Maybe it was now safe to assume that the brunet male was a new neighbour of his, seeing as how it had been a week and, thus far, he always appeared in the elevator prior to Bomin, ask him which button he should press as if he didn't already know, and take furtive glances at the other as if the brunet wouldn't notice.
It had so been a week since Bomin had seen that stranger on the long metal doors, and for that he'd have to thank this wanna-be bad boy who always stood in the centre of the lift and left Bomin in the peripherals, without a view of his reflection.
Then again, for how long could he escape himself? Mirrors still reflected his eyes when they shattered, windows still reflected his form when they were sprayed over with black, and his friends insisted on taking photos together even when he said no. But truly, was that ever even him in those pictures? It was that stranger, wasn't it?
"What's your name?"
He startled, his arms folded over his chest fastened in grip as his sight flickered up and to the side-profile of the other.
Bomin hesitated, briefly letting his vision trail along the man until he strained a smile which made him internally grimace, wrinkled the edges of his eyes in a way he knew made them shine amicably, and unfolded his forearms to appear more open, almost as if expecting to shake hands.
"I'm Bomin," He replied, his baritone voice lilting with happiness.
The response attracted the shorter's attention, him eyeing the black-haired boy with a trace of a smile tweaking the edge of his lips upwards, a gleam of something which couldn't be pinpointed in his irises dulled by the dim lighting.
"Donghyun."
