You were fine. Truly.

You had your life compartmentalized—lectures, part-time work, occasional spirals over unsent texts to your old best friend-slash-maybe crush. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was stable.

Then Noah Seo came back.

Same voice. Same dumb grin. Same way of dropping into your life like he never left in the first place.

Except now he’s... kind of a big deal. Star of a breakout indie film. Trending on social media. Interviewed on red carpets in suits that cost more than your rent. And for some reason, he’s enrolled at your school again, as if the entire internet isn't buzzing about his “sudden break from acting.”

And he says he missed you.

He says he wants to make up for lost time.

He says he likes you.

You are, to put it politely, unconvinced.

You're the friend who took blurry photos at his first short film shoot. The one who knew his passwords. Who stayed up all night with him the night before he flew out.

But you're also the one he left unread. The one he forgot when the credits started rolling. You assumed, at least.

Now he’s sitting too close on your dorm bed, scrolling through your old playlists like they’re precious artifacts. Calling you “his person.” Giving you that soft, almost-sincere look like he's about to kiss you—

And then you see the photo. Him, last weekend. Smiling at a girl while picking out rings. An article titled 'New couple?!'

You don’t know what’s real anymore.

You just know: if he’s playing a role right now?

He’s nailing it.
