It's been a month already since I moved to a dormitory near to my review center. I never see Wonwoo since the first day we've met. We are living under the same roof but guess we were too busy to even see each other's shadow/ Well our first meeting wasn't a good memory; he maybe think I am his stalker. How could I tell him my story? It is too embarrassing; saying I fell in love with a poser who used his pictures.

I went to a library to get some books before going home to my dormitory. It is already 9pm and when I went it, I saw the landlord at the kitchen with a canned of beer on his hand. "Hello," I greeted.

"Oh hi," he smiled. "You unexpectedly came home this late."

Landlord, Dino, is four years older than me. Yet the way he talks is just like a father; always asking me if I eat already, if I feel sick or if I need any help. Still, I am thankful I've met a kind landlord.

"I searched some books and didn't notice the time," I explained. "Is this the reason why you are still awake? Because you can't lock the main door?"

He chuckled, "Not really. Someone will lock it before I do. And also, I have a lot things inside my mind so I had some beer."

Beer. Somehow I am craving for it now.

"Do you want some?" He offered. How can I refuse from a free stuff?

I nodded and sat beside him. He gave me another canned beer and we gulped it down.

Then we drink in silence. Now what? I cannot think of any topic to start.

The door opened. Someone is coming in. My eyes widened when I saw Wonwoo walking closer. He met my gaze by a quick glance; I swear I almost die in that 0.01 second of my life. He is so handsome!

"I locked the door," he said in a deep tone before he went inside his room, next to mine.

"Wonwoo is such a pretty guy, isn't he?" Dino commented then took another sip.

"Y-Yeah," I agreed.

"Do you like him?" He looked at me with a grin.

"N-No," I answered, chuckling. "He is indeed handsome but I am not the type of a girl who only like a guy based on physical appearance. I do have crushes but having a crush and liking someone is different. I didn't even know him at all. Also, he is out of my league."

"That was a defensive answer, a very long one," Dino laughed and gulped the beer in one shot. Isn't he drinking so fast?

"Hehe," I just forged a laugh while scratching my nape.

"To be honest, I am jealous of him," landlord shared. And so I looked at him staring at the blank space. "Guys like him are mostly popular. They can get any girl they like. I am jealous of that fact."

I agreed on the part that Wonwoo is an irresistible guy. But when I am looking at Dino in a close gap, I think he is handsome too. If only he knows how to style his hair or to wear good clothes, I bet he will look as hot as Wonwoo. Besides, Dino is a gentleman. When I first met Wonwoo, he cursed me and shoved me away. But Dino helped me carry my luggage.

"You are handsome too Dino," words slipped from my mouth. OMG! I said it out loud! I must be crazy!

He looked at me, eye to eye, lips are straight in line and I was here frozen on my seat.

"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" I stuttered.

"Because I can see a new world through your eyes," he murmured. He is too close that I can smell the beer scent from his lips.  "But most of all I see is a reflection of myself. The reflection I could not see in any mirror. This version of myself looks self esteemed, committed and confident because this is what you make me feel when you've said those words."

I didn't understand anything but my heart is beating so fast. Maybe I am already drunk. Let me change the topic!

"H-Hey, I want to ask something," I blabbered. "Remember when I first came here, you suddenly called my name. Before that, we talked by the phone but I didn't introduced my name. How did you know it? I am really curious."

His smile slowly faded away. "Because I already met you before."

What?! Really?!

"Eh? When?! At school?! When?! How?!"

Dino didn't answer. Again, he is just staring at me.

"Eyyy," I complained and gently hit his shoulder. "Tell me landlord. I cannot sleep until you tell me when did you..."

"Tsup~"

My world went black. It took me seconds before I realized the thing that happened between us. He pecked on my lips. He kissed me. He kissed me. He kissed me?! What the...!

"D-Dino," I stuttered and quickly stood up while holding my lips.

I feel the soft panic that can grow or fade depending on what will happen next. My frazzled nerves jumped all together, and in different directions. Why? Why did he...?

"H-Hey I'm sorry. M-Maybe I am too drunk. I am sorry. Can you just go inside your room? I don't think I can be a good guy if you are still here," he mumbled, heads down while he pulling his own hair.

He said I should go. He really did say it. But... my feet can't move according to his words. I was just stuck here, waiting like an idiot. Why am I being like this? I am already trembling in and out but it is not because I am scared from him.

Why?

Why am I wishing him to do more than a peck?

This is not lust.

I don't know if it's love.

I heard him sighed before he looked at me. Yes, he is surprised that I am still here standing beside him after that kiss.

We stared at each other in an odd way, as if it were a silent argument. Our glances battled each other, until tears arose, and I found him crying.

"Why..." my unfinished word.

He sighed, wiping his own tears, before rising from his seat. 

I felt an urge to do something, to comfort him, or to push him away. But in a moment he pressed his lips against mine, I felt my body loosen and my arms touch his shoulders.

I want to pull away before I lose myself but I can’t seem to.  My senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight. "(y/n)", he whispered my name slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them. Then he pulled back to kiss my ear lobe first, softly. I was shocked and pleasured that my strength left me and all I can do is to lean my back on the refrigerator.

"D-Dino," I called his name with my drunken heavy voice.

His lips work way down my neck to my collar bone before coming right back up for my lips that is waiting.

"Excuse me but I will get something from the fridge," a deep voice let us come into our senses again. We pulled back and looked at the guy standing in front of us.

"W-Wonwoo," I called his name.
