--

Younghyun obeyed Sungjin for the rest of the first half. He wore the jacket or carried it around while he explored the university.

He still ended up in secluded places and had met more than one group, but they ignored him and let him walk around once they recognized the jacket that he was either wearing or had slung over his shoulder.

He walked with Jaehyung and Wonpil sometimes, always third-wheeling every time. Sometimes, he was with Jackson and Jinyoung.

At random times, he went to the library. He always caught Sungjin alone on the same table, in the same spot, sleeping. Jinyoung told him that the spot automatically became his once people noticed him there.

The library might be full, but that table would always be vacant for him. No one else had sat at that table unless it was someone Sungjin was close to, so Yoongi's group sometimes occupied the table.

He sat with Sungjin. Sungjin let him and enjoyed the silence with him. Sometimes, Younghyun would purposely go to the library.

He would always find Sungjin already asleep whenever he goes in the afternoon, compared to when he goes later, Sungjin would be on his phone fiddling with whatever he got there or scrolling down his social media.

When he caught him asleep, Younghyun would take the jacket and drape it over Sungjin's back.

Sungjin would always pull it closer and snuggle with it and it would always make Younghyun smile. He would stay on the table until Sungjin woke up because he couldn't leave without the jacket.

He tried to leave once but Sungjin sensed it and woke up, asking him where he was going. Sungjin threw the jacket at him when he said he was leaving. So, Younghyun stayed until he woke up.

He didn't want to take the jacket once he draped it over Sungjin for various reasons. Sometimes, Sungjin would suddenly wake up and give the jacket to him. Younghyun would ask why and Sungjin would just reply that he thought he wanted to leave already.

But Younghyun would always smile, take the jacket, and drape it on his back again before shaking his head no.

Sungjin would always roll his eyes at him and once Younghyun grins or chuckles, Sungjin would turn his head away from the younger and smile a bit before going back to sleep.

Two times, Younghyun found the table empty, and he sat at his usual seat. Sungjin would always sit at the head of the table, so Younghyun sat beside him, on his left. He waited for Sungjin to arrive.

When he did, he sat at the opposite side of the table, farthest away from Younghyun. So, Younghyun would move seats to sit beside him and give him the jacket. That happened twice already and Younghyun stopped beating Sungjin to the library.

Younghyun would always catch other students staring at him and look away when he stared back.

Whenever Sungjin was awake and Younghyun was there to accompany him, and Younghyun looked at the students staring at him, Sungjin would sigh, put his phone down, and lean onto the table.

Younghyun would always giggle a bit at the way every head turned away from them in sync.

Sungjin would mutter a set of curses or insults against the students and Younghyun would chuckle before slapping his arm and telling him to stop. Sungjin would always glare at him and dust off the spot where he hit him.
