*************************
You were rolling on the bed, tired after that all nighter you pulled to meet the deadline of your Chemistry assignment. Mr. Kim is usually sweet and you'd honestly want to see him in his sweet mode cus the last thing you wanted was to get lectured about tardiness at the speed of bullet train.

Snacks. Yup that's what you need right now. The best way to lift your spirits.

It's your daily routine to grab the same one from the store with the only exception of that one time you had to go run errands for a friend.
You never had snacks stocked up at your apartment because of your ability to finish two weeks worth of snacks in one night and so you got up from bed, grabbed your wallet and started your trek to the convenience store.
.......................................

The store was not that busy, just a few uni kids wandering around maybe because of being on campus.

You moved to the usual location where they keep snacks only to halt. There are stacks of cheetos instead of your precious honey butter chips.

In confusion you looked around and that's when you caught sight of your precious chips peering at you from the top rack. Great. Just great.

You stood on your tippy toes, while cursing your genes for making you this short, to no avail.

Jump. Let's jump.

The chips have started to mock you from up there now.

You were glaring daggers on innocent packet when suddenly you felt a presence behind you. Then you saw a hand outstretched, grabbing the packet effortlessly.

You looked behind and saw a brown haired tall dude. Damn, you envy him or better his height, it looks like you'll stand staring at those chips for eternit-

"Here." He suddenly spoke up after a second of eye contact.

"What?" You replied in shock. Did he spoke to you?

"Here. Take these. You seemed in a bit of trouble there."

"Oh. Ah thank you."

He just smiled. Dimples. He has dimples. Cute.

"I'm Kim Namjoon by the way." He offered his hand. You took it immediately and told him your name.

You were about to turn back but he spoke up again. "Physics major senior year. And you?"

"English major. Senior year." You replied.

"Mrs. Yu's class?"

"Yeah."

"Oh same. I'm in her class too."

"Really? I never saw you there."

"Maybe you get lost in yourself too much that you forget to look at your surrounding." He joked with a light laugh. It was pretty.

"Maybe you're right." You laughed with him. " I'll be going now. See you at class maybe?"

"Yeah. Sure." And with that you returned back to your apartment to start another twenty eight pages of reading.
................................

When you thought you forgot about the incident at store and the guy with dimples. You saw him again.

And again you were struggling and he had to come to rescue. Only this time you were trying to collect your papers thatyou oh so graciously dropped on the floor.

"Hey, you alright?" You saw a shadow just above you. And you were met with the eyes of Namjoon again.

"Yeah." You quickly replied and continued collecting the papers.

He squat down beside you and started helping. "You sure? It looked a pretty hard fall." Oh yeah with those papers, you managed to drop yourself on the floor too.

He just had to be the one seeing all this. Great. You just ruined your image in front of one of the cutest guy you've ever seen.

After all of the mess was under control you broke the silence, "so where wereyou headed?"

"Just the library. Can't put off the English assignment any longer."

"Oh same. You haven't done it either?"

"Nope." He said and then a little hesitantly, "Maybe we can go and work on it together? I mean if you want to..."

"I think that would be a good idea. Let go." You agreed because honestly you were going to fall asleep if you were left alone and you definitely wouldn't mind some company.

Namjoon proved to be a pretty good study partner. He was helpful and cracked some jokes from time to time so you were never bored either. You have to admit, you actually enjoyed his company.
.............................

You can't focus on chemistry anymore. Why did you even chose this subject in the first place!?
It still wasn't the time for you to get your snacks refill. But maybe you needed some energy right now if you were going to survive Chem.

You entered the store and went straight to the snack racks. You were about to turn around when you heard a familiar voice.

Namjoon. And...

Yuju. The store owner.

"Are you seriously going to do this every other day now?" That was Yuju.

"You can't face this small inconvenience for your friend?" It was Namjoon and he was...

Wait why was he moving the honey butter chips on the top rack?

"Just pass me the packets, will you?" Yuju just sighed and did as told.

"You know instead of doing this maybe you could tell her you like her and just ask her out like a normal person?" Yuju said. Suddenly everything hit you at once, the sudden change in snack location and all.

You quietly went near Yuju and tappedher should, putting a finger on your lips. Yuju quickly caught up and handed you the chip packets and left.

All the while Namjoon was busy in his own world, "You know how can I be. I don't know if she likes me or not. She didn't even noticed me until four days ago. What if she had rejected me?" Namjoon was blabbering all the while you were silently handing him the packets. "This was the only way I knew to make her aware of my existence and maybe start a friendship? I got tired of just glancing at her fron across the class room and herr when she would come everyday-"
Namjoon halted.
He had reached for the last packet while talking and when you didn't released it he turned around.

Marbles. That's the only way you can describe his wide and beautiful eyes right now.

He was shocked and maybe mortified. Were you going to stop talking to him now? Or worse hate him?

You didn't uttered a word and just turned around.

After a few steps you stop and looked over your shoulder. He was still staring at you with wide eyes. You almost laughed.

"I heard the sunset looks really beautiful from the park near the art building. We might be able to catch it if we start moving now."
You said nonchalantly. Then added "Maybe we can share these too." You shook the packet in your hand and started walking towards the cash counter.

After a moment Namjoon followed with a sheepish smile on his face.

You two exited with you having a suppressed grin on your face and him with a cheeky smile on his while ruffling his hair.
....................................

True. The sunset was beautiful. But maybe less than what started blooming between you on that day.

I'm sick and I just started writing it out of nowhere.
I hope you liked it!
