You couldn't even count the number of times you've yawned today. And it's only early afternoon.

You've been working on an important assignment that's due in two days, causing you to pull multiple all-nighters for the past week. This was one of the most important ones, so you needed to give your heart and soul to it and absolutely couldn't flop this one.

The assignment has been taking a bit longer than you thought. Since you had planned everything, you thought you'd be able to finish it in time, so you had enough time to study for an upcoming exam you had in the next few days.

However, that didn't happen.

Two days until you need to submit your assignment that you were nowhere near finished yet, and you haven't even started revising for the exam.

You actually forgot about the exam until your friend Hana asked if you had started revising for it yet.

Shit.

This is why you were at your campus library, so you could make a start on studying for it and, at the same time, get some good progress made on that stress-inducing assignment.

Earlier, your boyfriend Yuta asked whether you were free to have lunch in the afternoon. You wanted to decline as you just wanted to focus on studying a bit more and then go back home afterwards, but your stomach was saying otherwise. Plus, you missed your boyfriend. You figured now was a good time to maybe finish for the day and actually get some well-earned rest.

Both of you decided on meeting at the usual café spot around 1 PM.

However, Yuta texted you saying that the traffic was insane because of some last-minute roadwork, which meant he wouldn't get there on time. He told you he probably wouldn't get there till around half 1, so you figured you would spend a little more time in the library before heading to the café.

When you get here, you let your boyfriend know. Though he was still stuck in traffic, he was almost here, so you went ahead and put in the order and chatted to your barista friend Minho a little before you took a seat at your favourite spot in the café.

You didn't mind, though, because it gave you a chance to rest your eyes a little.

Looking out the window, you watched as people went about their daily lives. School kids out to get their lunch, parents out with their prams, and a florist re-arranging their storefront to welcome springtime's new blooms, even though it was still quite chilly throughout the day. The bright colours of yellows and pinks made you smile along with the lofi beats in the café and the smell of freshly toasted bread, which brought you comfort and warmth despite the stress of university.
