The Yule Ball is coming up, and Kenji knows he should be excited. Well, he is, to some degree. But a big part of him is feeling nervous, so nervous that it overpowers the excitement he’s feeling. And he does have great reason to be feeling nervous. People have already started picking their dates. Only today he witnessed at least 6 people being asked out. Safe to say, Kenji is stressed, constantly worrying that someone will come before him in asking out his long-time crush — Chai, a fifth year Ravenclaw. He needs a plan and he needs it soon.
“Jae,” he whines out. He’s in his dormitory room, shared with his best friend since childhood, Jaebeom. The two have just retreated, about to go to bed, which Kenji figures is as good of a time to ask for advice as any.
“You know the Yule Ball is coming up.” He’s sure his friend can already tell where this is going. For quite some time now, Kenji has been gushing about Chai almost daily, always talking about how cute the Prefect is. It surprises him that Jae still puts up with it, honestly. “I wanna ask Chai,” he confesses, his cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. “But I don’t know how to do it. I need help. Please, will you help me think of something?”
