Hold Me Tight (Completed) ✔️

Chapter 24

I closed my pen, stood up handing over the papers and took my leave from the room heaving a long sigh. My first semester exams are finally over. I'm officially free for a one month break. Papers weren't that difficult, I think I can score pretty good this time.

I headed to the library since Han is still writing and my other bud Jimin isn't here. His last exam was yesterday and he was solely waiting for ours to be done.

My phone buzzed and a smile crept on my lips seeing who it is.

Seokjin
How was your exam?
I saw u leaving the hall.

Me
It was fine.
I was wondering how u texted me at the ri8 time.

Seokjin
😉
Where r u now?

Me
Library.

Seokjin
Wait. I'm coming.
At the L7 row.

I shoved my phone in my pocket as I walked to the said row. Since the exam was still commencing, the library was pretty much deserted. Instead of standing like an idiot I took the first book I saw and started carelessly flipping through the pages.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and it didn't need a genius to know that's Seokjin.

"Hey" I spoke completely forgetting we were in a library that had silence notices practically everywhere. He was fast to cover my mouth which could actually cover almost my whole face. Did I tell you I have a small face?

His soft hands didn't leave my face till a few seconds passed as he signalled me to be quiet with his eyes. Then he removed and took the book from my hands avoiding my eyes.

"Don't you have invigilation duty or something?" I asked in a whisper.

"A simple 'happy that you're here' would've been nice." He glared, making me scoff.

"Well, anyways who's yours?" He continued.

"Who's my what?" I had no clue what he was talking.

"Ohh mail must have come few minutes back, you wouldn't have known?" He spoke as realisation drew in.

"What mail?"

"Your research supervisor."

Oh my...I forgot about that thing. We were informed we will get the info regarding it yesterday. And exams took most of my mind that I left this out.

I checked my mail and found one from the Uni.

"Ohh."

"Who is it?" Seokjin asked his eyes expression less.

"Jace Wesley." I spoke no longer any excitement laced in me.

"Are you disappointed?"

"What no? Why would I?" I ignored his smirk.

"Maybe because you thought I will be yours." He replied still a small smirk playing on his lips. I will be yours that words hitched my thoughts. I can't deny I was a little sad. I was more than comfortable with him than anyone else in this place.

"In your dreams boy. Jace is too handsome. I was worried if I would be able to concentrate when he's with me." I came back with a reply that I know would hit him right on his face. He isn't a big fan of replies that mocks his looks.

"Ouch." He flicked me in my forehead muttering something that was out of my language zone.

"Anyways, you won't be coming early tonight right?" I asked him.

"Nope. Are they coming over today?"

"Yes. Jimin will pick us up and we go straight to our place."

"Good thing I have paper works or else you couldn't have a time like this."

"I know right. I will try not to get past 10 pm."

After that I left from the library as I got a message from Han saying she was done with the test. Jimin picked us up and we went straight to our house.

Like Seokjin said he had locked his room so no worries from that part. We have also removed the small polaroid photo collection from the living room. The photos we took in his and my birthday, then some random 'us' pictures and all got locked up in his room.

"Marvel marathon it is." Jimin spoke as he plopped onto the couch with a soft thud.

I took the seat on the floor with a blanket covered around me and Han on an armchair beside the couch her legs propped on the table. We were going for a movie marathon with popcorn, chips and some soft drinks.

After a four hours straight watching and commenting we all got up cracking our bones as we stretched.

"That was relaxing and blood pumping at the same time." Jimin remarked as he cracked his neck to the left.

"This thing makes it looks like you got married." Han spoke pointing at something. I followed her eyes and it landed on the E and S wall hanging.

"It's beautiful though." I shot back. Nope I'm not going to remove it, whatever they say.

We talked for a little more about our supervisors and other stuffs. Han got a lady professor, whereas Chim don't because he chose course based project and not thesis. I recollected Seokjin telling me he wasn't assigned with any as he was new here and therefore will be a substitute.

"Is that a 1000 won note on the floor?"

"Huh?" I asked Jimin who was crouching on the floor picking up something. He showed a thin paper with a frown on his face.

Ohh no, that was Seokjin's. Last night he showed me the Korean currencies when I asked him. This must have fallen from his wallet. I'm doomed. Right then my phone buzzed and I saw a text from Seokjin.

Seokjin
I'll be there in 5 mins.
I will wait if they haven't left.

I looked up and Jimin and Han were looking at me puzzled.

"That must be my brother's. He had a weird hobby of currency collection." I grinned. I can't make Seokjin wait too long it's really cold outside.

"Guys, I'm sorry he's coming back. You have to leave." I apologised, if only the situation weren't like this.

"Who? Jack?" Han asked.

Jack? Ohh Jack. Why do I keep forgetting this fricking name?

"Yup." I replied quickly. They paced around the room gathering their stuffs. Thankfully they dropped the matter of the 1000W.

"Bye Ela." They both waved at me as I waved back. They left the house in Jimin's car.

I knew they were very understanding about my roomie situation. And they didn't complain. They come over whenever he's not here and leave before he comes back. I want to tell them the truth soon enough. But there was a tiny part of me holding back. Maybe I liked this whole 'just us' thing.
