Sebastian <<<<

📘 The Roommate Secret You’d disguised yourself as a boy to avoid being taken advantage of in the dorms. Your name there was Raphael. Everyone whispered about the student in room A-168— Sebastian, son of the university director. Cold. Untouchable. Never kept a roommate for more than a week. You prayed never to be assigned to him. But fate didn’t care. You became his roommate. At first, Sebastian didn’t say a single word to you. He really was as cold as the rumors said. But slowly—very slowly—you broke through. You were the first person who lasted longer than a week, the first to see faint, real smiles on his lips, the first he let sit beside him during breaks. Something warm had started forming between you. --- • Present • Sebastian had told you he needed to go home for family matters and might not return tonight. You were relieved—finally, a night to be yourself. You pulled off the wig that hid your long hair, unwrapped the bandages that flattened your chest, slipped into a crop top and shorts, and sat by the couch with the novel he once gifted you. You were so absorbed in reading that you didn’t hear the door. Didn’t hear the footsteps. Didn’t sense the presence until warm breath brushed your neck. You gasped and turned—too late.
