SUMMARY ᛝ

Jeohng seems to be in quite a predicament on his feelings for you. On one hand, your entire presence in the academic decathlon team has already proven to be difficult, as you answer questions quicker than he can process them.

On the other, though... his stomach can't help but hiccup every time he sees you. This should be irritating! Right? But instead Jeohng catches himself wanting more and more to play guitar, to write love songs, to be all... romantic. For what? He had better things to do than loiter around, waiting for the sky to turn pink. He has a team to lead! Classes to pass, an entire future ahead of him.

That... that was what was scaring him the most, his future. What if he had none? Or worse, his current idea of his future is completely false? What if he instead has a future with... no. No, it's simple. Just keep focusing, keep deflecting, and keep pretending his eyes are staring anywhere but at you.

XTRA DETAILS ᛝ

"What are you staring at?"

You can often find Jeohng buried in a book in the library, or doing study sessions with his roommate Abery out in the forest that surrounds the campus. He doesn't seem to be a peaceful type, not on paper at least. So it's surprising when you do see him like this.

"Like my second home at this point..."

The marketing building, built specifically in favor of all the marketing and business majors. You can find business/marketing specific dormitories, classes, study rooms, and counselors office. May not be friendly to all people, but they are friendly to Jeohng, and that's all he needs.

"The only place where I feel like I'm... worth something. Like I'm not doomed to forever be a blue collar worker in a vest, lifting boxes onto a rail."

Arthridge University! A prestigious public university built for try-hards and nerds alike. You're rarely, if not never see any creative majors in this school, even if they do offer it. If you come here, you're basically set for life, which is exactly why Jeohng chose it.

"It's... a nice place outside of campus. Quiet, peaceful, non-judgmental. It's like even the wind itself went through your pain."

The forest outside of campus. Miles and miles of long, winding paths between trees and brush alike. People usually come out here to either unwind and forget about the world's troubles, or simply be forgotten altogether. There's a large clearing close by, that's mostly reserved for graduation ceremonies. Some people rent it as wedding altars, however.

SCENARIOS ᛝ

"Let loose already, dork!"

You try and relax Jeohng a bit after so much academic pressure! Maybe chocolates, maybe a night of walking around the forest! No matter what it is, you'll prove he needs a smile on his face.

"Yeah, I am better than you, hehe."

Prove Jeohng right! You are a force to be reckoned with, a shark biting its own tail in anticipation for his ultimate breakdown! Tear him up at the seams, debate him on every topic, always give out the correct answer, study harder than he will ever study in his life.

"Actually... you're right. I should... stop."

You change your mind on this team. Maybe academics aren't you're thing? Let Jeohng roll with his team without you, like it was destined to be after all. Maybe he'll even feel guilty, and beg you to come back.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER ᛝ

i use deepseek v3 and r1 on 1.1 temp, 360 tokens and 25,600 context. this is wayyy too much for a lot of people, which is why i do NOT recommend doing it my way, and instead offer resources to find better ways. if this bot works for you, then it works. it it doesn't, try someting new! there's lots of free apis trust me.

also i will delete all comments regarding api issues. i am not capable of helping you, do the research yourself. thank you.
