Yoon's POV:

"Are you leaving already?", Lisa asked, drawn by the abrupt clatter of the book slipping from the table accidently by the clumsy me.

"Yes... I need to do some things at home", I answered without specific details.

Then Jisoo turned to me, raising her eyebrows in suspicion and teasing, "um... can't wait to get back to your boyfriend the CEO, huh... just say it".

My heart hurt again when she mentioned Jungkook after I had been trying all day to forget what happened yesterday, and how Jungkook didn't returned to the room since that moment I got confused and ran to the bathroom.

"It's not like that... also it's been a long, exhausting day", I avoided the topic of Jungkook.

Stretching her arms skyward, Lisa let out a yawn before remarking, "you know, you're right... we've put in a ton of effort studying today, and the training really took its toll... they weren't kidding when they said the final year would be the toughest".

The last year... I will graduate after a few months...

And I'm almost running out of time. I hadn't yet found a way or solution to tell my grandparents about Jungkook.

It's difficult... not that easy...

Hello, my dear grandparents... I have already been married for months... oh, and he is also a mafia...

I was distracted for a moment until Jisoo said, "om, Yoon-ah... I was really hoping that the three of us would go out to eat tonight and play some games... it's really been a while... this year since we got in, we haven't had as much fun as we used to".

I don't know what I said later to convince them that I would compensate them and that we would go out a lot together. I don't know what they said except that they were not very convinced by my words.

As I stroll through the library, the tables stand mostly vacant, a stark contrast to the usual bustling student-filled space. It seems like a quieter day on campus.

Walking through the dimly lit hallway beyond the main door, I was startled by Sehun's voice echoing behind me, calling me out, "YOON HOLD ON".

I haven't spoken to him since that incident. I was deliberately avoiding him even though we hadn't met much in the first place. I just want peace of mind and no more problems either.

Peering through the glass window, I stole a swift glance before turning back to him. The sun hovered at the edge of the horizon, on the verge of vanishing, heralding the imminent descent of night's darkness.

He's just standing in front of me now, staring at me with hesitation on his face, "yes, Sehun... do you need something?".

My tone was calm and normal, telling him that I wanted him to speak only directly, without introductions, because I ruled out that what he would talk about was studying, for example.

We have passed this stage.

"I'll say it straight", he began, his eyes fixed more closely on mine. The determination was evident when his jaw clenched even more as he looked at me.

I just nodded.

"I can't give up easily... I want...-".

Here we go again.

"But I already said...", I interrupted him but I didn't finish speaking because he interrupted me insistently.

"Yoon no... let me speak... let me finish".
