"So how are things going with your novel so far?" Lia asks. The two girls were now currently walking around campus.
"I haven't had the time to even write a new chapter and the deadlines in like two months." The girl answers in distress.
"I'm sure that you could finish it by the end of its due date. I could already imagine it, my best friend a well known author and her book is sold in every store." Says Lia, adding sound effects to make it more dramatic. It at least made a smile appear on Lily's face as she gently nudges her friends arms.
"You're thinking way ahead of yourself. But thank you for the encouragement though."
"Oh by the way, have you told Renjun about it?" Lia's question making Lily look at her with wide eyes.
"I've completely forgotten to tell him about it. My head's too busy thinking about the storyline I forgot to inform him." She stated. Ah Lily how could you be so dumb?

"Well it's better to tell him that you're joining this writing competition now rather than later. It might cause some misunderstanding if you don't do so."
Lily nodding her head as she agrees with what Lia said. The two of them then walking inside the campus and heading to the room where Renjun would probably most likely be at: the art room.

(Yes they found out that they went to the same college but had never seen each other on campus before since they have classes in separate buildings.)

*criiek!

Lily and Lia entering the art room as they were amazed by how big the room was. They've never really explored campus that much (because they didn't have the reason to need too), and seeing the room filled with this much artwork was just astounding.

There was only a few students in the room, Renjun including. Some were working on their paintings, some were working with clay. Whilst Renjun, he was one of the few that were working on a painting, but a larger size compared to the rest. The girls could see how messy his workstation was, paint stains all over his apron as he also had some paint on his face. Probably ended up on there without his knowing whenever he tries to get his hair out of his face.

"Woah Lily, you weren't lying when you said that his elf paintings were really good. No not good, but magical!" An exasperated gasp leaving Lia's lips as she examines Renjun's painting. The sound of the girl catching his attention as he turned back to see his girlfriend and her friend.

"Lily fancy seeing you here." He said before going over to her, placing a soft kiss on her temple.

ugh couples. Was all Lia could think.

"I needed to tell you something." She went straight to the point. He nodded his head as a sign for her to continue talking.
"Um so I'm joining this writing competition. The winner gets to fly abroad and get their work published by a well known publisher. And since I'm really passionate in writing, I really wanted to take this opportunity..." She explains. Her voice decreasing at the end, scared of what he'd say.
He stares at her for a while.
"Go for it. You encouraged me to join the art exhibition and look where I'm at. Working on a painting that would later then be displayed there. So who says that my girlfriend won't win and get her amazing work published." He replies, how heartwarming his words were. Renjun smiling at her before caressing the top of her head.

ME WHEN. Lia wanted to scream, bloody hell she was tired third-wheeling them right now.

"Hello I exist here." Lia finally spoke up as the couples looked over at her. Lily flashing her an apologetic smile.
"Oh yeah I forgot that you were here as well." He said and took a hold of his brush and paint pallete. Lily having to hold Lia back from wanting to fight Renjun.

"As I said earlier, I really like your elf drawings. They're really pretty and different." She says as the lad looks at her with a side grin.
"I wanted my painting to match with Xu Li hua's work since she's most well known for her flower paintings. Don't you think that it's fitting?" He explains.
