The end of the day comes, and once everyone has left, I make my way to the library like I often do.

Yawning, I push the door open and start looking for somewhere to sit. Fortunately, it isn't very crowded today, making it even quieter than normal. I take a seat at an isolated table near some bookshelves and do everything in my power not to slump down and fall asleep. I don't know why I'm so exhausted today, it must be because I stayed up super late again.

I should've bought coffee, I immediately think.

It's too late now though.

I take out my notebook, textbook, and laptop. I connect my headphones to the computer and play Seventeen's new album (yes I'm still obsessed with it) and get to studying. I can't fall asleep now, because there were some things I didn't understand in class today.

Not even five minutes later, somebody suddenly taps my shoulder.

"Boo!"

"AH!"

"SHH!" some random person sitting nearby says.

Apologizing to the other student, I take my headphones off and turn around, and with not much surprise, Jisung is standing there.

"How do you still get scared every time?" He laughs.

I shake my head and whisper, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to study with you."

"You don't study."

"I shall start today."

"Yeah right."

"Anyways, Yunnie!" He cheers, dragging a chair next to me and plopping down, "what are we studying today?"

"Um, physics."

"Ew."

"What are you going to study?"

"Uh...I haven't decided yet."

I snort, knowing he's probably not planning on studying at all. "Okay well, I'm gonna go back to this and you can...do whatever you want I guess."

At that, Jisung stops speaking and I put my headphones back on, but I only cover one of the ears in case Jisung says something. Then, I resume reading the textbook, and taking notes.

"Why are you taking notes again?" Jisung asks, referring to the writing that was already there from class earlier, "Didn't you already do that in class?"

"Yes, but not everything was explained in class, or I didn't get all of it. I'm reading the textbook and adding onto my notes."

"You read textbooks?"

I turn towards the boy with my mouth wide open, at a loss for an answer.

"Jisung, how do you learn science if you don't read the textbook?"

"I search stuff up on google...is that not why it exists?"

Shaking my head, I turn away to keep reading. Then, when I put the tip of my pencil on my notebook to write something else, I notice a small doodle of a deer on the corner of the page. Which I definitely did not draw.

"Did you just draw that?"

"Isn't it cute?" Jisung says.

"It's very...cartoony. It's cute."

"You know, you give deer vibes."

"I've been told, a few times. You give squirrel vibes. Or quokka."

"Oh, I know."
