"whachu readin babygirl?"

seorin looked to the side to see jisung leaning on the bookshelf next to her with one of his arms holding a shelf above his head for support. he had a smile on his face and his eyes resembled crescent moons

"I'm just looking for now sir, do you have any recommendations?" she turned her body so that she was facing him fully and smiled back at him.

he walked closer to her, so she looked up at his face while he just hummed, "what about this?" he held out a random book and handed it to her
"the hunger games?" she raised an eyebrow and he nodded
"the movie was amazing. say- do you wanna be the katniss to my peeta?"

she chuckled and put the book back from where jisung had gotten it, resulting in them getting closer

"I've read it before but it's fine, i can look for new books later. how was your day?" she held his hand and led him to the tables

"it was amazing- oh dude!" he stopped walking and held seorin's shoulders, bringing her into a hug, "thank you so much for the pancakes, they were amazing"

she hugged back, "it's nothing, really. do you want me to cook you breakfast every day?"
"we're not even married yet and you're already acting like my wife"
"isn't that good enough a reason for you to ask me already-"

"damn you two, get a room" someone from near them said and jisung's eyes widened in shock when he pulled away and  turned to see the person, immediately bowing at the presence.

"oh- I'm sorry hyung- uh, this is my girlfriend, seorin- rin, this is my senior, well, our senior, but he's in my major, he's a  legendary dancer by the way-"
"my name is shotaro nice to meet you," the japanese male smiled sweetly at the girl, cutting off jisung mid-sentence

seorin bowed and smiled back, "nice to meet you too, sorry for- you know.. that. uh we'll leave."

"no, its okay, completely fine. i just wanted to scare jisung," shotaro pointed to the boy who had the reddest cheeks out of embarrassment.

"hyung," he whined out and puffed his cheeks, "I didn't think you'd do this"
"sorry, jisung-ah, you're so cute though," he squished his cheeks then said goodbye to the two, saying he had a class to attend

"are you sure he's older than us?" seorin asked jisung when shotaro left. they also began to leave the library after him.
"sometimes, i have my doubts too. but he's still a senior- he's actually in the same year as jeno hyung and the others"
"damn," seorin sighed, "he could pass as our son"
"what?"
"what"
"what did you-"

"ji, when's your next class?" seorin asked, changing the subject
"are you really changing the topic now?" he raised an eyebrow
"yes, yes i am."
"fair enough," he sighed, "my next class starts at 1 and ends at 2. i think me and mei have that class together"
"ooo, I'm picking up mei at 2, we're going shopping together"
"you told me earlier, i wish i could come too," he looked down at seorin, only to see her already looking at him

"you can, though! it'll be so much fun!" she invited with a big, cheeky smile.

he reached out to squish her face with his hands, "your cheeks are so soft, what the fuck" he gasped and stopped to squeeze even harder
"oUCH"
"and I'd love to come along but i have to rehearse for my performance"

he pulled away his hands but then leaned down to make eye contact with her. she watched him, intrigued.

"hey babygirl," he winked- tried to wink and she laughed at the failed attempt
"hey jisung" seorin replied
"would you, maybe, hypothetically, perhaps, somehow, in a sense, like a kiss?" he puckered his lips up and closed his eyes
"get out of here, oh my god," she pressed her hand fo his lips, making jisung open his eyes to a smiley, yet red as a tomato seorin.

"worth a try- hey, seriously though," he stood up straight and held her hands, "if you feel uncomfortable with me asking for a kiss every now and then, let me know, okay? i want you to know that I don't want to force you into anything you don't want to do"

instead of answering, she just reached up to pull him into a hug, "thank you. you too, if i ever do something that makes you feel uncomfortable with me, please tell me."

"i will" he patted her back and rested his chin on top of her head

"dude some of us are single here"

they pulled away to find mark standing aside heejin and donghyuck, all three just staring at them with 'disgust'

"what are you guys even doing here?" seorin huffed at her friends' bad timing
"this is the university courtyard, you guys are the ones displaying pda. get a room" haechan replied

that was when jisung took note of his surroundings and groaned in embarrassment, "i didn't even realise where we were. this is so humiliating,"

heejin reached out to pat his back as he kept groaning, "its okay, there's a lot of other couples doing more than hugs on campus these days. atleast you guys weren't making out."

"aw, dude, imagine if they were"

jisung groaned even more

"really mark? you're not helping the situation at all right now," seorin shook her head.
he just shrugged and smiled, looking away as if he was looking for someone

"are you guys waiting for someone?" seorin asked, looking in the direction mark was looking too
"we're waiting for chenle, then we'll all go practice more for the performance. we promised to meet here." donghyuck replied, texting someone who seorin assumed was the chinese boy they were waiting for

"BOO!"
"AH ZHONG CHENLE WHAT THE FUCK" jisung flinched and held on to seorin's arm as he backed away from his best friend who stood smiling wide at his successful attempt at scaring the taller. all the while heejin only gasped and put a hand over her heart

"oh my god, chenle, please don't ever do that again," heejin warned
"no promises," chenle smiled in reply, "do you guys wanna go practice now?"
"yeah, let's go"
"jisung, seorin, do you guys wanna come along?"
"why not? we're both free"
"oh my god our first live audience!!" chenle shrieked

"dude please spare our ears"
