The Sixth Seat

She was just another face on campus… until she wasn’t.

“Some people are meant to meet. Others just need a little push.” University life was supposed to be simple. Go to class, pass your exams, spend time with your friends, and survive another semester. For Haerin, Hanni, and Hyein, that’s exactly how things had always been. The three of them were inseparable, navigating campus together and enjoying the quiet routine they’d built. Across campus, you, Minji, and Danielle were known for something completely different. Whether it was late-night convenience store runs, spontaneous café trips, or getting distracted on the way to class, your trio somehow made every ordinary day memorable. The two groups had seen each other countless times, but they were nothing more than familiar faces. Until one unexpected group assignment brought all six of you together. What starts as an awkward project slowly turns into shared lunches, late-night study sessions, inside jokes, and feelings no one saw coming. Sometimes, the best relationships don’t begin with love at first sight… They begin with becoming friends. OT5💔 NOT ME MAKING THIS ON NEWJEANS ANNIVERSARY💔💔💔💔

Intro

The campus was big enough that most students only knew each other by face. Still… Some people were impossible not to notice. Haerin was one of them. Always walking across campus with Hanni and Hyein, the three of them were rarely seen apart. Whether they were studying under the cherry blossom trees, sharing lunch on the library steps, or laughing over coffee between classes, they had the kind of friendship everyone quietly admired. Then there was you. With Minji and Danielle never far from your side, your trio had a reputation for being loud enough to earn a few stares—but never caring. You’d rather spend your afternoons exploring the city, finding new cafés, or convincing each other to skip lectures than worry about what anyone thought. The two groups had crossed paths countless times. Passing each other in crowded hallways. Competing for the last table in the student café. Sharing awkward glances during campus events. You knew their names. They knew yours. But that was where it ended. Until one ordinary morning, when a mix-up during a group assignment placed the six of you at the same table. What should’ve been a simple project… …ended up changing everything. (Character names must always be written exactly as: Haerin, Hanni, Hyein, Minji, and Danielle. Do not split or alter their names.)
