If We Make It || MICHAENG (Ongoing)

3 - Sober

"Hey, you got an extra pen with you?" I whispered to Tzuyu from behind.

She turned her head on me and gave me this "I'm not pleased" look. Her eyes glared me. She looks extra irritated today. Is she on her period?

"Geez. It's just a pen." I took the pen from her hand, subtly rolling my eyes on her. She paid no more attention to me and carried on with our task.

Another week was about to pass by. Thursday. Tzuyu and I were having our 2nd to the last period: History. I was feeling sleepy since we were told to work on some essay and everyone was quiet. I tried my best to wake me and my brain up, but I really couldn't. No attention was paid to my essay and just wrote anything relevant I could think of. Afterwards, I planted my head on my desk, causing me to doze off a bit.

"Last period's up. Let's go." Tzuyu woke me up, poking my head a couple of times.

"Dubu-yah!" My voice was still sleeping sounding. Dahyun was ahead of us. All  three of us have our last period on Thursdays together.

"What's with the smile, eh?" I asked her as she turned her gaze towards me and Tzuyu.

Her eyebrows rose and met in the middle. "What? I always smile."

"Fair." I replied.

Our last class proceeded smoothly. 

"I want to cook for us tonight." I eyed at Tzuyu and Dahyun as we made our way out of the building together.

"Eh, I don't think I can tonight. I have to go to Minatozaki's again and finish our council tasks." Dahyun scratched the back of her head.

"Why don't you have her come over instead, hm? I mean, we got tons of food so..." I replied, indicating that I am really in the mood to make food for us since I've got nothing to do once we get home.

Dahyun looked at me with big eyes and a smile as her head nodded.

We were on our final steps on our way to the university's field when someone called my name from the inside. Minatozaki Sana.

"Chaeyoung, yah!"

My eyebrows rose and looked at her with a subtle smile.

"The librarian's looking for you. I think you got some books due today." Sana replied, making her way over to me. Dahyun and Tzuyu were behind.

"Oh, shit. Yes. I have to give this back now." I placed my bag in front of me and reached for a book inside.

"Can you guys wait for a little? I'll be in and out." My gaze turned to Dahyun and Tzuyu. They both nodded in agreement.

"Come on. Let's go together. I'm helping at the library as part of my student council tasks today." Sana hooked her arm around mine and we both proceeded to enter the school's building.

"And, Dahyun-ah, don't forget about later, okay?" The hamster looked back once more.

The library greeted me with its air conditioning blasting ice that carried the scent of books. There weren't too many people. Some were just laid back on their chairs, reading books and doing school tasks. A group of students were in a circle just beside the front desk with the librarian. They seem to be the student council Sana was with.

"Let me get that for you, dear." Sana took the book from my hands.

"Uhh, just sign here and you're on your way." She added, flashing me a smile.

"I'll go ahead now, Sana unnie. Thanks for reminding me."

"By the way, I was wondering if you could do your work with Dahyun in our dorm tonight. I'll make dinner for us." I smiled at her.
