"See Sunwoo, even fate is on our side!" Seoyeon placed her head on her hand

"See Sunwoo, even fate is on our side!" Seoyeon placed her head on her hand.

Sunwoo simply rolled his eyes.

"Here," she held out her phone, Sunwoo looked her up and down in confusion, "your number—for the project."

Sunwoo closed his eyes and sighed, grabbing her phone and typing in a number.

"Only text me about the project. I mean it."

"We will see about that," She mumbled, "so what planet would you like to do?"

"I don't care."

"Hmm," she hummed, "how about Venus."

"Fine."

"Great! Um slight problem though." Seoyeon said, scratching her head.

"Hmm?"

"We can't work at my house ."

"Well we can't work at mine either."

"What? Why? I have an actual reason." Seoyeon crossed her arms.

"Really? And what is it? You want to see my house?" Sunwoo sarcastically suggested.

"No." She glared, "My mom is a caregiver, and she has to watch over a little girl for a couple days. We aren't aloud to have company."

"Oh," he looked away, "well we still can't go to my house."

"If you can give me a better reason than 'you simply not wanting me at your house' than I'll find a way to sneak you into the girls dormitory."

Sunwoo remained quiet, at lost of words, but not changing is bland expression.

"I thought so, I'll have Juyeon send me the address, I'll see you later, at 6, Woo!" Seoyeon waved off, leaving the classroom.

Technically, she wasn't supposed to leave the class early, but she was excited.

The fact that fate really helped her by having a strict dorm leader, her mom being a caregiver, the school library being under construction, and being partner up with her first love—it really was crazy.

Seoyeon went to her dorm room, already doing research for her project.

She wanted to look smart in front of Sunwoo, even if she already knew a lot about astronomy. Especially Venus.

Venus; the planet of love.

After about 4 hours of doing work, and occasionally drifting off into daydreams, Seoyeon realized it was finally time for her little 'study sesh' with Sunwoo.

She packed her bag, not forgetting to grab her laptop, and went on her way.

Already two steps ahead of herself, she had previously called Juyeon and receive his address not long after she found out she was going.

He didn't live too from the dorms, only a few stops.

And he lived closer to her house than she thought.

She always knew he lived nearby, being that they went to the same high school, and the college was in the same town as the high school.

But she never knew exactly where.

But here she finally was, standing where she thought she would never be.

She knocked three times, waiting patiently for a response.

A sigh could be hear right before the door opened, revealing a tired looking Sunwoo.

"Come in." Sunwoo voiced listlessly.

"Gladly!"

She followed behind Sunwoo, who was walking ever so slowly.

"Where are we going?"

"My room."

"Oh no, that's fine." She rubbed her neck, "how about we just work in the living room." She smiled awkwardly, pointing to the sofa.

"Um...okay..." he held out, making a scrunched face.

He threw himself on the couch, and she sat a few feet away from him. As far as she possibly could.

"What are you doing?" Sunwoo rose a brow.

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything, so I thought it would be best for me to sit on the opposite side."

"That's an awesome idea, but now I can't even see the screen." He pointed to her laptop, which was heating up her lap.

"Umm...how about I just do all the work, and you can put your name on it." She smiled.

"I can't do that." He ran his fingers through his hair lazily.

"Ugh, fine. How about I write the research paper and you can make the PowerPoint. Don't worry I'll definitely help you."

"Fine."

"I'll let you know when I'm done, for now you can just relax."

Sunwoo set a pillow behind his head as he began to doze off.

Seoyeon on the other hand was quick at work, especially since she researched a bunch before she even got there.

In fact, the essay took less than thirty minutes.

She closed her laptop looked at Sunwoo, who was sound asleep.

A smiled formed on her face, she scratched the back of her neck before looking away. Worried she was staring a bit to hard.

She looked around the house, it was a fairly big house, but was also very messy.

A frame took her attention, she stood up and walked over to it, trying to get a clear view of it.

A family of four, two children, a boy who looked no older than 10 and a girl who looked to be a few years behind.

She assumed the boy to be Sunwoo, but she never recalled him having a sister.

The frame next to it was a more recent picture, a picture of a older women—the same women from the last photo—and high school Sunwoo.

Seoyeon walked around, looking at the pictures. Majority of them were pictures of Sunwoo, or the other girl. There were hardly any family photos, and no photos of just the older couple.

Seoyeon tried not to think much of it, for she didn't want to involve herself in personal business, so she roamed away from the photos.

She ended up in the kitchen, which was stacked with dishes and ramen cups.

She stared in confusions for a second before taking it upon herself to clean for him.

She hummed softly to herself, being careful to not make to much noise with the dishes.

"Who are you?"
