It has been two weeks since Fall break. Rosé and Jennie had only gotten together about three times, and Rosé was worried. She knew going back to Seoul messed with the artist's head, but she sincerely hoped that she could help Jennie somehow and not have the brunette push her away. Granted, Rosé's schedule at work picked up due to a couple of her coworkers getting sick, so the librarian had less time for Jennie and workouts. Still, even their texting had lagged.

It hadn't helped that when Rosé's classes started again, Jieun had asked her about going to Seoul. Apparently, Jacob had called the professor to tell her all about showing Rosé around campus and how well she managed the conversations with all of the law professors. He had been very impressed with her, Jieun informed Rosé. The blonde had kept a stoic face and nodded along. She said that Jennie had offered to take her to Seoul to get away for a while since she was ahead in her studies and wasn't working. Jieun just looked at her skeptically and nodded once before turning the conversation back to the law school. Rosé had been relieved that her instructor didn't seem to care that she had been spending time with the visiting artist. When Rosé told Jennie about it, the brunette freaked out to the point of adding an extra lock to the apartment door. Rosé wasn't sure the university would really appreciate that, but if it made Jennie feel better, she wasn't about to say anything.

Today, Rosé was once again at the library. The number of students that normally came into the library had increased dramatically. It seemed most of them had received a wake up call that papers and projects were going to be due soon. She has had more than one person try to get her to gather the information they needed for them. Rosé just gave them a fake smile and pointed them in the direction they needed to go before turning around and leaving. If they tried to hit on her in order to get her to do their work for them, she didn't smile or even point them in the right direction. A few of them are lucky she didn't deck them. Rosé hated knowing that the crowds are just starting. At the end of the semester, the library was open longer hours to accommodate those scurrying to complete everything they waited until the last second to work on. Lisa was usually one of those people.

Speaking of, the brunette just walked in with a scowl on her face. When she saw Rosé behind the desk, she glared and stalked forward. "What the fuck?" Lisa hissed.

Rosé was taken aback. "Uh, what?"

"Dr. Kim just gave out a big project that is due in two weeks. TWO WEEKS! I don't have time to complete all this shit," Lisa growled.

Rosé returned her friend's glare. "And you are yelling at me, why?"

"Because I can't very well yell at her, now can I?" Lisa replied with a snark.

Rosé shrugged. "You could, I just don't know that you would get very far."

"Can't you..."

Rosé held her hand up to stop her. "No. Whatever you are about to say, just don't."

Lisa groaned and deflated.

"Just do your work, Lisa. If you start working instead of standing here complaining, it will get done quicker," Rosé said through gritted teeth before returning to organizing returned books to be taken back to their sections.

"I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated," Lisa tried to explain.

Rosé shook her head. "That doesn't mean you should come into my workplace and speak about things you shouldn't," the blonde retorted not even looking up from her task.

"You're right. Of course. It was stupid of me and I'm sorry," Lisa apologized again.

Rosé sighed. Lisa wasn't one to admit she was wrong easily. She was one of the most unapologetic people Rosé knew. The only one that could compete with her is Jisoo, who is in her own class. Jisoo does stuff intentionally that most would be embarrassed about and apologize immediately, she just grins. "What is the project?"
