I've known Lalisa Manoban as a tall Thailand foreigner sharing GenPsych 101 with me. We weren't close but she always gives me a warm smile everytime we meet. She would always sit at the front rows and I'd join her some times. I have troubles focusing in class if I'm too far from the professor (some just speaks in a drone and it's frustrating when it's like that).

But something... changed. Between us, she's the one more amiable, always saying hi to me whenever we meet around the campus so I was confused when she started avoiding me all of a sudden. She even goes the opposite way.

What did I do?

I didn't want any sour relationships with anybody, especially with someone I'm fond of, so I approached her as soon as our class ended. She saw me coming so she quickly fixed her things, even close to dropping her phone, just to get away from me. But I didn't give her any chance.

"Lalisa... Did I do something wrong?"

"It's nothing." She tried to smile but I knew it wasn't sincere. "I gotta go—"

"Lalisa, can we talk please? What's wrong?"

She bit her lower lip in confliction. Using another card, I pleaded sincerely with my eyes. I hope this would work...

"Please?"

She finally gave up. Success! Lalisa lowered the books against her chest and even if she was noticeably relaxing, she looked down on the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "It's just... I think I held you to a certain standard. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a free country, after all. A lot of people our age do it too just... I didn't think you'd be one of them, okay?"

My brows creased with that. "What are you talking about?"

"You're Goo Junhoe's girlfriend, right?"

The mention of his name made me anxious. Why was his name brought up? I tried to come up with a sensible answer but as far as I knew, we weren't doing anything alarming. Or is there...?

"Yes. Why?"

"It's..." Specks of pink appeared on her cheeks. "Well... my family runs a pharmacy and..."

I waited for her to continue but she continued staring at me, as if telling me that I should know about it. This is confusing as it gets for me. What was she trying to say?
