As the first month of senior year rolled by, the campus buzzed with a blend of excitement and anxiety. Students darted between classes, their schedules packed tighter than ever. For Haeeun, the pressure of impending graduation loomed larger than the vibrant autumn leaves that framed the campus. Each day felt like a balancing act between classes, relationships, and the weight of the future.
At their usual café, Haeeun, Donghyuck, and Jaemin gathered over steaming cups of coffee, their faces a mix of determination and stress. The air was thick with the aroma of freshly brewed espresso and the chatter of fellow students, but Haeeun could feel the tension simmering beneath the surface.
"Can you believe we're finally seniors?" Haeeun said, attempting to break the ice. "Feels surreal, doesn't it?"
"Surreal and terrifying," Donghyuck replied, running a hand through his hair. "I thought senior year would be fun, but it's like everyone expects us to have our lives planned out already."
Jaemin nodded in agreement, his brow furrowing. "Exactly. With grad school applications and job searches already looming, I feel like I'm drowning in expectations."
Haeeun bit her lip, feeling the weight of their words. "I get it. I'm feeling that pressure too. It's like the clock is ticking, and we need to have everything figured out—yesterday."
As they sipped their coffees, the conversation turned to their classes, and Haeeun could see the worry etched on their faces. Assignments were piling up, and the specter of future uncertainty loomed large. They had all entered their final year with aspirations and hopes, but the reality of what lay ahead was beginning to set in.
"Let's not forget to enjoy this year," Jaemin suggested, trying to inject some positivity into the discussion. "We should make time for fun, even with all the pressure."
"Like what?" Donghyuck asked, raising an eyebrow.
"How about a weekend trip? Just the three of us, away from all this stress?" Haeeun proposed, her eyes sparkling at the thought.
Jaemin leaned back in his chair, considering it. "That could be good. A little break might help us recharge."
"I'm in," Donghyuck agreed, a small smile breaking through his worry. "We need to remember why we're here, not just focus on the grind."
As they planned their weekend escape, Haeeun felt a sense of relief wash over her. It was important to step back, breathe, and embrace the moments that made college memorable, even amidst the chaos of their busy lives as a couple.
However, as the week progressed, the pressures of senior year became harder to ignore. In lectures, professors emphasized the importance of networking and internships, and the tension in Haeeun's stomach grew. She watched her peers bustling around with resumes in hand, and anxiety started to seep into her thoughts.
One evening, after a long day of classes, Haeeun met up with Donghyuck and Jaemin in their favorite study nook in the library. The weight of deadlines and expectations was palpable in the air.
"Are you guys feeling okay?" Haeeun asked, her brow furrowed with concern as she set down her books.
"Not really," Donghyuck admitted, rubbing his temples. "I've got three major assignments due next week, and I feel like I'm already behind."
