After your excursion before class started, you finally had gone away to your school with two things in mind.

1. You were going to be late no matter how fast you ran.

2. You really enjoyed spending time with Taehyung.

The few hours you spent with him the other day was the most fun you've had in a while. And it would have been nice to have that fun again, if only you could find the time.

Between your university schedule and Taehyung getting himself into things he shouldn't as well as looking for a job, the two of you couldn't plan any more hang outs for a while.

Not that the previous hang out you had was planned in any case.

You stuff your hands in your pockets, breathing out and watching the white puff of condensation disappear into nothing. It was really cold out, but you just had a thermal under your shirt with a brown coat on top. You wore sweats as well as boots to accompany your torso and finished your outfit of the day with a red scarf.

Okay, so you were a bit cold.

But you wouldn't have been this chilling if you decided to just stay home.

Oh, but no.

"Hey! Y/N, did you wait long?" A woman in a pink jacket came walking towards you, her smile blinding. She had the most blue eyes one would ever see and her blonde curls came down in waves.

"Not really, Jackie," you smile, instinctively taking your hands out of your pockets to wrap your arms around her shoulders.

"Well, you should know that I'm glad you agreed to come out here with me today," she laughed into your shoulder; she was a short little thing.

"It's been such a long time since we've had a girls night out," Jackie continued, backing away from your embrace to adjust the leather purse on her shoulder.

"It sure has," you agree, "I'm pretty sure I've forgotten the routine by now, too."

"Well," she smiled, "we can't have that can we?"
*********************
"Remember—hiccup—when we first met and I thought you were like 16," Jackie giggled, her tequila swirling in her glass.

You smile slightly, fond of that memory.

It had been the first day of your first year at uni, and both you and Jackie were taking the Music Theory class. One day, you happened to accidentally walk into her chair, having had little sleep the night before and feeling quite out of focus.

She had turned around, ready to spite the person who dared interrupt her last minute study session when she saw how bloodshot your eyes were. And then she examined you as if you were the animal that was to be dissected in the science lab in the next building over.

"Aren't you a little young to be in college?" Her eyebrows were raised and you remember your own eyes staring to close under the weight of your eyelids.

And somehow from there, a friendships had blossomed.

The two of you grew fairly close, and soon she was someone you could easily consider the sister you never had. Of course, this was all in retrospect because she was simply you actually liked to hang out with. She didn't need to know all that went on in your head. And if she did know, she wouldn't have bothered staying with you for so long.

"I remember," you chuckle, taking a sip of your own drink, which happened to be tap water.

"That better—hiccup!—be some clear alcohol you're drinking, missy. Let loose," Jackie slurred, leaning in due to her loss of balance.

You rolled your eyes as you took the drink out of her hand and put it down on the counter of the bar. You put one of her arms around your shoulders as you wrapped one of your own arms around her waist, supporting her so she could stand up. You decided that it would be best to take her home now before she was completely out cold.

"What? We're leaving—hiccup—already?" Her eyes glazed over and she stumbled over her feet, causing you two to bump into a couple people dancing on the floor. They turned around to glare at you and you smiled sheepishly in return.

"We didn't even get to the good stuff," Jackie muttered. She had a slight pout on her plump lips and you sighed as she started to sniffle. She always was the emotional drunk.

"We broke up," she said. You stopped walking down the street to your car to let her continue.

You never thought Jackie to openly verbalize any crush she had on a guy let alone actually have a relationship with one. This was new to you.

"I can't believe my bed would just do me over like that and let my roommate sleep on him like that!" She started crying hysterically by this point and you stifled a giggle. Jackie had always been the silly drunk as well.

Finally, after half an hour of getting Jackie into bed, you lay down on your own, lucky to have such a friend in your life. She wasn't the closest, not even the best or the safest, but she was enough.

After several thoughts began running through your mind, you turn on your phone after letting it charge for a while. You had nine messages, all from Taehyung.

There was a couple sent at 3 PM, a couple more at 7:30 PM, and the last three just half an hour ago. The clock on your nightstand read 1:00 A.M.

The ones sent at 3 PM read:

Tae: Hey :)
Tae: are u busy today?
Tae: let's get ice cream ^-^

The ones sent at 7:30 PM read:

Tae: where are you?
Tae: you're not answering your phone DX
Tae: r u ok?

The ones sent at 12:30 AM read:

Tae: I need help again
Tae: if you're fine with that
Tae: it's about my English

Oh, this boy. That's right. The only reason the two of you started talking was that so he could pick up a thing or two from you about speaking English.

You suppose you better start teaching him.
