Today’s the first day of your college freshmen orientation. You didn’t really pay attention to your blockmates and you only spent time with your bestfriend, Chin. For every activity that you did during the orientation, you always grouped with her because you didn’t want to befriend any of your blockmates yet. You saw your classmates as rich, bratty kids and you disliked such kind of people.

I need to see first which ones I can befriend… you told yourself.

You met Mark on the first day of the two-day freshmen orientation. Your facilitator asked the class to fill out something (you don’t really remember anymore what it was). You glanced to your left and locked eyes with a boy. You were about to look away when he asks you, “Hey, do you have an extra pen?”

And that’s where it all started. You introduced yourselves and you introduced him to your bestfriend. He started hanging out with you that same day. You were neutral about him – you didn’t particularly like him or hated him – but you still felt uneasy around him.

A few weeks after, classes finally started. On your way to school, you wondered whether Mark would still hang out with you or if that’s only back at the orientation. But when you saw him in your first class, he smiled at you and even stuck his tongue out at you. So I guess this means we’re officially friends…

This marked the start of your friendship. Every chance you got, you always chose to be grouped with Chin and Mark. Every time you had a long break, your group always hanged out together – eating, studying or playing computer games at a shop near the university. Even online, you’re still chatting about all kinds of things – jokes, school-related topics, gossips, your obsession with Kpop, basically just about anything under the sun. Your world basically revolved around your friends, further fueling the growing rift between you and your boyfriend, Yugyeom. Without you realizing, even when you talk to him, you still mention your friends – especially Mark. The jealous type that he is, Yugyeom felt hurt and obviously got mad at you. But this didn’t stop you from being friends with Mark.

Why should I? It’s not like I’m having an affair or anything. He’s just a friend. I don’t even see him as someone I’d like as more than a friend.

Or maybe it was too early to say such things.

With all three of you always hanging out, you soon started liking Mark. You tried to ignore it because you had a boyfriend living abroad. You thought that even if your relationship with Yugyeom is on the rocks, you still should not betray him. You tried to poison your mind by thinking of Mark’s flaws but your feelings kept on growing. The more you tried to point out his flaws, the more you learned to accept him for who he was.

You were on your way home and Mark volunteered to walk with you. Contrary to your usual rowdy get-togethers, you are both too quiet it made you uncomfortable.
