can i walk you home?

prologue

meet the members of sigma kappa zeta

as a freshman you quickly learn what groups on campus have a sort of reputation, whether good or bad. alpha gam's, for example, were known as the "bitchy sorority", quoted from your freshman year roommate, and you agreed after attending a few rush events your first year. anime club was full of weirdos, aka a bunch of white men fetishizing asian women. the dance team was actually pretty nice, remembering your name and being excited to see you at their performances.

the fraternities on campus probably had the most noticeable reputations by the way you knew what frat houses to avoid every friday and saturday night. betas are the stereotypical frat, trashing their own house and being pretty sleazy with the alcohol served at their "events". omegas technically weren't even a frat, just a bunch of gross guys living under one roof who took advantage of housing policy to host massively disruptive parties in the middle of the week. luckily your freshman dorm wasn't anywhere near their house but several friends had to deal with the consequences of your neighbors throwing the loudest party known to man on a tuesday night.

one house you knew was approachable on your first weekend on campus was the sigma kappa zeta house, with an alcohol monitor and music levels that wouldn't kill your hearing before the end of the night. sigma kappa were known as the nice frat on campus, although with the reputation of the other frats it seems like an easy title to gain. at the activities fair your first year you found out about their buddy system program that allows for you to call them, any time of day or night, to get an escort home, no questions asked. never did you think you would use the program until you were at the library a little later than planned one night and the walk back to your dorm seemed a little more intimidating in the dead of night. that ended up being the same night you met the current president of sigma kappa, bang chan, a very sweet and very handsome music composition and performance double major. you had felt the need to apologize for the wake up call when he showed up, immediately noticing his tousled bed head and the tossed on inside out t-shirt, but he only chuckled and told you to stop, saying he fell asleep working on a song at his desk anyway.

although only a junior at the time you could feel his passion for everything he was involved in as you talked on your walk to your dorm, finding out about his success on the swim team and his volunteer work teaching music to children at an afterschool program in town. most impressive was probably his dedication to the campus radio station, which he was already music director for and had a show of his own sunday mornings.

"it's called chan's room and i kind of just play whatever i'm feeling like and talk to whoever may be listening in. some people have told me it helps them study but i don't know," he told you, timidly rubbing the back of his neck. "if you ever have any song suggestions feel free to let me know, i like including what people want to listen to." 

you didn't use the buddy system program the rest of the year but you definitely tuned in to chan's room when you could wake up in time on sundays. you have to admit that he really sold it short, always enjoying his song picks and admiring the songs he made that he would sometimes preview for listeners.

throughout your first year you got to know more of the sigma kappa zeta members, mostly those that lived in the house and seemed to be involved in absolutely everything on campus. like han jisung, a triple major in music composition, music performance, and dance performance who was also a part of an actually funny improv comedy club on campus, a member of the dance team, and somehow also a soundcloud rapper who was actually good. your first year he was in your introductory courses for the dance program along with his so-called twin, lee felix. you had actually known felix from moving in as he had not only moved into the dorm hall next door but he helped you carry up your minifridge. you found out he was a dance performance major looking at becoming a music performance minor or possibly even double majoring. of course neither of them were sigma kappa members when you first met but the fact that they became members after really solidified your idea of sigma kappa zeta as the "nice" frat.

as a dance performance major yourself, you became involved in the dance team on campus as well as the college's dance company where you met lee know and hwang hyunjin, both choreography and dance performance double majors who seemed to end up running the entire student side of the dance program your sophmore year. lee know seemed to be a very serious person at first, being very focused in all practices, but once your rehearsals were finished for the hour he immediately joked with everyone, relentlessly teasing hyunjin who always still seemed a bit scared of his senior.

hyunjin was extremely sweet, always helping you with movements and offering constructive critiques you could actually apply. along with his talent in dance he was also an insanely talented studio artist as proved by his membership in both the photography and painting and drawing clubs. he had admitted to you over a quick lunch before practice that he was a studio art minor simply because he had already taken most of the required courses for fun.

overall, your first semester you met over half of the members of sigma kappa that would live in the frat house your sophmore year, meeting another two your second semester. seo changbin you got to meet through han, finding out about the music composition major that featured han on half of his soundcloud songs. similar to han, he was actually pretty good at rapping and you got to find out about his campus popularity when you told your roommate who you had gotten lunch with earlier that day.

seungmin was the last you met in your first year, finding out about the service dog training program that held puppy mondays in the residential quad to help students de-stress and just knowing you needed it during midterms. seungmin was extremely nice, as you had expected upon hearing he was a sigma kappa member, telling you all about the puppy he was training, a little golden retriever named daengmo who was still learning the difference between work and play time.

"yeah, i'm the treasurer-elect for sigma kappa and changbin is supposed to start training me to be the housing co-coordinator but from the fact he always forgets he's the housing coordinator it seems like no one really trained him," seungmin complains and you laugh in response. after you had told him about all the other sigma kappas you'd been lucky enough to meet in your first year he opened up to you even more, telling you about his music performance major and communications studies minor. "oh, i'm in charge of the sigma kappa instagram too. you should totally follow us, definitely not because we need followers or anything." you immediately followed them.

for the rest of the semester you tried to keep up with whatever sigma kappa was doing, attending almost every party and enjoying them all. by the end of your first year you knew all the members that would live in the sigma kappa zeta house your second year, well all except one. last minute, changkyun, the president of sigma kappa your freshman year and a member planning to stay for a fifth year to finish out his last minute double major dropped out of living in the sigma kappa house, leaving a space to be filled by a possible incoming freshman if they could snatch it before any of the upperclassmen members swooped in to take it.

9. odd east

⇀ wc 1.2k

⇀ warnings maybe angst if you squint, reader talks about how they smell, two dorks who are both so awkward and so dumb but one more so than the other

chan had told you to just wait in the lobby of the dance building, so that’s where you are now, scrolling on your phone with your dance bag thrown over your shoulder. you had texted the skz president to ask which one of the guys was picking you up but you assume he had gotten distracted by his latest project as he had failed to text you back. chan had been the only one to take you back to your dorm previously but you couldn’t think of a member of skz that would be a bad choice in this situation.

you’re getting ready to text chan again to find out where your “buddy” is when the front door to the building opens and you look up to find none other than yang jeongin. you’re about to ask how he could get in, the building doors lock after 6pm except for majors or students in current dance courses, but he beats you to it once he spots you.

"i'm in the intro to movement course," he supplies nervously, gesturing to the doors behind him and you realize you must have worn your confusion on your face. he clears his throat as he glances down to your feet quickly, avoiding your gaze.

this is kind of how the boy had been for the past few weeks as you'd both grown from simply classmates to study buddies, rarely making eye contact and almost never staying still, always fidgeting just slightly whenever you'd initiate conversation or glance his way. similarly now he stands several feet in front of you with hands clasped and shoulders hunched slightly, fingers playing with the rings he always wore as he waits for you to, you assume, respond.

instead you simply nod, clearing your own throat gently before gesturing toward the doors jeongin had just entered. "are you," you trail off with a light shake of your head in a mix of confusion and question.

"right! yes," he scrambles to answer, head suddenly shooting up to look at you before he steps to the side and stretches his arm toward the doors. "can i walk you home?" he asks seeming almost nervous you'll say no even though you were the one to request the service.

"yes please," you answer with a slight chuckle and sharp nod of your head before taking the few steps to the doors and he shuffles along behind you.

once you're outside the building, jeongin takes one large step to his right, placing a few feet of distance between the two of you and you're suddenly hyperaware of the fact that you probably smell like a mix of the fading body spray you'd applied earlier today, several hours worth of sweat, and the ultra specific scent of the dance studio, a room that sports its own mix of not entirely unpleasant but strange odors. you wouldn't blame anyone for the way they might want to keep a bit of a distance but for some reason this is the only time you've felt this conscious about it, recalling all the times you'd been around lia or taehyun in similar states. you decide to simply blame it on the fact that jeongin is still a relatively new friend, if you would even really consider him that. you've only ever seen each other on days you weren't going to be in the studio or before you went, this was the first time you'd interacted after you'd been working on a series of combinations for hours on end.

"so where do you live?" jeongin speaks up, drawing you from your thoughts, and you realize you've both just been standing awkwardly in front of the dance building for a few seconds while he waited for you to point him in the proper direction.

“oh, i live in odd east this year,” you supply ticking your head lightly in the general direction of the usual path you take from the dance building to your dorm.

“that’s the green one right?” your buddy asks and you’re reminded that he’s a freshman, still learning about campus considering you’re only just over a month into his first semester.

you just nod in response, a silent chuckle leaving you as you both take the first steps along the sidewalk.

jeongin manages to keep the distance he’d set between you and several times throughout your silent stroll you catch yourself with an apology on the tip of your tongue. you’ve never felt the need to apologize for the way you’ve looked, or smelled for that matter, before this moment. maybe it’s the way jeongin is so obvious with his avoidance but as you think about it, he’s not acting all too dissimilar from how he has when you’ve gotten together before. maybe it has something to do with the privacy of this interaction, most students asleep or studying in their dorms, as opposed to all the times you’ve met in more populated spaces, the chaotic skz house, a busy coffee shop, or a packed library, that is making you hyper aware of jeongin’s behavior.

as you brainstorm about his behavior, jeongin is trying his best to avoid tripping over his own feet as he thinks about how pretty you look right now. something about how you look so relaxed and natural like this, in your more casual dance clothes and messy hair, has him feeling almost the same way he had when he saw you wearing his clothes at the skz party a few weeks ago. some uneven mix of excitement and nervousness that he’d felt brewing in him at the party, but now it feels as though it may tear him apart at the seams.

every few steps he glances over at you, partly to make sure you’re okay but mostly, to see if you’ve noticed the way he’s distanced himself from you, only to observe the determined, if not slightly frustrated, expression you sport. he’s seen you wear the same look several times in class or during study sessions and so simply chalks it up to you focusing on whatever you must have been working on in the studio before he picked you up. he’s tempted to reach out to you and brush away the hair that had escaped from behind your ear as you walked but he resists, stuffing both of his hands into his pockets rather forcefully and turning back to face the direction he’s headed.

his slightly sudden and abrupt movement catches your eye briefly, snapping you out of your own thoughts before you bring your focus to the path in front of you, counting the pavements as you go to keep your thoughts occupied.

you each had felt that your recent interactions outside of class had significantly decreased the awkwardness between you two, especially after the way jeongin had acted at the party, but with every step you took toward your dorm you could both feel the tension climbing. by the time you reached the front door of your dorm building it was obvious by either of your body language that it felt like you’d regressed back to that point right before jeongin had offered you his coffee.

“uh, thanks,” you say, clearing your throat as you reach for your key card to let yourself into the building.

jeongin nods, once again staring intently at your shoes, and you sort of wonder if they need to be cleaned, before he lets out a pathetic, “of course.”

“see you in class.”

and with that you’re closing the door behind you, making the trek toward your dorm, where lia is sure to scold you for coming back so late, and jeongin is left standing in the thick tension of the night that he can only blame himself for building.
