17: Sinked.

Mondays are always hard, especially if there's a possibility of running into your crush whom you think you've embarrassed yourself in front of - not so much face to face, but by liking their instagram picture in the middle of the night.

In Youra's 22 years of life, she's only been in love once, which ended pretty badly as sadly the first one usually does. She wasn't much of a flirt and never had guys falling to her feet or chasing after her as if she was their whole world. That's why having a crush - which was something she hadn't had for quite some time - made her anxious, and of course embarrassing herself in front of him came as a package deal.

As much as Youra was nervous about running into Jeno at uni, she tried to forget about it and act normal, as if nothing happened during the weekend.

"I really can't wait to get this off." she whined, trying to scratch her arm inside the cast.

"When are you able to get it off?" Renjun asked, taking a bite of his donut.

"I'm going for a check up tomorrow so we'll see. But I hope really soon. It's getting so annoying at this point to be honest." she continued scratching her arm through the small gap, looking around the hallways with curious eyes.

A sudden smirk grew on her roommates face as he observed the girl, still munching on his sweet snack. "Are you looking for someone?"

"Hm?" Youra's head turned abruptly to the boy and when her dozed off eyes met his sneaky ones, she scoffed, understanding his point. "No? I'm just looking around." she cleared her throat, suddenly getting off her seat. "I'm going to class. See you later, roomie."

Renjun chuckled with his mouthful, waving his best friend off.

As soon as Youra walked away from the detective that started to read into her every move, a relieved sigh escaped her lips. She shook her head, trying to get the weekend's happenings out of her mind as she turned around the corner, suddenly bumping into someone.

"Ow!" she whined as the impact hurt her broken arm, but the boy whined as well. When she looked up, her eyes widened seeing Jeno holding onto his ribs with a frown on his face. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, are you ok?"

Jeno nodded while frowning some more, still holding onto his not completely healed ribs. "I'm ok."

"It must've really hurt, this thing is hard as a rock." Youra pouted, lifting her cast and keeping her eyes on the boy's torso, feeling bad and embarrassed once again.

"It's fine, don't worry." he added, straightening up. When their eyes finally met, after few seconds of silence, they both chuckled at the silly situation that of course could've only happened to the two of them.

"We really have to stop meeting like this." Youra shook her head, covering her mouth.

"Yeah, I think it's time we change our theme." Jeno laughed too, putting his hands in pockets.
