Jennie's pov
I can’t wait for the class to be dismissed, I am impatiently tapping my fingers on the armchair and glancing to the clock every now and then. I am not paying any attention to what my professor is talking about for the past 2 hours, because my mind is being occupied by a particular blonde goddess.
“fuck! 3 minutes feels like 3 decades” I said to myself.
“Hang in there, Jen, Chaeyoung is not going anywhere”, Irene whispered. She probably knows what I’m thinking right now, well she’s my best friend since forever so…yeah.
“Oh shut up Rene!” I whispered back. And she just gave me an innocent grin. God! this girl.
“Okay class, I want you to have an advance reading about fashion during the Medieval era, have some sketches and pass it next week, Class Dismissed” that was our professor.
Some students groaned in protest, but I don’t care. I quickly threw my things inside my bag and made my way out, I caught a glimpse of Irene giving me an encouraging sign, mouthing "wear protection" with a matching hand gesture, so I showed her my middle finger.
I ran through the corridors of the Architecture building. My Rosie is taking up Architecture and I’m taking up Fashion design. Having a different line of career and the fact that I was a year ahead of her, didn't stop me from pursuing her. Yes, I am still courting Roseanne Park Chaeyoung and I’ll say it was love at first sight.
Flashback
4 months ago
I’m aimlessly walking through the café inside the university, well I really need my caffeine right now, I need to wake up. Being a senior student is not a joke, it’s maybe my last year in the Univ but it will be the cause of my death. My best friend Irene told me to meet her at the University café, so here I am zombie walking, and I don’t give a damn about the other students, not until I bumped into someone. I bet she was on the rush based on how hard the impact was and not mentioning some of the papers she was holding is now scattered. I fell butt flat on the ground and groaned in pain.
“Ow, fuck” I said as I try to stand up. I saw her picking up her papers.
“Oh my god! Are you okay? I’m a really sorry, I wasn’t looking” she said switching her attention to me. I didn’t answer because I thought I saw an angel.
“I’m not dead right? Tell me I’m not dead” I mumbled softly but loud enough for her to hear.
I heard her chuckled, and that’s it, I woke up, I literally woke up, and I think I may not be needing a coffee now. It was like music to my ears.
“No silly, you are still alive, miss” she said with an amusement in her eyes. Maybe because I looked like an idiot right now.
“oh, hahaha” I laughed in embarrassment when I realized what I said. I scratched the back of my head though it is not really itchy.
“Uhm, are you sure you’re okay? I can take you to the clinic if you want” she said still with concern evident to her voice and by the look on her face.
“Ah, yes I am really really really okay” I told her, while showing her my gummy smile, maybe I can make her fall for me hahahaha! Ugh Jennie Kim you are insane.
“oh, if you say so. If you don’t mind, I’ll go first, I’ll be late for class” she hesitantly said.
I nodded in response and she bowed 90 degrees as she said sorry again for the second time before she ran to the nearest building.
