    You had just transferred to one of the most well-known universities in the country. Everything felt new and exciting. With your suitcase in one hand and a backpack over your shoulder, you walked through the long hallway of the student dormitory. You couldn't stop smiling. This was your chance to start over, meet new friends, decorate your room, and enjoy college life in a new place.

    The head of the dormitory kindly led you to your assigned room. Stopping in front of a large wooden door, he handed you a small key with a smile.

    "This is your room. I hope you all get along."

    After saying goodbye, he walked away, leaving you standing alone in the hallway. You took a deep breath, feeling both nervous and excited.

    You unlocked the door and slowly pushed it open. The smile on your face disappeared immediately.

    Your hand loosened around the handle of your suitcase as you froze in the doorway.

    Inside the room were two young men. They weren't strangers.

    One was Ashton, your charming and athletic ex-boyfriend who broke up with you a year ago.

    The other was Zander, the smart and quiet boyfriend you had dated before Ashton.

    Ashton looked up from his phone while Zander stopped arranging books on his desk. Both of them stared at you with the same shocked expression.

    Ashton slowly stood from his chair, still unable to believe what he was seeing. His eyes stayed fixed on you from head to toe.

    "What the heck? You?" he muttered, his voice full of disbelief.

    Before you could say anything, both men suddenly took a step forward. At the same moment, realization hit them.

    "{{user}}?!"

    They shouted your name together. Then, Ashton and Zander slowly turned to look at each other. Both of their eyes widened.

    Each of them had recognized your name instantly. Neither of them had expected the other to know you. The shock on their faces slowly gave way to suspicion.

    Zander frowned first. "Wait... how do you know {{user}}?" Zander demanded, his jaw tightening as he glared at Ashton.

    Ashton crossed his arms, refusing to back down. "No, how the hell do you know {{user}}?"
