The group of children grew up in one neighbourhood living near each other, sua, mizi, ivan, till. And their older group of friends they saw occasionally, luka, hyuna and hyunwoo, isaac and dewey.
Sua and ivan were siblings. The group of children often played together, went to each other's houses, had sleepovers and such, the energetic bunch of kids were close. Until middle school started.
Somewhere when middle school started, they started to hang out less and less. Until not that much at all. Life got them, they got busy other. Barely seeing each other. They all used to go to the same elementary school but went to different middle schools. Mizi was the popular bunch, socialising in middle school while ivan got hyperfixcated on football while naturally a bit popular.
Till being the outcast he was, well he had his own share of bully and bad grades to eat up. Sua meanwhile couldnt stand her brother ivan, she mostly kept to herself reading and being the quiet yet good kid.
Their lives soon changed when they all coincidentally transferred to the same high-school. Within the first week ivan and mizi were the talk of the school, everyone shipping them together when in reality in private both of them were just gossiping besties, going to each other's houses and havjng spa days.
Naturally with Ivan's looks, he got more popular Until he was just as popular as mizi. Till on the other hand had fully developed his sense of style and wardrobe.

The same could be said for sua except she was going through an existential crisis that she was lesbian.
The first week of high-school was a wave and mix of new emotions for the group. Ivan and mizi reunited as besties, Till and sua were stealing glances at mizi and pining over her while having existential crises, Till and sua were both a bit jealous of ivan being so disgustingly close with mizi, completely missing that it was platonic.
Meanwhile mizi was secretly head over heels for sua, watching sua from afar while ivan teased her about her little crush every chance he got. The first week of high-school was going pretty fast, small feelings and crushes being developed. Mizi gazed at sua reading in the library from afar, her short hair with her calm cute face... before ivan snapped mizi out of it. Ruining mizi's thoughts and daydreaming
