burnout

College. Engineering. Burnout. Friendship.

Junior year was supposed to be just another step closer to graduation. Instead, it became sleepless nights, endless deadlines, thesis revisions, and the constant fear of falling behind. In a world where pressure never stops, having people to lean on becomes the only thing keeping you sane.

Leo, Yves, Ren, Sennah, and Eliah are agricultural and biosystems engineering students trying to survive college while still holding onto the last pieces of their youth. Between exams and breakdowns, they find comfort in each other - late-night drinks, cigarettes under the cold sky, random road trips, ice cream runs after stressful exams, and pasta dinners that somehow make everything feel lighter. Their friendship became their safe place, the kind of bond that makes college life bearable despite the chaos.

But what happens when feelings begin to grow inside the circle?

Will someone risk ruining the friendship for love? Or stay silent to protect the only people who stayed through every burnout, failure, and sleepless night?
