[AND THEN TIME PASSED how does he travel]

I am near.

[tastelast]

[ Literally was waiting outside the entire time just in case. ]

building c
youll see me by the front doors

[impresson]

[does this require a response. he is unsure on texting etiquette. better do it just in case]

I will see you soon then.

[robots who text and walk and respond as they come into sight A++]

[tastelast]

[ Daseul doesn't mind it as boy who loves to know all things. Thrilled to know all things.

He stands up as Inho approaches, offering a curt bow. ]

Good evening. Thank you for coming.

[impresson]

[he stares and nods, blinking once as he resumes his usual posture]

You seemed to have many questions.

[tastelast]

You interest me greatly.

[ No shame. He grabs one of Inho's hands, and drags him towards the main doors of his dorm. They're locked, of course, but his key grants them both entry. The guard sitting in the lobby doesn't even look up; Daseul isn't a student of the university, so enforcing student rules on him seems worthless of his time. ]

I live on the fourth floor.

[impresson]

[he has already learned that Daseul likes his hand, this is nothing new. and he does not mind. it feels nice.]

Do many reside here?

[tastelast]

In most buildings it's two students a room and sixteen rooms a floor.

[ The first three floors seem pretty standard as far as dorms go, as Daseul leads them up the stairs. They open off at the top of the stairs for direct and easy entrance. The fourth, on the other hand, seems to be locked behind glass doors. Again, Daseul's card gains them entry. ]

My floor is a little different from the others.

[impresson]

[he can accept and digest that information easily. it makes sense and, honestly, he can see it. it's right there. at least until Daseul's floor, and ...

ah, the untouchable power of money. Inho can string that together. it does surprise him still to see the sudden and drastic change, but there's no time to check it out when he is being tugged along]

Is it? Your floor.

[tastelast]

These floors are single-student rooms.

[ There's a LOT less of them, and there don't seem to be any communal bathrooms on this floor, unlike the others. It's a lot less moist compared to the air in the others.

He leads Inho to the end of the hall, to room 406, and types a number into the keypad by the door. The light above it turns green, and the lock on the door retracts. He releases Inho's hand, and gestures inside. ]

The other rooms are university students.

[ Then there's him, kindergartener. ]

[impresson]

The change is drastic.

[these are definitely nicer and more sophisticated. the change up between high school and university seems a little much... ]

You said you do not attend here.

[tastelast]

My parents bought the room because it's close to the hagwon I attend. My house is far from here, and they don't want me to waste my time travelling late at night.

[ The dorm room looks more like a studio. It's large and spacious, and furnished like a luxury suite. More than a dorm room, it looks like something better fitting for a hotel. Still, money can only buy so much; it has its own bathroom, but everything Daseul owns can still be seen from the entryway.

He closes the door behind them, and ushers Inho further inside. ]

The other rooms are occupied by students of this university.

[impresson]

[to waste time in travel? that's an odd way of putting it, coming from the one who is odd in general]

So they have their reasons. It does not seem to be a bother to you to stay here. Are you often in this dormitory?

[look... he has never been in a nice hotel, okay. he knows this is abnormal, but not to the full extent of the extravagance. Inho will keep going, though he is not positive if he is meant to sit or stand or what]

Yes... do they also take such care with security? I did not think places like this were in such need.

[tastelast]

[ He opts not to tell Inho what his schedule is really like. It makes him sound like he has no life.

Inho won't have to stand around feeling confused for long, because Daseul is quick to pull him right over to his bed, and gesture him to sit down. ]

Three nights a week, usually. Sometimes more.

[ This week is unusual, but it doesn't bother Daseul. ]

The students on this floor come from families with a lot of money. For the doors, my guess would be it's to stop regular students from feeling like they're disadvantaged.
