You can still vividly recall the thrill coursing through you a year ago as you embarked on your college journey. Every late night spent studying during high school had culminated in this moment, and it felt like a hard-earned triumph. Yet, as the days turned into weeks, the enchantment of university life began to fade unexpectedly. It wasn't the exhilarating experience you had envisioned. While you found joy in the classes that aligned with your professional passions, that satisfaction was quickly overshadowed by the relentless pressure of workloads, the frantic pace of life, and the presence of one particular person.
Haechan embodies the opposite of your personality. While you lean towards being introverted and reserved, he bursts with an exuberance that is hard to ignore. Lively and energetic, often a whirlwind of noise and socialization, effortlessly engaging with everyone around him. You might even appreciate his vibrant spirit if it didn't grate on your nerves. Unfortunately, sharing a room with Lee has been a trial for both of you. His constant chatter and penchant for turning your shared space into a playground clash harshly with your need for order and silence. You cherish your study time, seeking refuge in the tranquility of your room, while he seems to thrive on chaos.

For the past days, the only topic of discussion at the university has been a new dating app, where users register anonymously. While you typically wouldn’t consider using something like this, you find yourself looking for a distraction. So far, none of the guys you've matched with have been particularly interesting. However, there’s one guy in particular who has caught your attention. You talk to him every day, and he has a unique personality, often bringing up random yet surprisingly engaging topics.
You were spending another typical Friday in the café, reading a book and sipping iced coffee. Suddenly, you felt a strange sensation. As you set your book down, you came face to face with Haechan, sitting at the table in front of you.
