It's always you | Chaerji

Chapter 8: Cherish

"Have you already checked up on the recent orders of books for the library, Yeonjun?"
Yeji asked the pink-haired boy as she went through the tons of paper piles on her desk for the very last time, ensuring herself she didn't miss anything important, just in case.

"Of course, I already have." Yeonjun answered, folding his arms in front of his chest. He softly spoke while his gaze was on the blond haired girl. "I'm taking care of it since it never seems like you're getting a break for yourself."

"Okay, I got it. I will work on that." Yeji simply replied, while staring at him unenthusiastically back. "It's not like I'm not thankful for you, alright?" She sarcastically raised an eye brow.

Honestly, Yeji was grateful for having the pink haired boy as a reliable partner and Vice President to work with in the student council. Knowing that there aren't many people who can pull off such immense work, she appreciated the boy's efforts even more, even though she, herself, was one of those kind of people.

"Oh, don't be harsh on her, Yeonjun. Even though, I kind of get you." Lia joined in the middle of their conversation, slightly chuckling. "She's already doing her best since day one when she was selected as the President." She added, getting an deniable smirk from her best friend in return.

"I know, I know. Forget it, I was probably just worrying without a real reason." Yeonjun shrugged off, as his eyes averted onto the clock hanging next to the entrance door of the student council. "Anyways, the books will be delivered the next week, probably on Wednesday if I can remember it clearly."

"Phew, that's honestly faster than expected."

"You're right. Though, originally it was planned that the worn out and old books should have been replaced long ago." Lia mentioned, though she actually didn't seem that interested in paper work since she was more on the active and practical side of the student council.

"Unfortunately, we kind of lost sight of it last time because of the other preparations." Yeji explained herself, though she knew it didn't completely justify the overall reason.

"Either way, from this point of time going onwards, the librarian and a few volunteers will take care of putting the books in order." The boy exclaimed, stretching his body slightly since they had a little longer meeting than usually. "We will just put up a volunteer list on the black table in the hallways. This will probably do."

"Fine. Then, we can call it a day for now." Yeji announced, being relieved that everything was taken care of and discussed throughly. The tall girl got up from her seat and faced her best friend and the pink haired boy. "Good work today, everybody."

Lia nodded, then she turned to the boy. Giving him her attention, as she asked. "Are you going to meet up with your boys now as always?"

Yeonjun hummed, smiling. "You two wanna join us getting some snacks from the supermarket three blocks away? Beomgyu just happened to get a discount from his father."

"It would be nice to get a reward, especially after this meeting, though I have to refuse." Yeji put the rest of the sheets in order, packing them in her black-white bag. Black has always been her favorite color since she was a young child. Even though, many people may say it's kind of a sad and upsetting color, she still liked it. "There's something important coming up any moment, and I have to be there, you know."

"Huh? More important than your beloved snacks? I mean, what about your Cheetos?" Yeonjun smirked and faked a shocked expression since he knew very well about Yeji's unhealthy love, or maybe also called addiction to snacks. Though, Yeji only smilingly shook her head in disagreement.

"Yeah, Yeonjun. More important than simple snacks. I already agreed."

"I have to decline too. Ryujin's match will start after the short break." Lia finally replied, scratching the back of her head. "I don't know about Yeji, but I promised her to come."
