ROOMMATES BY MISTAKEUpdated at Jun 29, 2026, 02:05
Starting university was supposed to be simple for Akira—a first-year student known for her tomboy appearance, blunt personality, and preference for keeping to herself. With strict hostel regulations separating male and female students, she expected an ordinary girls’ dorm experience and a quiet roommate she could tolerate. Morgan, on the other hand, arrived ready to reinvent himself in college—a gentle, stylish yet talkative first-year whose soft appearance and feminine name often led people to make assumptions about him. But due to a registration system glitch that mistakenly marked Morgan as female, both students are assigned to the same room in the girls’ hostel. Under university policy, first-year students are strictly prohibited from exchanging rooms, changing accommodation blocks, or requesting transfers during the first year of admission, and hostel inspections, curfews, and disciplinary checks make breaking the rules risky. Forced to live together while hiding a mistake they never created, Akira and Morgan begin their uneasy co-existence filled with awkward silence, clashing personalities, and reluctant understanding. As campus rumours spread and tension builds, small moments of vulnerability slowly chip away at the walls they both keep up for different reasons. What starts as frustration and forced tolerance gradually turns into an unexpected emotional connection neither of them can ignore. In a space built on rules meant to keep people apart, they find themselves quietly, unwillingly, and steadily falling in love.
