comparing notes.
@gossipfest
he's not sure exactly what kept ethan out of their anatomy and physiology lecture last week, whether it was illness or scheduling conflict or ethan just simply didn't want to go to class that day, but the other student's presence was sorely missed. yul isn't the most outgoing guy, he doesn't make friends everywhere he goes, so the quiet camaraderie he's built up with the guy who just happened to sit next to him on day one means more to him than it probably should. it's why he doesn't think twice about sharing his notes when ethan texts him requesting a copy. but, again for some reason, ethan can't seem to meet up in person to pick them up.
yul isn't as much of a fan of soyi as he is her brother. she has an intense aura about her, a quiet menacing presence hidden behind bright smiles and a pretty face. if he's being honest, she kind of scares him! and it's embarrassing to admit that a big, strong man like himself could be intimidated by a girl who is definitely more bark than bite. still, it's for ethan, so he agrees to meet up with soyi on campus to hand off his notes.
"is your brother okay?" he asks, not meeting the girl's eyes and instead rummaging through his backpack for the carefully transcribed notes for his classmate. "it's not like him to miss class." is he avoiding me? yul can't help but wonder, a bit of anxiety creeping into the back of his mind despite how he does his best to ignore it. no, that's not likely. ethan is a nice guy, an honest one; he would say something if he didn't want to see yul anymore. plus, why would he ask for his notes otherwise? it's not like yul is some godly notetaker.
"tell him i'll see him in class on tuesday. if he's there." he hands over the papers, still not quiet looking at soyi directly like a timid dog afraid of being perceived. "i hope everything's good."
