jeonghan's pov

"hi, can i get two of those, please?" i ask the employee that works at the campus bakery.

"these two?" the employee points at the two chocolate-frosted donuts that are adorned with sprinkles.

"yes, i'd like-"

my phone rings, but i don't check it to see who's calling. as far as i'm concerned, these donuts are the only things i'm thinking about right now. because (y/n) rushed out of the dorm, she forgot to eat breakfast. she told me that she had a study session with a study group to get to, so, i thought it'd be nice to surprise her with food after studying for two hours.

"yes, that's correct." the strong smell of coffee beans scents the shop. then, i find myself craving coffee.

the employee puts the donuts in a box, when i give in to the urge to order coffee. "can i also get some coffee?"

"sure, what size would you like?"

"i'll take a-" my ringtone stops me short.

who's calling me?

(y/n)'s name is spelled out in bold letters, when i check the caller id. i pick up the phone and step out of line. the employee calls out, "i can take the next customer in line!"

i press the phone to my ear."(y/n), what's going on? did the study session run long, or are you on your way back to the dorm?"

"jeonghan...i'm stuck..." (y/n)'s voice sounds faraway and shrill, and i can't tell if it's because something's wrong or if she's somewhere where wi-fi is spotty.

"wait a second, i can't hear you."

"stuck...in the...gym closet...help me!"

help me is the last thing that i hear before the call drops, but i heard enough to understand that (y/n) needs me. i leave the bakery in a hurry. i can't recall the last time that i've ran at full speed, but i'm doing it now. honestly, it surprises me that i'm still able to run this fast.

she said that she was stuck in the gym closet, but how'd she end up there if she had a study session that's being held on the other side of the campus? maybe she went to workout, jeonghan. it's not that big of a deal.

judging by the crowd of people that are surrounding the gym, seungcheol is here. maybe i'm paranoid, but i have a hunch that (y/n) is with seungcheol.

i sigh, an exasperated sound, while strategizing. i think of various ways to get into the gym without having to push my way to the door.

there's a door that's behind the gym, but that's used for emergency exits. i can't get to the gym by going to the roof and taking the stairs because there's a rule that students can't go up there anymore.

think, jeonghan!

what's one way to get to (y/n) without having to—

the realization washes over me like a wave washing the sand. there's only one person who can make all of these people disappear, but she isn't here.,

it looks like i've got a call to make.
