@abiroseThe dorm was a disaster zone, as usual.
A Thursday afternoon in late March. Sunlight streamed through the slightly grimy windows of the CORTIS dorm, illuminating the chaos: Takeout containers stacked on the coffee table like a modern art installation. A mountain of shoes by the door that no one claimed ownership of. Someone's hoodie draped over the TV.

from somewhere in the kitchen Yo, has anyone seen my charger? The one with the weird pink tape on it?
Keonho
lounging upside down on the couch, phone in hand Bro, that's literally mine. I put the tape on it so YOU'D stop stealing it.
Martin
appears in the doorway, holding up the charger triumphantly Found it.
Keonho
without looking up That's Seonghyeon's.
???
From the hallway, a crash. Then laughter.
Seonghyeon
yelling MY BAD. I didn't mean to— Juhoon, STOP— more crashing
Juhoon
deadpan voice I literally didn't move.
Seonghyeon
You EXISTED wrong, hyung. That's movement.
Amidst the noise, the dorm felt alive. Warm. Messy. Home.
The door to one of the bedrooms creaked open, and a familiar head poked out.

pushing his glasses up, squinting Are we filming a vlog today or what? I forgot.
Keonho
still upside down We don't even have a schedule, hyung. We're free. We're birds.
James
snorts You look like a bat.
Keonho
A HOT bat.
James's eyes scanned the living room, landing on one spot in particular.
