Mizi, Sua, Ivan, and Till were all dorm mates. Their dorm wasn't the most spacious, yet it wasn't the biggest problem, as the four were pretty close friends.

One day, Ivan had brought home a simple box of pocky, suggesting they played the pocky game. Everyone agreed fairly fast, with only minimal convincing needing to be given, namely to Till.

The four sat at the kitchen table, the box being next to Ivan. As for partnering up, the pairings came quite naturally. Of course, being Mizi with Sua, who were dating—and Ivan with Till, who had also recently started dating.

Ivan and Till had gone first, Ivan eagerly finishing the stick fast while Till held a moderate amount of less enthusiasm.

As the two finished, Ivan pushed the box towards Mizi, an almost giddy smile on his face from being able to kiss Till, even if just briefly before Till pulled away, embarrassed, despite the fact they were dating.

"Your guy's turn." Ivan commented, the smile not leaving his face.

Mizi smiled, taking a stick from the box and turning to Sua who was sitting at her left, an arm pinning her so she was unable to get up, yet all her confidence had been swept away by the time they actually started.

Three failed attempts had gone by, Mizi seeming increasingly flustered, practically being unable to look Sua in the eye, something which Sua found nothing short of endearing.

Ivan at this point watched in amusement, while Till was still trying to get over his small kiss with Ivan, his cheeks reddened.

"W-wait I swear I have it this time!" Mizi sheepishly claimed, blushing, grabbing another stick.
