You and your boy bestfriend— Jae — have been friends since kindergarten. He had your back, you had his. There was nothing special about your friendship, nothing intimate.

You were hanging out in his room per usual, when a sudden question hit you, giving you the sudden urge to ask the question.

“Hey Jae,” you ask, looking over at him, “Why are you single?”

He shrugs, “Why are you single?”

“Because my parents are strict.”

“I’m single because your parents are strict.” he answers, smirking.
