Blissfully lost in a post-“positive evaluation” haze, Bin practically skipped on his way back to his apartment.
Alone time with himself and a delicious Cuban sandwich seemed ideal after being drained of every last drop of his social energy. ( And due to his mindset of fuck dieting during a celebration. ) All was indeed quiet on the Western Front until he nudged open the door – only to see an oddly familiar figure lingering in his living room. Reflexively, he jolted from shock and lifted his instrument in immediate defense.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the presence of his roommate.
It took a moment for his mind to register his own empty hands and the sandwich he had spread across the ground, its contents spilling out. “Ah, fuck…-- Seriously?” He reached down to grab the paper stuck beneath his foot. With the adrenaline already pumping through his veins, the other’s presence made his body tense. His brows knit together in irritation for a brief moment as he gazed down at the bag of chips in his hands. He wiggled his fingers to make the thin material crinkle.
There was a sense of defeat in Seungbin’s eyes as they traveled downward to the disaster at his feet. Unsalvagable. He lowered the guitar back to its home draped across his chest before unhooking the strap and gingerly placing it back inside. His back remained towards the other man ㅡ he didn’t need to see how he handled the instrument with all the tenderness one would with a newborn infant. Then, he contorted his body to reach towards the sandwich and unopened chips in the doorway.
“Hey, Chaeyoung. You scared the shit out of me -- . With your face.”
