{a Few days later }
" Please sign here. " A delivery guy handed me a sheet of paper to sign as a confirmation of delivery. All of the stuff that was sent here was free. Those brands wanted me to promote their products.
" Here, you go. Thank you. Have a nice day! " I said to the delivery guy as he heading out of the dormitory. I turned to over 12 boxes of stuff that got sent to me for free.
" Oh my goodness," I said. I took a week off from work since my health wasn't quite well.
" I have to take them to the dorm," I said. I glanced around to see whether is there anything pull wheel for me. There wasn't any. From the entrance to the elevator was quite far, I was exhausted just by imagined that. I put 3 boxes on top of each other and pushed them to the elevator.
" That exhausting. " I said.
" Need help? " Heesung said as he saw me pushing the boxes.
" Indeed. " I replied in exhaustion. He licked his finger and put it up to the air.
" Well, false alarm. " He said and went inside the elevator to our room. That pig is something else.
" You want some help? " Taehyun asked. I turned to him.
" It'd be great. " I replied.
" How many packages? " He asked.
" 12 packages. You help to push them to the elevator. I'll do the rest. " I replied.
" I'm offered you my help. I'm going to help you to your dorm. Let me help you. " He said and pushed 4 boxes to the elevator at the same time. That was quite hot, I'd say but he was just being nice. Besides Heesung, Taehyun was nicer to me.
" You go to your floor first. When the packages are out there, you can push them to your dorm. " He said after we finished pushed all 12 boxes in front of the elevator.
" Okay! Thank you for your help. " I said and bowed down. He laughed and bowed down too.
" Don't mention it. " He said. Him and I getting along so well. We kinda grew closer than before. I went into my dorm floor first. I felt a bit better with his help. He was such a lifesaver.
* Ring × 3 *
My phone rang. I looked up to see who was it. It was. . . My mother.
" Hmmm ... " I sighed. I turned off my phone. There were reasons behind actually. I won't say anything.
" I need to change my phone number, I think. " I said.
* Ding! *
It was my floor. I went out with 3 boxes and pushed them forward to my dorm room.
" Y/n !! " Someone called my name. I turned to see who. It was Vanessa, from Scotland.
" Hi! Vanessa! You don't have class? " I asked as she approached me.
" It's my holiday! I rearranged my schedule and I got 1 day off on weekdays! " She replied. She looked over at my boxes.
" You bought all off it? Do you even have space in that dorm? " She asked. I laughed.
" Well... We will see then. " I said. I pushed all my first 3 boxes to my dorm.
" Let me help. " She said and helped me pushing it. Everyone here seems nice but not Heesung. That pig. I called him pig because he smelled like one, not because of his weight. He was way underweight.
" Thank you. " I said as we reached my dorm.
* Ding. *
A notification from Taehyun.
[ Come to the elevator. It's there. ]
He sent.
" What's going on between you and Taehyun? You guys seem close. " Vanessa asked me. I laughed.
" What did you expect? It's nothing going around. Besides, he helping a lot since I moved here. I was like the first nice guy in my life. I need to get some more boxes." I replied and went to the elevator.
" Wait what?! More?! Y/n! You planned to move here forever or what?! " Vanessa said. I laughed off. A new chapter of my life. I love it.
+ 4 hours later.. +
" My dorm look great now. " I said as I finished decorating my dorm without Heesung's help. Let me tell you that he was indeed the worst roommate ever. Taehyun sat on the floor next to me.
" It sure does. It feels cosier and home. " He said. I turned to him.
" What do you want to eat? " I asked.
" Like now? It's yet evening. " He said. I pat his shoulder.
" Since when does food have its schedule? C'mon! What do you want? " I asked. Taehyun was thinking a bit.
" How about snack foods? Like fried chicken and black bean noodles? Or spicy Rice cake with dumplings? " He asked.
" Hmm, How about order all of them? " I asked back. He stopped a bit.
" Woah! What? How can we finish all of them? " He asked. I laughed.
" We can order 1 each as 1 serving then we shared. 4 different foods and still can finish it. " I replied.
" But let order black bean noodles 2 serving. We can't share noodles. " He said. I goggle.
" Alright then. " I replied and we ordered some food. It was fun hanging out with Taehyun. He made me feel warm like a big brother supporting and caring about you. I didn't have a big brother. I was the eldest of 3 siblings. It was warm. The warmness that I wished to experience since I was just a child.
" So... How long do you want to hide it? " He asked. I was quite surprised.
" Hide what? " I asked.
" Your real identity. " He replied. I was confused.
" How did you...? " I asked.
" I accidentally found it on the professor's desk. Why do you hiding it? " He asked.
* Sigh *
" Well, as long as possible. I don't want anyone to see me as someone else. " I replied.
" How? I mean you are who you are? Why hide? " He asked. I guess he didn't understand.
" There is something about me that you'd not understand. Even though I explain, you'd not understand it. " I replied. He seemed to understand what I meant. He pats my head.
" Whenever you want to tell me, you can tell me. I'll listen with both my ears and try to cheer you as much as I can. I'm here for you. " He said. It was so touching and warm. I wished I could hug him but we were just friends. He was like my brother.
Brother, indeed.
