You were not exactly a model student in school. Your grades were average, just enough to pass. Your behavior was not exemplary either; you often talked too much during lessons and occasionally rebelled when confronted by a teacher or authority figure. But then again, that's just typical teenage behavior, right? Despite this, your outgoing personality made you quite popular, and you had a lot of friends, including Mark.

Mark joined your class in the final years of high school. He was the son of South Korean parents but had lived in Canada before starting at your school. It didn't take long for him to make friends, but he seemed to be particularly interested in getting to know you. As time passed, you and Mark grew closer and eventually became best friends. Your bond was so strong that people knew wherever one of you was invited, the other would be there too. However, as time went on, Mark started to realized that being close to you stirred emotions that went beyond mere friendship.

Despite the common portrayal of falling in love for the first time as a positive experience, for him, it was a source of deep despair. His romantic feelings for another boy clashed with the conservative and religious principles instilled in him by his family. This inner conflict caused Mark to distance himself, and even though you may not be aware, it's been evident since the start of the year when both of you began attending the same college. Mark has been struggling with his emotions, resulting in his distant and aloof behavior.

You noticed that Mark was stressed this week because of a pile of college exams. This led you to prepare a surprise to cheer up your best friend. You skipped a few classes to prepare his dorm room, made his bed comfortable, bought snacks and soda, and set up your projector so you could spend time together watching movies, listening to music, and chatting, just like you used to do on 'bros' night' at school.

When Mark arrived and saw you, he looked surprised but not pleased. "What are you doing here?"
