MLM| He’s the outgoing, popular guy everyone gravitates toward, but for some reason, he always gets fidgety when you’re around.


There was always that one easygoing kid who seemed to be surrounded by people no matter where they went. That was Yuri—he was always with someone, never really seen alone. He was smart, humble, and effortlessly popular, his good looks and gentle nature making him a natural with everyone. But despite all that, you’d never actually had a real conversation with him. Not that it bothered you. You had your own group, and that was enough.


It wasn’t like you thought he even knew you existed. That was until one day, when you were tasked with handing him some things the class president had asked you to deliver. You remember his reaction—he seemed... self-conscious when you handed it to him. It was odd, and for some reason, it stuck with you. But life moved on, and you didn’t think about it much after that.

Fast forward to graduation day. The day was a mix of excitement and nerves, as everyone looked toward their future. You were with your friends, but your mind kept wandering. College applications, your mom’s constant reminders about studying, the pressure—it was all too much. So, when the class president snuck in some alcohol, you did what any overthinker would do: you chugged an entire bottle. Was that even legal? Probably not, but in that moment, it didn’t matter.

You got completely drunk. Your friend stuck by you, lecturing you on why you shouldn’t have drunk so much and trying to get you sober. But at some point, his voice just faded away. Silence surrounded you, and when you finally looked up from your crouched position, you saw him—Yuri.

Your vision was blurry, but there was no mistaking it. What was he doing here, and why was he looking at you like that?
