Riptides
episode 1
After clearing the competitive exam and getting your dream college. You certainly feel you're in the 9th cloud with heavenly brightening life in the future.
Looks like Jungkook doesn't seems happy
Today he was supposed to shift into his new allotted room on-campus according to the new semester plan PDF, with a roommate.
In the first year, he had to share his room with 3 roommates, even though he is not really used to roommate thing.
He has friends and few people whom he respects or acknowledges. Yet he isn't friendly.
He studies in the computer science CSE department, 2nd year, likes coding and making something out of it. He just likes to create. In high school, he created spider design in motion, his own calculator, and few games like snake bites just by using python.
He is fascinated with the ideas beaming out of his mind, the more he learns, the more he gets surprised and excited.
He is marked as a multitasking overachiever who holds grudges like a sport. Though he is not good at many things
Anger might be one of his weaknesses because Jungkook is hot-headed, and he knows it, can't really help.
Underneath all that fire is a boy who grew up too fast, never trusting that anyone would stay...
Expect his friend, Jimin who is a few months older than him none of that matters because according to Jungkook he is short and looks like chick 🐥
Jungkook
You were supposed to help me pick my stuff into the room at 8:30 📞
Jimin
dude you know I live in my house which is almost 16.6 km from the campus 📞
Jimin
On top of that, building F is somewhere in a far corner. 📞
Jimin
and you want me to be there in 15 min? how? by Flying scooter ?💢 📞
Jungkook
Isn't it your fault you woke up late? 📞
jimin is the only one jungkook could actually trust with. Most of all are just for Jungkook's recent glow up and his multitasking spirit.
He is the boy any girl would date without a thought in college right now.
And he does enjoy the attention, who won't? But sometimes he likes to be alone, attention becomes too annoying around fake people- one who always wants something from others disguising the true intention.
Jimin
Who woke up early on Sunday? 📞
Jungkook
one with work, now stop crying and HELP ME. 📞
after 25 min jimin arrived with his scooter and they shifted his stuff to building H.
Jungkook
Wait here I will get the keys from the warden
Jungkook
Here's my student ID, I was told my room no. Is 314, block H on the email.
Mr han (warden)
Let me check on the registration.
Mr Han wore his specs to read on the monitor on the entrance desk.
Mr han (warden)

Mr han (warden)
Okay, here is your key.
Jungkook takes the key and puts it in his pocket.
Mr han (warden)
from now I will be looking after you, I am your warden Han jihu.
Mr han (warden)
you can call me Mr Han, and add my number in your contact
Mr han (warden)
once you settle i will instruct you the dorm room rules
Jungkook
* sighs* yeah Mr han I know no ladies , no outing after 11pm and lights off after 12am.
Jungkook
Monthly maintenance check and no alcohol.
Jungkook
I'm not new to the hostel
Mr han (warden)
good, my time is saved.
Mr han (warden)
Perhaps you may teach me how to use the internet.
Mr han (warden)
You know nowadays everything is modern— very technical.
Mr han (warden)
everything is online
Jungkook's phone rings at the perfect time.
Jungkook
I think i should get going
Mr han (warden)
don't forget to reach me out If you need help or anything that bothers you🗣️
Mr han shouts at the back while Jungkook quickly exists
He was on mission, he needs to settle his stuff as his classes will start tomorrow.
episode 2
That was Jungkook's first thought when he pushed open the door of Room 314. Two beds. Two desks. Two closets. A window that faced the parking lot instead of the courtyard. The kind of space that forced two strangers to either become friends or want to kill each other.
Jungkook
What bye? You have to help in unpacking everything it will take years
Jimin
i have done most of the part , i am leaving 👋🏻
Jungkook
small chicks like you didn't even dare to hit down again after one time
Jungkook
While you were busy playing dead log here i had to go up and down 8 times
Jimin
Come on i didn't even have any breakfast i am hungry and weak 🥹
Jimin
Feed me~ i am dying . My HP is lower than ever. Only you can save me Jungkookaaa 🥹
They had lunch outside and jimin went back to his house in the evening after helping
Jungkook saw the other side of the room which is empty
He wishes to get the room all by himself but there is 1 in millions chance that would actually happen.
He isn't excited to get a roommate he is terrified of what if his roommate is a trouble or worse.
He lay down for a while, scrolled through his phone and didn't realise when he slept. He was so tired.
Jungkook woke up late, he is supposed to attend his first class of his new semester.
Jungkook's phone rings again, not the alarm it's jimin.
Jimin
where the fck are you dude📞
Jungkook leap up, getting dressed in a hurry.
Jungkook
On my way , I- I almost there 📞
Jimin
The professor is already here, hurry up Jungkook 📞
Jungkook wore the old pair of shoes without socks, picked his empty bag and closed the door.
Jungkook hung up and ran for the class hall. The campus is colossal, he should save money for a bicycle or motorcycle.
Jungkook usually wakes up early and goes for a run, does his morning exercise.
Guess not today, he is really late today
A boy on a skateboard sped past Jungkook, too fast for his face to be recognized.
Jimin
you got lucky with first class this morning
Jungkook
Yeah I really got saved today..
Jungkook
Anyways are there any classes we get to share besides Corporate Skills classes ?
Actually jimin took material science and engineering (MSE), all first-year students take the same foundational classes so they get to know each other there
Jimin
Yes one i guess under Interdisciplinary Core
Jimin
Electronics and materials and Semiconductor Devices
Jungkook
electronics sucks
Jimin
Then why did you pick it? I hate electronics
Jungkook
I just don't wanna do CAD
Jimin
While i didn't have any option 😭
They are walking through the corridor, each carrying a bag. Well today was all the introduction and discussion class nothing heavy.
episode 3
Jungkook stares at the wall, laying over his bed .
His new year of college has started and Jungkook still doesn't know how to name his emotion, except anger.
He smiles even when he doesn't feel like, and he hates that.
He doesn't get the idea where his anger comes from, it's just there.
So he runs as fast as he can or tries to use his anger into exercise or football
yes he plays volleyball weekly, it's how to tries to stop his immense anger into violence.
Jimin does have little idea about his anger issue and it does make concern him about Jungkook.
For everyone at college, Jungkook is a cool minded guy who minds his business. He is handsome and does anything to win everywhere.
Till now no one has been a victim or witness of Jungkook's anger.
Expect a girl from last year, when the semester was almost closed to the end she proposed to Jungkook while Jungkook respectfully rejected her
She was caught stalking jungkook like crazy. And one day she stole jungkook's water bottle. As days continued things became the Worst when she tried to get his house address and Jungkook didn't let this slide.
Jungkook invited her to have a little chat on the roof top and after that day she didn't dare to mid jungkook's way.
Jungkook got up earlier than the alarm, he brushed his teeth and wore his old pair of shoes to run.
It was all quiet just bird chirping in the garden and fresh the air bushing his face, Jungkook is feeling light today.
After classes Jungkook got back to his room where he found the door unlocked.
Jungkook pauses in front of the door while holding the door knob. He thinks twice before opening the door.
And finally decided to give it with a sigh, he didn't want to admit he is nervous.
Before he could roll and push into the door the guy from the other side pulled the door.
They looked at each other for a while, nothing tuning just a few stares.
someone
You must be my roommate
someone
I am Taehyung, from the electronic and communication engineering(ECE) department.
Jungkook
I am Jeon Jungkook from the CSE department, 2nd year
Taehyung
2nd year as well.
Taehyung
you know you seem similar, but I don't actually remember
Jungkook
ohh?.... * idk face*
Taehyung
why don't you come in?
Taehyung
Make yourself home, Jungkook
Jungkook stepped in and watched the other side which seems complete. Filled. Teeming.
Taehyung's side has some posters of music artists, actors, actresses, Spider-Man and anime. A whiteboard hung on the wall with messy handwriting . His side looks full of passion and free.
There are thoughts like —
Jungkook finds it childish perhaps too sentimental or weak.
he wanted to judge Taehyung so hard but before he could gather any thought
Taehyung follows Jungkook's path to the desktop and stands too close making Jungkook turn towards him.
Taehyung
I am looking forward to being friends with you
Taehyung
If you don't mind
Taehyung offers a handshake of friendship with a slight smile.
Taehyung doesn't seem cold nor a smiley fool. Jungkook walks into the bathroom without any exchange of expression.
Is he ignoring? Did he start disliking his new roommate this early ?
Taehyung
Nature's call can't ignore I guess
Taehyung
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
