"Fuck, shit, fuck..." Jiwon cursed under her breath as she paced back and forth in the small hallway outside of the exam hall. Her heart was beating out of her chest, her blood pulsating through her veins.
The door had opened to the exam hall and the teachers started letting students inside, one at a time. It was a slow process as they would have to check them off on a long list of names.
A hand being placed on her shoulder, made Jiwon turn around and lock eyes with Areum. Her eyes were warm as she motioned for Jiwon to take a deep breath.
Taking in a couple of shaky breaths, Jiwon felt herself slowly calm down a bit. Areum smiled softly and caressed her friend's shoulder softly. She reached forward with her other hand that was holding a water bottle and said, "drink some water."
Jiwon immediately grabbed the bottle from her grasp and screwed the lid off, quickly downing half of its contents. Pulling the bottle away from her mouth, she panted a bit by the lack of air but nonetheless felt the nausea wash away.
"Better?" Areum asked, meeting her eyes.
"Better," Jiwon muttered and showed her a small smile.
"Good," Areum said and beamed before grabbing her friend's hand, "let's go nail this exam."

"No Hyunwoo listen- that's literally Ursa Major," Jiwon slurred while she pointed towards a place in the clear night sky.
The four friends were currently sitting– apart from Areum– on the concrete curb. The street was fairly empty with a few cars driving by occasionally and almost no pedestrians walking by. Those who did were equally and if not more drunk than the four were.
"Bitch shut up," Hyunwoo exclaimed and grimaced, "you literally know nothing about constellations."
"What are you talking about!" she yelled and snapped her head toward the boy sitting beside her, scowling at him.
However as soon as she looked at him, she pouted and cried out, "I miss my boyfriend!"
Seonhee, who was slouched down beside Areum, scoffed at Jiwon's sudden mood change. "How the hell did you go from bitching about stars to crying about your boyfriend?"
"He's also a man!" Jiwon cried out, pointing towards Hyunwoo who instantly bursted out laughing and fell back.
In the midst of the chaos, a black car with tinted windows pulled up a few metres in front of them. None of the four noticed it, being far too intoxicated to pay attention to their surroundings.
The door to the passenger seat opened and a man stepped out. He was covered from head to toe, adorned in black clothes, a cap and a mask covering his face.
He walked directly towards Jiwon and crouched down beside her, tapping her shoulder gently.
She whipped her head towards him, her eyes glazed and her cheeks flushed because of the alcohol. It only took her a few seconds for her to recognise who it was, just by seeing his eyes.
"Baby!" she yelled, her face lighting up, and she stretched her arms up before wrapping them around her boyfriend. She hummed groggily as she pushed her cheek against his.
"Hey Ji," Jungwon whispered in her ear, instinctively glancing around for any potential eyes on them. Not seeing any, he wrapped his own arms around her shoulder, tapping her back softly.
The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled behind his mask when he pulled away. Even in her drunken state, he couldn't help but find her adorable. Especially with the way she was looking at him with practically heart eyes.
"Can you stand up for me?" Jungwon asked and Jiwon immediately nodded ferociously but as soon as she tried to get a few inches off of the ground, she fell right back onto her bottom.
Seeing this, Jungwon's hands travelled from behind her back and to her waist, steadily lifting her up to her feet. He easily held her up right, supporting her whole weight with his arms.
In the meanwhile, Jay had gotten out from the driver's seat and had walked straight to Areum who was laying flat down on the ground.
"Hi Jay," Areum slurred once she saw the said boy crouching over her, and reached her arms up, messily slinging them around his neck.
Not prepared for the sudden pull she gave, Jay fell a bit forward and towards Areum, putting his palm down on the ground to not fall on top of her.
"Hey, do you wanna come with me?" Jay muttered, Areum smiling and humming as an answer, fingers caressing his warm skin on his nape.
"You're really hot," she mumbled, causing his cheeks to flush behind his mask which Areum fortunately couldn't see– not that she could in her intoxicated state.
Jay chuckled nervously and snaked his arms under her waist, lifting her up. He groaned a bit, hugging her body to his own in an attempt to make it easier to stand up.
"It's not like I need help or something..." he mumbled under his breath as Areum's body went limp, suddenly feeling as if he was lifting a giant rock.
She giggled at his reaction and slapped his chest sloppily, saying, "you're funny!"
This made Jay smile and he looked down at her while butterflies filled his stomach. Finally, he stood at his full height with one of his arms under her back and his other, hooked under her kneecaps.
Areum's arms were still around his neck, their faces being so close to each other that Jay could smell the alcohol off her tongue mixing with her sweet perfume that he loved.
As he walked towards the door of the passenger seat, he glanced behind him to where the others were and saw Jungwon trying to help his girlfriend to her feet. The other two were still roaring out laughing at god knows what.
"Come on Ji," Jungwon muttered in a low voice and sighed while Jiwon was still shaking her head.
"But I don't wanna go without Seonhee and Hyunwoo..." she whined and pointed her finger towards the two, though she was having a hard time keeping her arm still.
"They're coming with us, don't worry," Jungwon spoke in a soft voice but Jiwon didn't budge.
"No!" She shook her head and folded her arms over her chest, trying to look stern but ultimately failed when she stumbled a bit to the side.
Jungwon pursed his lips and let out a deep sigh before helping her to sit down again– which she happily complied with.
"Alright, just wait here then. Can you do that?" Jungwon asked, bending over her and she nodded, smiling again.
After doing a double check to make sure Jiwon wouldn't move, Jungwon walked over to Hyunwoo and Seonhee.
They almost instantly took notice of his presence, Seonhee gasping and shouting, "hi Jungwon!"
"Hey guys," he greeted, internally wincing at how loud she had just yelled his name but ignored it. "It's time to go."
"Who's driving?" Hyunwoo asked, his features showing scepticism, brows furrowed and lips pursed, "cause I'm not getting in the car if it's one of those red men from squid game."
"Of course it's not Hyunwoo, you idiot," Seonhee hollered from the side, smacking his upper arm. Right away, the boy dramatically cried out and feigned being hurt, clutching onto his upper arm.
Jungwon watched as the two bickered, completely having forgotten about his existence. Others would have probably been annoyed by them, but he couldn't help but chuckle at their antics, knowing that even in their sober state, they couldn't not argue.
"Come on guys," Jungwon said, raising his voice a bit to try and get their attention and luckily, they both looked at him. Hyunwoo opened his mouth to say something but Jungwon beat him to it, "and no Hyunwoo, it's not 'one of those red men' that's driving."
"I- how dare you assume I was gonna say that-"
"Dude, shut the fuck up," Seonhee interrupted him and got up, dragging Hyunwoo up with her.
"Let's go," she said and walked towards the car with Hyunwoo trailing behind her.
Just as she walked past Jungwon, they made eye contact and she gave him a wink signalling 'I got this'. He nodded curtly and went back to his girlfriend who somehow was still sitting in the same spot.
"Hey Ji," he called out, crouching down and she whipped her head towards him with a grin. "Can you see them going into the car?"
"Mhm," Jiwon hummed mindlessly before swiftly standing up, startling Jungwon and he got up, his hand already finding hers in case she fell.
"I'm tired," she mumbled and started trudging towards the car, stumbling along the way.
Jungwon just followed her with a smile behind his mask as she lightly tucked on his hand. Though, he did step in front of her to open the door for her, only to realise that there was only one seat left.
Jay was already sitting behind the wheel, talking to Areum who was in the passenger seat while Seonhee and Hyunwoo were sitting beside each other, leaning against each other as they were somehow already fast asleep.
"Why are we just standing here?" Jiwon mumbled and peered around the empty street mindlessly, making Jungwon glance back at her before making a quick decision.
Without further ado, he sat down onto the vacant seat, his hand still holding Jiwon's and he guided her to sit on top of his lap. Immediately his breath hitched, feeling her relax and sink back against his chest as he closed the door.
"Is everyone ready?" Jay asked from the front, eyeing the position the two were in from the rearview mirror.
Gulping, Jungwon nodded and reached out to grab the seat belt before putting it over him and Jiwon. After he had fastened the seat belt, he shyly rested his arms around her waist, only for her to place her hands on top of his.
His eyes were fixated on Jiwon who didn't seem to pay any mind to their current position, only gazing out of the window and watching the lights flicker by.
Jungwon decided to close his eyes and focus on the low hum from the engine, in order to distract himself from how fast his heart was beating.
The rest of the car ride was fairly quiet, the voices of Jay and Areum sounding faint from the back seats. Even after a bit, Jungwon got used to the position he was in and found the moment quite peaceful.
"We're her," Jay announced and stopped the car, putting it in park. "You got it?"
"Yeah I've got it. Just drive the others home," Jungwon assured and unbuckled the seat belt, reaching over to shake Seonhee awake.
After much bustling, he got the two girls out of the car and into the building but not before bidding a quick goodbye to Jay and promising to keep him updated.
"I'm going to bed..." Seonhee groaned as soon as they had entered the apartment, and she sluggishly walked to her room. Not long after, a thump could be heard from her falling onto her bed.
Jungwon grinned and peered down at the girl who was leaning his side, clinging onto his arms. For a minute, they just stood there as Jungwon admired his girlfriend. Without thinking about it, he brought his hand up and gently pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
This caused her to open her eyes, immediately locking eyes with him. Jungwon smiled and whispered, "hi, wanna go to bed?"
Jiwon hummed groggily and let her boyfriend guide her to the bathroom where he sat her down on the toilet.
First he needed to find something to hold her hair back with. The plush hair band was easy to find for him as it was laying on the counter. He gently helped Jiwon put it on, making sure it didn't touch her face.
Now he needed some makeup remover. Turning around, he thought of where to find it.
"It's in the top drawer," Jiwon mumbled, already knowing what he wanted, and lazily pointed towards the said drawer, Jungwon looking at where she was pointing.
While he opened the drawer, taking out the bottle and finding some cotton pads, Jiwon stood up and waddled over to the counter before hopping onto it.
Jungwon hadn't noticed this before he again turned around and was now very close to her. He was a little startled by her sudden change of spot but nonetheless stepped up in front of her and started wiping her makeup off.
The whole time, Jiwon had her eyes fixed on him, finding it cute how his face would contort in a small frown when he was concentrating.
She was a bit more sober now than when they had picked her and her friends up– though she was still very drunk. Yet now, her vision was a bit more clear and she didn't tumble around anymore.
"Jungwon," she called out all of a sudden, "do you wanna know something?"
Jungwon met her eyes and he nodded, "sure, what is it?"
"It's a secret so you can't tell anyone, okay?" Jiwon spoke with raised brows.
"I won't," Jungwon said, his hand still gliding the wipe across her cheek.
"Like you really really can't tell anyone," she emphasised, not convinced by his words.
"I promise I won't tell anyone," he assured her and soon enough, she broke into a wide smile.
"Okay so like, I really really really like you," Jiwon confessed, her cheeks immediately flushing.
"You really really really like me?" Jungwon asked, in a teasing tone, a sly smile forming on his lips and his hand that was holding the makeup wipe fell down by his side. "How much?"
"Like, this much!" Jiwon exclaimed and reached her arms out wide, stretching them as far as they would go.
"That much?" Jungwon asked and she nodded eagerly.
His smile became wider and a giddy one instead of a playful one as he leaned closer to her. "I like you two times more than that!"
"That's not fair," she whined, her arms going slump, "You have longer arms than me!"
Jungwon only chuckled and began wiping her face again while she continued to complain about how unfair it was that her arms weren't longer.
Once he was completely done, he said a short 'done!' and Jiwon jumped off of the counter before going to wash her face by Jungwon's instructions. He also helped her put on some face cream, brush her teeth and found some more comfortable clothes for her.
"Thank youuu," Jiwon cooed once she entered her bedroom, wearing a white tank top and blue chequered pyjama pants. Her face was bright as she waddled over to Jungwon who was getting up from her bed and wrapped her arms around his waist.
He instantly reciprocated the hug, putting his chin on top of her head. The scent of her sweet shampoo, mixed with her fabric softener infiltrating his senses.
"Can you stay?" Jiwon asked, pulling away from him and meeting his eyes. "I have clothes if you want to borrow.
"I-" Jungwon stammered, suddenly realising he hadn't actually thought of what he was going to do after putting Jiwon to bed, only concentrating on her.
"Please?" she said and he couldn't resist.
"Okay," he nodded, watching as Jiwon's face lit up and she turned around to grab the said clothes for him.
"Here!" she said enthusiastically, giving him a white t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.
"Thanks," he muttered with a small smile and walked out of the room and into the bathroom to change.
Walking back into the room, he saw Jiwon laying on the bed, just staring at the ceiling. He turned off the lights and tried his best to navigate his way towards the bed.
"I know I already said it Won, but I really do like you," Jiwon whispered the moment Jungwon had laid down beside her and they both turned to lay on their sides, facing each other.
"I really like you too, Ji," he whispered back, and this time– with no tense bone in his body– he wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her into his chest.
He let out a content sigh while she buried her face into his chest, her small hands clutching onto the fabric of his shirt. He heard her mumble a small 'good night' before she fell asleep.
Just for a moment, he fought all of the signals his body was giving him, telling him to fall asleep, and he let himself enjoy what was happening.
For once, he didn't feel nervous or shy being this close to Jiwon. On the contrary he was calm, finding solace in her presence.
He wasn't scared that she would hear how fast his heart was beating. He wasn't scared to let her into his personal space. He wasn't scared of letting his guards down for her.
And most importantly: He wasn't scared of falling in love with her.
