(Joonjae's POV)

After I had issued the books I needed for my next lecture, I saw Takuya standing outside the library he had a weird, blank expression on his face, his eyes unfocused seeing him like that got me worried so I put aside my petty anger and decided to reach for him. I lightly shook his shoulder, trying to get his attention as gently as possible, and he seemed coming back to his senses but his expression quickly changed when he saw me in front of him, face going pale as if he had seen a ghost. Takuya barely blurted out a few words before literally running away from my reach, leaving me stunned. My best friend's weird behavior had been bothering me all morning therefore I considered chasing after him, but I had lost sight of him and my next lecture was about to start so in the end I went back to the classroom alone.

After some time the teacher came and handed the worksheet of the project

Teacher: So students this is the list of topics for the project, I hope ypu will work hard and remember to submit everything on time.

All the students: YES, SIR

Teacher: ALSO THE TEACHER WHO SHOULD HAVE HELD YOUR NEXT LECTURE IS ABSENT TODAY, SO YOU CAN GO HOME NOW.

The news made everyone happy as it meant the class would have had the whole afternoon free. It also meant that I could go to work early, so I packed my things and quickly looked at the list to see which I was going to work on and with whom I had been partnered with. The subject was pretty vast, CULTURE OF KOREA, but overall easy. Then I saw who my partner was: the name of Takuya was scribbled beside mine in blue ink, and as I was initially happy as I had to work with my best friend, I was also worried because of how things had been between us lately. I really needed to go to work, so I just grabbed my things and pushed the thought out of my mind.

 (Takuya's POV)

I quickly ran from there before Joonjae could stop me. I just wanted to find some place where I could hide myself. I got in the nearest restroom I could find and peeked through the door, searching for Joonjae. I saw him standing in the hallway and I immediately locked myself inside one of the stalls, waiting for him to leave. My heart was still beating like crazy against my ribcage and my breath was short because of the sudden run; I still perceived the faint feel of the kiss on my mouth, and I thoughtlessly touched my bottom lip as I recalled what had just happened. What the heck was that?! Snapping out of my bubble, I finally looked at the watch on my wrist and was shocked to find out that I had only three minute to get in class. Even though I was little bit hesitating, I definitely couldn't miss my next lecture so I gathered my courage and got out.

I peeked again outside to see if Joonjae was still searching for me, but thankfully he had given up. I hurried to be on time; however when I finally reached the room it was almost empty and the few students still there were lazily packing their things. At the back of the room I spotted Dawoon, one of the classmates with which I had more confidence, so I quickly got to him to ask about what was happening.
