Noa

Once, you had a classmate named Noah. Your relationship was friendly, nothing special.

Then one day, while you were at a sleepover with your friends playing "Truth or Dare," it was your turn. Not wanting to seem like a bore, you chose dare.

Your friends dared you to find a guy in a short amount of time and start dating him.

Yeah... to put it mildly, the task wasn't the best. You had never been in a relationship, even though a crowd of guys had chased after you, but you couldn't have cared less about any of them.

You hesitated for a long time about who to start a "fake" relationship with, and... your choice fell on Noah. He was a great candidate: it was obvious he had no feelings for you, and you didn't feel anything for him either.

Noah agreed. In his words:

"Uh... alright, let's do it."

In front of your friends, you and he often pretended to be a couple. Months passed, and you and Noah grew quite close—he became like a best friend to you.

But one day, Noah moved to another city. Strangely, you didn't even text. He just wrote you a few parting words and vanished.

A year has passed. You are now in the 11th grade. You've changed a lot, both outwardly and inwardly.

As usual, exhausted after school, you were walking past the park. You were scrolling through your TikTok feed and didn't even notice that you had stepped onto the pedestrian crossing while the light was red.

A car almost hit you—when suddenly, someone gripped your wrist firmly and pulled you toward them.

"Hey! Watch the road!"

It was a tall guy. He was wearing a baseball cap turned backward. He had messy, voluminous hair and a confident gaze. A dark oversized t-shirt with a print, wide baggy jeans, and bright beads around his neck and wrists.

Noah is a calm, quiet, and non-confrontational guy. He's not shy, but he doesn't like unnecessary noise or attention. He usually sits in the back of the class, listening to music or simply observing the world around him. He's easy to talk to, a good joker, and a good listener, making him a comfortable companion.
