We were on the way to our department when Naf pulled me back to walk with her while the rest of them were ahead of us. Naf held my hand with hers.

"Why are your eyes puffy? By chance did you cry all night thinking of that trashy girl in our class?" She asked me.

"Nah Nah... I don't know why my eyes are bloated." I lied but to her, I was always an open book. She'd figure my mood with the tone of my voice.

"I can easily say that you are covering it up. Were you alone last night?" She questioned me as I expected.

"No. Mom was there. But something worse happened so my mood was even more messed up." I told her.

"Was it your father?" She asked me concerned.

"Yeah. He had sent his wedding anniversary party invitation like last year. I ended up having an argument with mom. I feel so bad." It's gonna be useless if I try to hide it from her. She will make it come out of my mouth somehow.

"If you don't want to go to the party, we'll take you along with us for the date we've planned. Tae can join us to make it a triple couple date." She suggested.

"I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know if I'm not going."

"Good girl..." She chimed. "Don't worry cupcake. Things will get sorted out as time flies by."

"I'll just have to hold on I guess." I shrugged.

"Exactly." She pinched my cheeks gently and made me smile. "Now you look like the prettiest girl in the department."

I laughed at the comment. "Haha... Naf that's not true though."

"It is true but you aren't accepting it. Our cupcake is always beautiful." Naf cheered. I just smiled back.

We got inside the elevator once we reached our department and after reaching the 4th floor, we departed to our classrooms with a goodbye. While entering my classroom I noticed Dong Hee in his place, quiet and calm as usual. He was staring at his phone. I greeted him with a warm smile and sat on my chair. I felt exhausted already.

"Which professor will be taking the 1st lecture of the day?" Taehyung asked.

I took my schedule and checked it. "Oh... It's professor Namjoon's class.

"Oh... I hope he'll start with the lesson today." Jimin mumbled.

"He will. I guess he's not the type of professor who would waste time with unnecessary chats." Hana said.

"You've already noticed that much?" Jimin questioned her.

"Not really. It's just my intuition." She replied.

"Whatever. As long as he teaches us well, we are fine with him." Taehyung told us. I nodded back.

The bell rang sonorously, indicating that it was time for the classes to begin. It was 9 AM. After a few seconds, professor Namjoon walked inside the classroom hurriedly. He was wearing an ink blue shirt and black jeans. His glasses remained the same as yesterday.

"Good morning class." He greeted. He kept his belongings on the table provided for the professors to use. Then he stood on the podium. The class greeted him back.

"Before I start with the lecture, I would like to set a couple of rules that I wanted all of you to follow. These rules are just to make sure that you focus on the lecture and understand the subject well rather than simply attending the lecture. Firstly, the students will not be allowed inside the class if they are late. I'll let the students inside the class only till 9: 10 AM. So make sure you are inside on time."
