The first thing the raven heads eyes resorted to after it fluttered awake was dart to the clock in alarm. Relief flushed over her to see it was still 8 am. She had an exam at 12 and within all of this, it dawned on her that she didn't get to study much for it aside from the past few weeks. About four weeks had passed by in an eerie calm, nearing the start of the final half of their last semester. The type of calm that tended to concern her but she shoved the thought aside.

Jiae sighed and looked over to her side, feeling the weight of his arms around her waist. A small smile tugged on her lips at the sight of the fast asleep Haechan. Her fingers reached to part away his bangs from his eyes — an action she often did whenever he looked like a young innocent boy, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Mine

Her smile faltered as soon as the thought came to her and she retreated her hand from him. They were all this yet they didn't know what they were. Only the two of them could pull this level of intimacy without questioning the labels. There were so many questions that bugged her but she didn't want to push him. Was he just doing all this because of the pregnancy? She knew she was in actually love with him whether she admitted or not. But was it mutual or was he just being considerate? The raven head broke her gaze away from him, frowning at herself.

Now that's just overthinking this....right?

She shook off the thought, deeming it as stupid and tried to gently remove his hands from her. The half asleep brunette however didn't bulge, instead made it clear he wasn't willing to let her go.

"It's literally the weekend, just stay,"

"I have an exam, Haechan," she said as neutrally as she could, trying not to break into a chuckle at his deeper morning voice. He shot his eyes open and looked at her with furrowed brows, "We never have exams on weeken- wait it's fucking summer break,"

He loosened his grip around her as she slid out of the laying position and sat up at the edge of the bed, contemplating if she should say it to him or not,

"It's....a professional exam. External,"

She didn't explain much and noticing her reluctance, he didn't pry further. His eyes also wandered on how she was tugging on her lower lip with her teeth, held a tight grip on the sheets of the bed and eyes seemed to find the floor pretty interesting. She was nervous — that much was obvious to him. It made him assume this must be an important exam for her, which it was.

"You do know anywhere in the city center takes 40 minutes from here right? Why didn't you tell me?" He asked as he dragged himself out of bed lazily.

"it's at 12. Don't worry I've got time,"

Jiae explained, watching him saunter to the washroom, "Go revise if you need to. We'll leave bit before 11 cause traffic is a bitch," he threw his towel around his neck, glancing at Jiae while he spoke.
