It has been 3 days since the heavy rain has stopped, it has also been 3 days since students from Architecture and Engineering majors start to suffer.

Only 2 months remain until their first semester ends or the beginning of their fall break.

Architecture students have been occupying the library in their university, as well as the library near their university.

It's no different with the engineering students.

Renjun slightly jumps on his seat when Jeno suddenly slams his head on the table. The objects on the table slightly moved because of the boy.

"19 hours. Nine fucking teen hours of studying. I'm gonna die." Jeno says, slamming his head once again.

Jaemin places his hand under his head, avoiding the boy from hurting himself any further.

"Exams season is nearing, it's understandable why they decided to throw all the projects towards us at once." Jaemin says,

Donghyuck was watching everything unfold. His Bluetooth headphones on, just so he could finish his song project.

Jaemin was busy memorizing his script for his Shakespeare drama as one of their final projects for the semester.

Jeno was studying the chemicals in different objects, such as food, fuel, drugs, and more.

There were many chemicals to memorize and to remember in each object they are given.

Since their professors were being 'generous', they only gave them 50 objects which will probably have over a hundred chemicals.

Renjun is busy with creating many designs for each thing they are given, such as stained glass, pottery, fiber, and more.

His wrist was getting tired from drawing too much but he enjoys it. Although, there was a time when he had to put ice over his wrist.

"I can't wait for this semester to end." Jeno sighs, slamming his head again, only to be protected by Jaemin's hand.

"Oh yeah, how's Minseol? I heard from her friends that Minseol has been tiring herself." Jaemin says, Renjun's eyes widen.

As a matter of fact, they haven't seen each other since that day.

They both have been so occupied with their works that they have forgotten about seeing each other.

"I don't know..." Renjun became quiet all of a sudden, and the boys noticed it in an instant.

The frown that appeared on his face suddenly, his voice suddenly becoming soft to silent, he was obviously worried.

"I wish, I could see her again."

◇─◇

Minseol tries to construct the blueprint for the task given to her. She was given a three-story house and it has to be seen from every angle.

She sighs, closing her eyes when her head starts to hurt again.

She could feel herself getting stressed even more. Her head was hurting, her stomach was empty and her eyes were fighting the light.

She was about to have 3rd breakdown for that day and it made her feel horrible. It felt like the world was against her.

She felt miserable, exhausted, and overworked. Her files were loaded with projects she has been working on at once.

She wipes the tears that were already falling. She moves her ponytail to the side of her face for no one could see her crying when they enter the room.

She closes her laptop, putting it in her bag before gathering all her papers. She shoves everything in her bag as well.

She wraps her heavy bag around her shoulder before running out of the room.

She runs to the stairs, ready to head back home and do her projects there and have the possibility where no one could walk in on her breakdowns.

Unfortunately for her though, she happens to bump into someone and falls to the ground.

The pain from her back was there because of the heavyweight of her bag. She could feel tears forming in her eyes again.

Not even seconds later, she was crying once again. Tears falling to her jeans as she tries to vigorously wipe them away, only to receive more of her tears.

"Minseol?" Her eyes widen when she hears his familiar voice. She immediately looks up, seeing the worried Renjun.

She immediately wiped all her tears away before quickly standing up.

She felt embarrassed and humiliated. Among all of the people she knows, it has to be the boy she likes, Huang Renjun.

"Why are you crying?" Renjun asks, walking closer to her.

He places his hand on her cheeks, wiping the rest of her dripping tears.

He frowns, feeling his heartbreak at the sight of Minseol crying.

She had eye bags, her hair was slightly messy, her hands were shaking and her legs were wobbly.

Renjun has never felt so sad and guilty. The sight of Minseol breaking down and looks like she's in physical pain was hurtful to watch.

Renjun immediately hugs Minseol, his embrace was warm and cozy. Minseol could feel her tears halt at the warmth of Renjun.

"There are so... many things to do... my head is hurting and my stomach is empty... I'm so exhausted, Injun." She says,

Her voice had a hint of sadness and exhaustion in them. It was trembling as well and Renjun has already died of heartbreak and sadness.

"Shh... it's okay, we're going home now, okay? You're going to rest, eat, and take a break." Renjun softly says, caressing her hair.

Minseol just nods at his words. She brings her hand to hold Renjun's warm hand.

"Please stay with me."
