Stuck

5

It was time for final exams, every student was engaged in mugging up the entire course just before the night of the exam. Though exams bring sleepless nights and tension, it is fun in its own way.

Nayeon and Jeongyeon were getting close to each other day by day. But like every other student, they also jumped into the ocean of endless reading and started preparing for the exam. They both decided to study together so that they don't get bored and can complete the syllabus fast, they allotted time slabs for each module and they would solve each other's queries after completion of each module.

When the exams started, they would study the whole night and would occasionally call each other if they have any doubt on the day of the exam. But the funny thing was, exam query was just an excuse for Jeongyeon to talk with her. She loves to hear her voice over the phone. So just to talk to her, she would call her to discuss the silliest problems. One day they were conversing over the phone in the middle of the night to understand the concept of a topic and they both ended up talking about their feelings instead. 

It was for the first time that they talked to each other for nearly more than an hour. She cared too much about her. She would always call her to wake her up from a short nap that she took after getting exhausted from all the studying. She always woke up with a big fat smile on her face as hers was the first voice she would hear every morning. It kind of made her day a whole lot better.

Nayeon had a habit of revising all the modules in the morning before exams, she and her friends would meet at the college a few hours before the exam and would go through every topic once, but that was like a roller coaster ride for Jeongyeon as she had never revised at such speed. 

And even though they both have gone through each and every chapter before the night of the exam, she would still panic on the day of the exam. So, just to calm her down, she would personally revise with her and remind her of all the important points and leave her own revision.

Days soon passed by and it was the day of the last exam. Everyone was happy as exams were finally over, except Jeongyeon and Nayeon. College was the only thing which gave them chance to meet each other every day. Before the last day, she had planned to give a little gift to her. It was a small badge with "I'll Be There for You" words printed on it. 

It was from her favorite tv show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It was very small, so she was confused about how to hand her the badge. At last, she decided to make a small paper bag to wrap it up. She worked for four hours continuously to make that paper bag. She didn't even care about reading for the last exam.

The next day after the completion of exams, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, and their friends went to take lunch to celebrate. She wanted to put that badge in Nayeon's bag secretly to surprise her, but he didn't get any chance. So, she decided to give it personally to her and when she saw the gift, she was awestruck and screamed: "Wow! It's wonderful". 

She loved the badge but she refused to accept it. She said that she can't accept a gift without any reason. She tried to convince her but she wouldn't budge. At last, she agreed to take it only on one condition that she would have to accept the money for the badge. She didn't want to take it but she had no choice but to take it and that's how their last day of exam ended.

"I like liking you,
I can't do what I want, I only want to see you."
