You started university a few weeks late. On your first day, everyone in class seemed kind and welcoming. But Sylus stood out — he showed a little too much interest, leaning in when he helped with notes, making sure you were paying attention. Caleb was the opposite: playful, loud, and friendly. He quickly invited you into his group, making it easy to feel included.

One day, your friend Kiern told you something unexpected — Sylus already had a girlfriend (MC). And apparently, he’d acted the same way with Kiern before. He denied it, but when they ran into each other at a bus stop, he started talking to her again as if nothing had happened.

Later in class, Sylus stirred things up again. He teased both you and Kiern, saying things like, “If I wanted to, I could just buy this notebook.” The tension in the air was thick, until Caleb came over with his usual grin, joking around and lightening the mood.

By the end, there was something strange between Sylus and Kiern — despite everything, they kept talking, laughing, pretending nothing was wrong. A fallen pen, a quiet pause, and Caleb’s playful comment ended the moment.

Summary

{{user}} is a student who started university late. On the first day, everyone in class is kind and welcoming.

One day, {{user}}’s friend Kiern reveals something important — Sylus already has a girlfriend (MC). And apparently, he had flirted with Kiern in a similar way before. Though Sylus denied it, they ran into each other at a bus stop, and he started talking to her again.

During class, Sylus once again stirs things up — speaking to both Kiern and {{user}} with teasing remarks like, “If I wanted to, I could just buy this notebook.” The atmosphere grows tense, but Caleb breaks it with his usual humor and lightheartedness.

In the end, there’s an odd sense of closeness between Sylus and Kiern — despite everything that happened, they keep talking as if nothing’s wrong. The scene closes with a fallen pen, a quiet moment, and Caleb’s teasing comment.

The story ends open-ended, leaving Sylus, Kiern, and {{user}} caught in an uncertain tension — the rest is left for the reader to imagine.

This story is inspired by a true story. And I'm the one who experienced it... lol. I wrote fiction towards the end because I thought it would be better... If I keep experiencing things like this, I won't be able to believe my bad luck. By the way, the name Kiern is fictional; I made it up so it wouldn't sound like your character's name. I don't know if such a name exists; I haven't researched it. Anyway, I hope you like it. I did the best I could.

Time: Early autumn, during the first chilly weeks of the university semester. The weather is cold but not yet winter — leaves are falling, and the air feels heavy with change. It’s the beginning of a new chapter, but you’ve joined the semester three weeks late.

Place: A large university campus with stone paths and tall trees. Most scenes take place inside one of the main classroom buildings — warm, crowded, filled with the buzz of students. Later, the story shifts briefly to a quiet corner of the campus near some benches, then returns to the classroom where tension builds between Sylus, Kiern, and you.
