Chapter 52: Dorm Assignments (3)
"I may not have a bed, but I need a place to store my things, so where can I put them?" Ari looked around at the occupants of the room.
As the room went silent with some of the other contestants looking away from him and snickering, Ari laughed sardonically before speaking coldly, "Let's try this again. I only have these two duffel bags and clearly don't have a bunk bed. Can I store my stuff underneath somebody's bunk bed, or should I go grab the cameraman and repeat the question in front of him and the PD?"
At the subtle threat, 8 faces shot him angry glares, and one face looked slightly embarrassed, but Ari didn't care.
It was bad enough that the production team was making a contestant sleep on the floor, but for his roommates to selfishly take up all the room without giving him a place to put his things was completely unacceptable.
He knew he shouldn't pick a fight with the people he was rooming with, but he was a bit irritated that Suzuki Rei had put him in this position in the first place.
Plus, he wasn't one to take bullying without fighting back.
Ari met each and every one of their eyes with a fierce look until finally, a boy with tan skin and jet black hair spoke up while smiling apologetically.
"Alright, let's stop messing with the new guy. You can put your stuff underneath my bed. I'm Vishal, by the way. Sorry about that."
"Thanks." Ari just slid his things underneath Vishal's bed and began spreading the sleeping bag on the ground in the suddenly chilly atmosphere.
Despite the room changes, he still planned on taking a nap.
At Ari's cold response that thanked one person and ignored the rest without even trying to be friends with them, the boys in the room began complaining.
