Uncharted bonds

6 (Unexpected guest)

And just like that, I secured a spot in the school dormitories. During the renting process, I learned a few crucial details about our dormitory regulations.

There was a strict deadline of 8 pm; after this time, entry would be prohibited, and a teacher would arrive to take attendance. If we were not present in our rooms, our parents would be promptly notified. Additionally, we were advised not to allow anyone who didn't reside in the dormitories into our rooms. As I previously mentioned, our school is an extensive institution with its own institute where we attend classes after regular school hours. Adjacent to our school is a girls' college, affiliated with ours, whose students also reside in these dormitories.

The blaring alarm jolts me awake. Oh no, I'm going to be late! Then it hits me - I now live in the dormitory!

My school was just a stone's throw away from my dorm then... It was so convenient, man. Alright, time to get ready for classes. I could take it easy that day, hehe. After a quick shower and getting dressed, I headed to the mess for breakfast. They were serving milk and sandwiches; the food was just okay. Then it was off to school for a normal, sleepyhead kind of day. Kerin, as usual, spent the day snoozing.

It was 7 pm, and I was back in my dorm room, feeling hungry. I decided to make some noodles using the electric kettle I had managed to hide from the student council leader. As I was preparing my noodles, I suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the room next door... How did I even begin to explain those sounds? I mean, they sounded like they were moaning...

Someone was up to some weird stuff... It was almost 8 pm; the warden was about to come for attendance, and that crazy girl was... OMG, just a moment later, the noodles were ready, but my appetite wasn't. Then, I heard a knock on the door next to mine, and I tensed up. I was worried about that crazy girl. The warden was at her door, and I could clearly hear her saying, "Open the door, it's time for attendance." The girl was taking her time, so the warden used her spare key to unlock the door.

I was standing at my door, watching as the warden grew impatient. When she entered the girl's room, I heard a noise on my balcony and turned to look, but I didn't see anything. Then, I heard the warden scolding and checking the girl's balcony and room, but she didn't find anything. I didn't check my balcony after hearing that noise. The warden took my attendance and left, heading downstairs. Since my room was the last one on this floor, I closed my door. But then, I decided to look at my balcony and opened the glass door. I was shocked by what I found there...

It was Kerin, yes, my classmate Kerin. I was looking at him, and he was sitting there crouched and said, "Hey." I was too shocked to say anything. I didn't want to get involved in any of this, so I didn't respond to him and just turned away. I was about to close my glass door when he stuck his hand between the glass door and forced his way in, saying, "You should help your friends in need; you are just so cruel." Then he sat on my bed and also took my noodles from me, saying, "Thanks for the noodles.

He asked me,"By the way, Ruby, since when have you lived in the dorm?" I replied, "From today," and he got his noodles stuck and started coughing. I quickly gave him water, not because I was being considerate, but because I didn't want anyone to hear his male voice; after all, if I got caught... I couldn't imagine my father's reaction. After having water, he said, "It was your first day, and you met me here; how lucky you are." While listening to his nonsense, I sat on the bed beside him and asked nonchalantly, "What were you doing here?" Suddenly, I remembered the moaning sounds and got flustered, he started laughing after seeing my face and said, "s**t, man. I didn't get any fun and she was having her best time, and when it was my turn, that warden came Ughhh...

What do you mean by this? Are you guys dating?" He didn't say anything, so I said, "Wait a sec; she is a college girl... You are dating an elder." Oh man, I didn't know you were into the elders." He looked at me with narrowed eyes and said, "Excuse me, what do you mean by elders? I didn't even propose; she's the one who begged me to become her boyfriend.

So you just accepted just like that? Man, your standards are just too low. If I had a face like yours, I wouldn't settle for just anyone. I mean, you should set your standards high.I said.

"Wait, what did you say just now?" he asked.

I replied, "You should set your standards high."

"No, before that," he pressed.

I hesitated, then said, "I said, with a face like yo..."

"Ummm, so you liked my face too?" he quipped.

"No, I didn't say anything like that,".

He started teasing me, saying, "so you liked my face hn." As he leaned towards me while saying this, I found his face so close to mine. Feeling flustered, I got up from the bed and said, "I think you should go now." Understanding the mood, he left quietly.

My heart raced uncontrollably...
