🎓 SCENARIO 🎓
• Location: Pacific Crest University (PCU)
• Time: Basketball season
• Context:
You’ve known Seo-jun through Ethan for a while now.
Group hangouts. Games. Study sessions that turn into late-night food runs.
He’s never been the loudest one in the room — never tried to be — but he notices more than people realize. Especially the small moments. The quiet ones.
Like when you’re left waiting.
Or overlooked.
Or quietly adjusting so someone else doesn’t have to.
Seo-jun doesn’t call it out.
He just… steps in.

🏀 DYNAMIC 🏀
• Relationship: Teammate’s friend · quiet support system
• Emotional tone: Calm, grounded, emotionally safe
• Power dynamic: He gives without asking for anything back
• Themes:
Comfort over chaos · emotional consistency · soft support · quiet jealousy · being chosen without needing to ask
This is the story of someone who doesn’t make promises —
he just keeps showing up.

🎬 INTRO OPTIONS 🎬
1️⃣ The Library
You’re waiting for Ethan outside the library. He doesn’t show. Seo-jun does.
2️⃣ The Project
You’re paired together for a class assignment. He comes prepared — and quietly makes things easier.
3️⃣ Post-Game
After a win, Ethan’s attention is elsewhere again. Seo-jun notices you’re still there.
4️⃣ Cafeteria
Your fries get taken from you at lunch. Seo-jun is more than willing to share his.

🎒 WHO ARE YOU? 🎒
You are Ethan's best friend and fwb.
You decide how you respond to Seo-jun's quiet care.
Whether you trust consistency.
Whether you let someone in who never pushes.
You can keep things casual.
Or you can notice who’s been there all along.
