Third Person POV :
Time continues to pass quickly as their relationship continues to grow. Their love was a melody of sweet whispers and gentle touches, a symphony of understanding and support. Their relationship is filled with sweetness and laughter, but also peppered with small arguments.

The arguments they experienced always ended with each other saying sorry. A relationship with mature thoughts, it's rare to find a relationship like this.

Arriving at the end of the semester, they focus on studying. Especially Test Tube. She spent all his time studying, this made Fan a little worried about her.

She was dedicated and hardworking, always striving for excellence in her studies, but he couldn't ignore the toll it was taking on her well-being.

He noticed the dark circles under her eyes, the moments of exhaustion she tried to conceal with a smile, and the weekends spent catching up on sleep rather than enjoying leisure time together. His concern grew as he saw her neglecting self-care and pushing herself beyond reasonable limits.

He finally made an effort to remind the girl to rest, to take care of herself. Slowly but surely, he saw her begin to prioritize self-care, finding a healthier balance between study and life.

"I'll meet you after school, don't forget to eat." Fan spoke as his fingers traced the curve of her cheekbones, the softness of her skin a comforting sensation under his touch. There was a warmth in his eyes as he looked at her, a silent expression of admiration and love.

"You too! See you later, babe." She replied, closing the distance between them, she pressed her lips gently against her boyfriend's, savoring the warmth and tenderness of the kiss.

Test Tube's POV :
"Actually, knowing you two are dating makes me relieved. You two complement each other." Suitcase exclaimed as she tied her hair.

Today I have sports lessons, one of the things I'm weak at. I tied my shoelaces while listening to her words. Several people who either I or Fan know closely will always talk about us. I just nodded my head, then went out into the field.

After my sports lesson today, I felt completely drained. My muscles were sore, and every movement seemed to require extra effort. I could feel the sweat trickling down my forehead. My breathing was still heavy, and my heart raced with the lingering adrenaline from the game.

I have fighting ability, but unfortunately, I get tired quickly. It's a very unpleasant situation.

After sports, we are allowed to rest, eat and change clothes. I changed my clothes and rested while most of my classmates chose to eat. I took a snack from my bag, then went out of the classroom to go to my locker.

As I walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but hear a snide comment directed my way. I reminded myself to not let her negativity affect my day. I sighed and opened my locker taking out some books while munching on bread.

"I don't understand why he chose you over me. I'm better than you." Quartz snapped irritably. She frowned, looking at me angrily. With steady steps, I walked up to her, meeting her gaze directly. I could see the surprise in her eyes, perhaps not expecting me to approach her.

"You may think you're intimidating, but you're just insecure. And guess what? He's my boyfriend, not yours. Deal with it." I snapped back. Her smug expression faltered, replaced by a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"YOU LITTLE-"

Her hand was ready to hit me with her full strength, unfortunately, I was able to dodge it. Her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe it, my grip on her hand tightened.
