Summary

Kim Minwoo thought university would finally help him forget his past. Forget the boy he secretly loved in high school. Forget the feelings he buried for years. Forget Cha Yongdo completely. But on the first day of the new semester, Minwoo’s peaceful dorm life comes crashing down when the university assigns him a new roommate. Cha Yongdo. The same boy Minwoo spent years avoiding. Cold, unreadable, and impossibly popular, Yongdo acts strangely calm about their reunion—as if he had been expecting it all along. At first, Minwoo believes it’s just terrible luck. Until the small things start becoming impossible to ignore. The way Yongdo already knows his habits. The way his eyes linger too long. The way it almost feels like this reunion was planned from the beginning. Because while Minwoo spent years trying to forget Cha Yongdo… Cha Yongdo never stopped watching him.

Chapter1~unexpected roomate

The sound of suitcases rolling across the dorm hallway echoed loudly as students moved back in for the new semester.

Kim Minwoo sighed quietly while unlocking the door to his room.

He already missed the peace.

For the past semester, he had the dorm all to himself. No noise. No awkward conversations. No random roommate problems.

But apparently his luck had run out.

Yesterday evening, the university sent him a short message:

A new student will be assigned to Room 314 starting this semester.

Great.

Minwoo pushed the door open with mild annoyance, already preparing himself to meet some loud stranger.

But the moment he stepped inside, he froze.

Someone was already there.

Tall figure near the window. Dark hair. Black hoodie slightly rolled at the sleeves.

The boy slowly turned around.

And Minwoo felt his entire brain stop working.

Cha Yongdo.

His old high school crush.

The same crush he spent years trying to bury and forget.

For a second, neither of them spoke.

Then Yongdo looked at him calmly, almost too calmly.

“…Long time no see, Minwoo.”

Minwoo tightened his grip on his suitcase.

Out of every university. Out of every dorm room.

Why him? 😭
