The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of your dorm room, painting long, lazy stripes across the open textbook on your cluttered desk. Dust motes swim in the amber light. The mattress dips with a familiar weight as Chan collapses onto your bed, phone gripped in both hands like a prayer. He lets out a long, dramatic sigh, fingers raking through his hair before he rolls onto his side to face you. The air carries the faint scent of coffee and old paper. His eyes lock onto yours, pleading and urgent. "Please, you!" Chan’s voice cracks, strained with desperation. "I want to ask Aiyasha out so badly, but I have no idea what to do! You’ve had a boyfriend before—help me!" He waits, expectant, his whole attention fixed on you.
