Jennie's POV

Submit.

There, I clicked it. Finally it's over. My years studying law will be determined by this one final exam if I'm qualified to be lawyer

I took a deep breath. I don't feel any satisfaction, I'm honestly just glad that it's over. I have this feeling of emptiness and question of what I will do next

But I decided to think about that later

I stood up and arranged my things. It's time to go home. It's time to rest. I deserve that. I think I do

As I am making my way to get out of the exam site, I'm already seeing people waiting outside. It was quite the tradition that people commend those who finishes their BAR exam. Before, I was the one waiting outside. We will be in groups, per school, showing support to those who bravely took the exam, telling them they did well. There will also be families, close friends, it will really be a crowd actually. I cried on my first time being on one because I was touched on how the examinee run towards their loved ones and hug them after a long tiring, draining exam, not that I will ever experience that. Sure, I will see some of my schoolmate's support but I don't have anyone closer than that. Chaeng also took the exam and I know she's with her family right now while Jisoo has work that she cannot skip. But it's okay, I'm used being alone anyways

But then I saw a familiar tall figure waiting in the crowd, holding a bouquet of flowers and when our eyes finally met, a smile slowly formed on her lips while a tear was trying to escape my eyes

Just this once, I'll let myself be vulnerable

I ran towards her and hugged her tight. I didn't expect her to be here. Well I hoped, but I didn't think she'll actually come because I know her schedule and I know that she has work today

I buried my face on her chest as tears finally escaped my eyes. I felt her caressing my head

"You did well, attorney" she said softly

"Well I do really hope I will be one" I responded, not showing my face

"You will. I just know you will" she reassured me and I don't know but it really relaxed me

"How about work?" I asked

"Don't worry about that. Seulgi covered for me in exchange for a drink" she chuckled in her response

"Yeah. That sounds just like her"

We were in silence. It was calming. The people around us are loud and cheering for others but to me, it seems like its just the two of us here

"Let's celebrate" she stated all of a sudden

"Celebrate what? I didn't pass yet. If anything, its still not sure" I said as a matter of fact

"Celebrate you doing well. Come on!" She held my shoulders so we let go of the hug, meaning she also saw that I was crying

"Hey, are you okay? Why are you crying? I'll buy you lots of chicken! Or what do you want to eat?" She said in panic

"And oh, here! I brought you flowers! It's dried so that you can keep it as long as you want but it kinda smells tho, but I'll spray some perfume on it later on! Don't cry" she continued to mumble random things and is in panic. She looks so adorable that it made me laugh. I look crazy, I know

"I would love the chicken" I said as a smile was slowly painting on my lips and for the first time, I felt light, I felt at ease, its like I could brush off my worries

"Its chicken then" she responded with the same proximity and held out her hand to me that I gladly took

She took my bag from me and carried it herself "this is kinda heavy" she said "yeah. So I'll just carry it" I insisted because seriously, she doesn't have to

"Nope. I will. So come on, let's get your chicken!"

She is carrying my bag, holding the flower bouquet in her right while she is holding my hand on her left so I will be on the safe side of the road

It seems like her hand fits perfectly on mine and the thought made my heart beat madly fast

It's been months since I met her and so much has happened but one thing is for sure, she was always there for me when I need someone, well even when I didn't. She annoyed the shit out of me but now I realized why I was always annoyed by her, because it was me all along. But still, fuck Lalisa Manoban, fuck her and her big brown eyes, fuck her cheeky smile and adorable antics, fuck her annoying jokes and actions. Fuck her. But mostly, fuck me. Because I was denying it all along. That I fucking like this annoying doctor.
