Sometimes, leave together without a plan.
Let her breathe under a different sky, a different wind.

He jolted up when he heard a loud crash from the room beside his. He ran out of his room in an abrupt, his body crashing onto walls frequently from nearly slipping with socks on.

Grabbing onto the handle of her room, Mingyu wasted no time to even knock or ask for permission like usual as he barged in almost immediately.

"Jooyeon?!" he hollered while opening the door, revealing her petite body half stumbling with her steps and pieces of shattered glass on the wooden floor.

She turned to the door looking at her worried boyfriend as she gave an apologetic expression.

"I'm okay, Mingyu. I just dropped my mug. I'm okay." she repeated before bending down to pick the shards but he quickly stopped her from doing so and pulled her hand away from the shards.

When he pulled her away, he could then study her face closely and frowned as he did so. The bright lights illuminated and contoured her already pale skin, making it look even paler and sick. Her eyebags appeared heavy and swollen, just like his during his assignment week.

His face showed an expression of sincere concern as he spoke, "Jooyeon-ah, you don't look well."

Jooyeon touched her forehead and face as a reflex before letting out a rather weak and bitter laugh.

"I'm just exhausted, it's okay. The assignment week will end soon, I'll look tons better by then."

Mingyu still couldn't help but feel bad as when she finishes her assignment, she would still have to attend classes that aren't exactly important.

"Okay. You can continue with your assignment, I'll help you clean up." he suggested as she then put up a weak smile.

"Thanks, Mingyu."

Holding the large plastic bag of the glass shards, he put the dustpan away and closed the apartment door to throw away the trash.

He sighed heavily before fishing out his phone from the pocket of his hoodie and looked through the calendar he wrote about her schedules. He then scrolled through apps before he got to the browser and typed in keywords to search. After a short search, he smiled a little, satisfied before he tapped on a contact of his to call the person.

"Seungkwan? It's me. Yeah. We'll talk about that soon." he paused to chuckle before continuing, "Yeah, soon. Keep the guesthouse empty for me, okay? We're visiting soon."

"Mingyu? Have you seen my passport? The wardrobe was half open last time and I couldn't find my passport inside." Jooyeon asked while searching around.

Mingyu then came out of his room, scratching his head while yawning. Obviously oversleeping until the afternoon.

"Oh. You're home?" he rubbed his eyes lazily.

His girlfriend then walked to him, placing her bag away and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah, I'm finally done with my project. I'll hit the bed soon since I still have classes tomorrow. So, hace you seen my passport?" she repeated as he took time to actually process her words into his mind as he replied a short 'oh' before walking back to his room.

He then came out soon with her passport in his hand before handing it to her. Jooyeon put uo a confused and baffled expression while Mingyu calmly walked to the couch without an explanation.
