Your first day of kindergarten had left such a deep impression on you that you could still remember it fairly clearly. You had been almost three, and watching your mother leave had made you cry, which wasnât exactly rare to happen there. You had stayed by the window for a long time, crying and hoping your mother would come pick you up soon, no matter how much the adults tried to kindly tell you that she would come in the afternoon.
The tears only stopped when your shoulder was tapped and you had turned around to see a boy of your age, smiling brightly.
âCome play with me. My mom left, too, but sheâll come back. Come on.â
And that was how you had met Lee Chan, your future best friend.
None of the first mornings at the kindergarten were easy for you, but Chan made them a lot better by playing with you and making it apparent that he wanted to be your friend. Playing with him made you forget about how much you missed your mother, and because you were new and you got along with him, you wanted to be his friend, too.
Both of your parents picked up on your friendship soon, whether it was because you two were always playing together whenever they picked you up or because you talked so much about each other and how you were friends at home. It didnât take long for you two to have regular play dates, and you also invited each other to your birthday parties, where you were tightly together, too.
Simply put, you became best friends rather soon and stuck side by side throughout kindergarten and preschool, and would do so for many years to come.
Somewhere during preschool, however, you were surprised to have your mother ask you something that would have you think about everything in a new light.
âSo, darling⊠do you like Chan?â
She had been folding the laundry and sounded casual while asking that, and you turned to look at her in surprise, putting aside the simple childrenâs book you were reading here and there. âHeâs my best friend, of course I like him.â
Your mother had turned to look at you meaningfully, a warm smile on her lips. âI meant as more than a friend. Weâve noticed the way you look at him, and we were just wonderingâŠâ
âWhoâs we?â you asked, focusing on the less important part rather than the fact that apparently you had a specific way in which you looked at Chan. Had he noticed?
âYour father and I, Chanâs mother, the preschool teacherâŠâ your mother hummed and laughed good-humoredly when you hid your face in the nearest pillow and groaned dramatically. Putting the laundry away, she sat next to you on the couch you were lying on and stroked your back. âHoney, itâs fine, crushes come and go. Itâs completely fine.â
Yeah, crushes came and went, but yours stuck with you for the next thirteen years.
After that discussion, you began thinking about it more, and realized that you may or may not have had a small crush on Chan. It was all kinds of pure and innocent - you were only six, after all - but you decided already then that you would never let him know about it.
Your friendship was more important than a flimsy crush that would eventually go away.
âŠ
Time passed, and you and Chan were happy to be in the same class when you entered primary school. The teacher soon figured that you two should not sit next to each other unless they wanted to have you chatting throughout every lesson, but neither of you minded too much: you spent the breaks together, anyway.
As you grew older, you and Chan only got closer, although you also had your fights. Sometimes one of you would feel left out; sometimes heâd get upset after you beat him at a game; sometimes one of you just had a bad day, and sometimes there were simply misunderstandings that you solved fast and continued as though nothing had ever happened. None of the small quarrels tore you apart from each other, and instead brought the two of you closer to one another.
Even your crush on him got stronger as time passed, which wasnât necessarily what you wanted to happen. You thought he was really cute and cool, and loved seeing him dance as he picked up interest in it. Whenever he was sick, you worried about him, and would help him with schoolwork if he wasnât fully on track. Naturally he was also incredibly kind to you, being a good-hearted boy who thought of you as one of the most important people in his life, and it made you happy. He never left a favor unreturned, and took similar care of you as you did of him.
Still too pure to think too deep into it, you simply enjoyed the hugs you got from him and gave him, as much as they made you feel butterflies yet were simply an act of friendship to him.
It wasnât until you entered middle school that you realized that especially with your feelings growing stronger, the one-sided nature of them would eventually hurt you: Chan was starting to get interested in people in a romantic way, and when he first whispered to you that he had a crush on someone, your heart jumped to your throat, only to sink back down when Chan told you who it was on. Naturally, you though, it was not on you.
âThatâs nice,â you told him, forcing a smile to your face, and held back a deep sigh when the object of his crush walked past the two of you and you had to witness the smitten look on his face.
âIt feels so nice,â Chan sighed dreamily, a serene smile on his face, and turned to you with a wide smile. âI hope you find someone you like soon, too.â
âSure,â you managed to say despite your heart hurting and wanting to tell him that you had already liked him for seven years.
He tilted his head a little at your ingenuine tone and expression, but was soon distracted by the teacher entering the class. âIâll talk to you again after the lesson.â
You only nodded, sighing when Chan left to his own seat, and looked at your notebook absentmindedly. Now that you knew who he liked, you couldnât help but pay attention to how much he looked at them, and you could only wish he would look at you with such a warm, adoring gaze.
In all honesty you had known it was bound to happen sooner or later - with how many confessions he had gotten, you thought it impossible for him to not like someone eventually. For the sake of your own heart, you just hoped that he wouldnât start dating before you got over your silly little crush.
You got your share of confessions, too, and after turning down one, you had Chan running to you. You were in ninth grade, practically counting days until the summer holidays, after which youâd enter high school.
âWhy did you turn him down? He really likes you, and heâs not too bad, either, is he?â he asked, genuinely curious, and got his arm around your shoulders, which made your heart flutter.
âItâs too early to start dating,â you mumbled, avoiding Chanâs gaze, and sighed. âAnd besides, I like someone else.â
âHe must be a lucky guy,â Chan smiled widely and squeezed your shoulder lightly. âYou need to tell me who he is sometime.â
âWeâll see,â you said with a small smile, although your heart felt heavy. Even after all those years, you still werenât ready to tell him - not when you had regular sleepovers and knew practically all of each otherâs secrets. It was all too precious to be ruined: by the age of fifteen, you had some knowledge on the possible outcomes of confessing to your friend, and you didnât want to take chances.
By the time you finally entered high school, you were officially smitten for Chan. Your cheeks would heat up in his presence a lot, and you were getting more and more conscious over the fact that he was attractive and that you really wanted to kiss him.
He had yet to notice anything, and by then you were in too deep to say anything about your crush, either, and instead swallowed any and all bitter feelings inside of you when he found a girl he liked, then loved, and eventually started dating.
Up until then you had been inseparably close, and even when he started dating the girl, you remained fairly close, although you could also feel him growing more distant as he began spending more time with her and less with you, which you also partially blamed on yourself. With the bitter emotions storming inside of you, there had been a few occasions where you had let jealousy have the best of you and had given him a bit of a cold shoulder, which you regretted.
It all lasted for a few months, during which you had gotten closer with your friends in one of the after school clubs you took part in, until one afternoon you saw Chan waiting at the door of the classroom your club was in. Frowning, you grabbed your bag and walked to the door.
âWhatâs up?â you asked in concern as the two of you began walking home, and Chan remained oddly quiet.
âShe broke up with me,â he then said, his eyes aimed at the ground. Your heart dropped at the sight and knowledge, and you pouted a little as Chan sighed, a small, sad smile on his face.
âYouâll be fine,â you said and got your arm around his shoulders, holding him close to you. âYouâre so sweet and kind and so cool when you dance; Iâm sure thereâll be someone else.â
Sighing, Chan nodded. âI hope youâre right.â
For a few months you got closer again as you helped him mend his broken heart, but eventually, especially during the second year of high school, the two of you began truly drifting apart.
Chan got more active in the dance club, which took a lot of his time, as well as got much closer to the people in it. Adding a new girlfriend to that, there wasnât too much time for you, although both of you tried to stay close for as long as you could. However, once you started spending more and more time with your other friends, too, it started to feel natural to talk less and less.
For some time you two would still text regularly and talk at school every now and then, but gradually throughout the school year, the two of you went from best friends to near strangers. You were in different classes for your last year of high school, and hardly talked at all during it.
By the summer you hardly even greeted each other, and it tore your heart apart just as much as it did to see him kiss his girlfriend at your graduation with the brightest smile on his face.
Your parents had also taken note of him not coming over, as opposed to him coming over at least once a week for whatever reason, and you had told them with a pained expression that you two werenât talking anymore.
That summer, both your parents and friends made sure you had a great time, and you found yourself hardly even thinking about Chan with all the trips you went on and great things you did with your friends.
You could only hope college would be good to you, too.
âŠ
Unfortunately you were painfully aware about the fact that Chan would be going to the same college as you, but you found solace in thinking that heâd probably have forgotten about you, as well as the fact that the college had so many students that bumping into him out of all people seemed unlikely.
Once you had first gotten to campus, you got settled in your room, which you were fortunate enough to share with someone you clicked with fairly well, and sighed as you looked out of your window. Your roommate tilted their head.
âSomething on your mind?â they asked and got their counterpane out of one of their boxes so that they could put it on their bed.
You pouted a little and turned to look at your roommate. âJust⊠itâs not too likely to meet someone from your past when thereâs so many of us here, right?â
They raised their eyebrows before shrugging with a small smile. âI want to say it isnât, but the universe has twisted ways.â
âThatâs true,â you sighed, slumping your shoulders as you sat down on your bed. âI just want to have a peaceful freshman year.â
Your roommate snorted, at which you pouted.
âGood luck with that.â
Not much later, you were called out for the beginning of orientation, and you decided to stick together at first, although you both had some of your friends from high school join you rather soon. There were a few quicker informative lectures about the college, how it worked and so on, and a few hours later you were more than ready to retreat back to your room with some pamphlets and flyers in your arms.
âIs there still something?â you asked with a sigh, and one of your high school friends hummed as they looked at the timetable.
âA lecture on student services, I think,â they said, and you held back a groan.
Before you were able to say anything else, you heard your name be called.
âY/N?â
Chills ran down your spine as your feet stopped moving, and your friends turned to look at you in surprise. Slowly, you turned to look at the direction where the familiar voice came from, although it was lower than you remembered.
And there he was: Lee Chan, looking confused and wearing a pair of round glasses that made him all the more adorable.
âChan..?â you asked with a tilt of your head, frowning, and felt your heart jump to your throat when he melted into a wide smile that left no room for misunderstanding: it was Chan. Turning to your friends, you smiled a little. âIâll come soon. Save me a seat, okay?â
With that, you walked to Chan, all kinds of emotions storming inside of you: disappointment over how things had gone between the two of you, surprise to see him on the very first day of orientation, happiness over seeing him after a long time, and⊠something warm in your chest over how lovely his smile still was.
âI saw you were going to enroll here, but I didnât expect to see you, at least so soon,â Chan said brightly, and you nodded with a small, awkward smile on your face.
âMe neither,â you noted and took a deep breath. âSo⊠how are you and Minkyung?â
His face fell momentarily, but the smile reappeared on his face soon. âAh, we broke up over the summer. It wasnât working.â
âI see,â you nodded, trying to ignore the way your heart seemed to flutter with some dumb hope.
âWhat about you? Anything new?â Chan inquired, and you wished you had something interesting to tell him, such as having a hot boyfriend or having done something cool over the summer or just anything.
And yet. âNothing, really. Same old, same old.â
Chan smiled at you. âWell, now that weâre in college Iâm sure thereâll be something. And also⊠do you want to catch up sometime? Like, properly, over coffee or something?â
âUh, sure,â you said, slightly dumbfounded as to where it was all coming from, and got a bright smile from him.
âI think we need to go now, but Iâll message you about it later,â he stated and you could only nod as you then began walking to the auditorium your next lecture would be in. Chan stole glances at you, worrying his lower lip between his teeth; he was next to his childhood friend who was once his best friend, yet you now felt like a stranger, and he blamed it on himself. âSo⊠did you have a nice summer?â
âI did, actually,â you said, your smile becoming more genuine and happy as you recalled all the great memories you had made during the few months you had had free. âI travelled quite a bit, and just⊠did a lot of things, you know.â
âI think I saw some of the photos, yeah,â Chan hummed and gave you a warm smile. âIâm glad you had a good time.â
âI hope you did, too,â you said right when you reached the auditorium door, which was where you parted your ways as Chan left to look for people he knew and you located your friends, too.
Your roommate nudged you as soon as you had sat down next to them. âWas that the someone from the past?â
âYeah,â you whispered, trying to calm down your rapidly beating heart.
âIs he your ex or something?â they asked, and you nearly choked on your spit.
âGod, no. We⊠used to be best friends and I used to like him for a long time, itâs a long story,â you mumbled and let out a deep sigh. Your roommate nodded in understanding, and before the person at the very front of the auditorium began talking, told you that theyâd be willing to listen if you ever wanted to talk about it.
A few hours later you were finally back to your room, and upon checking your phone, noticed a message from Chan where he asked you if you wanted to grab coffee the next day. Although skeptical, you found yourself agreeing, and so the next day you made your way to one of the cafés on campus, spotting Chan by the door of it.
âGood to see you,â he smiled when he spotted you, and you smiled once you finally reached him.
âYeah,â you said with a nod, and without further ado suggested that you enter the cafĂ©.
The two of you looked at the menu carefully, and Chan asked you what you were getting. When you answered, he chuckled and looked at you brightly. âSome things donât change. I remember you getting that pretty much all the time.â
âWhy change the order when youâve found something you like,â you said with a soft chuckle, and Chan agreed. Much to your amusement he ordered his old favorite, too, and soon you were both seated by one of the window tables.
Meeting up with him was just as awkward as you had feared it would be, yet also oddly comfortable. While you hadnât talked in almost a year, it felt like hardly any time had passed since you last spoke. It was weird and it made you both happy and sad, knowing that you had missed almost a year of time with him.
Almost a year without your best friend.
You caught up pretty extensively and talked about your shared memories, all of which made you feel nostalgic, and for a moment it felt like you were with the 3-year-old you had once become friends with - only, you were both 16 years older.
A few hours later, the two of you walked back to your dorms, talking cheerfully as you did so. When you reached your dorm, Chan turned to you.
âI know I kinda⊠blew it in high school, but would you like to start seeing more again?â he asked, seemingly hopeful yet nervous about your reply. The next words he practically blurted out. âI really miss you.â
âI miss you, too,â you mumbled, hardly able to keep a pout off your face, and without thinking about it too much - thinking about your feelings too much - you nodded. âI think itâd be nice to reconnect.â
Even if it meant awakening the warm feelings that were already starting to arise in your chest whenever you saw him smile.
âGreat,â Chan grinned at you, and gave you a friendly hug. âWell, Iâll see you around, then.â
âYeah, see you,â you smiled and watched him leave as he continued walking down the road until he reached his dorm. Sighing, you entered yours and made your way to your room, thinking about the decision you had just made.
All you could do was hope you wouldnât regret it.
After that you and Chan saw each other regularly, regaining the close friendship you once shared, little by little. You were a bit worried to realize that with that, all the adoration and love you felt for him were brought back, too, but you didnât know how to stop it, and finding someone else didnât feel right, either, as much as your roommate promised to work as some sort of a matchmaker for you.
No, youâd figure it out yourself eventually.
Time passed, and towards the end of the first semester you and Chan were more or less best friends again, although you were still trying to mend what had been lost and broken between the two of you. You spent a lot of time together and supported each other during whatever slumps occurred, and also went to most of the events and parties together, sometimes with one or two other friends, too.
It made you smile how you got to see him in such new situations: falling asleep on his book in the library, witnessing him dancing wildly at a party after one too many drinks, sneaking him to your dorm room after he had gotten locked out of his own for a reason you werenât sure you even wanted to know⊠you treasured every bit of it, and Chan felt the same way about you.
Shortly put, you were both more than happy to be back in each otherâs lives.
As the spring semester came near, Chan invited you to yet another party, which felt particularly tempting due to how annoyingly strong your crush on him was getting once again. Sleeping had gotten difficult because you thought about him so much, and you found yourself thinking about him more and more, too, and not completely platonically, either. With how much you wanted to do all kinds of romantic things with him and have him treasure you, you concluded that you were in need of a drink and letting loose; you were in need of forgetting, if only for one night.
As per usual, the two of you went to the party together, and Chan raised his eyebrows when you went directly to the drinks.
âPlanning to get wasted today?â he asked jokingly when you poured a drink for yourself, and you nodded determinedly once you raised the cup to your lips.
âDamn straight,â you said with a smile, not in the least correcting Chan when he assumed that the reason lied in the nearing new semester, which only knew stress, deadlines and lacking sleep.
âGood thing you have me taking care of you,â he chuckled and got himself a drink, too and you agreed with him.
Much to your joy the party was incredibly pleasant. You had a good time and were actually able to forget about your feelings for Chan for a moment, and you found out that the party wasnât too bad even when you were separated from him for a while. You talked with people you hadnât spoken with before, danced a little and all that, all the while Chan talked with some people, too, while making sure you were okay and not getting into any kind of trouble.
Some hours into the party, Chan blinked in surprise when you suddenly got your arm around his shoulders and leaned against him, your breath smelling faintly of the alcohol you still had in your cup as well as in your body. A smile spread to his lips, and he got his arm around you, too, providing you support. âWhatâs up?â
âI have to tell you something,â you began with a giggle that he could tell was more hollow than it was meant to be. He raised his eyebrows, and you grinned at him, although it didnât reach your eyes. âItâs a funny story, really.â
âWhat is it?â he asked, one of his eyebrows quirked, completely unaware of what you were about to say.
You let out a deep sigh, your face falling a little at that. âI used to have a huge crush on you for a loooong time, you know?â
Chanâs eyes widened and his lips parted in surprise, and he was unable to say anything as his heart jumped to his throat.
âYou never noticed it⊠Maybe I hid it so well? It was funny, honestly⊠Being your best friend when I just really⊠loved you,â you said, your words sounding a bit messy, and Chan listened intently, his expression darkening a little when you went on. âAll the girls you dated⊠your broken heart that I had to help you healâŠâ
âY/N, stop,â Chan managed to say at last and pulled you a bit closer to him so that he could hug you with one arm. You sighed again, closing your eyes and leaning into him, hardly remembering the cup in your hand.
âYouâve still got such a warm hug,â you sighed, breathing in his scent, and there was something in the situation added to the alcohol in your blood that made you emotional. Sniffling, you took a hold of the back of Chanâs sweater. â...I want to go home.â
As much as he was enjoying the party, his heart was hurting seeing you like that, especially after hearing what you had said, so he nodded without hesitation. âLetâs go.â
Chan walked you to your dorm room and made sure you got to bed well, but when he was about to leave, you took his hand into yours.
âDonât leave me again,â you mumbled, your eyes already closed, and Chan pouted a little, rubbing the back of your hand gently.
âDo you want me to stay over?â he asked, and you let out a noise he could only take as a positive answer, especially when it was joined with a nod from you.
You let go of his hand and got into a comfortable position under your blanket, and soon you had him lying down next to you, keeping a safe space between the two of you. Chan sighed as he looked at you, a put on his face, and stroked your arm slowly through the blanket you had over yourself.
âIâve made you go through a lot, havenât I?â he asked rhetorically, his voice small, and smiled a little with a sad hint to it. âIâll try to make up for it. Iâm sorry.â
The next morning you, much to your own surprise, woke up with Chan by your side. You frowned, trying to remember what had happened the previous night, but it was all so blurry and the headache was killing you, so all you could do was hope you hadnât said or done anything dumb, although being in your own bed fully clothed gave you a lot of hope.
Somewhat able to scramble over Chan, you got out of bed and into the bathroom, taking note of the empty bed of your roommateâs on the way. Figuring that theyâd gotten some other place to sleep at the night before, you instead focused on how the night had been for you while brushing your teeth and washing your face.
Clearly you had been with Chan the whole evening, which wasnât much of a surprise since you were close again, but besides that it all was a blur. Only your gut feeling told you that there was a good reason for him to have slept next to you.
Even after you had freshened up a little, you remained seated on your toilet, trying to will your body to feel less nauseous while also avoiding having to talk with Chan, who you hoped was still sleeping.
Your hopes turned into dust when you could hear a knock on the bathroom door, followed by a low, groggy voice. âY/N, are you okay?â
âY-yeah, just give me a second,â you rushed to answer, and you hated the way your heart was hammering in your chest. As if you werenât feeling bad enough already.
âOkay,â Chan replied, after which you figured he left the door.
Sighing, you massaged your temples. Whether it was the hangover or just a general arising of old emotions, you suddenly felt as much like a mess as you had in high school when you were trying to deal with the unrequited feelings you held for the boy that was now sitting on your bed.
âIâm stronger now,â you mumbled to yourself and finally stood up and got out of the bathroom, building up your courage so that you could look at Chan and actually talk with him.
He smiled up at you, his hair a bit of a mess. âGood morning.â
âMorning,â you mumbled with a small smile, too, and leaned against the wall next to the bathroom door. Clearing your throat, you began fiddling with the hem of the shirt you were wearing. âSo⊠what happened last night?â
You could see Chanâs expression change for a moment before he sighed and gave you a soft yet sad smile. âYou kind of⊠opened up, I guess.â
Feeling your eyes widen, you then winced and covered your face with your hand. âAbout..?â
Chan pouted and stood up so that he could walk to you. âAbout you, me, us⊠I had no idea you liked me.â
Your heart felt like it couldâve burst out of anxiety, and breathing felt challenging, too. Chan looked at you in concern and slowly placed his hands on your shoulders, only pulling you into a hug when you didnât show a sign of not wanting it.
âItâs really nothing,â you mumbled, clinging onto Chan as you hid your face in his shoulder. Tears were stinging in your eyes, and a part of you hated just how comforting his hug was, even as you braced yourself for yet another rejection, this time a direct one.
âItâs not nothing,â Chan said, audibly pouting, and stroked your back soothingly. âI could tell youâve been hurting, you know. And Iâm sorry. For that, and for letting us drift apart, andâŠâ
âIt takes two to drift apart,â you reminded him with a sniffle, and got a quiet hum from him.
âI guess. I just⊠I never wanted to hurt you,â he whispered, holding you close as he sighed. âIâm sorry for being blind.â
Holding the back of his sweater in your fists, you shook your head. âItâs fine, I was doing my best to hide it anyway⊠I played myself.â
âI didnât mean that,â Chan said quietly, and you slowly lifted your face, looking at him with a small frown, your eyes glistening with tears. He gave you a small, sad smile and dried some of the tears from your cheeks with his thumbs. âIâve been blind to my own feelings.â
Unable to say anything, all you could do was stare into his eyes as you tried to figure out if he was saying what you thought he was saying, and you could hear your heartbeat.
Melting into a wide smile, Chan caressed your cheeks. âIâve been thinking about you a lot recently, Y/N, and I think IâŠâ
âDonât say it if you donât mean it,â you whispered, your eyes watering with fresh tears, and Chan shook his head, his eyes glistening a little, too.
â...like you. I like you.â
His voice was so steady and his gaze was so warm that your knees nearly gave in, and you werenât sure if you still believed your ears.
Lee Chan, who you had liked since preschool, liked you?
A smile spread to your lips as you sniffled and placed your hands on top of his on your cheeks. âReally? Even though Iâm⊠me? Despite all the unflattering situations youâve seen me in?â
âBecause youâre you,â Chan laughed, the grin on his face widening at your latter remark. âBesides, most of those unflattering situations were in kindergarten.â
âMy point exactly,â you choked out and let out a quiet laugh. âWeâve known each other for so long, itâs crazy.â
âMaybe thatâs why Iâm crazy about you,â Chan blurted out and blushed a little. âI mean--â
âSmooth,â you smiled at him, and Chan held back a groan before looking into your eyes shyly, lowering his hands from your cheeks and taking your hands into his.
âHow do you feel about me now, though?â he asked quietly, biting on his lower lip as he waited for your reply.
âRight now youâre not helping my hangover, but,â you began, taking a break as you grinned widely, âI still like you, you dummy.â
Chan let out a sigh of relief and hugged you tightly, only to pull back soon afterwards. âYouâre hungover?â
âYep,â you nodded with a meek smile, and got a chuckle from Chan.
âGet in bed, Iâll go grab us something to eat and be right back.â
You did just that and watched him curiously as he put his jacket on and turned to look at you with a bright smile on his face before leaving your room.
There was comfort in the knowledge that he would be back, and once he did return, the two of you ate eagerly, after which you talked a little about how you felt about each other and how you would continue.
Little by little your relationship grew more romantic in nature - neither of you rushed anything, and instead let it all happen naturally as days passed. Youâd start holding hands, hug more, cuddleâŠ
And, a few weeks later, you shared your first kiss, which was everything yet nothing like you had imagined, but only in a good way.
You had been on your bed, you with one of your coursebooks on your lap and Chan was playing a video game on his portable console, and after finishing another stage, he had turned to you, about to ask something. You had turned to him at the same time, and your lips brushed against each otherâs, which made your eyes widen.
Melting into a smile, you had then placed your hand on his leg and given him a proper kiss, to which he replied with a similar wide, happy smile, cupping your cheek with his hand.
Slowly, you pulled back, the brightest smile on your face. âSo, what were you about to say?â
âI forgot,â Chan snorted, and you gave him a gentle nudge, at which he laughed.
Whatever he was about to ask you never came back to him, but instead you shared a few more light kisses before attempting to focus on what you were doing again, which proved out to be impossible to the point where you ushered Chan out of your room, laughing.
âIâll leave with one condition,â he said with a laugh when he was standing in the hallway and you were by your door.
Quirking your eyebrow knowingly, you grinned. âOne more kiss?â
âExactly,â Chan smiled and pulled you in for a kiss that nearly had you melting and reconsidering your decision to study rather than spend time with him - only the importance of the course helped you remain strong.
Meanwhile, Chan left with a grin on his face, and once you returned to your bed, you were met with two messages showing on your phone screen.
14:02 I could tell you wanted me to stay. Study well, I wonât kiss you again unless your exam goes well!
14:03 ...We both know thatâs a lie, but I still want you to do well! I love you đ

vlad - heâs a very controlling and overbearing person, honestly. heâs the type of person who trusts his knowledge above everyone elseâs and feels heâs the most capable in any given situation, therefore he feels itâs only right that heâs in charge, no matter the circumstance. heâs wise, yes, but after centuries of believing this of himself, his wisdom has warped to unabashed pride, and he finds it difficult to trust anotherâs capabilities over his own because of it. i like to think this ties into why heâs fairly codependent in his relationships; he needs to feel as though heâs the one providing for, guiding, and therefore âcontrollingâ his relationships, he needs to feel needed, so he seeks out people who feed into that desire, people he feels are âmisguidedâ who need a wise, proper hand to bring them to normalcy. you know, someone like him, the spitting image of normalcy, seeking out impressionable people in an attempt to satiate his intense desire to be needed. like sir have u ever heard of therapy? LMAOOO
breanna - sheâs laidback to a fault and oftentimes irresponsible, someone who rarely considers the outcomes of her decisions and someone who ignores the telltale signs given to her. this manifests in a lot of careless, reckless behavior and poor decision making skills. like, for instance, if vlad reminds breanna that the water bill must be paid by x day? you best bet the water will be shut off because queen, irresponsible as she is, forgot to send the check. if she promises to bring you to your doctorâs appointment, you best bet that the morning of youâre gonna call her only to discover she didnât realize your doctorâs appointment was Today and she is currently stoned asf and cannot operate her vehicle, to which you will reply Breanna Itâs 8 AM Why Are You Smoking At 8 AM to which she will apologize and cry and hang up and fall asleep. much like vlad, i like to think this ties into her own codependency issues, as she feels sheâs, in essence, unable to properly, or rather, responsibly care for herself, and must rely on someone else to do this for her. she enables his controlling nature by relying on him for most things, and in return he enables her immaturity by providing for her unconditionally. isnât that, like, super fucked up lmaooooo? like, itâs the sims universe u know, so take all of this with a grain of salt, bc like in the context of my silly sims 4 legacy all of these codependency issues honestly amount to, like, breanna being a happy and uncritical stoner tradwife and vlad being the one who pays the bills and drives. itâs not actually that serious u know. but when you think about it critically and apply it to like real-world scenarios n consequences n whatever... itâs gross as fuck <3 you guys need therapy <3
lucien - like vlad, heâs fairly prideful, as he feels heâs the most knowledgeable and capable of any given situation, but more so than that, he feels the need to show off his intelligence by testing othersâ knowledge. he also feels the need to lecture those he feels arenât as knowledgeable as he is; often he doesnât realize heâs doing it. heâll basically mansplain to you for hours, if you donât keep him in check. also, his ego usually gets the best of him, and he canât help but find himself better than those he views as unintelligent. it can come off a little classist at times, and this is something which has been brought to his attention in the past, something he wishes to alleviate in his further interactions. itâs a work in progress. ;-;
gen - their main issue is that theyâve a difficult time understanding and empathizing with other people, primarily women. i like to think this comes from their overall discomfort within themselves, whether that discomfort revolves around their personality, their gender identity, or their apathy towards life. women in particular are difficult for gen to empathize with, as it is that gen makes an effort to distance themselves from women, most likely a consequence of their discomfort with their assigned gender. lashing out at the âthingâ they wish to distance themselves from is a simple, quick way to tell your peers, I Am Not This Thing! you donât wish to be perceived as a women? vehemently hate all of that which is considered womanly, and maybe youâll stand a chance against your audience. thatâs... genâs way of looking at it, at least. itâs not healthy, and gen realizes this by now, but so far itâs not caused too much of a hindrance on their life, save for all the girlfriends they canât get because of their shitty misogynistic streak, so theyâre not too bothered. i can promise you as they grow more comfortable with themselves, they will eventually drop their mean streak. i know genâs been a misogynist for, like, two years now lmaooo ;-;
carlile - much like his mother, heâs extremely irresponsible. he forgets important dates, he often misplaces his belongings and the belongings of others, he can hardly be trusted to cook without forgetting the stoveâs on then burning the house to the ground. heâs also rather bratty, especially when heâs hungry. idk iâm blanking on carlile honestly his toxic trait is being perfect <3
nikolai - he has a hard time establishing boundaries with others, so he often finds himself in situations he finds uncomfortable, merely because he canât say no to anything. you can usually tell when heâs uncomfortable, as he wears the expression well on his face, but even then, heâll bite his tongue and carry onwards. worst of all, though, heâll be upset with you if youâre the one who suggested the plans, even if heâs the one who agreed to the situation despite not wanting to attend in the first place.
klaus - he doesnât expect anything from anybody, and he feels that all people should feel this way about each other, as no expectations means no one can get hurt. this also means, however, that klausâ effort put into everything he does is fairly low, and he doesnât often impress people with his lazy, myopic attitude. heâs self-dependent to a fault, wanting to do most things by himself without considering the help of others, as he feels heâs the only one who should provide for himself. basically, he doesnât accept âcharityâ from other people, and he thinks most people shouldnât accept âcharityâ from others, either. very much a âpull yourself up by the bootstrapsâ kind of guy, which i consider toxic as fuck, so, like. :)
anastasia - sheâs a lot like vlad; she feels her judgment is the best in most situations, and she feels she deserves to be in charge at all opportunities because of this. her confidence teeters on pride, and she often confuses the two and unknowingly comes across as arrogant and abrasive because of this. she trusts the abilities of others, itâs just that she believes she works the hardest and wants it the most, and this innate desire puts her above others. sheâs also prone to fits of jealousy, especially over her friends, an attribute also lovingly instilled into her by her father :p if you so much as look at her best friends the wrong way, she will come for your throat as though she were some rabid dog, about to feast on her next meal. sheâs loyal, yes, but loyalty doesnât come without its faults; sheâs quick to excuse her friends, even for truly heinous actions they provably committed, so long as she feels the intention is forgivable. her love and affection for other people blinds her, and often sheâll act in their best interest, even if that means being rude or aggressive towards others who go against them.
ilya - his toxic trait is that heâs never featured on this blog and idk what to do with him <3 his other toxic trait is that when hes a teen hes gonna commit arson. thats sooooo toxic
ok im gonna go through everyone else really quickly bc my fingers hurt HAHAHA ok lets speedrun this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bonnie - her toxic trait is that she thinks 50 shades of gray is legitimately a good book series. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
cooper - his toxic trait is that he smells so bad and he doesnt know why he uses soap and deodorant and bathes frequently hes just sweaty asf and you know what Me too king sweaty kings rise up
shivi - her toxic trait is that shes a barista at a coffee shop and she doesnt even like coffee. her other toxic trait is that she lowkey hates vampires :( and thats just rude asf
maeve - her toxic trait is that shes an apologist. she sees someone doing something terrible and shes like OKAY THEY DID THIS BAD THING BUT THEYâRE JUST TROUBLED ITâS NOT THEIR FAULT MAYBE I CAN FIX THEM!!!! like no bitch you cant
tarek - his toxic trait is NOTHING tarek is literally so perfect like he just wants to take care of his sick boyfriend and learn how to be a top tier witch like thats it? He doesnt deserve any slander bye
abigail - her toxic trait is that sheâs SOOOOOO clingy to the point where like u guys can be in the same room but if youâre not looking at her rn while you two are in the same room together sheâs like DO YOU HATE ME? like abbie please we dont hate u ur just being crazy rn. shes also extremely jealous and self-destructive so like if she feels like u are cheating on her she will FREAK OUT and ruin your relationship bc she doesnât know how to effectively communicate her emotions and feels the need to lash out inexplicably at everything that triggers her </3 poor girl
karmen - her toxic trait is that she hides behind her humor and nonchalant persona to mask her emotions. she says itâs a coping mechanism, but the truth is, she refuses to meaningfully engage with these feelings, as theyâre too uncomfortable for her, so she downplays her struggles with humor. sheâs very much someone who acts as though sheâs got it under control, even if the truth is, sheâs struggling to stay afloat. her other toxic trait is that she will endanger her own internet safety it if means she can get a cute e-milf to send her money <3
caspian - heâs reserved to a fault, as though heâs physically unable to admit whatâs troubling him. yet, when he speaks, you can always tell when thereâs an issue. itâs always one of those things with him, where the emotion is too repressed to be articulated, yet too present to ignore. heâs so resistant to aid, heâd rather subject himself to terrible situations if it means denying help from another. often, he does this under the guise that he doesnât wish to be a burden to others, therefore he must take care of himself without help, but he fails to realize that by not helping himself, heâs hurting his relationships around him, which burdens everyone. heâs deeply insecure, and he often weaponizes his insecurities, typically without meaning to. this manifests in a lot of self-deprecation, deflective language during arguments, ie âIâm the worst person ever, I wouldnât blame you if you hated me after this,â which often comes off very manipulative. again, he doesnât mean to sound manipulative, itâs just something that happens naturally, something he's gotta work towards alleviating.
vaughn - like caspian, heâs many emotions which are too strong to ignore, though too repressed to be expressed. this manifests primarily through vaughnâs financial immaturity and his promiscuity. he enjoys the physical pleasures of life, and he often abuses these luxuries as a way to distract himself from the very real pain he feels, pain he refuses to admit he harbors. so instead he sings his silly songs and spends his money recklessly and fucks everyone within a thirty mile radius to distract himself from the void in his chest :\
wolfgang - heâs basically an incel LMAOOOOOOO or like what do they call an incel who larps as a normal person to pick up woman? a pick up artist i think? hes that LMAO hes quite literally in the incel community is what im trying to say. i havent talked about it yet but its literally a plot point. if you look in my brainstorm sheet rn it says âWolfgang munch reads incelme forums every day. Wolfgang munch thinks j*rdan peters*n is the leading figurehead in the hall of intelligentsia.â so like yeah
