5:36 PM

a short detour on your way home. you placed your favorite snacks on the counter along with a bottle of water. the day was long with all the lecturers rushing to discuss the remaining parts of the syllabus just before the examination weeks hit the calendar.

your eyes trailed from shelves to another while the worker punched your items. there weren't many people inside, only a few students that as you assumed were also attending the same school as you. the voice of the cashier quickly pulled your attention, your hand reaching to your side to retrieve your wallet from your bag.

"oh can you void this one?" an awkward brim became visible to your lips as you pointed one of the items. your card wasn't with you and your money was not enough to pay for everything.

"i'll pay for those," the person behind you uttered. sounding familiar, you turned to look at who just spoke. it was taeyoung, your seatmate in your english class. his actions baffled you as you watched him get his wallet. he rarely even talk to you during the duration of your english class. the only moment he'd take particular notice of your existence would be during dictations when he would peer over your shoulder to catch the words he missed for his notes.

shaking your head, you refused to accept his offer. "you don't have to."

"it's alright. few wons will not hurt."

"it's just a snack. it's okay." unconvinced, you handed the money to the cashier. a sigh leaving your lips when the male stopped you from doing so.

"you're competitive and so am i, and it's going to lead to a fight." taeyoung pushed his drink next to the bunch of food you were to buy. the cashier squinted her eyes at the two of you and your seatmate laughed it off. "add those and i'll pay for it.

"wait a minute, are you being nice to me? but it isn't my birthday." a confused frown was seen on your face as you fixated your gaze to a male, only to get a reply never at once did you imagine he'd say.

"and if i tell you that i like you?" taking the opportunity out of your dazed stare, taeyoung turned to the cashier and gave the bills. "i'll pay for all of those."
