Park Jieun's POV

"Do you want to start on the project now?" I asked Jaemin. We both had our eyes glued to the screen in front of us, watching The Heirs (A/N: IDC IF THIS DRAMA IS OLD, IT'S A LEGEND), and we were both eating a bucket of ice cream each.

"Sure." Jaemin said, getting up to get our laptops, mine being in my bag and his being in his room. He came back with both in hand and passed me my laptop. "Do you first want to get the research and start to compile a list of websites to use?"

"Yeah," I nodded, putting a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth. "Let's try to get a list of twenty websites, ten each, and then choose the best ten out of the twenty."

"Sounds like a plan." Jaemin said, cracking his knuckles before getting down to work. We worked in silence, occasional sounds coming from the metal of the spoon hitting our teeth to eat ice cream and some squeals from me as I took sneak peaks at the drama. We worked like this for an hour before we had a list of websites done as well as their citations.

"I think we're done with the research aspect." I told Jaemin. He looked up from his computer, spoon in his mouth.

"Ok," He said, taking out the spoon. "Do you want to eliminate the websites that have '.com'?"

"Yeah, let's do that." I nodded. We proceeded to get rid of a few. However, that only left us at 14 websites left. "I think we can use all of these webstes."

"Well, some of them are more targeted towards kids," Jaemin said, deleting a few more websites. "With those websites gone, we have exactly ten left."

"You were the one who chose those websites too..." I pointed out.

"I was tired, don't judge!" He whined. He pointed at the screen. "Oh, look! They're kissing in the closet!" I looked at the screen. He wasn't wrong. It was the moment where Cha Eun Sang and Kim Tan where kissing.

"Jaemin!" I threw a pillow at him in embarrassment. "Why did you have to point that out?"

"Because it's the best part!" Jaemin said. "It's when the two lovers can't handle their separation and finally admit to being together!"

"But you didn't have to point it out to me!" I said.

"But can't you kind of relate to it?" He said. "Two lovers who aren't meant to be, one rich, one poor, yet they still fall in love. It's beautiful."

"It used to be applied." I muttered. "Anyway, why are we talking about this? We should be working on the project!"

"Right." Jaemin said. I rolled my eyes before beginning to work on the presentation.

"Hey, Jieun?" I heard Jaemin's voice call out.

"Yeah?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and yawning. "What is it?"

"It's two in the morning, and school starts at 8." Jaemin said.

"We can finish the rest over the week." I said, closing my laptop. "I mean it's the only homework we have." He nodded.

"So, who gets the bed tonight?" He asked.

"I can sleep on the couch." I shrugged.

"In your uniform?" Jaemin asked, his eyebrows were raised.

"Yeah, I do it all the time." I told him. "And if I need to take a shower, I tend to take it in the morning." (A/N: tbh i hate to shower in the morning, irrelevant ik... kill me now)

"Are you sure?" Jaemin asked, he looked at me with suspicion. "Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"It's fine." I told him. "You should probably go change and sleep on the bed."

"No, you should sleep on the bed." Jaemin insisted.

"Nah," I told him. "It'll only be more work for me since I'm in crutches."

"Are you sure?" He asked, his face was etched with concern. I yawned.

"Yeah, besides the doctor's going to be here tomorrow and I'm getting tired." I lied down in my spot, grabbing the blanket from the previous night.

"Aren't you going to brush your teeth?" Jaemin asked.

"I did that a while ago." I told him. "Just don't forget to wake me up at 7ish."

"Are you sure?" Jaemin asked, getting up himself and plugging both of our computers to charge.

"Yeah," I told him, getting myself comfortable. "Night."

"Goodnight." He said, turning off the lights and going to his room. Sleep hit me as I drifted off into my dreamland of rainbows and unicorns.

"Hey, it's time to get up." I heard someone whisper in my ear.

"Five more minutes." I whined, kicking my blanket off of me.

"Alright." The person said. "I'll set an alarm for five minutes." I heard a sound hit the table next to as I drifted back to sleep. The next second, a loud noise woke me up, causing me to jolt out of my place and into the floor.

"What was that?" I asked, turning off the alarm. I saw Jaemin rushing towards me, concern etched over his face.

"Jeezus, the doctor already decided to take you off of your crutches." He said, pulling me up and checking to see if I was ok. "We don't need you back on them."

It had been a few weeks since our breakups with our exes, which meant that it was also the day of our project presentation. It's been rough, especially learning that our exes ended up together after they broke up with us. When news broke out, Jinyoung and Jungwoo were down to kill the two.

The ironic thing that happened was Jaemin's group of friends overheard and struck up a conversation on the best way to kill the two with Jungwoo and Jinyoung. Jaemin and I were forced to listen to their words as they discussed their plans. And once Lucas and his girlfriend got involved, that's when Jaemin and I stepped in to stop the plan from going into action. The only good thing that happened from this was that the friendship between Jaemin and I got better.

"Alright." I said, getting up from my position on the floor. "Today's the day where we present, right?"

"Yeah, did you forget?" Jaemin said. "The reason as to why we're almost late."

"We're almost late?!" I grabbed his phone and checked the time. We still had 10 minutes until school began, meaning we had to run to get to school. "We need to hurry up!"

"Here." Jaemin shoved a piece of toast in my hands, tossed me my bag, and dragged me out of the door. He let go of my arm, and we ran as fast as we could to school.

"We're so sorry for being late!" Jaemin and I bowed when we entered inside of the classroom.

"Well, you're just in time!" Our teacher exclaimed. "You two were the first person to be shown from the name generator."

I walked over to her computer and pulled up the presentation slide. I walked back over to where Jaemin was standing. I smiled at him, turned to the class and began the presentation.
