Fated hearts (jinsoo)

**Chapter 3: Building Bridges**

The days turned into weeks, and Jisoo and Jin's partnership on the biology project evolved into a regular routine of studying together in the library after school. Their once tense interactions had transformed into easy banter and comfortable companionship.

As they sat side by side at their usual table, surrounded by stacks of textbooks and the faint scent of coffee, Jin glanced up from his notes with a playful grin. "So, Jisoo, have you recovered from our collision in the hallway yet?"

Jisoo chuckled, shaking her head. "Not quite, but I suppose I can forgive you now that we're getting along."

Jin's grin widened, and he nudged her playfully with his elbow. "I guess I should thank Mrs. Park for forcing us to work together. Who knew we'd make such a great team?"

Their laughter filled the air, drawing curious glances from nearby students, but Jisoo and Jin were lost in their own world of inside jokes and shared secrets.

As they delved into their biology notes, Jisoo couldn't help but steal glances at Jin when he wasn't looking. She admired the way his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm when he talked about his favorite topics, and the way his smile lit up his face when he was genuinely excited about something.

Lost in her thoughts, Jisoo didn't realize that Jin had been watching her too until he spoke up, his voice soft with sincerity. "You know, Jisoo, I never would have imagined that we'd become friends after our rocky start. But I'm really glad we did."

Jisoo felt a warmth spread through her chest at his words, and she smiled back at him, her eyes reflecting the depth of her feelings. "Me too, Jin. I guess sometimes unexpected friendships are the best kind."

Their moment of connection was interrupted by the sound of the library bell signaling the end of the study session. Reluctantly, Jisoo and Jin packed up their belongings, their shared laughter lingering in the air as they made their way out of the library.

As they walked side by side down the school hallway, Jisoo couldn't shake the feeling that their journey was just beginning, and she couldn't wait to see where it would lead them next.
