We got down a few flights of stairs and walked out of the department to the cafeteria. We went to the coffee corner inside.

"Which one do you prefer?" I asked Dong Hee.

"I'll get myself an Iced Americano."

"One café latte and one Iced Americano please." I told the person inside the coffee booth.

I was leaning sideways against the counter and Dong Hee stood opposite to me, his body a little stiffer than usual. Perhaps nervous? I don't know.

"You look upset y/n. Is anything bothering you?" He asked me.

"Not really. My head is aching badly." I replied as I clenched my head with both my hands.

"Oh... That's why you came down for a coffee?"

"Yeah. I need caffeine to work throughout the day." I told him.

"I agree. After coffee let's go to the library. I have to borrow a few books."

"Yeah sure."

We then spoke about random things just to know him more. That all shy and quiet boy was finally opening up and I felt happy about it.

"Here's your coffee." The person on the coffee booth said as she placed the coffee on the counter. I mindlessly took mine from the counter only to knock it down on someone else's hand. I turned behind and saw professor Namjoon standing there, his hands dripping hot coffee that I had accidentally poured on his hand. He flinched in pain.

"I'm sorry, professor. Forgive me." I told him. I panicked whether I'll be severely punished.

Dong Hee was quick enough to grab tissues nearby and handed it to professor Namjoon. He started to wipe off the coffee from his hands. I was sweating in fear. He glared at me. Might have despised me inside his mind.

"Professor I'm sorry again. It was an accident. I never intended to do this." I was shaking.

He quietly took his coffee and walked away from the counter. He threw the tissues into the trash bin that he found on the way. I saw him exit the cafeteria.

"Dong Hee! You didn't see him standing behind me previously?" I asked him.

"Really sorry y/n. I didn't notice his presence. It's my fault." He lowered his head in regret.

"It's not your fault by any means. I should have been more careful." I rubbed my forehead with my fingers. My headache has only increased.

Later, Dong Hee got me a café latte. We walked to the library in silence. We were chugging down our coffee as we walked along.

Professor Namjoon looked pissed off back then. I should personally meet him and sort things out once I'm back to my department. It was troubling me a lot. I couldn't even think about anything else.

"Y/n... If you want to go and meet professor Namjoon you can go now. I'll go to the library by myself." Dong Hee suggested. He must have noticed how troubled and disturbed I was looking now.

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine. The early you sort it out the better are the chances of him forgiving you." He said.

"Hmm. Then I'll go right now." I told him and ran straight to my department.

I hurriedly got on the elevator and reached the 5th floor in a few seconds. I went to professor Namjoon's cabin, sweating like I ran a marathon a couple of minutes ago.
