My Roommate Is a Tsundere (And the Rest Are Flirts!)
Moving In
Minji
Hello... Is anyone checking the group chat? I just arrived outside the dorm building with my suitcases.
Soobin
Oh, you're finally here! Welcome! Hold on, I'm opening the door for you right now.
kai
YAY!!! Our new roommate is here! Everyone come to the front door right now!
yeounjun
I’m already at the door. Wow...
yeounjun
[To Minji] I knew from your profile picture you'd be cute, but seeing you in person? I think my heart just skipped a beat. 😉
Soobin
Yeonjun, back off, you're going to scare her on her very first day.
Soobin
[To Minji] Don't mind him. Here, let me take your heavy bags. Wow, your hands are so cold. Come inside quickly, okay? I'll make sure you feel right at home. ❤️
Minji
Thank you so much, Soobin! You're so kind. And thank you Yeonjun... haha
beomgyu
Great, another person in the house to crowd up the hallway. Look at all these bags. Are you moving in or opening a department store? 🙄
beomgyu
I'm just being realistic. [To Minji] Don't expect me to carry your stuff. Walk faster, you're blocking the door.
taehyun
Ignore Beomgyu hyung. He's just grumpy because he lost his video game earlier. Welcome to the dorm, Minji. I'm Taehyun. Let's get along well.
Minji
Nice to meet you, Taehyun. And sorry, Beomgyu... I'll try not to get in your way
beomgyu
Whatever. Just don't touch my things in the fridge.
yeounjun
Don't worry about him, Minji. Come look at your room! It's right across the hall from mine.
yeounjun
Which means if you ever get lonely or scared at night... you know exactly whose door to knock on. 🤫
Soobin
Or you could knock on mine, since I'm the leader and I'm much better at taking care of people.😏
kai
Guys, stop fighting over Minji! Let's go eat the welcome cake I bought! 🎂
Sweet Care & Late-Night Comfort
Minji (Feeling crampy and tired, but being showered with love).
Minji
Hey guys... I'm so sorry, I know Hueningkai bought a welcome cake, but my stomach is hurting really badly out of nowhere. I think I need to just lie down in my room for a bit. 😭💔
Soobin
Oh no, Minji! Are you okay? Is it severe? Do you need medicine?
yeounjun
Wait, is it that time of the month? Don't apologize at all! Just lie down. I’m coming over right now.
yeounjun
[Sent a photo] I brought a hot water bottle and a heating pad from my room. Let me plug it in for you. You need to keep your stomach warm, beautiful. 😉
Minji
Yeonjun, thank you... you didn't have to bring that.
Soobin
Move over, Yeonjun. Heating pads aren't enough.
Soobin
[To Minji] I just ran down to the convenience store down the street. I bought three different types of pain medicine, your favorite chocolates, and some warm soup.
Soobin
I'm coming into your room now. Lean against me while you eat the soup, okay? I'll massage your shoulders if you're tense.
beomgyu
Wow, you two are doing too much. You're suffocating her.
beomgyu
[To Minji] Hey. I left a box of specialized herbal tea outside your door. It helps with cramps. Don't think it's from me, Taehyun told me to buy it. Drink it before it gets cold. 🙄
taehyun
I literally never said that, Beomgyu hyung. You bought it yourself.
kai
Haha! Beomgyu hyung is blushing!
Minji
Thank you, Beomgyu. That’s actually really sweet of you. ❤️
beomgyu
Whatever. Just feel better so you can unpack your stuff.
(Fast forward to 11:30 PM... The dorm is quiet, but Minji can't sleep because of the cramps.)
Minji
Is anyone still awake? My cramps are getting worse and the storm outside is making it hard to sleep alone. 🥺
yeounjun
I'm awake! Come to my room, Minji. My bed is super big and I'll hold you tight so you feel safe.
Soobin
Absolutely not, Yeonjun.
Soobin
[To Minji] My room is right next to the bathroom if you need anything, and I already set up a bunch of fluffy pillows. Come here. I’ll leave my door open for you.
Minji
Soobin... is it really okay if I stay with you tonight?
Soobin
Of course it is. Come inside.
Soobin
[To Minji] Look at you, you look so tiny in Yeonjun's oversized hoodie. Come lie down next to me. I'll rub your back until the pain goes away and you fall asleep.
yeounjun
Wow, Soobin wins tonight. Lucky guy. 😩 Take good care of our girl, hyung.
Soobin
Always. Goodnight everyone.
Soobin
[To Minji] Close your eyes, Minji. I'm right here. You're safe with me. 🌙✨
The Ultimate Safe Haven
(Context: It's the next night. Minji is still feeling a bit weak, and a sudden massive thunderstorm hits the area, knocking the power out in the dorm.)
kai
LIGHTS OUT!! The power just went completely dead! It’s pitch black out here! 😱😭
taehyun
Everyone calm down, it’s just the storm. I’m turning on my phone flashlight.
beomgyu
Where is Minji? Is she still in her room?
Soobin
Minji? Are you okay in there? Don't move, I'm coming to get you.
Minji
I'm okay, but it's really dark and my stomach is still cramping a little bit... I'm kind of scared to stay in my room alone tonight.
yeounjun
Change of plans. Everyone bring your mattresses and blankets to the living room right now. We are doing a giant floor bed.
kai
Yes!! A giant cuddle pile! No one gets left behind in the dark! 🧸✨
(30 minutes later. A massive, cozy nest of blankets covers the entire living room floor. The five boys loop around Minji to keep her warm and safe.)
taehyun
Alright, the layout is set. Hueningkai and I are on the ends. Beomgyu is at the top.
yeounjun
And Minji is right here in the exact middle.
Soobin
Perfect. [To Minji] I’m lying right on your left side, Minji. If the thunder gets loud, just hold onto my arm.
yeounjun
And I’m right on your right side. You’re completely surrounded by us now. You don't have to be scared of anything. 😉
beomgyu
Ugh, stop moving around, you guys are letting the cold air under the blanket. Minji, stop listening to them and just go to sleep.
Minji
Thank you, everyone... I feel so warm and safe with all of you here. Goodnight. ❤️
Soobin
Goodnight, Minji. Sleep well.
(2:00 AM. The living room is completely quiet. The heavy breathing of the sleeping members fills the room. Minji is fast asleep, but Soobin and Yeonjun quietly open their eyes in the dark.)
Soobin
[Whispering] Yeonjun... are you awake?
yeounjun
[Whispering] Yeah. I can’t sleep. She looks so beautiful when she’s sleeping peacefully like this.
Soobin
[Whispering] I know. The cramps finally stopped hurting her. She looks so tiny between us.
yeounjun
[Whispering] Hey... watch this.
(In the quiet dark, Yeonjun leans in closer, gently brushing a strand of hair away from Minji's face, and presses a soft, sweet kiss onto her right cheek.)
Soobin
[Whispering] Yah, no fair. You can't just steal a moment like that.
(Soobin smiles softly, leaning down from the other side, and gently presses a warm, lingering kiss onto Minji's left cheek, making her stir slightly in her sleep but smile).
yeounjun
[Whispering] Look, she's smiling.
Soobin
[Whispering] Because she knows we're right here protecting her. Let's sleep now. Goodnight, Yeonjun.
yeounjun
[Whispering] Goodnight, hyung.
