as soon as daehyun pulls his suitcase into the room, he looks around, surveying the area. two beds- thank god. he doesn’t know who his roommate is yet, but he doubts he’d want to share a bed with them (there are only a few people he’d be willing to share a bed with…)

he lets out a sigh, taking off his sunglasses and setting them on the nightstand before swinging his luggage up onto his chosen bed - the one closest to the door, in case he needs to escape.

in the midst of unpacking, daehyun hears the door open. he turns, preparing some sort of funny introduction. but he stops in his tracks when he recognizes the person standing in the doorway as one the guy who keeps popping up in elijah’s instagram (well, one of the guys. there’s that guy named hobi, but daehyun doesn’t think he’s a threat.)

junhoe? that’s his name, right? hoe is right. of course dae’s seen the blast from only a few days ago, and no doubt junhoe knows he’s seen it. it’s just a matter of whether or not junhoe knows of dae’s past with his new beau. he doesn’t doubt it; he wouldn’t be surprised if elijah shit-talks him to everyone he meets.

daehyun is instantly put into a bad mood, shown clearly in the frown on his face as he turns back to his unpacking without a word. he decides right then that he hates gossip girl.

it’s another late night for daehyun, full of cheesy dramas and equally cheesy doritos. tomorrow is a day off, and usually that would mean tonight is party night- but for some reason he felt like staying in. at some point he hears a car door slam outside the building  and out of curiosity and boredom he decides to look through his curtains at who it could be.

he sees a familiar figure stepping out of the car and frowns, recognizing elijah almost immediately. it’s always been a little awkward living in the same building as his ex. especially considering how much he hates him now. but at least daehyun can keep an eye on him.. make sure he’s safe and everything.

he doesn’t mean to be so attentive. he really does try to direct his attention back to the tv. but it’s three o’clock in the friggin’ morning, and what was he doing out so late?

daehyun chews on his lower lip, completely missing the big plot twist on the screen. is elijah being careful? is he.. seeing someone?

daehyun knows that elijah’s life is none of his concern. but hell, the whole reason daehyun gave up everything in the first place was to keep elijah safe -- even though he knows now that he was just being foolish and paranoid, he still can’t bring himself to tell the truth. it’s easier this way.

but what if he’s seeing someone though. is it someone cuter than him? someone taller? damn...

he mutes the show and listens, waiting to hear the door across the hallway closing before he stands up, picking up his cup of tea from the counter before wandering out, batman pajama pants and all, putting on his best casual face as he knocks on the door.
