Sung_Hanbin127: Any tips and tricks on how to get Zhang Hao to like me?

gossssipzbo: give up now :/ hes the most popular guy on campus and he really doesnt talk to many others romantically… his standards are INCREDIBLY high and youd need a lot to offer to even strike a date with him. hes smart, handsome and talented in every way.

Sung_Hanbin127: That wasn’t a tip or trick

gossssipzbo: ok fine. hes a tutor for some math classes and you could probably get him alone for an hour or so if you sign up

Sung_Hanbin127: Thank you.

Kim Gyuvin: so
