Mia here. Not MIA, Mia. And here's my story about the guy I found cute and tried numerous times to talk to finally talking to me. You'll be in for a ride with my best friends HImchan, Junhong and Jaz. There's the boy Daehyun too. And a couple of other unnescessary people coming along our way.

2:30pm. Packing up my belongings, Daehyun finally looks up again. “Don’t you want to submit that assignment on time? The faculty is a good ten minute walk from here.”

He sighed. “I haven’t finished this question yet.”

“Need a hand?”

“All good, I can do this.”

“You know, asking for help doesn’t make you look dumb.”

“I doubt you did the Finite Binomial Differentiation question.” Pink lips pursed into a thin line as he plotted the wrong numbers down, and this guy just doubt my skills in math. Hah!

“Oh, that one’s easy. You have a Facebook, right?” I asked, pulling my phone out of my bag.

His sceptical “yeah?” is all I needed.

“I watched this video that works through the question really well. The question wasn’t too different from the one we have.” Copy pasting the message I sent to another friend, I put my phone back in my pocket. “Let me know if you’re still stuck, I’ll send you a picture of my solution to guide you.”

A buzz of his phone had him tapping away at the screen. “You didn’t add me as a friend?”

“School work first, friendship later.” I smiled before stepping away. A single step outside the coffee shop broke my façade and here I am trying not to cringe at my actions. A gentle buzz on my bottom had me reaching for my phone, tapping away to see what the all the buzz was about. I stared at my screen as it sank in. Jung Daehyun has sent a friend request.

Can this be real? Another buzz drew my attention opening up the recent message my lips curled into a smile. “Thanks, this helped a lot Mia. See you around Mia :)”.

Jung Daehyun was officially my friend.
