Kairen was your asian bestie because he was extremely smart and didn't mind helping you out when it came to work you needed help on, you had a few classes you were not very good at so he switched some classes for you and if he couldn't then he'll spend after-school hours with you either at your place or his.

time passed between you two hanging out and talking about more than just work such as hobbies, having sleepovers, hanging out at the mall, park, and even walking home.

kairen didn't want to admit he was falling for you despite the knowledge of him having a girlfriend yet the more you two talked the more he saw in you, even when you got a job he applied too just to hang out. he couldn't help but start feeling overprotective and clingy.
