"Y/N, hurry up! I'm starving!" Yeji exclaimed from the classroom door.

I picked up my pace in arranging the stuffs on my table before running towards Yeji. We chat our way towards the canteen.

"Do you have anything to do this evening? Let's hang out!" Yeji suggested excitedly. I was excited for a split second before remembering the event I have later today.

"I can't. Group project" I told her shortly, drinking through my straw.

"Yikes, with Changbin right?" she asked for confirmation as I hummed.

"I can't believe Mrs Yoo made us team up with our tablemates" I sighed as Yeji shrugged.

"I don't mind teaming up with Jeongin" she flexed. I rolled my eyes playfully.

"You'll probably go out with him the moment your project is done" I joked.

"I don't mind" she smiled cheekily as I shake my head in disbelief.

•••

"Can you please stop playing with your phone and help me instead?" I spat in anger as Changbin is too busy giggling over the funny videos in is phone.

"And if I tell you no?" he tested me with a stupid smirk on his face. I glared at him for a split second before grunting.

I'm getting braver day by day and it shows.

"Why do I have to partner up with you" I mumbled under my breath.

"Oh, come on. I'll help you from time to time" he tried to make an excuse. I looked at him with a sarcastic look, "Really?".

We shared an eye contact for a while as he looked in between the papers and me. "Nah" he replied instead and went back to his phone.

I groaned in annoyance.

"What's the point of meeting if it's just me working" I controlled myself from yelling at him.

"I'll go home and do it by myself" I said after a moment of silence, standing up to pick my things up before he stopped me.

"Fine, I'll help you. Geez" he said quickly, pulling the books and papers to examine them.

He ended up helping me finding more informations as I typed them in my laptop.

Just as we're about to start on the last part, my stomach made a loud noise, begging to be fed.

My eyes widen as I place my hand on my stomach, hoping that Changbin didn't hear the noise.

"You're hungry?" he asked. I actually thought he's worried from the tone of his voice.

"Nah, let's finish this up then go ho-" I didn't had the chance to finish my sentence as my stomach grumbled again.

"That's it. We'll continue this tomorrow. Let's grab some food first" he said, sternly pulling my laptop away from me.

"It's almost dark too, we should call it a day" he added quickly.

Just like a thunder, he packed all my stuff and stand up, looking at me with a frown since I didn't move an inch.

"Let's go?" he was unsure before I stand up and followed him outside the place.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked him as soon as he hand me my bag.

"Somewhere near. You don't mind eating at a convenience store, are you?" he asked for confirmation.

"I don't mind" I replied as he hummed, focusing on the road as I walk behind him.

I take a long look at him. He seemed worried even after we left the place. It made me feel warm in my stomach.

He have a nice heart after all.

"Any food in mind?" he asked as soon as a convenience store appeared in my vision.

"I'm craving for Ramen" I told him as I imagined the savoury taste of ramen.

He chuckled, "Okay, sit by the window. I'll get them for you" he said before leaving me to get the food.

I was about to follow him but realised that there was only two spot left and there's people coming in the store so I quickly went to call dibs at the seats.

I waited for him patiently.

"Here, do you know how to cook them?" he asked, placing the noodle cup in front of me.

"Um, I guess" I replied. He stared at me before shrugging.

"Just stay seated" he said before tearing the foil wrapping halfway then bring them to the machines.

I feel bad for making him do it all so I went to him and help, making sure to leave my bag on the seat.

"Go sit, I'll do this" I told him instead.

"I'm finished already" he chuckled lightly. He wasn't lying.

"Help me take this to our table then" he said, handing me a cup noodle as he held the other one.

After awhile of eating in silence, he looked up to me, "You know, it tastes the best when you eat it here."

I only turned to look at him. It does taste better than usual.

"Do you always come here?" I asked him. He hummed.

"My parents weren't always home, so I usually come here to eat" he said before continue eating.

It sparks something inside me. He's exposing himself to me. If I remembered correctly, this is the nicest he has ever been to me.

"If you need someone to eat with, you can always call me" I told him before having the chance to stop myself. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Sure" he smiled, sincerely. My heartbeat increased from the way he was looking at me. It looked so genuine.

"When you say that, I don't even have your number" he commented.

"Oh, right." I quickly reached for my phone and hand it to him, making sure I tapped the contacts icon before I did. He took my phone and type in his number.

As I thought he was giving my phone back, he dialed his own number, waiting for his phone to ring before giving my phone back to me.

"I'll make sure to give you a call" he said ad I nodded.

"To annoy you" he added with a cheeky smile as I let out a small chuckle.

I don't know what happened, but I hope he can always be nice to me, like this.

As if on cue, the door of the convenience store was opened as rush of cold air greeted my body. I grimace at the cold.

"Here" Changbin handed me a hot pack. I quickly thanked him as it was too cold to the point I'm starting to shiver.

I grabbed the hot pack and place my hand in the pocket of my jacket. That was when I felt another warm pack in my pocket. I took it out and realised it was the one Minho gave to me.

How can I forget that?

"Oh, you had another one?" Changbin asked as I hummed.

"Um yeah, I forgot. You can have it back" I tried handing him his hot pack but he declined.

"You can take it" he shrugged.

I looked at the hot packs in my hand before shrugging it off.

It's just a hot pack.
