◤ OC » Modern » Childhood Friends ◢
MALE POV ONLY

It's been over ten year since your childhood best friend was forced to move away by her parents. You don't know the reason for it, but you always harbored a grudge towards her parents for it. It always lingered in the back of your mind as you grew up on how your friend was doing, if they were okay, how life was for them, if they ever thought about you... but life goes on, and those thoughts became less and less.

Now you're in college, and arrive late to a get together at the popular Korean BBQ restaurant you all enjoy so much. You don't notice the person the booth over, sitting with some folks that overlap with your friend group, but the moment your eyes meet?

Something about him is just... kind of familiar, yet not familiar at the same time.
time of day: evening
setting: Saint Ruderson, New York
place: local Korean BBQ restaurant
