Paths (H.HJ.)

Jiyeon arrived at the university. She sighed and looked at the time. I'm late, she thought. She walked quickly, entering the institute and preparing for her first class. She closed her eyes and hissed at the thought of Hyunjin. It's been already a few years since they broke up, but she didn't know why she still had that pain inside her when she saw him in the cafè. She did move on. She doesn't know why she had that feeling until now.

She had a fine day today. She listened through the lectures of her professors, she took a lot of notes, she almost slept during class, but she endured all of these herself. During lunch, she sat by herself and checked her phone. There were a couple of messages from a certain contact.

Shortly after she ate she cleaned her space for the next user then took her time strolling around, since she still had a lot of time before her next class. She glanced at some students, who seemed to be working on their laptops, some who were walking down the school grounds, and even some couples walking hand by hand. Just then, a hand landed on her shoulder. She turned to her side and to her surprise, she saw Chan behind her.

"You didn't have to do that." Jiyeon greeted. Chan chuckled and walked by her side. "I know, sorry." He mumbled. "So, why are you walking down here?" He asked. "Just strolling around."

"I see. Don't you have anything to do?"

"Not really. I just ate."

"Alright."

A moment of silence came between them and suddenly a blonde-haired guy ran to them. "Ah, Chan and Jiyeon! What a nice day, isn't it?" She rolled her eyes and looked at him. "It's not anything serious, Felix." She said to him. He smiled and giggled. "Well, I do see it as lovely." He replied. "Anyway, what was I saying? Ah! Are you both going out later? Is it chicken dinner?" He asked.

"How'd you know, Felix?" Chan asked. He laughed as a response. "You're getting quite readable, mate." He replied. Chan frowned a little before Jiyeon checked the time. "I think I have to go. See you." She said, walking away with a small wave. Chan waved back and Felix smirked before pulling him near using his arm. "Chan, Are you going to ask someone else to go with you, or do you just want it to be the two of you?" He asked.

"Hey, I just wanted some time with her and only her this time."

"Whoa there, mate. Are you really going to do it? Are you really taking the chance?"

"Well..."

"You really going to confess your feelings to her, mate?"

Chan took a moment to think and he nodded. "Yes."

Felix smiled brightly and pat his back. "Good luck out there, bro."
