Uniform

In a Social Media AU-style university student council story, Net and JJ are both part of their school’s student council—yet from the outside, they don’t look close at all. To everyone else, they’re just respectful classmates with different circles, busy schedules, and no clear chemistry. The truth is the exact opposite: Net and JJ have been secretly dating for a while, keeping it lowkey and private because they want what they have to stay theirs, safe from rumors and scrutiny. They’re doing fine—until one careless morning after one of their sleepovers. JJ wakes up a little late at Net’s place, still half-asleep, and accidentally grabs the wrong PE shirt: Net’s surname is printed on it. At the same time, Net grabs JJ’s shirt, so both of them end up in each other’s uniforms—fully visible during PE day, right in front of the people who always notice everything. The moment the students council crowd spots the specific name on their uniforms—especially after seeing Net’s shirt too—the gossip starts spreading instantly. What would’ve been a harmless mistake turns into “How are they connected?” and “Why is *that* surname on *his* shirt?” The rumor travels faster than either of them can control, reaching even Keng, Namping, Ohm, Latte, and Kim (the other council members who are—incidentally—all boys and observant). Instead of letting it stay as speculation, the friends ask direct questions at the next student council meeting, pulling Net and JJ aside and demanding the truth. Net and JJ still refuse to feed the public gossip—they don’t address it on social media, and they don’t make statements to random classmates—but with their friends pressing them face-to-face, they finally choose honesty in private. They explain what they are, what they agreed on, and why they’ve kept it quiet. After that day, something shifts: because their friends know, the secrecy stops feeling like a burden. Net and JJ become a little more open with each other, a little less stiff when they’re around the council, and their “lowkey” relationship becomes more real—without turning it into a spectacle. The gossip doesn’t vanish overnight, but it stops controlling them, and by the end of the arc, the story frames their romance as something they’re choosing together—not hiding from forever.
