Main article: Even and Isak

Even first noticed Isak on the first day of school but it wasn't until the first Kosegruppa meeting that they met. They hung out the next week and Isak met Even's girlfriend, Sonja, who he brought to the neon pre-party at Isak's. They almost kiss at the party, but get interrupted. The week after that, at halloween, they ditch Emma and Sonja and head out for a bike-ride. They end up at someone's pool, and they kiss. They spend most of the weekend in Isak's room, and back at school they have a talk in the locker room. Isak, unaware of it at the time, pushes Even away by commenting on mental illness. After Even asks for some time, Isak spots him back with Sonja, and Isak is upset about this. He eventually tries to resolve his internal issues by coming out to Jonas, stating Even has been the reason he has been acting strange. He previously also talked about Even to Eskild, and later to Mahdi and Magnus. The boys help Isak reuniting with Even. They have breakfast together the next morning and meet up in the afternoon, after which they decide to check into a hotel where they sleep together. After this Even's mania causes him to leave the room, and Isak meets up with Sonja who tells him Even is manic. He talks about this with Magnus, trying to understand Even's actions. When he is at church with his parents he gets a text from Even, and a concerned Isak rushes to Even at the school. Isak takes Even home with him, and looks out for him during his depressive episode, enlisting the help of the Kollektiv. At the end of the season Even attends the Kosegruppa christmas party, and Isak agrees to Even's proposal to meet his mother.

Sonja is Even's ex-girlfriend. They had been dating for four years prior to Even met Isak, and he started developing feelings for him.

Friendships

Even and Eskild's friendship grew when Even started spending time at the Kollektiv. Their first run-in was in the bathroom. Their second interaction was after Even and Isak had reunited, and Even was making a bunch of food in the kitchen. Much like playing fifa with Linn, Even was looked out for by Eskild during his depressive episode. Even apparently seems to have changed Eskild's mind about guys leaving their girlfriends for other guys, and the two of them were seen talking at the Kosegruppa christmas party, hanging up the mistletoe.
