I didnt switch dorms .
My RA rolled her eyes when I told her , clearly annoyed by my indecisiveness .
Jason and I started dating .
He wanted us to do everything together go to < classes , study at the library , grab boba .
We kept it low key , though .
I was worried about what people would think .
The only time I dared show affection was while playing League .
As support , I stuck to Jason like glue , which he seemed to enjoy .
He hated it when I played Yuumi and attached to anyone else .
It was pure hypocrisy .
He used to say theres no room for love in esports .
Double standards , much ? … One evening , the four of us were having dinner in the dining hall .
I instinctively picked out the scallions and ginger from Jasons food .
He gently tilted my chin up and wiped a smudge off my lip with a napkin .
What are you , five ? he teased , his eyes sparkling .
I froze , my ears burning .
I wasnt used to him being so affectionate .
I looked up to find Liam and Mike staring at us , dumbfounded .
Mikes meatball slipped from his chopsticks , splashing back into his soup .
L Whoa , since when did you two get so … couple y ? Liam asked .
Recently , Jason replied with a wink , deliberately vague .
Roommates should look out for each other , right ? He nudged my knee under the table .
I quickly pulled my legs together , sitting up straight .
Mike waved a dismissive hand .
Nah , I almost thought you two were dating or something .
Famous last words .
I choked on my food .
Jason patted my back , whispering , Scaredy cat .
One afternoon , Jason claimed he needed help with a group project , insisting on sitting right next to me .
As I researched , I felt him leaning closer .
Find anything yet ? he murmured , his arm draped over my shoulder , his breath .
tickling my ear .
Not yet , hold on .
I stiffened , then felt his hand slide down to my waist .
Ethan , why wont you look at me ? I am , Im < just busy , I mumbled , trying to focus .
Look at me .
His voice was low and seductive .
I had a feeling I knew what was coming .
Nervous but excited , I turned to face him .
Our eyes met for a second before he leaned in .
Before his lips touched mine , I instinctively pushed him away , my face burning .
What ? You were pretty bold when you were pretending to be a girl .
Calling me oppa and everything .
Now I cant even touch you? Jason pouted , bringing up my past again .
I dont want anyone to see , I whispered , glancing at the door , paranoid that our roommates would walk in .
Relax , theyre playing basketball .
They wont be back for a while , he assured me .
Then … just one kiss .
He grinned , cupping my chin and leaning in .
It was our first kiss awkward , clumsy , and sweet .
It lasted a little longer than one kiss , though .
When we finally pulled away , we were < Lately , Jason had been restless .
He wanted to hold my hand during class , put his arm around me while walking anything to let the world know we were together .
I worried about judgment and how it might affect his studies , constantly persuading him to keep our relationship private .
One afternoon , he asked .
me to bring him water at the basketball court .
I arrived to find a girl handing him a bottle , her face flushed .
I watched the scene unfold , amused .
Suddenly , Jason turned and pointed at me .
The girls face fell , and she quickly walked away .
The other guys , whod probably overheard something , all looked at me .
My jaw dropped .
I turned to leave , but Jason caught up to me in a few strides .
Why are you running ? I havent even had my water yet .
He gulped down half the bottle , then , with everyone watching , took my hand and led me away .
I tried to pull away , but he く tightened his grip .
What ? Are you ashamed to be seen with me ? No , you know thats not what I meant .
He pulled me closer , preventing my escape .
Whats there to be afraid of ? Were not hurting anyone .

If people have a problem with it , thats their problem .
His confidence was reassuring .
With him by my side , I felt like I could handle anything .
He looked down at me , his eyes intense .
Youre making me want to kiss you .
Dont even think about it .
I quickly looked away , but I could hear his chuckle .
Lets get back to the dorm .
I cant hold back much longer .
Someone had taken a picture of us at the basketball court .
It ended up on the university forum and quickly became a hot topic .
Chloe sent me the link after class .
The comments were mixed .
I even saw posts from our roommates .
Liam : Whoa , woke up to find my roommates trending because theyre dating ? Mike : OMG , there were gay people among us this whole time ?! Student A : All the hot guys are taken ! Student B : Dude , theyre totally a couple ! Theyre even in the same department as me .
Im shipping them so hard ! Student C : Be careful what you wish for .
… scrolled through the comments , then saw Liams message in our dorm group chat .
Liam : You two were secretly dating and didnt even tell us ? Do you even consider us bros ? Mike : Seriously! So uncool .
You owe us dinner .
Liam : An expensive one ! Jason : Okay .
We went to a hot pot place near campus .
Liam and Mike ordered a mountain of meat .
Jason made me a dipping sauce , and it was delicious .
He kept piling food into my bowl , making sure I got the first bite of everything , and even ordered me a coconut milk tea .
Liam put on a dramatic expression .
Seriously , am I here for dinner or a free couples therapy session ? Mike , unfazed , just kept eating .
Whatever , free food ! Liam stared at us , then lowered his voice .
So , be honest .
How long has this been going on ? And have you two been doing … stuff in our dorm ? About a month , I mumbled , ignoring the second part of his question .
Mike wasnt letting it go .
So , youre telling me you havent been doing anything … inappropriate behind our backs ? Liam smirked .
Maybe theyre keeping it PG .
Ooh … they both chired .
I blushed , unsure if it was from the spicy food or embarrassment .
Are you two done ? Can you let us eat in peace ? Jason glared at them , changing the subject .
