"Eun Ae, can we talk?"

Eun Ae and Renjun were the only ones in charge of the exam seating, and graduation decoration, even though they got help from a lot of people time to time, the ultimate responsibility fell on them.

"I think trying out for the President post was the most biggest scam ever, I'm out here being slaved like crazy" Eun Ae says, ignoring what Renjun just said.

Renjun laughs, maybe she just didnt hear, "You're right, do it for the application"

"do it for the application" Eun Ae repeats, getting back to work immediately.

'oh, no conversation'

"Can we please tal-"

Eun Ae cuts him off, "not now, please"

"but I really want to"

"Renjun please" Eun Ae says, her brows furrowing in plea.

Renjun only nods, pressing his lips into a thin line and just working.

Renjun's eyes stung slightly, he wasnt going to cry right there right? oh definitely not.

but tears were brimming at his eyes, he wanted, no, needed to speak to her, to apologize to her, to justify himself to her.

The first tear just dropped, his hand immediately flew to wipe it out, and just like that, he was silently tearing up.

He felt more pathetic in that moment than ever, was he punched to the floor or something?

'why am I crying, wow renjun you really are pathetic'

The bell rang just in time, Eun Ae dropped whatever she was doing instantly, and picked her bag up and swung it to her shoulder to get to the other classes.

She looks at Renjun, he was turned around, crouched, and he wasnt exactly working but fiddling the papers around, his head laid on his knee that he bought up to rest.

"Renjun?"

Renjun immediately turned around, his eyes were blood shot because of the resistance, his nose was slightly red and so was his brow area and his eyes were still glassy.

Eun Ae's heart pangs at this, so hard, her expression immediately turns concerned, she moves towards him.

"what happened, renjun?" she asks, out of instinct, she was probably what happened too.

She places her hands on either side of his face, and makes him look at her

"you"

"what?"

"You happened, Im sorry, Im not usually this vulnerable, I normally keep myself composed" Renjun says.

Eun Ae finally removes her hands, and steps back, the feeling of it evident as possible.

"A bit too composed, Renjun, thats your problem" Eun Ae says.

This left Renjun even more confused, 'a bit too composed'

'so was I supposed to not be calm?"

"I dont understand" Renjun says.

"thats the problem, Renjun, you dont understand me, youre so unexpressive, it gets so exhausting" Eun Ae says, she widens her eyes in shock, she felt this weight lifted off her, and there it was, she finally said it.

"But, I still love you, so much" Renjun says, stepping towards her.

Eun Ae bites her lip as it trembled, "then just show it, tell me" she whispers, only whispers in the big auditorium.
