[[This post is backdated to late July/early August]]
Wooram had been able to get settled into the new apartment fairly quickly, and in the few days since they'd moved in, he'd not seen a huge amount of his new roommate, both of them mostly getting what they had brought unpacked and taking the weekend to settle in. Wooram hadn't wanted to go to IKEA on the weekend, and he was pretty sure that Raein would have liked it even less than he did.
Wooram hadn't quite realized how much of the decoration that he'd brought along with him instead of what he'd left with his former roommate in Bellingham was Pride stuff: the progress flag that hung on his door, various queer and nerdy posters on his walls, the bedding that was flung across his futon on the floor in rainbow, and many many queer books. There was a fair amount of Kpop stuff as well, and a few art pieces, though many of those were subtly or not so subtly queer as well. He needed a desk and bookshelf though, and they needed a lot of furniture for the main room.
It was Monday now, so it seemed like a good enough day for IKEA, especially since there wouldn't be training days for the school district for at least a week yet for either of them.
He went out to the main room in search of Raein to see if his new roommate would be down for driving his truck down to the south end so that they could acquire inexpensive furniture and then spend the afternoon assembling it. He started making his morning tea as soon as he was out there though, figuring that they were in no real rush.

Raein was happy to finally have everything brought up and in his room. It was starting to come together, but he still needed to get actual furniture, and he hadn't been able to talk much with Wooram about when they should plan a trip to IKEA. The thought of going was still somewhat daunting to him. He noticed Wooram emerge from his room and smiled politely. "Hey, are you all done unpacking the stuff you brought?" He asked. He was taking a break to enjoy a drink he'd gotten from H Mart the other day, leaning against the wall in the living room. As he had seen Wooram, he got up and went to the edge of the kitchen.

Wooram smiled at Raein when he saw him out in the main room, relieved to not have to knock on his door and potentially disturb his rest. He said, "I am. What about you?"
He paused a moment and then added, "I'm wondering if you wanted to go down to IKEA today and get some furniture. I need some things for my room, and we definitely need some things for the main room. Since you've got a truck, we wouldn't even need to get them to deliver it."
He hoped that Raein would be down for the trip. He added, realizing that it might be relevant information, "Middle of the day on a Monday shouldn't be a super crowded time."

Raein hesitated, but also, a lot of his remaining things to put away needed a place to be put, and he needed furniture for that. After another minute of debate, he nodded, "Yeah, I've gotten to a standstill until I get some furniture anyway." He hoped Wooram was right about it probably not being too crowded. "As long as it's not the weekend crowd, I think it'll be okay."
