The School Idol Roommate Decisions 3 (1/2)

Decisions (3)

“$80,” Aki kept on muttering. He could not shake off the feeling that there was a catch there, somewhere. It was like Liam was giving his house for free.

And that house! Aki liked, no, that's not right. He loved it -- its simple modern design, wide rooms, and that view outside. It was perfect.

Aki could have it all. It was such a steal and he would be so stupid not to grab it. He could even hear Jun shouting in his hears and telling him about it.

Right. Jun.

Aki walked around until he arrived at the park within the forest he saw earlier. He sat down on a bench and called his dearest friend.

“Jun Delfiiiiiiiiin!” Aki greeted the moment his friend took his call.

“Oh hey.”

“Don't 'oh hey' me. Why didn't you tell me that the owner was the school idol?”

“Oh is he?” Jun said in a fake surprised tone which made Aki's eyebrows twitched.

“Liar, you clearly know. I didn't even know that you guys know each other.”

Jun sighed on the other line. “Fine. I know that he is the owner. But I did warn you. I asked you a couple of times.”

“That's different.”

“...I know. Sorry. I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't even hear the rest of it, just because of your prejudice for Liam.”

Aki was about to protest when Jun spoke up again.

“And don't say you're not, because we both know you do.”

“You talk like you don't think he's the 'oh-glorious-school-idol',” Aki teased.

Jun chuckled. “Well, I still do. But he's my groupmate in one of my courses and he's really reliable and different from our impressions of him.”

“I know…” Aki murmured.

“Besides, think about the rent! Remember, you're gonna pay for half of your tuition this sem so you need all the money you can get.”

Aki chewed his lower lip and spoke in a small voice. “He said I could get it for 80.”

Jun cursed on the other line. “If you don't get it, I would!”
