Fate (Jinyoung X Nayeon)

Toothbrush

The day has already come to an end again, and a relief for Jinyoung that today seemed to be running smoothly. The students were cooperating and they seemed to like him already. In an open minded way. The teacher's also sometimes exchange bids with him. He takes a mental note to know every teacher by the end of the week.

He went to his seat, already noticing Nayeon on her side. He just noticed that they didn't bump into each other at all today. He disregarded the fact and took a seat but it seems his attention was still at her.

She was making a phone call, her phone sandwiched between her ear and shoulder as her jot up something down. It seems important that she still hadn't made a move out yet as the day has finished already.

Jinyoung tried hard to make himself busy as he was tidying all the books and papers in their respective places. He is a tidy person.

He placed some of his accessories that he had bought in one side. He has some hygiene issues so he has a habit to brush his teeth frequently. Jinyoung was amused to find a lot of interesting but somehow unneeded stuff in the school's shop, like why do they sell flour and eggs for?

But still he bought a spare toothbrush and toothpaste from the shop and placed it on his table.

It seemed that Nayeon's call has already ended as she let out a tired sigh. Jinyoung took a secret glance in front of him and he watched as how Nayeon closed her eyes, massaging her temples.

'She must had a tired day.' He thought.

But still Jinyoung has a question that he needs to ask her. He pressed his lips into a thin line as he cleared his throat.

And it seemed that he also took Nayeon's attention.

"About the kid's dinner, have you already started planning?" He was somehow careful with his tone.

Nayeon seemed surprised about that question, that she almost forgot she has a partner.

"Ah, about that, I just made a call booking some catering where we can survey the prices and the taste of the food. We can compare about that later. Next thing I need to check out is the decorations then." She replied professionally but somehow still couldn't make eye contact with him.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Truthfully, I'm blank." She continued to press her temples again, easing the head aches away.

"If you don't mind, can you bring me to the place where the diner will be held? If it isn't a bother."

Nayeon thought for a while, she was pumped out today, but still there were a lot of things to handle. Maybe having Jinyoung handling some of it would be a big help.

"I don't mind." She let out a small smile while already packing her stuff up. The hall was near the parking lot so, she can just go back after showing him the destination.

But she didn't notice how Jinyoung froze a bit when he saw her smile. He doesn't need an explanation about the rapid beating and thumping of his stubborn heart, but seriously this was the wrong time to feel like this. They are working for Pete's sake.

Jinyoung quickly shrug the feeling off as he also tidy his things up. Nayeon has already stood up next to him, waiting for him. It seems funny on how hurried and somehow flustered he looks packing his stuffs up.

But then her eyes landed on a specific item.

A toothbrush.

A purple toothbrush.
