I’m listening. ‘You know how I live in the dorms and stuff?’

‘Mhhmm…’ I closed my eyes to avoid the sun a bit as I focused on what he was telling me.

‘I mean living there is fun! Don’t get me wrong… but it’s a bit overwhelming with everyone speaking Chinese when I can barely ask where the toilet is.’ he continued and I kept nodding as he spoke.

‘And I talked with Kun, well not directly but with some help from his cousin Yangyang and this guy Lucas that had just moved in…’ I could hear him rumble, his voice calming my nerves a bit. I opened my eyes and looked at him, our eyes meeting. My heart beat up a bit faster as I looked away quickly.

‘What’s the point of the story?’ I asked, my voice sounding a bit annoyed. He sighed dramatically and punched me lightly in shoulder making me look at him again.

‘I was going to tell you, before you interrupted me!’ he said and I rolled my eyes at his attitude, but at the same time I couldn’t help but smile. ‘Kun said that maybe it would be a good idea for me to move in with you.’ he said finally and started to sip his coffee again.

It took me few seconds to realize what he was saying. I straightened my back quickly and looked at him with my eyes wide open. He was looking at me, trying to keep a straight face but I could see a small smile forming on his lips.

‘Wait are you serious?!’ I asked him, still having trouble believing in what he just said. He nodded his head quickly, now fully smiling.

I felt as if a huge weight was being pulled from my shoulders. I couldn’t help but feel my heart beat faster. I quickly pulled Ten into a hug.

‘Oh my God, I’m so happy.’ I said, still holding him tight. I could hear him laugh at my reaction and only then has I realized what I was doing. I pulled away quickly but I could feel my ears start to burn.

‘So...when can you move in?’ I asked him with a huge smile on my face.

༶•┈┈┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈┈•༶

I heard a sound of doors being unlocked. I looked up from my book and peeked into the small corridor that leads toward the entrance to the flat.

I smiled widely when I noticed Ten walking inside. He had his bag hanging loosely at his elbow and a plastic bag in his hand. His winter jacket was halfway pulled off as he walked into the small living room.

‘Hi.’ he said with a sigh as he put down the two bags on the floor close to where I was sitting. He then shook out of his jacket and lazily threw it on the corner of the couch. Without saying anything else he sat down by me and put his head on my shoulder.

I could feel his still cold face against the skin of my neck. The sensation making me shiver. But somehow I felt a bit embarrassed and hot by how close he was.

‘What have you brought?’ I asked him, trying to not think about his hot breath on my skin. He moved his head slightly, making a bit of a distance from my neck.

‘Ah that…’ he said and lazily raised from his position. His sudden absence made me feel colder; not feeling the heat of his body felt almost wrong.

Probably not noticing my reactions to his actions at all, he reached down and picked up his bag and pulled it on his knees. He then pulled a glass wine bottle from it and handed it to me.

‘What’s this?’ I asked a bit confused as I took the wine and started to read the label.

‘We…’ he started as he reached for the plastic bag now. He quickly picked it up, while standing up from the couch. ‘Are having a date.’ he finished with a small smirk on his face.

I looked up from the bottle and stared at him, my heart beating extremely fast. I could feel the blood running quickly into my ears, making them bright red.

‘W-what..?’ I asked, not sure how to respond. I could see him chuckle at my reaction.

Without answering my question he turned back and put the plastic bag on a table that was just next to the couch. He started to unpack what was inside, not minding me having a small heart attack beside him.

I cleared my throat quietly and stood up from the couch, leaving behind only a book that has now been forgotten.

‘Okay so I found this movie and it has nice reviews.’ I started to say as I walked inside the living room when I found Ten eating breakfast. I quickly showed him the screen of my phone before continuing. ‘I was thinking about us two going to cinema together tomo-..’ I said but was quickly cut of.

‘Sorry, I already watched the movie.’ he said as he stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. He put his plate in the sink and opened the fridge to take out milk.

‘But the movie only came out week ago…’ I said quietly, a bit shocked by his answer. I saw him drink a bit of milk from a glass before setting it on a counter.

‘Yeah but I went with Winwinie already.’ he said as he started to leave kitchen. He grabbed his bag from the floor and checked if everything was there.

‘Winwinie?’ I said quietly to myself, trying to process what was happening.

‘Yeah, Winwinie… You know, Sicheng.’ he casually said as he put a bag over his shoulder and slowly started to get ready to leave for his classes.

Of course I knew who Winwin was. Ten actually introduced him to me some time ago. Apparently they had mutual friends in Korea and because of that they became very close to each other.

‘Yeah....’ I said not really sure how to respond. Then an idea came into my head. ‘How about going to food market today after your classes? We can check out the ne-’ I said excitedly but was again cut short by Ten.

‘Sorry Hendery… I have plans for this evening already. Me and Winwin are going shopping for some things.’ he said quickly as he pulled on his shoes. I was a bit shocked and couldn’t help but feel speechless.

‘Oh… n-no, it’s cool… maybe next time.’ I said quietly and looked down on my phone. The advertisement for the new movie was now making me annoyed so I quickly turned it off.

‘Yeah, next time. Bye.’ Ten said from the corridor and soon after he was out of the apartment, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Lately I have been feeling extremely lonely. The snow of the winter was beginning to melt and yet I still felt cold. I wasn’t sure what could have caused this but whatever it was, I wanted it to disappear.

It was late at night, but somehow I couldn’t fall asleep. Whenever I closed my eyes I felt so overwhelmed by darkness and silence around me. I decided to just go into the living room and spend some time there.

It was a bit after midnight by now, and the only noise I could hear was the traffic on the street nearby. The shining neons brought some light into the living room. I laid down on a small couch and tried to fall asleep again.

But my attempts failed. This time what stopped me was a sound of the front doors being unlocked. I turned away from the source of the noise, knowing exactly who it was.

I could hear a soft footsteps hit the floor and soon the light in living room was turned on. I squinted my eyes in the sudden brightness.

‘Turn it off.’ I mumbled as I closed my eyes tightly. The sound of footsteps stopped completely.

‘Hendery? What are you doing here?’ Ten asked me from the corner of living room. I opened and rolled my eyes at his question.

‘I was trying to sleep, but thanks to you, it’s not happening.’ I said and raised from the couch quickly and started to walk back to my room. I could see Ten looking at me.

‘Are you mad at me?’ he asked and I could almost feel my blood boil. He had been avoiding me so much lately, and he has audacity to ask me if I was mad.

‘Look, I just want to sleep okay?’ I snapped at him and walked out of the living room, leaving him alone. I could hear him walk behind me but I ignored him completely.

‘I’m sorry for waking you up then. I shouldn’t come back this late but me and Winwi-.’ he started to explain himself but at the mention of the older boy I snapped.

‘You and Winwin. I know! You only hang out with him, you don’t have to mention him every damn time!’ I yelled as I turned back to face him. My outburst made him speechless for a moment.

We stood there, in the middle of hall, in complete silence for a few seconds. He looked as if he was deep in thought. I on the other hand was slowly realizing what I said and couldn’t help but feel a bit bad.

‘Sorry… and goodnight.’ I said and turned around to walk away. I started to take slow fast toward my bedroom.

‘Are you jealous?’ Ten asked from behind me quietly, making me freeze at the spot. Somehow this small question made me unable to make a next step.

‘Are you?’ he questioned again, now coming a bit closer. I felt his hand lightly touch my shoulder. This small gesture made me snap out of this transe and I quickly shrugged his hand off. I continued to walk away without a word.

‘Hey! Talk to me.’ he said and reached to grab my shoulder to turn me away. I looked at him again, my vision blurry by the strong emotions flowing inside my head.

‘So what if I am!? Will it change anything?’ I snapped at him, yelling out the words that I have wanted to say for long. He was looking at me, studying my face.

‘It will actually…’ he said as he took a step closer to me. I was actually feeling done with this whole conversation. I didn't even understand myself. Why was I so angered by it?

‘Yeah? I wonder what?’ I said now mocking him. The words left my mouth almost on their own, I just couldn't control them. Without even giving him a second I turned away, trying to end the conversation.

‘Now I can do this.’ I could hear him mutter from behind me.

Suddenly I felt his strong hand grip my shoulder and push me against the wall. I felt my back hit the cold wall. I opened my mouth to yell at him but before I could even take a breath, my lips were sealed.

He put his lips on mine slowly, gently, almost as if asking for permission. But when he noticed I didn't protest he started to kiss me more powerfully.

With every second I could hear my blood rush faster and faster through my veins. The burning sensation of someone else's skin so close to mine was oddly calming. I felt my eyes close, I tried to focus as much on the feeling as possible. I wanted to keep it in my mind and always remember it in case it didn’t happen again or if it was just a dream.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed before Ten pulled away from me slightly. His breathing was irregular, the skin on his neck bright red and his eyes sparkling. I tried to catch my breath still feeling my lips tingle.

‘Who would have known…’ he whispered as he leaned towards me again and rested his forehead on mine. I was looking him straight in the eyes, still doubting if what has just happened was real. ‘That me hanging out with my friend would get you so mad.’ he said with a chuckle.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him away slightly but he quickly returned to his place close to me. I felt his hands travel down my shoulders, gently touching my bare skin making me shiver. He took my hand in his, slowly combing his fingers through mine.

He pulled one of my hands up and kissed the back of it gently. I looked away from him, not sure how to react. He chuckled and leaned forward even closer. His face was now just beside mine and I could feel his hot breath on my neck.

He pecked the lower part of my jawline, again making me melt at the sensation. I let out a shaky breath, my hands gripping his hard.

Ten got closer to my ear and let out a small breath before whispering in a hushed voice.

‘Happy Valentines…'
