chapter 1
———————————————————

we were just friends

that spoke like lovers

and that seemed to be enough

for two teenagers who were

scared to love one another.
°❀⋆.ೃ࿔・𓂃 ོ𓂃

the university courtyard was loud in the way it always was between afternoon lectures

someone was advertising a campus festival through a speaker that crackled every few seconds

a group of freshmen were attempting to choreograph a dance they'd definitely regret posting later

two students were arguing over whose turn it was to buy coffee

hwang intak ignored all of it.

mostly because his best friend was currently losing his mind beside him

"im telling you!" keeho said, gesturing wildly with his iced americano, "if you flirt with one more person this week someone's actually going to punch you"

intak looked at him offended

"that's a very serious accusation."

"it's tuesday"

"so?"

"it's tuesday, intak."

"I appreciate your concern?"

"you asked the librarian if she believed in fate."

"I was looking for a book!"

"you winked!"

"I just have naturally expressive eyes"

keeho sighed

the sigh of someone who'd been friends with Intak for far too long.

"you're exhausting."

"hmm ive heard charismatic"

"well you heard wrong!"

intak laughed, shoving his hands into the pockets of his hoodie as they cut across the courtyard

his attention wandered.

mostly because someone wasn't paying attention to any of the noise around them.

a guy sat alone on one of the stone benches outside the library, headphones resting around his neck instead of over his ears

a notebook layed open across his lap, his pen moving steadily across the page while the rest of campus blurred into background noise

brown hair

black hoodie

one leg crossed over the other

completely unbothered.

"...who's that?" intak asked absentmindedly

keeho tried following his gaze

"aah"

"what?"

"that's choi taeyang"

"theo?"

"nhm"

"i don't think ive ever seen him before"

"you definitely have."

"I would've remembered."
