It was already past three in the afternoon by the time she reached the library.She identified Jung Jaewon's back from afar. She walked over quietly and found that he was actually bent over the table, asleep with a book half-covering his face.
It was the first time she saw how he looked while sleeping. The April breeze blew past them. When it swept past a person, it created a sort of dreamy ambience. It was indeed a suitable time for a nap.
Jennie gingerly lifted the book off his face. His clean features was mesmerizing. The wind lightly tousled his hair and she slowly swept apart the hair covering his forehead. The moment she touched his face, his hand that was originally resting on the desk flew up and grabbed her fingers. Then he opened his eyes and smiled at her.
She smiled back and they gazed at each other quietly as their fingers intertwined. Finally, a person passing by coughed lightly and it was only then that Jaewon slowly released her hand.
At that moments she felt like she finally found her peace and quiet calm life.
Jiyeon , tell me I'm not dreaming." Jennie had recounted the day's events to her with a pounding heart.
Jiyeon's voice was full of mirth "I can only say ... congratulations!"
But it doesn't feel in the least bit real."
"What does it matter how it feels? As long as you feel blissful, that's all that matters."
"Blissful?" Jennie savoured this description. Was she really? Who would say otherwise?
She had just hung up Jiyeon's call and was brushing her teeth, her phone rang once more. After a her roommate gotten annoyed by it, she yelled "Jennie, your phone is ringing again!"
Jennie came up quickly and received the call with an energetic hello. However, she was greeted with silence on the other end.
She assumed the connection was poor so she checked it twice and even repeated her hello but the other party still remained quiet.
She was about to hang up when a thought emerged. She unconsciously gripped the phone tighter.
Is it you?" She asked uncertainly.
There was no response.
Jennie was also silent. After a long while, she could just discern a faint sigh before the line cut off abruptly.
After that day in the library, there was an unspoken understanding between Jennie and Jaewon.Although neither had confessed their feelings, both were aware of how the other felt.
They spent more time together and sometimes when they walked along the school's forested pathways, Jaewon would smile and take her hand in his. Feeling his warm, dry palms, Jennie knew that her heart had found its peace.
Jennie and Jaewon made plans to visit the Temple near on friday, which was also a National holiday. Jennie woken up early to prepare.
She had just washed up and was eating takeaway breakfast when her roommate told her "Jennie, your boyfriend is waiting on the ground floor". Jennie turned bright beetroot. She wasn't yet accustomed to people referring to Jaewon in that manner.But she liked the sound of that.
At the ground floor, Jennie looked everywhere but didn't spot Jaewon. Just as she was feeling confused, her line of vision fell on the walkway opposite the dorm. She stared shocked and shook her head in disbelief. If she wasn't dreaming then , was he really standing there right now?
She had poor sleep the night before, was it causing her to hallucinate? The "hallucination" before her was taller than she remembered.
