“I heard the world was going to end in three weeks.” Jinri says over lunch. She looks Soojung in the eye, “What do you feel about that?”

It’s only the two of them in the lunch table. They didn’t have to worry about anyone else sitting down with them, but Soojung doesn’t really wanna look further into that.

“I don’t know. We have a research project due in a month, so, I guess that’s good.” Soojung pauses to chew her greens. “That the world is ending. That is good.”

Jinri squints her eyes. “Well, you sound enthusiastic about it.”

“Yeah, as long as I get to spend it with you.” Soojung lightly laughs. This is the first she has genuinely laughed in a very, very, long time. “Ew.”

Jinri simply rolls her eyes. (Soojung doesn’t miss the way her lips had turned into a lopsided arch.)
