Summary
It all started with an understaffed college opera.
It was more a shitshow than an opera at this point.
Manon should’ve known better. She was a junior and very much busy and had way too much to do and, most importantly, did not know how to ever say no, and now, here she was, ass-deep into the fall with a new source of niche, targeted stress.
But Lara had come to her, begging her to fill the role of lighting designer with big puppy eyes and a stupid promise to bring Manon as her +1 to the next 3 weddings she would attend.
God, Manon knew she should’ve said no.

Summary
Manon had consumed way too much alcohol.
Manon didn’t know when or how she got here. They must’ve skipped over Thanksgiving and gone straight to December, and Christmas must’ve come early or something, because she was lying back against her own bed, on top of her duvet, with legs dangling over the side of this twin XL mattress, and a beautiful, gorgeous, vixen of a woman was straddling her, nibbling at her neck.
Cross that — Sophia Laforteza was straddling her, and exploring Manon with all teeth and tongue, as if she were a starving woman who’d stumbled upon forbidden fruit.

Summary
Sophia was very good at compartmentalizing her spaces.
Of note, there were few things she did in her bedroom — cooking and eating were done in the kitchenette of her and Yoonchae’s shared apartment, studying was done at the library, pilates at the gym, game nights at Megan’s dorm, and so on. She could count the number of things she did in that room on one hand: sleep, shower, change clothes, put on or take off makeup. Maybe an occasional phone call or FaceTime if Yoonchae was deep in the trenches of her own room, and Sophia didn’t want to risk a call in the apartment’s living area to interrupt the other girl.
Regardless, the point was this: Sophia did very few things in her bed other than sleep. She did not study there, she did not eat there, and she most definitely did not see it as a playground space for a threesome.
And yet here she was.

Summary
Yoonchae had been feeling like shit for two weeks now.
At the end of the first week of college, she had briefly thought about dropping this Aztec art GenEd class; she had seriously considered changing classes altogether, mostly because she kept coughing during lecture, and the lecture was a hundred-person class in which, seemingly, she was the only person who was sick and coughing her lungs out. She had also briefly considered changing seats, but people had just begun sitting in the same locations, and it didn’t feel right to take someone else’s seat at this point.
Yoonchae decided it was better to stay where she was.
She continued coughing.

aka 5 times yoonchae’s reminded that she’s still just a college freshman, and one time that she realizes that being a freshman ain’t all that bad (it’s still the opera AU, but is one year before — opera AU happens when Yoonchae's a sophomore, during Nov/Dec of her sophomore year)
