@⊹ jung taekwoon. "Why- aren't you fond of me? Still thinking of other hot chefs out there? I'm not saying I'm the hottest man in the world. Just know that I'm that hot". He beams with full confidence as he swings the chopsticks in circular motion using his fingers. He lets the male savour his ramen bowl as he himself isn't that hungry that much. What's important for Jeno is for Taekwoon to be able to eat a lot and make up with all the nutrients he's lost since the day he got sick. He places a hand on his lowerback, rubbing it there with so much care as he watches him eat up. "Yeah I am. I've been thinking lately to take over in our family business. I liked the idea of being a club dj but at the same time I want to make real money you know. For our future". He really included the word 'our' as he thinks he should really do his best not just to impress. Being a club dj won't make that much of money and he wouldn't want this guy to think he's incapable of something. Handling their business might be the right thing to do.

@⊹ lee jeno. Taekwoon’s eyes followed Jeno’s movement in the kitchen with a smile upon his face, while he caught sight of the small blush on Jeno’s face but he decided not to bring it up.
“A hot personal chef…? You must think there aren’t other good looking people in this world.” He teased jokingly but kept a serious face to play along as he happily looked down at the ramen bowl, his stomach lowly growling at the sight of food. “Mmmm..thank you hot personal chef.” He responded before taking the chopsticks with a small thank you before bringing them to his bowl and began to eat quietly. “Mm! So good.” He stated with a happy expression and his mouth slightly full. His gaze moving to Jeno before leaning over and placing a soft peck upon Jeno’s cheek. “Have you been working a lot lately?”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Jeno felt happy and relieved at the same time upon hearing that sweet statement from the taller male so he rubbed his back and placed a peck on his cheek. "Aye, this man is becoming a sweet talker each day". He grins, quite flushed whenever he hears something cheesy from him out of the blue. He walks towards the counter and starts to heat up the ramen in the microwave while he sets the other foods such as sushi, maki, and tempura. A cheeky smile widening on his façade as he glances at the male sitting patiently in front of him. "Personal chef? I like the sound of that. A hot personal chef". He wriggled his brows playfully before turning his back and takes the bowl out of the microwave after hearing the alarm. He sits just beside the male as he lets the ramen cool down a bit and hands over the chopsticks as well as the big spoon to Taekwoon. "Have a sip now, babi. You need to eat a lot". He takes a chopsticks for himself and pokes the salmon sushi to dip it into the free soy sauce and plops it on his mouth.

@⊹ lee jeno. As Taekwoon follows Jeno’s guide and slowly climbs out of bed, his full upper body is exposed.”Alright alright..time for ramen.” He felt the other males hand on his lower bare back and it caught him by a slight surprised before he glanced over to Jeno with a eye smile. “I am okay at the moment. Just really enjoying this quality time with you.”
He states with a soft smile, following Jeno’s movement to the kitchen. He sauntered behind Jeno with a happy hum before he approached the kitchen counter top and pulled out a bar stool to take a seat as he brought his hands to rest upon the kitchen island. “Are you my personal chef for now?” He asked teasingly while his eyes followed Jeno’s beautiful figure.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. He just nods with a smile playing on his lips and pinches the male's chin. "I know, I know. I'm kidding. It will if I'm truly a boring person". He emits a chuckle as he rubs Taekwoon's side when he wrapped an arm around him. Poking his lowerlip as he looks at the male, grinning at every word he say. "Agree. I'm really glad we crossed paths, Taek. Never have I met a mysterious yet a pretty cuddly guy such as you. Ayt, so let's go heat up the ramen. Let's hope the noodles aren't that soggy". He pats the male's thigh, motioning for the both of them to stand up without breaking their body contact. Jeno carefully lets him stand on his toes but his hand is resting on his lower back for support. "Tell me if your dizzy, alright?"

@⊹ lee jeno. () Sorry mate. I moved into a new house so I’ll be busy for a bit ()

Taekwoon found Jeno’s little behavior to be quite amusing, before he shakes his head and chuckles.
“No. You aren’t boring. Just bored of staying indoors…” he whispered softly before taking his other arm and wrapping himself completely to Jeno with a wide smile, nuzzling his nose within the younger males hair playfully.
“Thats true..we did meet in an odd way but still entertaining when the story is repeated. But I’m glad I did.” He stated softly, taking a hand to Jeno’s hair out of his eyes so they can meet Taekwoons as he gently held a grin upon his face. “Mmm Perhaps I am ready for that soup now?”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Jeno shook his head, faking a sad expression as he purses his lips just to see the other's reaction. "You said you'll get bored. while I'm here". Being called a little man made him cackle but he refused to show it. "I envy your height at some point. Wish I'd stand 6ft tall too. Didn't my height bother you though?". Jeno poked his chin while keeping himself comfortable under his touch. A small smirk appearing at the corner of his lips at the last remarks. "You'd probably feel sorry if someone got in on your place first. But yeah.. I'm also lucky I met you before someone else did. I mean, technically you've met quite a few people here too but I'm still amused at the idea of us meeting unexpectedly at the beach and eventually not being able to stop from seeing each other now". He chuckles as he remembers how Taekwoon reacted when he accidentally stepped on his beach towel as strangers and the rest was history.

@⊹ lee jeno. Taekwoon heard Jeno’s quite surprise to the words he chose before he quickly shook his head.
“No no! You aren’t boring. I simply hate lying around for too long but I don’t really have an option right now..” he stated before slipping further down into the bed sheets and cuddled up to Jeno with a smile.
“I shall poke you when I’m hungry, little man.” He joked back with a small laugh escaping his lips, bringing his lips down to place a gentle smooch upon Jeno’s cheek.
“As for you’ll still be around even if I say no…thats a bit risky of you, bub. I may be calm and quiet- but I wouldn’t be around when I’m angry.” He teased lightly with a slow nod, bringing a hand to move Jeno’s bangs out of his face slightly taking a moment to admire his facial features. “Mmmm you are macho man and so kind to me. I’m glad I swooped in before someone else could get you.”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. "So bored? Does that mean I can be boring to you?" Jeno lets out a forced chuckle after hearing the male's comment while he can only think of it being a good way to unwind and get to know him even more. He doubt he will be bored by staying at home wit Taekwoon. "Alright then, big guy. Just poke me whenever you feel like eating already, ok? I'll be your servant today". He stated jokingly at the term he used and just embraced Taekwoon's warm body while he emits a sigh of content. Just being around him soothes up everything. He looks up at him and hearing his words brings a smile on his face. "I'm glad that I can contribute to your happiness, Taek. Always remember that I'll be here no matter what. Even if you say no".

@⊹ lee jeno. Taekwoon was still trying to fully wake up as his eyes took a bit to adjust to the room lighting but the feeling of Jeno’s fingers running through his hair relaxed him further and a small content hum left Taekwoon’s lips as he leaned into the touch.
“A few days? Dear goodness…I hope I’m not stuck here for days. I would be so bored and worried. And I’m glad you brought extra clothing and yes of course you can use mine if you need to.” He stated with a soft grin upon his face, then he watched as Jeno took his hand and pecked it, causing Taekwoon to blush lightly at the gesture before slowly shaking his head. “No…I’m okay. I just want to lie down right now and sleep a lot…” he stated but not before Jeno brought up seducing and it caused wide eye Taekwoon before he chuckled. “I am running high temperature, needed to cool off. You can adjust the thermostat if you’d like.” But before he knew it, Jeno is under the sheets and lying his head on Taekwoon’s chest. Taekwoon brought himself to lean down and place a soft peck upon Jeno’s forehead before wrapping an arm around the younger males waist to partially cuddle.
“Thanks for coming. Having you here makes me really happy. You definitely are a cutie.”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Running his slim fingers through the male's hair as he sits in the small space beside him, a smile reaches half of his eyes after seeing him awake and hearing him greet him back. "Anything for you, Taekwoon. Good thing I only work night shifts and now I have the whole day to spend with you or maybe a good number of days? Unless you'll want to stay away from me aha. I did bring a couple of clothes. I can always borrow some of your clothes, right? Just in case I'll extend my stay.." He grinned, liking the idea actually and not even minding about him catching the virus from Taekwoon as long as he is with him then nothing can separate the two of them. "How are you feeling now? Want me to prepare the food and bring it here? You might get dizzy if you'll stand up and walk around". Jeno finds the male's hand and brings it to his lips to dust a peck on top of his palm, squeezing it too for extra affection. He noticed how cold his hand is, seeing him also with no shirt on. By the way, he looked hot even in his sick phase. He quickly looked around to find the remote control for the aircon and adjusts it to a warmer temperature. "Are you serious- you are sick, the temp is at 16 degrees celcius, and you have no shirt on. Are you trying to seduce me?" Jeno teased with a small smirk at the corner of his lips, playfully going under the sheets and popping his head on Taekwoon's chest.

@⊹ lee jeno. It was almost as if Taekwoon was asleep for days, but in reality he was only asleep for about three hours. His lecture ended early and he didn’t want to do anything but rest. Luckily next week is spring break and he is looking forward to that.
He curled up into his bed before he heard slight noises rustling in the kitchen and then the dip of his bed, as if someone had entered his room. He figured it was either a roommate or Jeno, before he knew it he felt a small kiss upon his head and that urged him to peel his eyes open and shift his body to face the handsome man Jeno himself, eyes slightly drooped from being tired but he smiled softly in return. “Jeno…hello.” He whispered as his voice is slightly raspy from being sore. Hearing about all the stuff Jeno brought made him very grateful but also blush at how kind his partner is. “You…went above and beyond, bub. I am…utterly shocked but also appreciative. I will happily eat all of it.” He nodded slowly with a gentle smile still upon his face, before he brought a hand to cover a cough that escaped from talking too much. “Did you bring spare clothing? We may need to quarantine with each other.” He joked lightly, but then his blush got even worse as he realized he is in bed with no shirt on and just pajama pants, so he scooted the blanket as high as possible to attempt in covering himself up, despite Jeno seeing his whole body basically before.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Jeno just woke up from from a short nap when he received a text message from Taekwoon that he is feeling under the weather today. No matter how sleepy Jeno was, it felt like he needed to get up and be there for Taekwoon. So as promised, he went out with his usual on the go white shirt and sweatpants outfit. He picked up some japanese meal from a really good restaurant before he hit the drug store to purchase some medicine and vitamins. He also dropped by the market nearby to pick up some fruits like banana and apples, hoping Taekwoon will eat them all to recover fast.

After an hour of running his errand, he drove straight to Taekwoon's loft, rushing himself as he wouldn't want him to wait that long for him to arrive. Once he reached the location, he parked his car just outside the building and brought everything he purchased in one go. He took a lift from ground floor to Loft 21. He remembered Taekwoon told him that the door is unlocked so he didn't bother texting him before entering the loft. It was really quiet as he explore the room and he quickly settled the goods in the kitchen table, washed his hands first before checking on the male inside his bedroom. He knocked about 3 times as a form of courtesy before striding towards the male who is sleeping. His expression dropped knowing the male isn't feeling well and he had to remain quiet as he approach him. Planting a kiss on top of his head before whispering: "Baby, I'm here. I bought you a really good ramen, sushi, and some other snacks".

@⊹ kim taehyung. Hearing the obvious younger seem slightly excited about having the room closest to the bathroom, a light yet loud enough chuckle left Taekwoon's lips. He found this fellow quite interesting funny enough and it seemed they would get along for the most part.
He was then surprised from the next question that arose when Taehyung pointed to the pile of thesis’s upon the kitchen counter and a small smile form upon Taekwoon’s face with a nod. “Yeah. These are essays from my students. I can’t say with confidence that I can make dinner but I can handle financials and administrative work. I do enjoy cleaning though and sometimes will do it for fun…” he trailed off, wondering if that sounded weird to say as his first impression but it was already said so no going back now.
He had hoped the other just didn’t think he was a weirdo, which the overthinking thought that started to go through his mind only made him to bring a hand to his jeans and grip lightly at the fabric to comfort himself.
“What sort of baking? You do seem soft like a Soufflé“ He sort of blurted out that last part but wasn’t entirely lying, Taehyung had a very soft easy going personality and that was the first thing Taekwoon noticed about him.
“Oh, I chose the room furthest away close to the kitchen. I have a bad habit of staying up and getting coffee so I didn’t want that to wake you guys up.”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. "Yeah, I actually scoped out the place! Took the room closest to the bathroom. I just hope I don't regret it." He joked, making eye contact with the scattered papers on the kitchen counter. Quite curious about Taekwoon's profession, the baker gestures to the work. "Is this related to your job?" Good impressions so far, he could finally ease into the comfort of his seat and slouch. Taekwoon had a quiet voice, yet somehow soothing. He wasn't a big talker himself. Something about this guy made him believe he didn't have to fill in the silence of a room. Comfortable silence was acceptable. Smiling at the thought, Taehyung met his gaze again. Things were working out well in his favor.

"I'm a baker, but I'm not so shabby in cooking either. I could make dinner from time to time if you're busy working." They should've waited for their other roommate to have this conversation, but being giddy at the moment projected over mind and matter.

@⊹ kim taehyung. Taekwoon was half way done with reading thesis papers after thesis papers and it felt like it kept dragging on and on.
He let out a final sigh as he began to bet a little tired and his hand begun to cramp up from writing grades on paperwork. He was soon caught off guard when he started to hear slight movement behind him and he figured someone had arrived, more than likely one of his two roommates. Mentally preparing himself for a conversation to be had, he was then snapped out of his train of thought when he is approached with a very cheery and excited voice.
Shifting his head up to face his gaze upon another male with a laid back appearance and a gentle grin, Taekwoon parted his lips to introduce himself with his usual friendly but monotone state “Good afternoon Taehyung. My name is Taekwoon. Its a pleasure to meet you also. Did you make yourself comfortable in a room already? This place was bigger than I expected honestly.” Taekwoon wasn’t very good at small talk but he could keep a conversation going. He is a professor after all, part of his job. He did slightly catch on that the other male seemed a little nervous though and he hoped that his calm demeanor would relax his nerves.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Taehyung considered himself to be pretty darn lucky. First, scoring a job in a profession that he qualified the most for with the best experience he could provide. Second, settling down in a country where his parents were from by himself, and third, getting housing! The baker wasn't against the whole having roommates aspect (considering he grew up with two other chaotic siblings, this would be child play.) He looked at the entire loft from top to bottom, trying not to be overly expressive with his surprised reaction to the new capacity. Someone was already here and occupied the other living quarters closest to the kitchen. Raven black hair instantly caught his attention as the stranger seemed to be deeply in thought whilst looking at papers."Ah, one moment!" Without hesitation, he dragged his luggage and backpack and took the room closest to the bathroom. The other guy would have taken it if he wanted it.

Gently putting his stuff on the ground, Taehyung removes his jacket and neatly ruffles his hair before stepping out to make a good impression. Walking towards the kitchen with a bright simper casting on his face, he clears his throat and sits at the unoccupied chair that's across from his roommate. "I'm Taehyung, nice to meet you, roomie!" Was his approach too perky? Too late to take it back now. All the muddled thoughts swirled in his head in the span of seconds and he just hoped that the guy setting across from him couldn't see the panic in his dark eyes.

() I suppose I’ll do a random starter :) ()
Taekwoon was not sure why or how he ended up in this predicament based off downloading an app.
He was now sharing a space with strangers he did not know and they could be killers for all he knew. He let out a small sigh as he felt too old to being doing this roommate thing at the age of 32. Dragging his luggage into the loft space, he ended up on the bedroom that is the farthest from the others but closest to the kitchen, entering the space and setting his bags down on the bed. He took a moment to mentally prepare himself for chaos, or possibly solitude. He was a bit more on the quiet side with a chill vibe type of personality, leaning down to pull out a folder of papers and a red pen, he made his way to find the kitchen to sit at the table and began to grade papers for his class while he awaited for the other roommates unless he is alone but he wasn’t quite sure in that department. “This will be good…” he whispered to himself as he checked off a spot on the paper before him before writing a ‘B’ at the very top with a percentage to follow.
