Chapter Text

it was an awfully sunny day. the cicadas were relentless, chirping away as Kim Dokja sighed, his alarm ringing away annoyingly beside him. light was already leaking through the windows, into his small room. yawning, he felt around for his phone under his pillow, that had been ringing for what he thought was 5 minutes.

"... ?"

09:37AM

he rubbed his eyes.

"shit."

 

5 minutes later, he hurriedly slipped on his uniform, and rushed to the door, his coat half hanging off his shoulder. he had an exam today, how could he sleep in? maybe staying up to study wasn't a good idea after all... he twisted the knob, plunged himself outside and-

*BANG*

he fell headfirst into something- he didn't know what, but it couldn't have been good. his balance had been knocked off, and he saw the ground reaching to meet his face. he was going to fall for sure this time, he knew-

"...are you okay?"

it had to have been an angel. he was convinced. it was the smoothest voice he had ever heard, it left his ears ringing.

"... like... velvet...", Kim dokja mumbled to himself.

"pardon?"

shaking his head, dokja forced himself back to his senses, realizing he had stopped in mid air. phew, he didn't fall. that's good. he sighed in relief and looked up.

"oh."

a tall man stood before him, clutching him by the waist, preventing his untimely fall. he had sweeping jet black hair, and a piercing gaze that never left his. it was like he was looking at a model. flinching, dokja immediately pulled himself away from the man, who was now smiling, laughing at him.

"i-im sorry about that..", the short man choked, embarrassed. suddenly, realizing the time, dokja jumped.

"crap... im late. I'll see you later..?" dokja gave the tall man an awkward smile and sprinted away from his apartment hurriedly. who the hell was that handsome man... and what was he doing outside his dorm? he shook his head, his heart pounding in his chest, feeling weak in the knees. huffing to himself, he's secretly happy he woke up late.

"I hope I see him again..."
