Just one smile

Final Chapter Pt. 1

Hina found herself standing in the study area of the university's library. Thankfully, the library wasn't packed and there were a lot of open tables. As she entered inside, her gaze wandered around until she caught sight of the familiar figure she had been looking for. She walked over to the table and just stood there for a moment.

Jaemin looked up and Hina flashed a smile to him. He smiled as well and gestured her to sit beside him by pulling a chair closer to him.

"How was your class?" Jaemin inquired.

She set her backpack down first before she answered him with a sigh. "It was crazy. I think I need to revise my script"

Apparently, the script she passed wasn't good enough in her professor's liking so she has to tweak some things on it to pass the standards of her professor. Just the thought of revising the paper stressed her out already.

Jaemin seemed to notice how wearily she answered. "Are you alright?"

Hina assured him with a slight smile. "I'll be alright".

She pulled out her laptop from her bag and began working on her script. Finals were about to start in less than a week. The two of them worked in complete silence for at least thirty minutes until Jaemin excused himself. Hina was too occupied with her work that she didn't ask where he was going and only assumed that he went to the comfort room.

Moments later, Jaemin came back with a coffee on one hand and a small paper bag on his other hand. He placed the coffee and the paper bag on the table closer to her.

Confused, Hina looked at the coffee and paper bag before looking back at him. "What's that?"

"I've been watching you for the whole time and you looked really stressed. I hope that could help" Jaemin said with a grin.

She carefully took the paper bag on the table and took a good look at what was inside. There were some brownies and muffins. Hina looked at Jaemin who was looking at her with a grin. She couldn't help but smile realizing how caring her boyfriend was. Surely, it made her fall in love with him even more.

"You don't really have to but thanks anyway. I really appreciate it" Hina said with a smile. She placed the paper bag next to her laptop and took the coffee.

"Anything for my girl" Jaemin winked and Hina scoffed jokingly.

It's been almost three months since they started going out. And if it's possible to fall in love all over again to the same person, Hina would say so. Their subjects were different so there wasn't much chance for them to meet. The usual dates would either be at the nearest café from the university, or school library. Both are really dedicated to their studies so she was thankful that Jaemin was fine with that.

Sometime around the end of the semester, Hina accidentally met Jeno in one of the university's cafeteria. Jeno was with his friends when their eyes coincidentally met. Hina raised one of her hands and gave him a small wave while Jeno flashed his signature eye smile that could probably melt an iceberg. He excused himself from his friends and walked towards Hina.

"What's up?" Jeno asked, pulling a chair to sit beside her.

"I haven't seen you in like, ages?" Hina said and adjusted her chair to face him.

Jeno, who was still smiling shook his head lightly. "You're exaggerating but it seems like it. How have you been?"

"Good, I guess. Just pretty busy lately but I'm catching up"

He gave her a nod and his gaze landed to his friends that he left for a moment. Hina followed his gaze and saw his friends. Apparently, they've been watching the two for the whole time and giving Jeno a cheeky grin.
