After finishing their physics exam, the students didn't have much time to celebrate before the monthly exam arrived.
During lunch break, many people chose to stay in the classroom, gathering in small groups and whispering to each other.
"Hey, Jenjen, do you want to drink milk tea?" Nayeon tugged at Jennie's sleeve.
"Sure, do you want to order delivery?" Jennie replied.
Nayeon nodded and turned to Bambam at the back of the class, asking, "Do you want to drink milk tea? The three of us can order together and get a discount."
Bambam rubbed his eyes and said, "Sure."
Nayeon immediately opened the delivery app and started selecting.
At noon, the curtains in the classroom were drawn, and a few rays of warm sunshine shone through the cracks in the curtains.
Jennie looked at the empty desk of Lisa and said, "Bunny, can you order two cups for me?" Nayeon asked curiously, "Are you drinking two glasses by yourself?"
Jennie pursed his lips and whispered, "Order a glass for Lisa too. It's not good for just the three of us to drink alone. Let me transfer the money to you."
"You're treating him?" Nayeon squinted her eyes.
Jennie replied, "He helped us a lot during the group discussions these past few days. It's only right to treat him, don't you think?"
Nayeon nodded in agreement, "You make a good point."
Somehow, the cold and icy teenager had also joined their group discussions.
Although he usually stumbled over his words when answering their questions, he was still a valuable addition.
Bambam chimed in, "Yeah, he's actually a pretty nice guy. I asked him some questions these past few days and he was really patient with me."
"Really?" Nayeon was skeptical. She was always nervous around Lisa, let alone speaking to him or even looking at him.
Afternoon always made people feel drowsy.
When Lisa came out of the noodle shop, his mind was still a bit foggy. He checked the time and realized there were only ten minutes left until class.
He grabbed his backpack and ran towards the classroom.
A few days ago, he had applied to switch shifts with the boss due to cleaning duties at night, so he had to make up for it during lunch this week.
The winter wind was bone-chillingly cold, and Lisa felt his face being scraped raw.
As soon as he stepped into the classroom, the bell for preparation rang.
When he moved his chair, he noticed a cup of hot milk tea on the desk.
Lisa touched the cup and felt the warmth spread through his fingertips.
He turned his head in confusion and asked Bambam, "What is this?"
Bambam was reading with his head down, but he lifted it up when he heard him and replied. "We just ordered bubble tea delivery, buy three get one free."
Jennie had instructed to say this because he had a strong sense of pride, and if she had directly asked the other boy to treat him, he would have refused.
The warmth from his fingertips was like a small stream, slowly flowing into the other boy's heart.
Lisa pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."
