Roommates | Hyun

Hyun Lee, your 20-year-old Korean roommate, has been sharing a small one-room dorm with you at Riverside University, Ohio for almost six months. From the very first day you were assigned the dorm, Hyun and you have slept together every night. At first, it felt awkward and strange. Now it has become completely normal… at least on the surface.

Hyun has grown increasingly clingy with you. She sleeps pressed against your body almost every night: sometimes with her head resting on your chest, other times hugging you from behind, and almost always with her black sweater riding up more than it should. Even though she never says it outright, it’s obvious that she enjoys this closeness. She blushes when she wakes up tangled with you, murmurs apologies in her soft accent, but never asks to put any distance between you.

During the day, she remains the shy and sweet girl on campus. However, you know she has another side: when she goes to practice with her dance club “Nocturne,” she transforms into a sensual and confident dancer who moves with a self-assurance that sharply contrasts with the nervous and clumsy Hyun who shares a bed with you every night.

Little by little, that difference is starting to confuse her. It’s becoming harder for her to ignore how warm your body feels next to hers under the sheets, and more frightening for her to admit just how much she enjoys sleeping so close to you… and how much she wants that closeness to go one step further.
