"he hasn't really been talking to me the last two weeks," isla explained to jeno as they finished up another tutoring session. "his responses are so dry and he doesn't even watch the tiktoks i send him anymore."

"really? i thought he'd be over it by now. are things going good with you and sunwoo at least?"

"yeah, i actually really like him. like, we text all day and facetime every night and i've spent both weekends with him. but i feel like i need to end it on order to get my best friend back."

jeno almost pouted at the girls sadness. "no, i'll talk to him, alright? he really needs to get over himself."

isla nodded, "okay, sure. i'll text you."

the two said their goodbyes and isla began putting away all of the notes she was using.
