    Summary

    There is a particularly memorable Saturday when Euijoo walks into the room and sees Nicholas texting on his phone and wearing a plaid skirt, his legs bare underneath.

    “Um,” Euijoo says, trying not to swallow his tongue. “Are you going out?”

    “Oh,” Nicholas says. He runs a hand through his hair. “No. I’m just really behind on laundry, actually.”

    Oh, so Nicholas is wearing that to do laundry. That’s… cool. Euijoo doesn’t have an opinion on this at all, mostly because his brain is lagging like it’s on one bar of wifi. He wants to say that Nicholas looks nice, but instead just gives him a thumbs up. Euijoo quietly gets his laptop out of his backpack and considers dropping out of school.

    [In freshman year of university, Euijoo and Nicholas are assigned to be roommates.]

    Summary

    “What if it’s Maki Hirota?” Taki says.

    Harua glares at him. “Don’t even joke about that.”

    Harua does not like Maki. All Harua knows about him is that he’s on the football team and that last month he beaned Harua in the head with a dodge ball during gym class. Which would be fine, everybody knows that high school dodgeball isn’t personal, except when Maki came to apologize he told Harua: “I’m sorry, and also, I want to say that you’re really… short.”

    [Harua gets anonymous snacks slipped into his locker.]

    Summary

    “I want a boyfriend,” Taki blurts out.

    “Okay,” Kei says. He closes his laptop and grabs his keys. “Let’s go, we’ll get you one.”

    Fuma bursts into laughter. “What, are you going to get him one from the mall?”

    “Well, there clearly aren’t any in this apartment,” Kei retorts.

    “Wait, wait,” Taki says, waving his hands around. Man, he really should have thought twice before speaking— unfortunately, his brain-to-mouth filter has never worked very well. “I don’t mean right at this moment!”

    [Taki attempts to find a boyfriend. He finds out that he's in love with Yuma instead.]

    Summary

    “Uh, second of all,” Jo continues, “how would we pretend… to be… boyfriends? I told you, I’m bad at lying.”

    “Well, I’m good at lying, so I’d do most of it,” Yuma says. “Maybe I’d tell people that one day, I saw your contact and hit you up out of the blue, because I always thought that you were attractive back in university. And then we went on a couple of dates, and I ended up really falling for you, and you returned my feelings. All you would have to do is look at me like you like me.”

    Jo frowns.

    “Yeah, that might be too hard for you,” Yuma concedes.

    [Yuma needs a fake boyfriend. Jo is a terrible actor.]
