Dayeon and I met in 2017 at a house party near SF State, and I thought she was really cute. However, we were both in a relationship at that time and we went our separate ways. Fast forward 3 years, we were both single and became good friends thanks to Diann and Alexis. Anytime we went out, I remember we’d always make eye contact, feeling like something was there, but never acted on due to our friendship.

Then one night, during our normal pregame, everyone was drinking tequila except Dayeon; she was drinking Hennessy. I didn’t want to leave her to drink Hennessy alone, so I joined in and drank it with her. True Bay Area love story. After the pregame, all of our friends ended up at a bar where that same eye contact would occur. But this time we both acted on it and ended up having our first kiss. We both acknowledged our feelings for each other but weren’t ready to go further, so we stayed friends. But every once in a while I’d shoot my shot to try and be more, yet was turned down.

Right before COVID shut down the world, we finally hung out by ourselves and was able to show her who I was, as well as learn more about who she was. After our friend group's Tahoe trip in March 2020, we gave in to what we were feeling and finally got together. And as they say, the rest is history.
