Folding the laundry was a tedious task which took entirely too much time, in Chanhyun’s expert opinion about annoying household tasks. She could spend the entire day cleaning, but folding clothes was too bothersome. She’d caught sight of her roommate from the corner of her eye, but the young girl had her earphones in------obviously too loud to hear Chanhyun yelling for her attention.

Launching a sock ball as a projectile at Deullae was her solution to getting her attention, and the wicked laugh it elicits from Chanhyun is only a bonus. At the very least, she has the younger’s attention, even though she’s laughing too hard to actually tell her what she’d intended. It’s a good solid seconds of hysterical laughter before she caught her breath.

“We listen when we’re spoken to in this household,” Chanhyun scolded, playfully------it’s obviously a joke with the way she laughs, afterwards.

“May I have a moment of your heartfelt attention for a toast to the bride and groom, please, everyone? Thank you, perfect.

“One of my favourite quotes ever is from the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who once said: love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. But, look into each other’s eyes and then turn to look at the future together.”

She turns to the groom and gets emotional, here. “And I’m going to hate knowing that you make her happier than I ever have, but it’s for the best. You’ve got a woman as fragile as glass but stronger than diamonds and more precious than gold in your arms… but I’m sure standing here, you know that. And I’m sure you’ll take great care of her.

“She’s a pretty one, be careful,” she laughs before continuing, “I watched her grow from a shy teenager to the beautiful woman she is today, and my heart is at ease to have no doubts that this step in you’re relationship will continue to blossom the both of you into even better versions of yourselves, together.

i. There’s nothing wrong with roommates texting one another on a frequent basis. Chanhyun’s very insistent that she needs to check up on the younger girl, because there’s this terrible protectiveness that overcomes her when anyone so much as says Deullae’s name. And she doesn’t know where it came from, but it exists and that’s probably the one problem.

Every time Deullae goes out, she has this urge to act like her mother and make sure that she’s safe and sound. It’s not only because she’s worried about losing the best roommate in the world: it’s for a million reasons that are about as crazy as the monster under your bed idea.

She has her cell phone in her hands and she’s so close to texting Deullae and asking her where she is.

“Chanhyun, leave her alone for a night, will you?” she hears her friend saying and the twenty-five year old girl rolled her eyes, dropping her phone.

Dammit.

ii. She’s not always a crazy fanatic about her roommate------though, she’d chew off anyone’s head who dared to call her that. Sometimes, she forgets that Deullae’s home alone for a bit.

She can’t, for the life of her, remember what’s still in stock in their fridge. And she probably looks insane standing in front of the fridge and aggressively debating whether or not she needed to open the door and grab a jug of milk. Perhaps, she should text her roommate and ask her to check the fridge? But, no. She’d just left the house and told her roommate that she had everything under control and wrote out a grocery list.

Chanhyun might have a photographic memory, but recalling the contents of a fridge which she happened to see every single day was a little different (because she doesn’t know the chronological order of the images in her head).

Her phone buzzes and she looks down at the device------it’s a text from Deullae telling her to buy more milk.

Saves her a text and the stress. She shoved the device back into her pocket and moves to open the store’s fridge.

iii. Sometimes, she’s drunk out of her mind when she wants to text her roommate and everyone within miles of Park Chanhyun knows that it’s a very bad idea to put her cellphone in her possession after she’s had more than two drinks. She’s complaining about wanting her phone back to shoot her beloved roommate a message, but the device is far out of her grasp and her sister is so annoyed at her for whining.

“I swear you text her more than you text me,” Chaeyeon chided and Chanhyun pouted.

She doesn’t say anymore about the topic.

iv. The things that Chanhyun says to Deullae are either very supportive and loving, or downright strange and there’s no inbetween. The third time she intends to text her roommate she totally forgets about asking her to check the stove before heading to bed, because she doesn’t remember if she forgot about it, when she trips over her own feet and scrambles to straighten herself out.

No one saw that.

She hopes that Deullae doesn’t need the reminder to check and doesn’t burn their flat to the ground, because she’s bound to forget after she flees the scene.

v. She thinks better about it on the one day where she considers texting Deullae and asking her to watch Poof for the day, because she wasn’t going to be home until much later. But, she doesn’t know her roommate’s plans so she just drops her puppy off at her sister’s place.

vi. Out of everything that she can say, the one time she actually does text Deullae, it’s the stupidest thing in the entire universe.

“Yes, thank you for enlightening me.” Dandy replied with a hard stare and a pout. “I know plenty about your matchmaking skills, Angela. You don’t have to let other people know about your abilities though.” She said, as she folded the napkin on the table which had the waiter’s number scribbled onto them. Even just by thinking about what the other did to get those numbers made Dandy’s ears flare up again.

“I hate you,” she grumbled as she averted her gaze to the floor and sipped on her lemonade.

It’s not exactly her fault that her roommate would look good with almost everyone who graced this planet. And it’s not her fault that plenty of people found her roommate very attractive, either. Deullae was a pretty girl and pretty girls deserved the best. Or so, that’s what hunting for potential significant others was supposed to do for the other girl. Chanhyun’s just very insistent that her matchmaking skills be put into play whenever possible, “Ah, they know nothing.”
