"So, Mark, do you really not recognize me or are you just ignoring your childhood best friend?"
When her best friend moved to Korea to become an idol, their contact died down and they soon started living lives completely separate from one another...

Snuggled up under a blanket, Gyuri sat behind her desk while she scrolled through some notes on her laptop. A few candles were lit in her room and a (now empty) cup of tea stood on her desk.
It was a gloomy day with lots of rain and big clouds hanging over the city. She had been inside all day and had been studying and taking breaks on and off. She noticed her brain getting tired, however, and knew that she didn't have much energy left to put into studying before she had to stop for the day.
So she studied for a little while longer before she eventually closed her books and fell onto her bed with an exasperated sigh. She closed her eyes for a moment to fully let herself relax. She wrapped the blanket around herself tightly, sighing blissfully at the comfort it provided.
Then, she got up again and cleaned out her desk, for the most part, to get rid of the mess that she made while studying. Even though she was an organized person and usually had quite a clean room, things could get quite messy during a study session with notes, books, and pens scattered all over her desk.
She went down to the living room, where she noticed her phone on the couch, where she had left it to minimize the number of distractions around her when she studied. She picked it up and noticed some messages, the most recent ones from Ruby.
Ruby 💋

Gyuri smiled, excited to see the guys and Ruby again. She then glanced down at her outfit and remembered that she never planned to go out today, so she had to put in a little bit of work if she wanted to look presentable. The hours of studying had turned her hair into a pathetic-looking bun and her outfit consisted of worn-out sweats with an old pink T-shirt that seemed more fitting for a child than it did for her, but she wore it nonetheless.
She hurried upstairs and browsed through her closet quickly before pulling out some light jeans, a belt, and a plain white T-shirt. She did a very basic makeup look to cover up some spots that had appeared due to all the stress and to make herself look less tired than she was. Her hair was a hopeless case, since she hadn't washed it in a while and hadn't done anything with it the last few days but put it into buns and ponytails, so she just pulled it into a low bun and took some front pieces out in the hopes that it would look okay.
