Opposites Attract

{Partners}

"Look Jinyoung, I can't switch with him," Jaebum said to a whiny Jinyoung, they had been talking for one hour about switching rooms or kicking Jinyoung's roommate out and none of them made sense but Jinyoung was so desperate.

"I'm exhausted and my sleep, what if I had an attack in front of him," Jinyoung said, looking devastated.

Jaebum eyes softened as he patted his head softly "I don't think Mark would judge you, it will be okay, trust me, go to your room and sleep,"

"Whatever Jaebum, Have a good night in hell," Jinyoung said sarcastically before leaving him to his room again.

He went back to his room to find Mark throwing all Jinyoung's stuff, eaten snacks and empty bags on Jinyoung's bed with a note 'Told you to clean up, since you didn't I helped - MT'

Jinyoung groaned as he started tidying his bed angrily throwing his dirty clothes in the washing basket, snacks and empty bags in the bin, he changed his bed covers and lightened a candle scent before going to the shower to relax.

It was 2:00 AM when Mark stirred up from his deep sleep by someone screams and cries, Mark tried to register what was going on as he rubbed his eyes and he opened the light and tried to look around with his half sleepy eyes till he spotted Jinyoung.

"Omma, Appa don't leave me, Nooo, NOOOOOOO,om-mma please please PLEASE, app-a DON'T nooo" Jinyoung was screaming in his sleep, sweating, groaning in pain, shouting the same thing over and over, Mark hurried to his bed to wake him, he was shivering crying and Mark felt like crying at Jinyoung's state, he called him over and over but no avail like Jinyoung was trapped on his nightmare, Mark shook him violently.

"Jinyoung, - J-jinyoung wake up!.... WAKE UP JINYOUNG!" Mark screamed still shaking his shoulders, Jinyoung finally woke up choking on his breath like he was drowning in Mark's arms, he looked at Mark in the eye and started crying hysterically as he buried his face in Mark's neck while muttering "Why didn't they take me with them? why" like a mantra.

Mark hugged him rubbing his back whispering "It will be okay, It's okay" in Jinyoung's ears till he calmed down and slept in his arms.

Mark carefully placed Jinyoung in his pillow, he covered him well then went to his bed with a sigh.

'What happened to him?' he thought.

A few hours later, Mark's alarm rang waking him up, he snoozed it then buried his face in the pillow and groaned, he couldn't sleep till 5:00 AM, thanks to his roommate Jinyoung, he wondered why he cared and took care of him the whole night in the first place.

The snoozed alarm rang again, Mark sighed, closing it before he got up. He took a towel and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

Jinyoung woke up with someone knocking his door, he got up and opened the door with half-opened eyes. Once he opened the door, he was welcomed with an exquisite angel in a white oversized sweater with an angelic smile.

Jinyoung rubbed his eyes to check if she was real. He looked again to see Jisoo, his beautiful colleague in front of him wide-eyed.

"What are you doing here?! " they said at the same time.

"It's my room, what are you doing here?!" Jinyoung asked with a smirk.

"Aww do you miss me? " he said, winking at her.

Jisoo scoffed as she rolled her eyes as she said, " You wish asshole! "

" Morning to you too, Wanna have some fun, honey? " Jinyoung flirted stepping closer, Jisoo was frozen in her place, she wondered how the cute sleepy angel turned into a pure asshole in a minute.

Before Jisoo could react, Jinyoung was pulled from his ear by none other than Mark.

" Told you to stay away from her if you want to live, ," Mark said as he let go of Jinyoung's ear.

" What the hell, Mark?!,"

" Out of your league, Jinyoung " Mark said with a cold tone then he looked back to Jisoo with a soft smile.

" Morning Jisoo-ah," he said going closer to her to hug her.

Jisoo stepped back, covering her eyes.

"Stay away, you shirtless i***t! ," Jisoo said, ears turning red.

Mark realized he was only with a towel around his waist covering his lower half, shirtless and still wet.

" Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I will change in seconds, wait for me in your room! ," he said, closing the door.

He then looked to Jinyoung, who was wearing a sweater and boxers.

" I can't believe you opened the door for her like that! ," Mark screamed at Jinyoung.

Jinyoung rolled his eyes, " Look who is talking?! "

Mark groaned muttering" Jerk" as he opened his wardrobe to change, he remembered what happened the day before and checked on him.

"Apart from being an asshole, are you okay? " Mark asked with a worried face, Jinyoung was shocked for a moment as it hit him hard what happened the night before, he had a nightmare and Mark who was a pure stranger saw him weak and fragile. Jinyoung hated that. His shocked face turned to a freezing one as he walked to the bathroom.

"Mind your f*****g business" Jinyoung spitted out, closing the door violently behind him.

Jaebum finished making his bed, he then turned to see Youngjae sleeping peacefully, not minding the unstoppable alarm ringing.

Jaebum chuckled, looking at him for seconds, not sure if he should ignore him or wake him up.

the alarm rang again so Jaebum woke him up, he called him.

" Youngjae? Youngjae..... YOUNGJAEE " he yelled but no avail, he stepped closer to Youngjae's bed.

He went to Youngjae's bed and started shaking him but got no response from him, he sighed looking at the heavy sleeper in front of him, he thought of throwing water at him but he might get killed so he went to the second plan tickling him.

Jaebum tickled his sides as Youngjae moved, suddenly he held Jaebum's hands that were tickling him tightly then opened his eyes as he looked down, He saw Jaebum looking at him eyes widened, Jaebum got up unblinking Youngjae's hands from him trembling a little.

Youngjae frowned as he got up, looking at him. "Are you okay, Jaebum?"

Jaebum blinked then said "Y-yeah, I J-just thought y-you have morning class since your alarm kept ringing so...yeah, Good morning and have a good day,"

"Oh my god, T-thank you for waking me up, have a good day too" as Youngjae replied with a bright smile then ran to the bathroom, Jaebum saw his back till he disappeared he looked back at his hands and sighed.

He left, so he picked up his wallet and phone from the table, he saw Youngjae's schedule lying beside his stuff 'oh he is taking the same classes as me' He thought as he took a deeper look on the schedule minutes later he came from the bathroom, gosh he is so beautiful.

"oh, you still here Jaebum-SSI?" Youngjae said coming from behind him, drying his hair with the towel in his hands.

"y-yes, I looked at your timetable we share the same classes so... Wanna go with me?"Jaebum offered.

"Sure! Wait for me" Youngjae said smiling and Jaebum wondered if Youngjae was always that bright and positive.

"I will wait for you outside," Jaebum said getting out, he checked up on Jinyoung, he knocked at his door, Jinyoung opened smiling once he saw him, Jaebum frowned seeing no dark circles or grumpy face.

"What happened, Jinyoung?

"Had some sleep?"

"That's good! omg, I'm so happy for you!" Jaebum said hugging him, he hugged me back laughing.

"Yes, I know the sad part is Mark witnessing me having a nightmare and panic attack after"

"Ohhh..and how did he react?"

" It doesn't matter, he is a bastard anyway, he a party pooper" Jinyoung said getting mad.

"I need to thank Mark then, he is the one who going to make you 'I promise I will try' work," Jaebum said chuckling.

"Shut up Jaebum, you are ruining my morning,"

"Whatever my roommate is so cool, he is Mark's best friend,"

"Oh my JB is thinking of having a new friend,"

"Shut up! and yes, I think he is a great guy,"

"Eager to see him, Jaebumiee,"

"He shares the same classes as me so you might see him with me, He is waiting for me so I have to go, bye"

"Bye, traitor," Jinyoung said with a small smile as he saw Jaebum leaving the room.

' Finally, he is trying to have friends in his own' Jinyoung thought.

Jisoo was in the class trying to focus on her chemistry professor lab partners announcement to catch her lab partner name, she was getting bored hearing all of her class names until the professor said.

"Jinyoung park with Jisoo Kim," the professor called.

Jisoo couldn't believe that happening, out of all people Jinyoung was her lab partner who she had to deal with for the rest of the semester, she sighed moving to stand next to him.

"Today is my lucky day" Jinyoung mumbled sarcastically. as she stood up next to him in the

"Stop sulking and start doing this s**t, be careful not to burn us down, " Jisoo said taking the test tube and start testing the reagent.

"Aww! are you worried about me baby?" Jinyoung said winking at her as he started working too.

"What? noo! am worried about my marks not you and don't call me baby!" Jisoo protested.

Minutes later Jinyoung felt a fire in his back as Jisoo was behind him, her chest touching his back as she extended her arm to take a reagent in front of him, Jinyoung turned to look at her with a surprising look as he realized their closeness, she looked at him with 'what' face before she moved away, Jinyoung remained frozen on his place, he wondered why whenever he was close to Jisoo he would feel a fire through his body, his mind would stop to work whenever a sudden action happened from her.

"HEY, WATCH OUT!" Jisoo yelled breaking Jinyoung's spacing out-state she pushed his hand away making the test tube fall and broke.

"WHAT THE HELL DUDE! I told you to be careful! who heat a reagent without a holder?? seriously! look at your burnt hand!" Jisoo yelled with a concern, she took his hand and put it under the cold water as she rubbed it carefully. Jinyoung didn't say a word, he stood looking at Jisoo taking care of his hands. his heart was filled with warmth all of sudden making him freak out internally.

"JISOO...JINYOUNG GET OUT AND MEET ME IN MY OFFICE AFTER THE LAB IS OVER" their professor yelled at them, pointing at the door with his hand.

'Shit... Jisoo will kill me' Jinyoung thought.

"We are very sorry,sir...we will wait for you right after the infirmary, his hand needs to get cured," Jisoo said bowing before dragging Jinyoung out of the lab.

'Why she cares when we hate each other?'.
