The green bus drives away from the stop which supposed to be the place where Jongdae and Sehun took the bus together but Sehun won’t show up even until the second bus arrived-which Jongdae had been really patient about-and as the final decision, Jongdae left him behind. There are two options which Sehun could choose, one is that he has to run ten meters from where he’s standing to the next bus stop and catch up with Jongdae, or two he could wait for another bus that’ll come after the red bus which is the road trip bus to Namsan tower, another green bus comes at 09.20 which means, he’s gonna be waiting for a pretty long time.
Sehun went for it. He ran to the next bus stop without a doubt even though the shining sun in the sky is laughing at him at the moment, not even a minute he’s running, bullets of sweat are already dripping from his forehead. Sehun carried a backpack and a 14 inch sized carton box; formerly a package for an old 14 inch TV in his room. He couldn’t really blame Jongdae because the other is already waiting for him for 15 minutes plus his tardiness, so he’s not really in the position to go around saying “I’m so tired I won’t run ever again.”
He arrived first at the next stop and exactly few seconds later the bus stops in front of him, he immediately spots a mocking grin from Kim Jongdae who’s sitting at the back. Coming into the bus, there are only five people total including Jongdae and four others are looking at him, curious and half wanted to laugh.
He is literally drenched in perspiration at the moment.
“Enjoying your run?” Jongdae is still wearing a wicked grin across his face.
“Shut up.”
The bus suddenly moves upward, Sehun was too slow to sit anywhere to save himself and his stuff, and then he fell onto Jongdae with the box first right at his chest. Faint sound of suffocating came from the latter.
“What’s in the box? What’s. in. the. box.? I’ll tell you what’s in the box. His comic books, PLAY DOH. PLAY DOH. Can you imagine a college student playing play doh? WHAT’S HE EVEN DOING WITH PLAY DOH?? Oh, and plush toys, including his favorite named ‘pinku pinku’. (Expression really unpleasant), and the box was heavy as hell when it got onto me it’s just like-I don’t know. I almost die.” - Jongdae, unlucky.
“Sorry.” said the younger with a smug grin, followed by his usual weird chuckles.
After passing what had seemed to be forever, they finally arrived at the fourth stop which is already close to the boarding house. It’s in Apgujeong, as the name said, and its located in the famous elite district called Gangnam. Sehun carrying a box with Jongdae fixing the position of his backpack as they got off in the middle of the district seem really out of place. Girls with sophisticated clothing and make-up are walking here and there with smartphones in hands, busy men in suits are typing some serious shit in their laptops (or maybe they’re just checking twitter who knows), expensive cafes which Sehun had already predicted a piece of cake will be much much more than $20.
“Let’s just go. Fast.” Sehun smiles awkwardly.
“Good idea.”
They walked into an alley beside a café where the street that leads to the boarding house started from. Kim Junmyeon, the ever so great owner of the boarding house promised them to wait for their move in on this day, coincidently the lecturer who supposed to be teaching his class for today fell sick. (“Good news guys! I’ll open the door for you tomorrow!”).
Both finally arrived in front of the house, Sehun reads ‘the Sweet-Apgujeong’ loud and clear and laughs by himself, Jongdae eyed him weirdly. He pressed the bell. Something reminds him that Junmyeon had specifically instructed both of them to do something related to enter the house but he couldn’t remember what it is. Jongdae pressed the bell again.
Sehun pressed the bell.
Jongdae pressed the bell.
Not too long after they’re taking turns of pressing the bell with idiotic grins on their faces.
“Guys…” the front door finally opened, came the big hearted owner, Junmyeon with a patient smile, “…I told you to come in through the back door.”
Oh, now Jongdae remembers what the instruction was. (Junmyeon/owner 12.45pm (received)
remember to use the back door, okay? J)
“Uhhhhhhhh, sorry.” Said both of them, ridiculously in sync.
“Yeah I was in the house when those two came, there were Junmyeon, me, and Yixing, the others have classes. I was taking a nap on the couch when the doorbell rings obnoxiously, turned out they’re being dumb and dumber out there. (Stares long to the camera).” - Jongin, woke up, went upstairs, don’t wanna know anymore.
“I was… where was I? Oh! I was in the backyard (scratches head), I didn’t hear anything (chuckles).” - Yixing.
“I was cooking. (rubbing his face) I was really upset at their actions, I mean they’re the new tenants, they’re supposed to be keeping their images like how new tenants supposed to be. Their first day in the house and they’re already bombarding us with doorbell sounds.” - Junmyeon, a very patient human being.
“Heyyy we’re here!” Jongdae said excitedly when they finally showed up at the back door, opened by Junmyeon again. Sehun spins his free hand in the air as his sign of excitement, and then both burst in immediately.
“So where’s our room??”
“Right, so you guys just need to walk through this hallway, and then you’ll see a spiral staircase in the middle where the space parts all the doors and take the stair-because your room is upstairs-” he paused for a laugh but Jongdae and Sehun weren’t laughing with him, “…so, your room is on the right, beside the master bedroom-which is mine-it should be really easy.” Junmyeon finished the tutorial of going into their respective room with a spatula as a pointer and went back to the kitchen, where he joined another tenant they don’t know yet.
Sehun came out from the room, leaving Jongdae who immediately fell asleep after arranging all his stuff onto his own side of the room (also, there are two beds and they fought hard to decide which side are they going to sleep on), bringing a camera, Sehun decided to take himself for a house tour.
“I saw Sehun coming out of the room and it looks like he decided to look around by himself, I mean, I’m the owner? He should’ve asked me? But then again I was cooking for lunch, if I’m not cooking Jongin would be really mad once he woke up. The housekeeper is taking permission to leave town, her daughter’s sick (pouts).” - Junmyeon, motherly.
Sehun walked past the first bedroom after he tried to open it and turned out it’s locked, onto the second room which he found no tenant so he thought it would be rude to come in, until he opened the third one and the sight of a guy with lazy expression even when he sleeps caught his attention. He brings his camera closer to the person, and then shoots the whole room carefully. He went to his desk, lots of poems, books, doodles, and a piece of paper full of writings of someone’s name: Do Kyungsoo.
“Oh!” Sehun smiled wickedly and focuses on the paper.
He laughs quietly yet uncontrollably until he shoots properly again and found the guy who was sleeping earlier already standing in front of him.
“What are you doing.”
“OH, GOD!!!! GOD!!!! I SWEAR TO-”
“Who are you and what are you doing in my room.” The words coming out from his mouth without the asking tones are already creeping the shit out of Sehun and he wants out.
“I’m sorry dude I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry.” He exits himself and runs downstairs where he took cover on Junmyeon’s back.
“Oh here’s the new tenant!” the unfamiliar guy who’s standing with Junmyeon before noticed him and stretches out a hand. “Hey! I’m Yixing. You seem scared, what happened?”
~A self-camera session of Oh Sehun~
“Yixing was like “hello, you seem scared, may I offer you protection?” I was reaaaaally scared, that Jongin guy almost make me pissed. (pretends to cry), I swear to everything he was sleeping safe and sound it’s like not even an atomic bomb would wake him up but then I take a shot of a piece of paper and then BAM he already stood behind me. Yixing was like this holy sanctuary consisted of fairies, grass fields, and waterfalls after I’ve been trapped in hell…” - Oh Sehun, 20 years old, trembling.
“I’m Sehun…there was a guy earlier… sleeping… I went into his room…” Sehun stuttered.
Junmyeon and Yixing burst to laugh even before Sehun could finish his words. Yixing laughs so loud that he has to hold his stomach and lies on the couch. Junmyeon finished laughing and wiped his tears off, Sehun is currently lost, but is determined to turn on his camera again.
“What, what’s so funny?” he records the laughing Yixing and then back to Junmyeon who’s still chuckling a little bit.
“Oh are you recording now?” Yixing is suddenly not laughing anymore, Sehun raised his brows behind the camera and swears that if the entire house is possibly weird like so then this project would be so awesome.
“Junmyeon, he’s recording!”
“I can see that.” Junmyeon smiles.
Yixing stands right beside the owner and smiles to the camera, Sehun asked them to introduce themselves and went back to his question before. “So… guys, what’s so funny earlier?”
“You’d never want to come into Jongin’s room.” Yixing said with a chuckle, “That man, is the bitterest individual in this house, we all never knew the exact reason why but, well, he’s just like that. You could count how many times he had smiled though, maybe it’s around his birthday, and Christmas. He had spent Christmas here once.”
“What, you guys didn’t come home for Christmas?”
“Well, in my case, China costs a plane, a plane costs payment, and it’s not like Christmas and New Year holidays are that long in my campus though…” Yixing pouts almost unnoticed, “but I do come home every Lunar New Year!”
“So when dinner time comes, there were lots of food on the table and I literally couldn’t help myself. I went directly to the rice cooker and took my whole portion, then Junmyeon came and told me that we should let the new tenants get the food first. Whattttt? I’m so hungry I mean come on.” - Baekhyun, hasn’t met the tenants yet, just like the other six tenants.
Junmyeon carefully scooped in the rice to each bowls and put them on the table, placing one for his own at the end of the table. He took off his apron (he’s been wearing it all day long, Chanyeol just took a photo of him secretly earlier and laughed at it with Luhan), went upstairs and called for Sehun and Jongdae who’s been working on the footages they got this afternoon.
“Guys, dinner’s ready, and all the tenants were already down there waiting for you two.” He smiles as he peeks his head a little bit beside the door.
“Oh okay just give us a moment, alright?” Jongdae replies while setting up something in a video editing application in his laptop.
“You might want to hurry, I told them to not eat first before you two come down and they’re really starving.”
“Okay, we’ll come down as quickly as we could.” Sehun raised a thumb with camcorder covering his face, he’s still recording.
Jongdae and Sehun went down about ten minutes later and they could hear the crowd is cheering from the dining table, finally the cue for them to eat is here and they’re already picking everything with hand fights.
“Calm down guys, guys, here are the new tenants.” Junmyeon sits on his usual chair where he’s sitting facing to the middle of the table, all the tenants surrounding his sides.
Yixing who had met them earlier waved casually, beside him Sehun had took record in his camera is a guy with a honey colored hair, smiling and then laughing with his jaws almost covering half of his neck. Junmyeon took notice and laughs, “That’s Luhan right there.”
Luhan waves to the camera, “Hey there camera maaaan.” He greets him joyfully.
Sehun giggles unknowingly behind the screen.
“Hey new tenants! I’m the crazy jaws’ roommate, Chanyeol!” said the guy with a snapback followed by a deep voice.
Jongdae laughs and nods his head at him which Chanyeol replied with cheesy pointing fingers.
“The guy who’s already eating because he couldn’t take it anymore right now is Baekhyun, baek say hi.” Junmyeon took over the guy who’s been complaining earlier, Baekhyun raises up his hand as a sign of introduction and went back to eat.
“There, the guy with thick eyebrows and abnormal size of hands, can you see the size of his hands?? Look at it-record it!” everybody laughs at Junmyeon’s comment about Kris, Sehun gets closer to take a good shot of the elder’s pair of hands.
“My hands are not big. They are just designed to be very comfortable to look at when people see my entire arms. Junmyeon is just jealous. Because he’s short, and he has small hands. (laughs proudly).” - Kris, big hands and proud.
“…He said what? I do not have small hands! (Raised both of his hands to the camera), see these? These are the hands of the most capable person in the house, what couldn’t I do? I could cook, clean, wake them up when their alarms are not working, my hands are the truth.” - Junmyeon, useful hands.
“You see here there are actually three people who are at the same age and the eldest in the house as well. there are Minseok, Luhan, and Kris.” Sehun took a shot of them who are coincidently sitting side by side, Luhan starts to make funny faces while raising his thumb and Sehun laughs again.
Jongin is being passed because he said he had already met Sehun, but he waved politely at Jongdae. Being completely absorbed in the loud situation, they didn’t realize that the members of the boarding house are missing one person from the table. The medical student, Do Kyungsoo had just entered the scene and they fell for few seconds of silence until Sehun turns on his camera again and starts shooting the former.
“Hey there I’m Sehun, the new tenant, and this is my roommate Kim Jongdae.”
“Hiiiii!” they’re both talking behind the camera, Kyungsoo’s smaller figure on the screen is scrutinizing the thing intensely with those big eyes of him, he slowly smiles and waved at it.
Sehun couldn’t lie though he wanted to squish him, yet Jongdae had expressed his affection for the other by crumpling his hands and squeals, “Oh my god he’s so cuuuuteeee.”
Dinner went on again as loud as before and when Junmyeon started cracking some lame jokes, Baekhyun and Chanyeol start throwing watermelons at him as well. Kris is currently jamming to an unheard song in his chair and probably thinking he’s the coolest of all.
“While everybody is busy with their own business-I’m joining them, honestly-they were loud here and there all over the table and Kyungsoo just trying to eat his meal peacefully far back at the corner near Jongin-which I didn’t fail to notice-(smiles brightly). But then I got sad. (Pouts) you know why I got sad? Jongin sighed and gets up from his chair, leaving all the fun behind and went upstairs, I saw him getting into his room and slammed the door it was really unpleasant (pouts deeper until his dimples show up), then I saw Kyungsoo and he looks soooooo sad too. (Pretending a sniff).” - Yixing, an observer.
~A self-camera session of Oh Sehun~
“Good evening it’s Oh Sehun here, I’m turning the night mode on and I probably look super creepy right now because green colored video and white eyes, I hate this mode but I can’t turn the normal mode because Jongdae is trying to sleep!” “Get out Oh Sehun if you still want to record or I’ll kick you in the butt.” “Oops. That’s my cue to go out.”
So Sehun with his extremely poor handling at camera recording is coming out of the room quietly, the clock at the bottom right of the small screen is showing 12.45am, and there’s nothing stopping him from recording everybody else in their respective rooms. When he came out though, his camera caught sight of Kim Jongin doing the same thing like he does and Sehun went back inside for hiding. He spins the camera to himself and his scared face showed up on screen. “Holy shit that’s the emo kid two doors away!”
He puts his right ear onto the door and heard Jongin’s footsteps fading away. Sehun just got a wicked yet unbelievable idea; follow him. He went out again and tiptoes downstairs, walks through the hallway and spots a dim light from the kitchen; probably the fridge. He kept his camera on track and picked a strategic place to shoot some footage before he records what Jongin does in the middle of the night.
“He’s having late night snacks. This is a very best example of people with depression or frustration, they tend to be hungry all the time due to lack of happiness or satisfied feelings in each things they do, which led them to release it all on food, or other things they’re interested in. As we could all see here our object’s favorite thing is food. We have a very unique individual right here.” Sehun’s whispering a little loud and clear, in his thoughts Jongin is probably half asleep.
“Kim Jongin, right there, is a very grumpy character as you may already notice from the footage I got earlier when he woke up from his sleep. I went into his room and it’s kind of messy, some parts are not too messy but some is too tidy, therefore he must be suffering a dilemma. That dilemma is probably the main thing which caused his entire bitterness and coldness towards everybody.”
“What are you doing?”
“GOD! DAMN IT!!!!!!”
A harmless Luhan is standing right behind him and asking in a loud and clear voice, which make him once again caught off guard by Jongin. The latter woke up from his half asleep state and noticed the two standing not too far from him, right behind the kitchen cupboard. He stomped his feet angrily and walks closer to the-now-standing-and-exceptionally-terrified Sehun, “This better be the last time I see you creeping on me, you freak. Ok, so you got a camera and this whole project about documentary shit but that doesn’t mean you could interfere someone else’s business!”
Jongin’s eyes are really red and his brows knitted together, just like typical person who just woke up from a sleep, and with a single bump onto Sehun’s shoulder he made his exit.
“Oooops. I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’re currently filming him. Ugh, rough project, documentary film. Don’t you wanna sleep?”
To be honest, Sehun is really angry but somehow he doesn’t want to anymore.
“Honestly this is apparently the hardest project I’ve ever been encountered. I couldn’t want more sleep than this, but it’s fun, and I love analyzing anybody’s personality. So that’s a plus for me and none minus.” He smiles.
“Well can you analyze me next time? Without or with me knowing?” he asked before drinking his milk, a drip of white fluid is falling onto his chin.
“…umm,” Sehun’s eyes trail down that drip and back to his eyes, “I can always try, you know? Jongdae could also do that-he’s better, even.”
“Mhm? Is that so?” Luhan finished his milk and licks the leftover beside his lips and Sehun doesn’t know why but his heart starts beating faster.
“…Y-yeah.”
“Okay then, I’m going to sleep now. Good night, Sehun!”
“…Good night.”
A self-camera session of Oh Sehun ended here because he shuts down the camcorder.
Jongdae 10.00am (sent)

OhSeHun 10.10am (sent)
wtf man I haven’t even showered!!!!!!!!!
Jongdae 10.12am (sent)
lolololmao
It’s almost 10.30am and Luhan is still slacking off in his bed, not thinking about moving anywhere. He has a class at 11 he knows it and he doesn’t want to be late but his actions are wanting the exact opposite. He hasn’t showered, he hasn’t done anything productive since he opened his eyes at about 8.30, he didn’t grab any breakfast Junmyeon had prepared earlier for everybody and it looks like Chanyeol and Jongin were fighting about who’s going to take a lot more sandwiches. Luhan sighed. Finally he gets up forcefully from the magnetic area which is his bed and snatched a towel before opening his door, straightly walks to the bathroom right beside.
The door clicks open and a tall, shirtless figure bumps into him and Luhan finally opened his eyes at the sight of perplexed Sehun, drying his hair. “Oh hey, good morning to you.” He smiles.
“Y-yeah, good morning.” Sehun made his exit quickly, his steps looking a little bit weird when he enters and closes his door with slightly peeking eyes toward Luhan.
The elder scratches his head and proceeds to go back to his original destination, he kinda feel the urge to take a shit at that moment until the very sound of bunch of girls, excited ones, are filling the house. He’s quite sure he had caught Sehun’s name in between their high pitched whisperings slash quiet screams. Luhan furrowed his brows and went downstairs, found Jongdae in sight on his way upstairs, until they met in the middle of the narrow spiraling stairs.
“Umm…what was that all about? Why are there so many girls inside the house, you know Junmyeon has rules about that.” he folded his arms casually, towel on his shoulder making him looking less serious.
“Uhhh…” Jongdae raised up his index finger to begin to explain something rather complicated and closed his mouth again. “…it’s a long story. Actually not that long, but-” he went upstairs anyway without finishing his words, through a rather blocking Luhan and left him alone with a gentle slam on the door.
Luhan gapes.
“What the hell was that? I mean-(fixing the towel’s position on his shoulder)-he could’ve just told me ‘oh well Lu ge I’ll explain everything later ha ha’ he could’ve just told me THAT instead of bumping me to the side and secretly went into his room like he’s hiding the country’s secret. We all know we couldn’t bring the girls to the house if you still want to do that then you’ll have to pick some other place! (Shakes his head) (Looks at the clock) oh my God I’m late for class. (Runs out of the room).” - Luhan, not able to sort out his priorities.
Luhan basically went off for the rest of the day, when the lecturer is explaining about the use violin in the expansion of classical music he instead dozed off at the window where a view of the breeze gently blows the leaves to dance could be seen. He came home without even bother to stop by at another place and found Jongin leading his way up to his room with cola in hand, the housekeeper is finally back on duty and is now cooking for dinner in the kitchen. Luhan spots a lying Chanyeol on the couch changing the channels and stops at one where 2NE1 is performing their new song.
He goes up as well, having no appetite to eat or even just bother Chanyeol’s TV watching. He did realize since he first woke up that he’s not in the mood for anything particular that day and something just bugged his mind all day long, and that something came out of the room.
“Luhan hyung.” Sehun greeted him calmly, “How’s class?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t pay attention at all. How’s your day? Bet it’s good to be surrounded by the ladies.” He smiles half-heartedly and without waiting for Sehun’s reply he walks into his room and decided not to come out until the morning comes.
“Lu ge had a few history of dating… once he dated his senior but it didn’t last long because she’s graduating. Then he dated a librarian guy and broke up two months later because he said he was boring, literature and poems, he doesn’t really like it. (Munching potato chips) yeah, I mean he had changed partners a lot, like a lot, a lot. But I guess… he just hasn’t met the right one yet, that’s why he keeps looking, and changing. (Chuckles).” - Yixing.
“Luhan is complicated. (Brows narrowed) whaaat? You think I’m dating him? Nah man we’re best buddies! I have a girlfriend myself for two years now, c’monnn. Ok where was I? oh, yeah, Luhan is a complicated human being, his type of partner is very difficult, let’s just say he’s a perfectionist when it comes to a relationship. But I thought he kinda has this little crush on Sehun since the kid’s came? He likes cute people.” - Minseok, should’ve looked in the mirror and realized he’s cute as hell.
“(Laughing maniacally and gasping once at a time at everyone’s recording).” - Baekhyun, in a cupboard under the stairs, one midnight when everybody had gone to sleep, later got caught by a loitering Jongin.

The green bus drives away from the stop which supposed to be the place where Jongdae and Sehun took the bus together but Sehun won’t show up even until the second bus arrived-which Jongdae had been really patient about-and as the final decision, Jongdae left him behind. There are two options which Sehun could choose, one is that he has to run ten meters from where he’s standing to the next bus stop and catch up with Jongdae, or two he could wait for another bus that’ll come after the red bus which is the road trip bus to Namsan tower, another green bus comes at 09.20 which means, he’s gonna be waiting for a pretty long time.
Sehun went for it. He ran to the next bus stop without a doubt even though the shining sun in the sky is laughing at him at the moment, not even a minute he’s running, bullets of sweat are already dripping from his forehead. Sehun carried a backpack and a 14 inch sized carton box; formerly a package for an old 14 inch TV in his room. He couldn’t really blame Jongdae because the other is already waiting for him for 15 minutes plus his tardiness, so he’s not really in the position to go around saying “I’m so tired I won’t run ever again.”
He arrived first at the next stop and exactly few seconds later the bus stops in front of him, he immediately spots a mocking grin from Kim Jongdae who’s sitting at the back. Coming into the bus, there are only five people total including Jongdae and four others are looking at him, curious and half wanted to laugh.
He is literally drenched in perspiration at the moment.
“Enjoying your run?” Jongdae is still wearing a wicked grin across his face.
“Shut up.”
The bus suddenly moves upward, Sehun was too slow to sit anywhere to save himself and his stuff, and then he fell onto Jongdae with the box first right at his chest. Faint sound of suffocating came from the latter.
“What’s in the box? What’s. in. the. box.? I’ll tell you what’s in the box. His comic books, PLAY DOH. PLAY DOH. Can you imagine a college student playing play doh? WHAT’S HE EVEN DOING WITH PLAY DOH?? Oh, and plush toys, including his favorite named ‘pinku pinku’. (Expression really unpleasant), and the box was heavy as hell when it got onto me it’s just like-I don’t know. I almost die.” - Jongdae, unlucky.
“Sorry.” said the younger with a smug grin, followed by his usual weird chuckles.
After passing what had seemed to be forever, they finally arrived at the fourth stop which is already close to the boarding house. It’s in Apgujeong, as the name said, and its located in the famous elite district called Gangnam. Sehun carrying a box with Jongdae fixing the position of his backpack as they got off in the middle of the district seem really out of place. Girls with sophisticated clothing and make-up are walking here and there with smartphones in hands, busy men in suits are typing some serious shit in their laptops (or maybe they’re just checking twitter who knows), expensive cafes which Sehun had already predicted a piece of cake will be much much more than $20.
“Let’s just go. Fast.” Sehun smiles awkwardly.
“Good idea.”
They walked into an alley beside a café where the street that leads to the boarding house started from. Kim Junmyeon, the ever so great owner of the boarding house promised them to wait for their move in on this day, coincidently the lecturer who supposed to be teaching his class for today fell sick. (“Good news guys! I’ll open the door for you tomorrow!”).
Both finally arrived in front of the house, Sehun reads ‘the Sweet-Apgujeong’ loud and clear and laughs by himself, Jongdae eyed him weirdly. He pressed the bell. Something reminds him that Junmyeon had specifically instructed both of them to do something related to enter the house but he couldn’t remember what it is. Jongdae pressed the bell again.
Sehun pressed the bell.
Jongdae pressed the bell.
Not too long after they’re taking turns of pressing the bell with idiotic grins on their faces.
“Guys…” the front door finally opened, came the big hearted owner, Junmyeon with a patient smile, “…I told you to come in through the back door.”
Oh, now Jongdae remembers what the instruction was. (Junmyeon/owner 12.45pm (received)
remember to use the back door, okay? J)
“Uhhhhhhhh, sorry.” Said both of them, ridiculously in sync.
“Yeah I was in the house when those two came, there were Junmyeon, me, and Yixing, the others have classes. I was taking a nap on the couch when the doorbell rings obnoxiously, turned out they’re being dumb and dumber out there. (Stares long to the camera).” - Jongin, woke up, went upstairs, don’t wanna know anymore.
“I was… where was I? Oh! I was in the backyard (scratches head), I didn’t hear anything (chuckles).” - Yixing.
“I was cooking. (rubbing his face) I was really upset at their actions, I mean they’re the new tenants, they’re supposed to be keeping their images like how new tenants supposed to be. Their first day in the house and they’re already bombarding us with doorbell sounds.” - Junmyeon, a very patient human being.
“Heyyy we’re here!” Jongdae said excitedly when they finally showed up at the back door, opened by Junmyeon again. Sehun spins his free hand in the air as his sign of excitement, and then both burst in immediately.
“So where’s our room??”
“Right, so you guys just need to walk through this hallway, and then you’ll see a spiral staircase in the middle where the space parts all the doors and take the stair-because your room is upstairs-” he paused for a laugh but Jongdae and Sehun weren’t laughing with him, “…so, your room is on the right, beside the master bedroom-which is mine-it should be really easy.” Junmyeon finished the tutorial of going into their respective room with a spatula as a pointer and went back to the kitchen, where he joined another tenant they don’t know yet.
Sehun came out from the room, leaving Jongdae who immediately fell asleep after arranging all his stuff onto his own side of the room (also, there are two beds and they fought hard to decide which side are they going to sleep on), bringing a camera, Sehun decided to take himself for a house tour.
“I saw Sehun coming out of the room and it looks like he decided to look around by himself, I mean, I’m the owner? He should’ve asked me? But then again I was cooking for lunch, if I’m not cooking Jongin would be really mad once he woke up. The housekeeper is taking permission to leave town, her daughter’s sick (pouts).” - Junmyeon, motherly.
Sehun walked past the first bedroom after he tried to open it and turned out it’s locked, onto the second room which he found no tenant so he thought it would be rude to come in, until he opened the third one and the sight of a guy with lazy expression even when he sleeps caught his attention. He brings his camera closer to the person, and then shoots the whole room carefully. He went to his desk, lots of poems, books, doodles, and a piece of paper full of writings of someone’s name: Do Kyungsoo.
“Oh!” Sehun smiled wickedly and focuses on the paper.
He laughs quietly yet uncontrollably until he shoots properly again and found the guy who was sleeping earlier already standing in front of him.
“What are you doing.”
“OH, GOD!!!! GOD!!!! I SWEAR TO-”
“Who are you and what are you doing in my room.” The words coming out from his mouth without the asking tones are already creeping the shit out of Sehun and he wants out.
“I’m sorry dude I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry.” He exits himself and runs downstairs where he took cover on Junmyeon’s back.
“Oh here’s the new tenant!” the unfamiliar guy who’s standing with Junmyeon before noticed him and stretches out a hand. “Hey! I’m Yixing. You seem scared, what happened?”
~A self-camera session of Oh Sehun~
“Yixing was like “hello, you seem scared, may I offer you protection?” I was reaaaaally scared, that Jongin guy almost make me pissed. (pretends to cry), I swear to everything he was sleeping safe and sound it’s like not even an atomic bomb would wake him up but then I take a shot of a piece of paper and then BAM he already stood behind me. Yixing was like this holy sanctuary consisted of fairies, grass fields, and waterfalls after I’ve been trapped in hell…” - Oh Sehun, 20 years old, trembling.
“I’m Sehun…there was a guy earlier… sleeping… I went into his room…” Sehun stuttered.
Junmyeon and Yixing burst to laugh even before Sehun could finish his words. Yixing laughs so loud that he has to hold his stomach and lies on the couch. Junmyeon finished laughing and wiped his tears off, Sehun is currently lost, but is determined to turn on his camera again.
“What, what’s so funny?” he records the laughing Yixing and then back to Junmyeon who’s still chuckling a little bit.
“Oh are you recording now?” Yixing is suddenly not laughing anymore, Sehun raised his brows behind the camera and swears that if the entire house is possibly weird like so then this project would be so awesome.
“Junmyeon, he’s recording!”
“I can see that.” Junmyeon smiles.
Yixing stands right beside the owner and smiles to the camera, Sehun asked them to introduce themselves and went back to his question before. “So… guys, what’s so funny earlier?”
“You’d never want to come into Jongin’s room.” Yixing said with a chuckle, “That man, is the bitterest individual in this house, we all never knew the exact reason why but, well, he’s just like that. You could count how many times he had smiled though, maybe it’s around his birthday, and Christmas. He had spent Christmas here once.”
“What, you guys didn’t come home for Christmas?”
“Well, in my case, China costs a plane, a plane costs payment, and it’s not like Christmas and New Year holidays are that long in my campus though…” Yixing pouts almost unnoticed, “but I do come home every Lunar New Year!”
“So when dinner time comes, there were lots of food on the table and I literally couldn’t help myself. I went directly to the rice cooker and took my whole portion, then Junmyeon came and told me that we should let the new tenants get the food first. Whattttt? I’m so hungry I mean come on.” - Baekhyun, hasn’t met the tenants yet, just like the other six tenants.
Junmyeon carefully scooped in the rice to each bowls and put them on the table, placing one for his own at the end of the table. He took off his apron (he’s been wearing it all day long, Chanyeol just took a photo of him secretly earlier and laughed at it with Luhan), went upstairs and called for Sehun and Jongdae who’s been working on the footages they got this afternoon.
“Guys, dinner’s ready, and all the tenants were already down there waiting for you two.” He smiles as he peeks his head a little bit beside the door.
“Oh okay just give us a moment, alright?” Jongdae replies while setting up something in a video editing application in his laptop.
“You might want to hurry, I told them to not eat first before you two come down and they’re really starving.”
“Okay, we’ll come down as quickly as we could.” Sehun raised a thumb with camcorder covering his face, he’s still recording.
Jongdae and Sehun went down about ten minutes later and they could hear the crowd is cheering from the dining table, finally the cue for them to eat is here and they’re already picking everything with hand fights.
“Calm down guys, guys, here are the new tenants.” Junmyeon sits on his usual chair where he’s sitting facing to the middle of the table, all the tenants surrounding his sides.
Yixing who had met them earlier waved casually, beside him Sehun had took record in his camera is a guy with a honey colored hair, smiling and then laughing with his jaws almost covering half of his neck. Junmyeon took notice and laughs, “That’s Luhan right there.”
Luhan waves to the camera, “Hey there camera maaaan.” He greets him joyfully.
Sehun giggles unknowingly behind the screen.
“Hey new tenants! I’m the crazy jaws’ roommate, Chanyeol!” said the guy with a snapback followed by a deep voice.
Jongdae laughs and nods his head at him which Chanyeol replied with cheesy pointing fingers.
“The guy who’s already eating because he couldn’t take it anymore right now is Baekhyun, baek say hi.” Junmyeon took over the guy who’s been complaining earlier, Baekhyun raises up his hand as a sign of introduction and went back to eat.
“There, the guy with thick eyebrows and abnormal size of hands, can you see the size of his hands?? Look at it-record it!” everybody laughs at Junmyeon’s comment about Kris, Sehun gets closer to take a good shot of the elder’s pair of hands.
“My hands are not big. They are just designed to be very comfortable to look at when people see my entire arms. Junmyeon is just jealous. Because he’s short, and he has small hands. (laughs proudly).” - Kris, big hands and proud.
“…He said what? I do not have small hands! (Raised both of his hands to the camera), see these? These are the hands of the most capable person in the house, what couldn’t I do? I could cook, clean, wake them up when their alarms are not working, my hands are the truth.” - Junmyeon, useful hands.
“You see here there are actually three people who are at the same age and the eldest in the house as well. there are Minseok, Luhan, and Kris.” Sehun took a shot of them who are coincidently sitting side by side, Luhan starts to make funny faces while raising his thumb and Sehun laughs again.
Jongin is being passed because he said he had already met Sehun, but he waved politely at Jongdae. Being completely absorbed in the loud situation, they didn’t realize that the members of the boarding house are missing one person from the table. The medical student, Do Kyungsoo had just entered the scene and they fell for few seconds of silence until Sehun turns on his camera again and starts shooting the former.
“Hey there I’m Sehun, the new tenant, and this is my roommate Kim Jongdae.”
“Hiiiii!” they’re both talking behind the camera, Kyungsoo’s smaller figure on the screen is scrutinizing the thing intensely with those big eyes of him, he slowly smiles and waved at it.
Sehun couldn’t lie though he wanted to squish him, yet Jongdae had expressed his affection for the other by crumpling his hands and squeals, “Oh my god he’s so cuuuuteeee.”
Dinner went on again as loud as before and when Junmyeon started cracking some lame jokes, Baekhyun and Chanyeol start throwing watermelons at him as well. Kris is currently jamming to an unheard song in his chair and probably thinking he’s the coolest of all.
“While everybody is busy with their own business-I’m joining them, honestly-they were loud here and there all over the table and Kyungsoo just trying to eat his meal peacefully far back at the corner near Jongin-which I didn’t fail to notice-(smiles brightly). But then I got sad. (Pouts) you know why I got sad? Jongin sighed and gets up from his chair, leaving all the fun behind and went upstairs, I saw him getting into his room and slammed the door it was really unpleasant (pouts deeper until his dimples show up), then I saw Kyungsoo and he looks soooooo sad too. (Pretending a sniff).” - Yixing, an observer.
~A self-camera session of Oh Sehun~
“Good evening it’s Oh Sehun here, I’m turning the night mode on and I probably look super creepy right now because green colored video and white eyes, I hate this mode but I can’t turn the normal mode because Jongdae is trying to sleep!” “Get out Oh Sehun if you still want to record or I’ll kick you in the butt.” “Oops. That’s my cue to go out.”
So Sehun with his extremely poor handling at camera recording is coming out of the room quietly, the clock at the bottom right of the small screen is showing 12.45am, and there’s nothing stopping him from recording everybody else in their respective rooms. When he came out though, his camera caught sight of Kim Jongin doing the same thing like he does and Sehun went back inside for hiding. He spins the camera to himself and his scared face showed up on screen. “Holy shit that’s the emo kid two doors away!”
He puts his right ear onto the door and heard Jongin’s footsteps fading away. Sehun just got a wicked yet unbelievable idea; follow him. He went out again and tiptoes downstairs, walks through the hallway and spots a dim light from the kitchen; probably the fridge. He kept his camera on track and picked a strategic place to shoot some footage before he records what Jongin does in the middle of the night.
“He’s having late night snacks. This is a very best example of people with depression or frustration, they tend to be hungry all the time due to lack of happiness or satisfied feelings in each things they do, which led them to release it all on food, or other things they’re interested in. As we could all see here our object’s favorite thing is food. We have a very unique individual right here.” Sehun’s whispering a little loud and clear, in his thoughts Jongin is probably half asleep.
“Kim Jongin, right there, is a very grumpy character as you may already notice from the footage I got earlier when he woke up from his sleep. I went into his room and it’s kind of messy, some parts are not too messy but some is too tidy, therefore he must be suffering a dilemma. That dilemma is probably the main thing which caused his entire bitterness and coldness towards everybody.”
“What are you doing?”
“GOD! DAMN IT!!!!!!”
A harmless Luhan is standing right behind him and asking in a loud and clear voice, which make him once again caught off guard by Jongin. The latter woke up from his half asleep state and noticed the two standing not too far from him, right behind the kitchen cupboard. He stomped his feet angrily and walks closer to the-now-standing-and-exceptionally-terrified Sehun, “This better be the last time I see you creeping on me, you freak. Ok, so you got a camera and this whole project about documentary shit but that doesn’t mean you could interfere someone else’s business!”
Jongin’s eyes are really red and his brows knitted together, just like typical person who just woke up from a sleep, and with a single bump onto Sehun’s shoulder he made his exit.
“Oooops. I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’re currently filming him. Ugh, rough project, documentary film. Don’t you wanna sleep?”
To be honest, Sehun is really angry but somehow he doesn’t want to anymore.
“Honestly this is apparently the hardest project I’ve ever been encountered. I couldn’t want more sleep than this, but it’s fun, and I love analyzing anybody’s personality. So that’s a plus for me and none minus.” He smiles.
“Well can you analyze me next time? Without or with me knowing?” he asked before drinking his milk, a drip of white fluid is falling onto his chin.
“…umm,” Sehun’s eyes trail down that drip and back to his eyes, “I can always try, you know? Jongdae could also do that-he’s better, even.”
“Mhm? Is that so?” Luhan finished his milk and licks the leftover beside his lips and Sehun doesn’t know why but his heart starts beating faster.
“…Y-yeah.”
“Okay then, I’m going to sleep now. Good night, Sehun!”
“…Good night.”
A self-camera session of Oh Sehun ended here because he shuts down the camcorder.

lolololmao
It’s almost 10.30am and Luhan is still slacking off in his bed, not thinking about moving anywhere. He has a class at 11 he knows it and he doesn’t want to be late but his actions are wanting the exact opposite. He hasn’t showered, he hasn’t done anything productive since he opened his eyes at about 8.30, he didn’t grab any breakfast Junmyeon had prepared earlier for everybody and it looks like Chanyeol and Jongin were fighting about who’s going to take a lot more sandwiches. Luhan sighed. Finally he gets up forcefully from the magnetic area which is his bed and snatched a towel before opening his door, straightly walks to the bathroom right beside.
The door clicks open and a tall, shirtless figure bumps into him and Luhan finally opened his eyes at the sight of perplexed Sehun, drying his hair. “Oh hey, good morning to you.” He smiles.
“Y-yeah, good morning.” Sehun made his exit quickly, his steps looking a little bit weird when he enters and closes his door with slightly peeking eyes toward Luhan.
The elder scratches his head and proceeds to go back to his original destination, he kinda feel the urge to take a shit at that moment until the very sound of bunch of girls, excited ones, are filling the house. He’s quite sure he had caught Sehun’s name in between their high pitched whisperings slash quiet screams. Luhan furrowed his brows and went downstairs, found Jongdae in sight on his way upstairs, until they met in the middle of the narrow spiraling stairs.
“Umm…what was that all about? Why are there so many girls inside the house, you know Junmyeon has rules about that.” he folded his arms casually, towel on his shoulder making him looking less serious.
“Uhhh…” Jongdae raised up his index finger to begin to explain something rather complicated and closed his mouth again. “…it’s a long story. Actually not that long, but-” he went upstairs anyway without finishing his words, through a rather blocking Luhan and left him alone with a gentle slam on the door.
Luhan gapes.
“What the hell was that? I mean-(fixing the towel’s position on his shoulder)-he could’ve just told me ‘oh well Lu ge I’ll explain everything later ha ha’ he could’ve just told me THAT instead of bumping me to the side and secretly went into his room like he’s hiding the country’s secret. We all know we couldn’t bring the girls to the house if you still want to do that then you’ll have to pick some other place! (Shakes his head) (Looks at the clock) oh my God I’m late for class. (Runs out of the room).” - Luhan, not able to sort out his priorities.
Luhan basically went off for the rest of the day, when the lecturer is explaining about the use violin in the expansion of classical music he instead dozed off at the window where a view of the breeze gently blows the leaves to dance could be seen. He came home without even bother to stop by at another place and found Jongin leading his way up to his room with cola in hand, the housekeeper is finally back on duty and is now cooking for dinner in the kitchen. Luhan spots a lying Chanyeol on the couch changing the channels and stops at one where 2NE1 is performing their new song.
He goes up as well, having no appetite to eat or even just bother Chanyeol’s TV watching. He did realize since he first woke up that he’s not in the mood for anything particular that day and something just bugged his mind all day long, and that something came out of the room.
“Luhan hyung.” Sehun greeted him calmly, “How’s class?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t pay attention at all. How’s your day? Bet it’s good to be surrounded by the ladies.” He smiles half-heartedly and without waiting for Sehun’s reply he walks into his room and decided not to come out until the morning comes.
“Lu ge had a few history of dating… once he dated his senior but it didn’t last long because she’s graduating. Then he dated a librarian guy and broke up two months later because he said he was boring, literature and poems, he doesn’t really like it. (Munching potato chips) yeah, I mean he had changed partners a lot, like a lot, a lot. But I guess… he just hasn’t met the right one yet, that’s why he keeps looking, and changing. (Chuckles).” - Yixing.
“Luhan is complicated. (Brows narrowed) whaaat? You think I’m dating him? Nah man we’re best buddies! I have a girlfriend myself for two years now, c’monnn. Ok where was I? oh, yeah, Luhan is a complicated human being, his type of partner is very difficult, let’s just say he’s a perfectionist when it comes to a relationship. But I thought he kinda has this little crush on Sehun since the kid’s came? He likes cute people.” - Minseok, should’ve looked in the mirror and realized he’s cute as hell.
“(Laughing maniacally and gasping once at a time at everyone’s recording).” - Baekhyun, in a cupboard under the stairs, one midnight when everybody had gone to sleep, later got caught by a loitering Jongin.
