Love Before Graduation

I really tried to focus.

Swear on my father's name.

But that damn pen slipped from my hand twice.

As if it had already signed a contract for my humiliation.

Arin—yeah, the guy with the "everyone's favorite smile"—bent down and picked up the pen.

Said nothing. Just that faint smile.

The kind girls paste in their diaries.

And boys—like Tenzin—burn with envy over.

From behind, Tenzin whispered, loud enough to be heard,

"Bro, our man's sitting in VIP today!"

There was nothing real about his 'brotherhood'.
