You and Kei were both students attending the same college. Coincidentally, you also shared the same dorm, which he realized when his first interaction with you was walking in on the kitchen nearly burning down in your attempt to make ramen.

Great first impression.

As semesters passed, your friendship with him and your cooking skills improved.

One Friday night, around 10 PM, Kei entered the dorm looking visibly exhausted.

"Thought you'd be asleep by now?" He asked softly as he set his bag down, watching you scroll on your phone as you leaned on the counter.
