December was a tough time for pretty much every student at your campus.

It was the holidays of course, but also exam month. It was great having to celebrate afterwards, but having it before any other school doesn't feel the best.

So much was going on. If you happen to fall behind, it was almost impossible to catch up afterwards. There were only 3 days until your first exam, English. 

Although you would easily get distracted, you still decided to call Jimin for help. He was always your little reminder that you had more important stuff than keeping your Snapchat streaks.

You waited by the entrance of the library, glancing at the watch on your wrist.

You were early by ten minutes. You then see a pair of Puma shoes in front of you and a little knock on your head.

"Let's go" Jimin says as he hands you a cup of warm coffee while he held his own in the other hand.

The two of you entered the library. Despite the fact it was pretty early in the morning, 8 AM, it was hella packed. Of course, with students from your university. It took you guys a good 3 laps around the place until you both finally got to a seat.

Immediately you pulled out your notes with no time to waste.

You were starting to get a little sore from sitting in one position so you got up and stretched. While you were at it, you thought you could get some books for studying too. Jimin offered to come with you but you said no, in case your seats were stolen.

As you browsed through the shelves, you notice a familiar figure.

"Yoonji" you called out quietly.

She turned around and raised her eyebrows.

"You're here too?" She asked.

"Yup. I'm studying with Jimin." You said while pointing to where your seats were.

"I see." She nodded.

"Anyways, good luck on your exam!" You gave her 'hwaiting' sign before leaving.

You quickly return to your spot, ready to get back into study mode after that short break.

Exam day.
"Ugh..." You whined outside the classroom along with 30 other students.
"Yn, just stop it already. If you can't remember it now, you won't be able to in the room either." Jen said as she patted you on the back.
You slumped down into a squat and rested your head on your knees, reviewing the literary terms in your head. Anecdote, simile, onomatopoeia.

Was it p-e-o-i-a? No no no... It was p-e-i-a. ...right?

You hear the door to your classroom open.
"Alright guys, it's time." Said your teacher.

Your teacher waves you in and students start to move in, dragging their feet.

You glanced up at Jen with a face full of doubt and worry, but she just gives you a emotionless smile as she starts to walk.

You follow shortly behind and sat in your usual spot.

"You may now start." Said your teacher.

You were done. You were done! Done!

You had quadruple checked the whole exam, making sure everything was perfect, since you hated careless mistakes the most.

You product handed your exam in, even though you were part of the last five people to leave the room.

You met Jen outside and quietly squealed. Students weren't allowed to stay in the hallways too long since other exams were going on too.

"So how was it?" Asked Jen as the two of you start heading down the hallway.

"I have to say, that was one of the first proud exams I've written in a while." You replied

"That's good to hear. Anyways, you got your hardest one over with, so there should be no more worried."

"Yup! Shall we go get some good to celebrate?" You suggested to Jen.

"Alright!" Jen pumped her fists in the air.

A few days later, you had your last test. As you came out of the building all smiley and excited, Jimin waves at you.

He greets you with a light kiss on your forehead.

"How is my little fluffball doing?" He asked as he squished your cheeks with his maroon mittens.
"I'm so happy and stress-free right now I could probably start flying." You replied waving your hands around. 

In the library, Yoonji leans back into her chair, stretching. She looks to her left, outside the window, and sees the two of you close together talking. 

"Again.." She mutters under her breath and scribbles aggressively into her notebook.

Yoonji kept unintentionally seeing the two of you guys together. It was irritating, and she has had enough.
