Nanon walked in the corridor holding his mobile in his hand. There was a text from Kao asking him to meet near the bleachers of the sports ground. It's been more than two weeks since she has started hanging out with Ohm and his gang.

She always invited Nanon to hang out with them but he refused. She hesitated to go without him earlier but when Nanon asked her to make more friends and be happy, she did not hold back. Nanon was usually happy on his own.

He rolled his eyes and adjusted his glasses before typing a four letter reply 'Busy'.

He was about to shove the phone back in his pocket when he received a call from Kao instead.

"Am busy." He said instantly picking up in a calm tone.

[I have sprained my ankle Non. Can you please help me go home?] Kao sobbed on the other side of the line.

"What happened?" Nanon asked back concerned.

[I skipped a stair and twisted my feet on the grass due to heels.] Kao explained. [Please come fast Non.] she pleaded.

"I am on my way." Nanon replied and hurried to the sports ground.

Nanon first met Kao when he was 12 years old. They were in school together. Being a new nerd guy in school, Nanon had no friends. Kao on the other hand had been the most popular girl in school.

But somehow when the two got seated next to each other, they instantly became friends.

Kao feels comfortable with Nanon. Mostly because Nanon is like any other guy she met. He doesn't try to flirt with her. And Kao wasn't very good at being with other girls as they usually used to hate her for being center of attention for most of the boys.

Nanon on the other hand was indifferent towards Kao at first but gradually got used to being around her. Now he loves her. Kao knows Nanon very well. Though there is one thing that Kao is still unaware of. And that is Nanon's crush on the college stud Ohm since the first day he saw him.

A nerd guy having a crush on college stud is the gayest gay thing that could have happened to Nanon. And that's the exact reason why he doesn't want to be around him. He doesn't want to stereotype his feelings for Ohm.

Nanon is a bisexual. But he is not a relationship guy. But he likes Ohm because he had seen the side of Ohm which nobody else has seen. Which Ohm usually hides from entire school.

Ohm's parents got divorced when he was eleven. He was miserable and sad as a kid.

He moved in with his mother and that is when he had joined Nanon's old school. That time Ohm was a shy cute simple boy who used to stay in his own seat and study diligently not talking to anyone.

Nanon wanted to befriend him but was scared to do so. He tried to find an opportunity to do so for 1 whole year.

One day when Nanon decided to talk to Ohm, he walked to him and was about to tap his shoulder when suddenly the principal called him.

Nanon got to know about his mother's sudden death. After that Nanon took a break for a few months and then switched schools as well. That's where Nanon's happy, joyful life ended. Without his mother around, and his father always busy with work, Nanon had no one to ever talk to around him.

On top of that his father was always sick. Kao was the only friend and reason for smile in Nanon's life till the time he joined this university.

Situations led Nanon to switch from another university to this one after his father remarried and started living with his wife separate, Nanon was bound to hold on to sponsorship for finishing his studies.
