Chapter one:

Word count: 1k

It’s the start of a new school year and your senior year at that. You should be happy, you should be excited for your senior year, you should be anxiously texting your best friend to see if you guys ended up in the same class. But you’re not. It’s the first day at your new school so you have no friends nor are you particularly interested in going out of your way to find any. You walk into your new classroom and sit in the very back next to the window. You enjoyed sensory and you felt comfortable in that spot seeing as that’s where you sat at your last school. The classroom is loud, it seems like everyone already knows each other. It makes sense seeing as you moved to a smaller town and there aren’t many people to begin with. As soon as the teacher walked in everyone rushed off to their seats and the classroom immediately got quiet.

“If you guys don’t already know me, my name is Mr.Johnson and I’ll be your home room teacher this year.” “Before I give a full introduction of myself I’m aware everyone already knows each other but I’d like to introduce a new student to our school this year.” His eyes shot straight at me and my heart sank “go ahead and introduce yourself right quick.” He says with a smile on his face. I stand up clutching my fists and praying I don’t stutter.

“Hi my name is Yoona I moved here from Seoul and I’m 18.” I said with my eyes staring at the ground. I knew if I were to look up and see all the eyes staring back at me I would get anxious and freak out. Once I was done with my introduction I looked up at my teacher as if I was asking permission to sit back down.

“Thank you Yoona. I hope you all can help Yoona if needed and get along with her.” He says while turning around to the big white board behind him to write down instructions before class.

You decided to get a part time job because although you don’t need it money isn’t an issue for you at all but you live alone. You knew if you were to stay in the empty apartment by yourself for more than 5 hours you’d go crazy. You should be used to being alone by now seeing as you’ve lived like that for years now but you still hated it. So you got a job, anything to keep you away from the empty apartment for as long as possible.

You find a job as a cashier for a convenience store not too far from your apartment complex. Your first day started tomorrow so you went home to unpack. You got home, set up some essentials like shampoo and conditioner in your bathroom, set your toothbrush at the bathroom sink and went to the kitchen to make a quick dinner. Just some instant noodles and a bottle of water you got at the convenience store before you left. You went to bed right after dinner. You’ve been having the same recurring nightmare for a while now. You’d be running down a long dark road surrounded by trees. You never knew who or what was chasing you but you knew you had to get away. You never turned back, you kept running facing forward the entire dream. All of a sudden you feel a hand reaching for your shoulder but before you could ever see what was chasing you you’d always wake up. This dream would always end the same way but each time without fail it’d scare the shit out of you. You woke up once again in a cold sweat. You got up, took a shower, put on your school uniform, grabbed your school bag and headed out. You walked into class and it seemed you were earlier than you thought. You took your seat and stared out the window waiting for class to start. At some point you ended up dozing off, you haven’t had a good nights rest in a while but you were managing your slight insomnia fine. Dozing off in public wasn’t something you’ve ever done before but with the sun hitting your face just right you couldn’t help but to close your eyes just a little. As you lean on your hand you could feel as your arm begins to collapse and your head starts to fall towards the window. Your head should’ve hit the window but you feel a hand swoop in to catch you from behind. You looked back to see whose hand your head was now resting on.

“Hello?” You say confused as to why he didn’t just let your head hit the window

“Oh hey, your name is Yoona right?” He says snatching back his hand and acting as if nothing happened

“Uh yeah.” You reply

“Cool, my name is Beomgyu it’s nice to meet you.” He said with an awkward smile

“Likewise” you said still confused as to why he felt the need to confront you

As the day went on lunch soon rolled around. You hated how crowded the cafeteria was and you got way too into your head thinking that once you stepped foot into the cafeteria there would soon be all eyes on you. So to avoid the situation entirely you searched around school looking for a quiet spot to sit. You eventually found yourself at the school’s rooftop. It was quiet and completely vacant. You decided to make it your daily routine to eat lunch on the rooftop. You had some leftover bread and milk that you never ate yesterday so you had that for lunch. The school day ended quicker than you thought. As soon as the last bell rang you packed your things as fast as you could and hurried to your new job. You got to work changed into the uniform which was just a simple vest you threw over your school uniform and headed to the cash register. You had already been trained yesterday so you had a pretty good idea of what you were doing. You decided to catch up on some homework while you waited for someone to enter the store. An hour passes and you’ve had a few customers. Everything was going smooth, the job wasn’t difficult but it definitely kept you occupied. You hear the doors open but this time accompanied by laughter.

“Yo did you see that video I sent you on tiktok?” “Go watch it I swear it’ll never not be funny!!” One of them says laughing so hard you see his eyes start to water. You thought one of them looked familiar but you paid no mind and continued to do your job. They looked around the store for a minute trying to find snacks to eat.

“Hey Yoona!” One of them says with a big smile as if we’ve known each other for years.

“Oh uh hey…” you say spacing out trying to remember his name

“Beomgyu!” He said, interrupting you. “I didn’t know you worked here.”

“Yeah I just started, today’s my first day on the job.” You replied

“Oh Yoona, this is my best friend Soobin.” He says pointing to the dude next to him. As soon as you saw his friend's face you felt your heart drop to your stomach. You got this weird feeling, and you felt overly nervous. You’ve never had a crush before but you do remember your best friend having one in middle school. She would describe in full detail how her crush made her feel. So you knew what this feeling was.

“Hey I’m soobin, I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Do you go to our school?” He asked

“Yeah I do, I just transferred.” You answered

“Yo she’s literally in our class you’d be aware of that if you ever actually showed up to school.” Beomgyu says with a slight laugh

“I’m busy most of the time, leave me alone.” Soobin says to get beomgyu off his back. You guys hear the door open again and you have to get back to work.

“Well we’ll let you get back to work, I’ll see you tomorrow in class bye Yoona!” Beomgyu says walking away and waving goodbye

“See ya Yoona” Soobin says while following Beomgyu out the door

After work you walked home thinking of your new crush.

“I hope he’s at school tomorrow. I heard he barely shows up.” “I wonder why he doesn’t show up to school.�� You thought to yourself.

He looked like a prince, like someone you could only imagine in your dreams. Thinking back on his shiny black hair, bright inviting eyes and big smile. You could stare at him for hours if given the chance. You wanted to get to know him more but you barely even know Beomgyu so you decided to leave the thought of you and Soobin together at just that, a thought. You cleared your mind of the idea and proceeded to head home.

Character backgrounds:

Yoona: Your mom died a long time ago and your dad hates you for it. He constantly reminds you how it was your fault his wife died. That you killed her. So to avoid you he drowns himself in work and his new family. He sends money to your bank account every week, that’s the only contact you have with him. Your mom suffered from postpartum depression and it got to a point where she couldn’t take it anymore and took her own life. Your dad who was honestly in love with her immediately blamed you for her death. He wanted to move on completely and forget about his life with her. That also meant abandoning you. You were raised by many people, Nannie’s, baby sitters, everyone except your father. He’d come around occasionally to pay the Nannie’s. Every time you’d get so excited to see him but that excitement was always shut down immediately seeing as he’d never fail to remind you of your sins. Once you got a little older and started middle school you’d finally made your first friend, Naomi. You guys immediately became best friends. The both of you were incredible, you went everywhere together. When someone saw Naomi they saw you right next to her and Vice versa. You guys even started high school together. But once junior year started you noticed Naomi was slowly distancing herself. She seemed less talkative, and every time you’d ask her if she wanted to hang out she’d give some excuse that never sat right with you. You guys eventually grew apart. And even though you and Naomi were in the same class it seemed as if you guys were complete strangers now. One day Naomi didn’t show up to school. At first you didn’t think anything of it until she didn’t show up for the rest of the week. You knew something was wrong she’d never just skip a whole week of school. You called her phone again and again, but no answer. You hoped by Monday she’d show up, you thought maybe she was just going through something.You wished you were there to help but you’d definitely talk to her at school about it. Monday soon rolled around. The classroom is as loud as ever. It honestly felt like a normal day. The teacher walked in the class and everyone immediately sat down. And as you’re frantically looking around the classroom from your seat trying to look for Naomi you hear your teacher say

“There’s no easy way for me to say this to you guys.” He said choking on his own words “your classmate Naomi has been found deceased early this morning.”

It felt like the world had frozen, you couldn’t hear anything anymore, you could barely breathe anymore. Months past and you still feel numb. They say that before someone kills themselves they show signs of suicide. People kept asking you if you saw those signs, that question always made you feel worse. It made you feel guilty. It felt like they were telling you Naomi’s death was your fault, that because you didn’t catch the signs, that because you didn’t notice her cry for help, that because you didn’t save her from herself, you killed her. You felt as if you murdered Naomi with your own hands. After junior year you decided to transfer schools. Every inch of that school, of that city had too many memories of Naomi that hurt you too much. Everywhere you went she was haunting you. So you left, your dad of course never cared where you were so it didn’t matter anyway. You moved to a smaller town somewhere in the countryside. Moved into your new apartment, and got a job to keep you busy.

Soobin: Soobin’s family has always been struggling financially. His only family was his mother. His mom was madly in love with his dad and once he left after finding out she was pregnant she didn’t want to be with anyone else. He held on to the thought he would eventually come back. He never did. Growing up his mom worked 3 jobs trying to support the two of them. Sometimes she couldn’t afford meals for the both of them so she would skip meals just to make sure her son would eat. Soobin always had a great relationship with his mom. She adored him, he was her pride and joy. He was her only shot out of poverty so she pushed him harder and harder to get better grades. Soobin worked his ass off not only at school but outside of school as well. He never told anyone but he had multiple side jobs some were questionable, not illegal but damn near. Although he didn’t show up at school very often he was at the top of his class and he made damn sure of that. He wanted to reassure his mother that he would get them out of the hellish life they were living in. He will get a good job and earn money so he could provide for himself and his mother. He didn’t want his mom to work herself to death anymore.

Beomgyu: Beomgyu was born into a majorly rich family. His dad is the CEO of an entertainment company, his mom is a very famous lawyer and his older brother is the director of a hospital. Beomgyu didn’t feel he fit in with his family. He wasn’t particularly talented at anything, he wasn’t overly smart, and he got average grades. He felt like an outsider in his own home. His brother was 10 years older than him and they never got along. In fact his brother didn’t like him. Beomgyu was an illegitimate child and for that his brother looked down on him. Beomgyus' mom had an affair with one of her coworkers. As furious as the dad was he covered it up and made sure word didn’t get out about the affair. He knew if people were to find out his reputation as CEO would perish. So I decided to move to a smaller city. There Beomgyu was born. Growing up Beomgyu was always desperate for attention, Beomgyu would do anything if that meant he would have a friend. Fake or not. Many kids knew who Beomgyu’s father was, his face was everywhere it was impossible to escape him. Kids tend to flock towards him in hops to befriend the rich kid. Anytime the other kids would ask Beomgyu for something he’d give it up in a heartbeat. Anything to keep the friendship. One day while walking home from school another kid came up to him, he was from a different class. He didn't know him but he thought it would be fun to meet kids from different classes.

“Hey what’s your name?” Beomgyu said with a big smile

“Doesn’t matter, I just wanted to tell you to stop” said the kid

“Stop what? What did I do?” beomgyu said completely confused

“I mean stop sucking up to those asswholes.” Said the kid

“Oh, are you talking about my friends? Yeah I know there asswholes but it’s fine.” Beomgyu said still smiling

“Stop calling them your friends, you know they’re only sticking around for your money so why don’t you drop them. To tell the truth it’s pissing me off.” Said the kid rolling his eyes

“Well to tell the truth it’s none of your business. It's my choice who I’d like to be friends with or not. I am fully aware of their motives but I also don’t care.” Beomgyu said storming off

“At some point you’re going to get tired of it. And once you do, don't come crying to me because I’m just gonna say I told you so.” The kid yelled loud enough for Beomgyu to hear

Beomgyu didn’t think anything of that interaction. The next day he came to school but that day felt different. What that kid from the other day said kept replaying in his head. He sat down at his desk trying to get over it. The same kids like Beomgyu called “friends” came up to him once again asking for money, snacks, or whatever else they felt the need to ask him for at the moment. Beomgyu said sure and reached for his wallet. He always kept his wallet in his back pocket but today it wasn’t there. He frantically looked around for it, searching his bag, his desk and anywhere else it could possibly be.

“You don’t have your wallet on you?” Said one kid with an annoyed tone

“No I don’t think I do, I must've forgotten it at home.” Beomgyu said while staring at the ground.

“But it’s fine guys, I'll make sure I have it tomorrow.” He said to the kid

“Whatever dude, just make sure you have it tomorrow.” The kid said walking away with the other students

That day no one talked to Beomgyu. Because he didn’t have his money, the one thing that everyone liked about him, no one was willing to talk to him. This was the first time in a while that Beomgyu not only felt alone but was truly alone. Everyone went out for recess and Beomgyu sat alone on the bench staring at his hand praying the day would go by faster.

“Hey I told you they only liked you for your money.” Said a voice

Beomgyu looked up from his hands and realized it was the same kid from the other day. Once he saw his face he immediately got frustrated.

“I don’t need a ‘I told you so’ monologue right now leave me alone” Beomgyu said frustrated

“You don’t even know what I was about to say, why are you so mad already?” Said the kid

“Fine, what were you going to say?” Said Beomgyu rolling his eyes at the kid

“I was going to say ‘Hey my name is Soobin’” said Soobin reaching out his hand waiting for Beomgyu to shake it

“Why would I care what your name is? Beomgyu said storming off

“Well I just thought because you don’t have any friends today I could be your friend.” Soobin said following Beomgyu

“I’m good, leave me alone. You’re just trying to play hero so you can take my money like the other kids.” Said Beomgyu

“No I don’t want your money dude I just hate seeing someone get walked all over just because they’re desperate for a friend. Not going to lie, it's pathetic.” Said Soobin still following Beomgyu

Beomgyu stopped in his tracks and turned around sharply. “If you find me so pathetic why do you wanna be my friend?” He said staring Intensely into Soobin’s eyes

“Because you seem cool.” Soobin said with a smile

“What? That’s the only reason? Are you serious?” Beomgyu said cracking a smile

“Yeah, what other reason would I have? If I see someone that I think is cool, why wouldn’t I want to be friends with them? I mean it seems like a valid reason to me.” Soobin said

“Whatever dude be my friend if you want to I’m not stopping you” Beomgyu said still smiling

From then on the two were attached at the hip. Soobin never left Beomgyu's side. Beomgyu finally had a real friendship.

SUMMARY: You end up being accepted to a study abroad program in South Korea and you meet a group of friends that ends up making your time abroad a little more interesting.

“Y/n Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to join a study abroad program in South Korea.”

You’ve finally been accepted to study abroad after months of waiting. You’ve always wanted to try living in a new country away from home. You pack all your clothes and precious belongings while blasting “Bad Vibes Lonely” by DEAN, one of your all time favorite songs. You're so excited to be in a new area, a completely different experience from your own. 

The day finally comes and you board the plane. It’s a long and tiring flight. The more excited you got just thinking about being in South Korea the more the flight seemed to get longer and longer. You’ve been on this flight for what felt like years. Once you finally land to get off the plane you wait outside the airport for a taxi. A taxi pulls up right next to you and you hop in. You tell the driver the address of your new college. After a 30 minute ride the driver pulls up right in front of the college campus. It’s huge! The campus seemed a lot bigger than what was shown in the online brochure. A big sign outside of the main building “Welcome to the University of Seoul!” you read in big bolded letters. You couldn’t believe you were actually here, the Universe of Seoul. You look around trying to find the women’s dorm rooms. While looking for the dorms you trip and fall to the ground. You hear a slight chuckle behind you. 

“Are you okay?” you hear. 

“Yeah I’m fine, but I heard you laugh at me.” you say with a slight attitude. 

A smile still on his face he says, “You seem lost, where are you tryna go?” 

“I’m trying to find the women’s dorms but this campus is so huge I can’t seem to find anything,” you say looking around in complete awe of how truly big the campus was it seemed like a whole new world. 

“Well before I show you around a little let me introduce myself, I’m Jeonghan. It's nice to meet you.” Jeonghan says with a grin on his face, probably still laughing about how stupid you looked when you fell. He walks you to the front entrance of the women’s dorms and you thank him and walk in. You find your new room and start unpacking. You hear someone open the door and walk in behind you.

“Hey y/n!” your friend, Joy, says with a smile.

“Hi Joy, I missed you,” You replied with a friendly smile. You both talk for a little bit about your flights and getting to the university. After the talk you decided to take a break from unpacking your things and go out for a walk. You wanted to look around and explore the campus a bit. It would be hard to get used to so you wanted to get a head start. You head out to the courtyard, the center of the campus. From a distance you see a small coffee shop. 

“That café seems cute and I wouldn’t mind an iced latte right now.” you walk in and the aroma of coffee immediately hits you. As soon as you walk up and order your drink a line starts to form behind you.

“Hi, may I get a small iced vanilla latte to go please.” as you’re in the middle of your order you realize you don’t have your wallet. The cashier tells you your total but you have no way of paying. You frantically pat yourself down looking for loose cash or a card or any form of payment. The line behind you is getting longer and you start to feel more and more embarrassed. Someone walks up and stands right next to you.

“I’d like to pay for her drink please.” the guy says with an almost frustrated expression.

“Will that be all for you today sir?” says the cashier.

“No, I’d like to order an iced americano as well please.”

“Can I get a name for your order?”

“Seungkwan.” he says, pulling out his wallet to pay for both drinks.

“Thank you so much I thought I had my wallet on me before leaving. I guess I was so excited to explore my new surroundings I completely forgot to grab it.” You say in embarrassment.

“You know you have to pay me back right?” he says with a serious look on his face.

“Of course! How much was it? I can go back to my dorm and get my wallet right now.”

“Nah it’s good, just take me out for food later today and all is forgiven.” you agree and exchange contact information to plan for tomorrow. You head back to your dorm and finish unpacking. The next day you head to your first class. You walk in and sit down in a random seat. You start scrolling on your phone while waiting for the professor to show up. You look up and see two people sitting beside you. You overhear them talking about one of your favorite artists.

“Are you guys talking about GSoul?” you say with an excited look on your face.

“Yeah you know GSoul?” one of them says.

“Yes! He’s one of my favorite artists. I love his voice! My favorite song is Circles. I've been having it on repeat for the past week now!”

“Broo my favorite is Can’t!” says the other one.You guys start talking on and on recommending each other new music and showing each person’s playlists. After class you invite them out to eat because it seemed like you’d finally found some people to be friends with.

“Are you guys free later?” you ask hopefully.

“Nah sorry we have something to get to but we’ll definitely talk tomorrow.” one of them says reminding you that you also have plans later that day.

“Okay, I’ll see you guys tomorrow!” you say walking off realizing you never caught their names you guys have been talking non stop before the lecture neither one got the chance to introduce themselves. 

“I’ll ask for their names tomorrow.”  you think while heading to your next class.

Later that day you get ready to go meet Seungkwan at the restaurant he had texted you about earlier. You take a last good look around your dorm room before leaving making sure you didn’t forget your wallet this time. You type in the address into your phone and realize it’s a short distance from your dorm building and decide to walk there instead of spending money on a taxi. You arrive at the restaurant and walk in. It’s a Korean barbecue spot, you’ve never had Korean barbecue before so you're excited. The smell of meat grilling and the loud sounds from the restaurant makes you even more excited. You head in and see Seungkwan straight ahead, but he looks to be sitting with a large group of people. You walk in, seeing everyone in clear view, it seems to be around maybe 12 other people.

“Hey it’s y/n!!!” Seungkwan shouts, slurring his words a little. It seems he’s already been drinking.

“Hey I thought I was only paying for you? What’s all this, you know I can’t afford all of that right?” You say with a concerned expression.

“Of course you're not paying for everyone, just my meal, I’ll pay for my own drinks though.”

“Okay cool,” you say, taking your seat. As you sit down you recognize some familiar faces.

“Hey you guys are from my class right?” You say with a smile, glad to be seeing someone familiar so you won’t be sitting alone awkwardly because you didn’t know anyone else at the table. 

“Oh yeah hey! We didn’t get a chance to formally introduce ourselves earlier did we?” One of them says, “I'm Vernon, nice to officially meet you!”

“And I'm Dino!”

“Nice to meet you guys I’m y/n”

Around ten minutes past and you're getting comfortable with the group. But the more comfortable you feel the more you drink. Bottle after bottle at this point you're inhaling liquor. You’ve never had soju before so you don’t really know your limits. You start to feel really hot so you decide to get some fresh air.

“Hey Seungkwan, I think I’m going to head out.” You say slurring your words and stumbling. Seungkwan was occupied talking to the rest of the group and a little tipsy at that.

“Oh okay yeah sure get home safe.” He says as you turn away and start walking toward the cashier to pay for your food and Seungkwans. As you step outside the restaurant a cool breeze hits you. You’ve been In the restaurant for a few hours now so the wind feels refreshing.

Walking on the sidewalk, cars flying past you on the road it felt like you were dreaming. Suddenly you hear footsteps behind you, you didn’t think much of it seeing as you had walked past a few people already. Maybe one of them turned around or something. But just in case you decide to speed up a little. The liquor in your system had you thinking about the worst possible situations. You speed up a little more, but so do the footsteps.

 “They aren’t going away anytime soon. At this point they’ll follow me all the way back to my dorm.”

You stop in the middle of the sidewalk, the sound of footsteps pauses. You can feel someone standing right behind you. As fast as possible you turn around to land a hit on them so you have a chance to run and call for help. But as soon as you turned around and realized who was behind you but it was too late you had already hit him. As he falls to the ground you hear the sound of glass shattering. 

“Oh my god are you okay?” You say panicked.

“I’m fine, but you broke my glasses.”

“I’m so sorry I thought you were a stalker or something I don’t know I just got freaked out.” You say trying to convince him that you truly didn’t do it on purpose. 

 “You're from the dinner though right? You look familiar or maybe I'm just drunk.”

 “Yeah I am, I decided to head home too but I saw also walking out.I just wanted to make sure you got back safe.” He says as you help him off the ground.

  “You seemed like you drank a little over your limit. I’m sorry I scared you though that wasn’t my intention.” You guide him onto a bench as best as your drunk mind can. 

“Again I’m so sorry for hitting you. I really thought you were a kidnapper or something.” “and I broke your glasses. How much were they? I'll pay for it.”  You say frankly searching your pockets and your purse any money you could find to make up for breaking his glasses. 

“It’s fine I promise I have multiple pairs of glasses at home that won’t be missed.” He says laughing it off 

“Can I at least get your name so I know who to apologize to.” You say laughing back 

“My name's Wonwoo.” He says while putting his hand out asking for a head shake 

“I’m y/n, I’m so sorry for hitting you and breaking your glasses Wonwoo.” You say lifting your hand to meet his 

“Let me walk you home and all is forgiven.” He says smiling at you 

He walks you all the way back to your dorm making sure you get in your room safe seeing as you were still stumbling a little. As you guys are walking up to the door of your room you trip and he catches you. In the same moment your room mate joy walks out. 

“y/n who’s he?” She says with a grin on her face.

“Shut up and get inside” you say, shoving her back in the room and swiftly turning around to wave Wonwoo goodbye.

“Who was he~” she says, teasing you.

“Just some dude I met after dinner wanted to walk me home. I drank a little too much.” You said rolling your eyes and getting undressed.

“Oh he was cute, maybe there could be something there?” She says teasing you again.

“No I don't, although I did think he was cute.” You say jumping into bed.

“Oh? Tell me more!” She says with a big smile.

“No, I'm tired, go to sleep.” You say while turning off the lights.

The next morning you had class as normal. You say hey to Dino and Vernon and you guys talked about the same old same old. GSoul, DEAN, Giveon, and a whole bunch of different artists. After class ends and you're walking out with Vernon and Dino the professor calls you back.

“I wanted to talk to you about the most recent project assignment.” “It seems you didn’t fully understand the question I was asking. Go back, reread it and turn it back to me. I won’t deduct any points if you fix it.” He says with a straight face. He's a nice teacher  and one of your favorite professors. He just never seems to smile for some reason. 

You agree to fix the assignment and head to your next class. Later that day you see Seungkwan on your way to the library. 

“Hey y/n let me talk to you for a minute.” he says pulling you aside

“There’s someone from the dinner that I want to properly introduce you to. He says interested in you. I can’t set you guys up if you want.” he says pulling out his phone ready to give you the guys phone number 

“There was someone that i was looking at during the dinner he walked me home too, i wanted to try going on a date with him” you say thinking about Wonwoo 

“Oh really? He took you home? I don't remember him leaving early but maybe i got too drunk to remember” he said confused 

“Give me his number, I have to go work on a project before the library closes.” you say pulling out your phone in a hurry 

You get to work on trying to fix the assignment but it seems you really don’t understand how to answer the question. 

“Hey you were at the dinner right?” You hear coming from behind you.

“Did you get home alright you seemed hella drunk.” He laughs at you a little. 

“Yeah I got home fine” you say giggling.

“Is that the project from Mr. Martin's class?” He says pointing at your work.

“Yeah it is, I don't understand what it’s asking me at all.” You say in frustration.

“Let me help you, I’m Mingyu by the way.” 

You were finally able to finish your work thanks to Mingyu. As you guys are leaving the library a conversation sparks up. You guys start teasing each other back and forth. 

“His class is so easy bro maybe you're just a little slow.” He says laughing.

“Bro shut up and leave me alone. I promise it's getting harder for no reason.” You said jokingly.

 You and Mingyu laugh a little more talking about random topics. You guys eventually head your separate ways. You thanked him one last time before heading back to your dorm room. Once you get back to your dorm you remember the phone number that Seungkwan gave you and you decide to text it.

You remember you forgot to ask Seungkwan who’s number it was, but you think who else’s number could it be? You were only with one other guy the rest of the night. Wonwoo, the one who was kind enough to take you home and forgive you for breaking his glasses. So of course you wanted to go out with him.

The weekend came faster than you expected. It's Friday night when you get another text from the number. 

Saturday, 4 p.m you start getting dressed to meet him. Nothing fancy, just a nice shirt and some jeans, you didn't feel like doing a full face of makeup so you just put on some mascara and called it a day. You finish getting dressed early with 30 minutes to spear. You decided to go to the coffee shop early so you could get a drink while you wait on him. You walk into the coffee shop and see someone familiar. 

“Oh Mingyu? Hey! What are you doing here? Are you waiting on somebody or something?” 

“Yeah, I was waiting for you.” he said with a confused face 

“Wait what? I have plans with someone though.” you say as Mingyu reaches for his phone then pulls up the messages between who you thought was you and Wonwoo 

“Seungkwan gave me your number?” you say 

“Yeah i assumed you knew it was me that’s why i didn’t say anything” he says laughing it off 

“Well i guess it doesn't matter at this point” you think to yourself 

“If you're ready we can go now, i wanted to check out this arcade not too far from the campus. We can just walk there if you're up to it.” Mingyu says 

Thankfully you didn't wear anything special and the weather was really nice so you thought a walk would be nice. The walk from the coffee shop to the arcade really wasn’t bad. The weather was cool, not too cold, not too hot and not humid at all. It was honestly perfect, and you and Mingyu joked with each other the whole way so the walk felt even shorter. Once you guys got to the arcade it seemed to be empty, almost closed? There was no closed sign on the door though so you guys walked in. There was an employee at the front desk before entering the room with all the games. He told you guys where to put your money for game coins and you guys set off looking around the arcade for a fun game to start off with. 

“I bet I'll whoop your ass at air hockey.” You say to Mingyu taunting him 

“Big talk for real, let's see if you can actually beat my ass though.” He says with a smile on his face. The smile almost made you blush a little. He was starting to look more and more attractive to you. You guys played for hours, from air hockey(you won the game multiple times), to those basketball shooting games, to motorcycle racing games, to even an old pacman machine the arcade had in the back of the room. After a few hours you realized how hungry you had gotten, and it was getting late. You tried looking at the time but your phone wouldn't turn on somehow it had died. “I knew i should've charged it before i left” you think to yourself 

“Mingyu, what time is it? My phone died.” you ask putting your phone back in your back pocket 

“Oh it's…” he says taking out his phone  “Wow it's already 8:30, are you hungry at all? We can leave and go to this street market around the corner I heard about.” said Mingyu 

Just imagining all the street food made your mouth water. You’ve never had Korean street food before so you were very excited. 

  “That sounds really good! I'm ready to go now to be honest” you said 

“Alright, bet go.” Said mingyu  

Getting closer and closer to the street market you could smell all the delicious food. It felt like you were getting hungrier and hungrier by the second. You wanted to try everything that was there. You spotted an older lady selling tteokbokki and you immediately started walking towards her.You and Mingyu said hello to the owner and ordered. 

“Are you guys on a date?” says the lady as she's preparing our order 

“Yes we are.” Mingyu says with a slight chuckle

As the lady hands you guys the food she says “i hope you guys have a good rest of your date.” 

You and Mingyu say thank you and head off but right before you leave you hear the lady say slightly under her breath 

“They’re so cute they’d make such a cute married couple.”

You’re not sure if Mingyu also heard it but you decide to ignore it.  You guys walk around a little while eating. It's getting late and you're getting a little tired. 

“You seem a little sleepy. I can walk you back to your dorm if you're ready to call it a night.” said Mingyu 

“Yeah I am getting a little tired.” you say shocked he even noticed 

You and Mingyu reach the campus but he insists on at least taking you to the girls dorm building. As you guys are walking through the campus you run into Wonwoo. 

“Hey y/n why are you out so late?” he says with a smile that immediately fades once he sees Mingyu standing next to you 

“I just took her out on a date, i wanted to make sure she got back to her dorm okay.” says Mingyu 

You three had a quick conversation, said your goodbyes and you walked into your building. You get to your dorm, walk in, set your things down, undress and lay down. You realize just how awkward it truly was talking to Wonwoo with Mingyu right next to you. Thinking back to it, Wonwoo almost seemed annoyed when Mingyu told him you guys were on a date. “Was he jealous?” you thought but immediately dismissed the idea. The tiredness crept in faster and faster until you eventually fell asleep.
