Adria Became Suho’s Girlfriend with Support from Her Best Friend, Mia

Prompt: Adria became Suho’s girlfriend with support from her best friend, Mia,

Adria had always been the type of girl who blended into the background. She preferred the solace of a good book, nestled in a cozy corner of her favorite café, to the chaos of high school social life. Her best friend, Mia, on the other hand, was a vibrant whirlwind of energy. Mia was the kind of girl everyone wanted to be around—funny, adventurous, and undeniably charming. Despite their contrasting personalities, they were inseparable, finding comfort in their friendship and providing balance in each other’s lives. It was a rainy afternoon when everything changed. The café was abuzz with the sound of laughter and the clinking of coffee cups. Adria sat at their usual table by the window, flipping through the pages of a novel, when Mia burst in, shaking off the rain like a wet puppy. Adria looked up, mildly irritated at the disruption but quickly softened by Mia’s infectious smile. “I have an idea!” Mia exclaimed, dropping her wet coat onto the chair with a dramatic flourish. “You know that guy, Suho, from our history class? The one with the killer smile?” Adria felt her heart skip a beat at the mention of Suho. He was everything she was not—charismatic, outgoing, and the unwitting ruler of the school’s social scene. She tried to quell the flutter in her stomach. “Yeah, what about him?” Mia leaned forward, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “What if we tried to get you two to, I don’t know, hang out? Maybe go for coffee or something? You can’t just sit here with your books forever!” Adria shook her head, a nervous laugh escaping her lips. “Mia, he wouldn’t even notice I’m alive. Why would he want to hang out with me?” Mia rolled her eyes playfully. “That’s where you’re wrong! You’re amazing, Adria. You just need to step out of your comfort zone. Trust me, a little nudge from your favorite cheerleader will do wonders.” Despite her reservations, Mia’s enthusiasm was infectious, and Adria found herself thinking about Suho more often in the days that followed. With each tentative glance in the hallway or every time their eyes briefly met in class, her heart raced. Could she really make a move? Could she really allow herself to feel something—anything—for someone like Suho? Over the next week, Mia plotted and schemed, turning Adria’s life into a reality show of sorts. Mia would approach Suho with casual conversations, dropping Adria’s name. “Oh, did you see what Adria posted about that book? It’s so interesting! You should totally talk to her about it sometime.” Every time Mia mentioned Adria, she did so with a flair that made it seem like they had a connection, allowing Adria to slip further into Suho’s orbit bit by bit. One day, as they were leaving school, Mia pulled Adria aside. “Okay, it’s time. We’re inviting Suho to the beach this Saturday. It’s going to be epic! And you’re coming.” Adria gulped. “What if he says no?” “Then we’ll drag him along! Trust me, Adria, you have to believe in this!” Mia offered her friend a reassuring grin. “He’s gonna love you!” The idea terrified Adria, but she felt a spark of excitement mixed with fear swirl in her stomach. With Mia’s support, Adria decided to step out of her comfort zone for once. She would at least try. Saturday arrived, warm and sunny, and Adria was a bundle of nerves. Mia pulled her to a nearby boutique, insisting on a new outfit. Adria stood in front of the mirror, nervously adjusting her top. “What if I mess this up? What if he doesn’t like me?” Mia placed her hands on Adria’s shoulders and turned her to face her. “You’re overthinking it! Just be yourself. Suho’s going to see the amazing person you are. Trust me, just let the day flow.” With Mia’s unwavering support, Adria finally understood. She didn’t have to become someone else just to be with Suho; she only had to be herself. With that thought, she took a deep breath and headed to the beach, her heart thumping in her chest. When they arrived, the sun was shining, the waves crashing gently on the shore. The two girls spotted Suho laughing and chatting with a group of friends. Adria’s stomach twisted nervously. But Mia was already marching over, pulling Adria along by the hand. “Suho!” Mia called out, grinning widely. “Guess who’s here!” Suho turned towards them, his smile brightening as he caught sight of Adria. “Hey! I didn’t expect to see you here!” He walked over, casually brushing sand from his hair. Adria felt her cheeks flush but managed a shy smile. “Yeah, um… Mia dragged me along.” Mia nudged her playfully. “She’s here because she wants to have fun! Isn’t that right, Adria?” With a quick exhale, Adria felt the ease of becoming part of a shared experience as they laughed and joked along with the group. As the sun dipped lower, casting long shadows on the sand, Suho and Adria found a moment alone, away from the noise. “You know, you’re really interesting,” Suho said, his voice gentle. “I’ve noticed you in class. You have great insights, even if you don’t always share them.” Adria blinked, surprised. “You’ve noticed me?” “Of course. I think you’re amazing. I’d love to hang out more, just us. What do you say?” Her heart raced with a mix of disbelief and excitement. “I’d like that.” And just like that, in the glow of the setting sun, Adria realized that she wasn’t just the quiet girl hiding behind her books anymore. With Mia’s encouragement, she had taken a leap of faith, and it felt like the beginning of something beautiful.
