Jung Chanwoo sits down on the closest chair, scratching his head nervously. This is the fourth time he's met his fiancé, his parents want him to marry someone rich and famous... specifically Chou Tzuyu of TWICE. Tzuyu walks into the room wearing a unique dress... if a person were to wear this dress in public, surely it would draw a lot of attention since it had a large spike on one shoulder... Tzuyu can pull off any dress though.
"Mr. Jung?" Tzuyu politely greets Chanwoo's father, although Chanwoo himself doesn't look up to his father at all... his family are gang leaders, and Chanwoo doesn't want to work as a con artist.
Tzuyu walks over to her fiancé and sits down, brushing her dress down elegantly. "So... shall we talk about the wedding, Jung Chanwoo?"

"I HATE HER!!!" Song Yunhyeong, Chanwoo's best friend, sits down on his best friend's bed. He always tries to be there for Chan when he's upset, but it's not easy since he's usually busy.
"I'm really sorry about your arranged marriage, Chan... is there anything-" Yunhyeong's phone dings, causing him to stop talking. "Oh... I'm meant to be meeting Daisy in 20 minutes! I should really get going..." Chanwoo rubs his forehead. Daisy, Yunhyeong's girlfriend, gets in the way too often, Yunhyeong always prioritises her... why can't he just spend some time with his best friend? Just 30 minutes? Why does he have to be meeting her all the time?

Chan is sat on his bed, reading a book of poetry that Junhoe gave to him. He throws it onto the floor and turns off the light after reading it for an hour. "Why does he only ever buy me poetry books? I guess I should just go to the library..." a sudden idea sparks in Chanwoo's mind. He picks up his phone quickly to send a message to Junhoe.

> You
Junhoe?

> Juneyyy
What do you want?

> You
Well... can you help me write a poem please?

> Juneyyy
No

> You
Whyyyy?

> Juneyyy
Because I can't

> You
But why?

> Juneyyy
I wish I could

> You
We have nothing on our band schedule right now, and it's 7 PM on a Monday.

> Juneyyy
I don't want to

> You
I have food

> Juneyyy
Be there in 5 xx

Chanwoo puts his phone down and sighs, knowing that if he doesn't serve Junhoe food he'll leave straight away. He walks to the kitchen to find some kind of snack, but Junhoe is already waiting there.
"AH!! You're here already?!" Chanwoo stares in shock. "I was in mine and Jinhwan's room," Junhoe rolls his eyes sassily, "Did you forget that we live together?" Chan sits down at the kitchen island, opposite Junhoe. "I thought you were out!" Junhoe isn't focusing on what Chan's saying at all, he's enjoying a burger. "Are you only just eating dinner?" "No, this is my supper" Chanwoo frowns... Junhoe was meant to be on a diet, but he loves food too much. "Anyway, Yunhyeong called me a few minutes ago." Chanwoo looks down to hide his upset, why didn't Yunhyeong ever call him? "He told me he's breaking up with Daisy, he wants to spend more time with y-" "WHAT??!! Why?!" Junhoe laughs, "you should have let me finish. He wants to spend more time with y-" before Junhoe can finish, Yunhyeong walks into the dorm. "Chan.. I have something to tell you..."

"So you broke up with her... f-for me??" Chanwoo and Yunhyeong are sat in Jiwon's room, Yunhyeong has just explained to Chan why he broke up with his girlfriend. "Yes! I was sad, I missed spending time with yo-" Chanwoo cuts Yunhyeong off, "Will you date me please?" Chan immediately puts his hand over his mouth, regretting his words. Yunhyeong's eyes widen, unsure of how to respond... "Hey!! Why are you in my room?!" Jiwon walks in, frowning. "S-Sorry Bobby... Jinhwan and Donghyuk are playing chess in mine and Chanwoo's room so we came in here to talk!!" Jiwon walks out without saying anything else. "What's up with him today?" Yunhyeong looks at Chanwoo, but he doesn't respond. "C-Chan??" Chanwoo suddenly walks out of the room, leaving Yunhyeong sat on Jiwon's bed.

"You asked him to be your boyfriend?!" Jinhwan stands next to Chanwoo as they wait for the bus to arrive. "Yeah... it was so stupid of me, I shouldn't hav-" Jinhwan suddenly laughs. "W-What?" Chan stares at the older boy, wondering how he could possibly be laughing in this situation. The bus pulls into the bus stop, Jinhwan walks over to it. "Come on, let's go home."
After Chanwoo spoke to Yunhyeong last night, he hasn't been able to face him so he sat with Jinhwan at the back of a cafe all day. Specifically Jinhwan's sister's cafe, she always gives them discounts and the cafe was cosy.

"Go away, I told you I don't want to!!!" Chanwoo really needs Junhoe to help him write a poem for Yunhyeong. This time it isn't to explain why he's upset, but to apologise. "I need to!! I said something really silly, he might not want to be my friend and I can't talk to hi-" Jinhwan is stood in the corner of the room, laughing. "Why do you keep laughing at me?!" "Because he loves you!!!" Chan suddenly turns around to face Jinhwan. "W-Who?" "Yunhyeong!!! He told me-" Chanwoo runs to his room, nearly crying.
"Why is he so mean to me?! Yunhyeong is like my brother, he doesn't love me in that way..." Chan is so busy deciding whether there's a possibility that Yunhyeong loves him that he doesn't notice Yunhyeong walk into their room. He leaves nearly as soon as he enters, but stays in for just enough time to slip a note onto Chanwoo's desk.

Chanwoo wakes up and looks around, he must have fallen asleep in Yunhyeong's bed last night... "huh?" Chan spots 2 notes on his desk, so he gets up to read them. A tear falls down Chanwoo's cheek as he reads the beautifully written poem on the first note. Then he reads the second note, explaining that Chanwoo fell asleep on the floor after crying last night, so Yunhyeong let him sleep in his bed.
"Did you like the poem?" Chanwoo jumps, he didn't realise Yunhyeong had walked into the room. "It was beautiful... and did we actually sleep in the same bed?" Yunhyeong laughs, "No, I slept in your bed. I hope that's ok... I thought you might have liked to sleep in my bed since it's bigger." Chan smiles warmly, feeling grateful for his amazing friend. Just friend... "by the way, I begged Junhoe to help me write a poem for ages but he's so stubborn!! I had to write it myself, it's so bad..." Chanwoo's eyes widen in surprise. "I asked Junhoe to help me write a poem too!!! I didn't write one in the end though..." Yunhyeong smiles brightly, "just the fact that you asked him makes me so happy... I love you, Chan!" "A-As a friend?" "No... as a boyfriend"

The next day, Chanwoo received a call from his parents. His arranged marriage with Tzuyu had been cancelled.

Yunhyeong and Chanwoo met by chance, but falling in love? That was fate.
