Eunji's eyes fluttered open. She blinked a few times before she noticed that her head was leaning on Luhan's shoulder. She froze momentarily, not knowing what to do. She also felt Luhan's head against her own. The sound of his soft breaths was all she could hear in the silent library. Class must've started already, but Eunji didn't want to wake up Luhan. Or maybe she just didn't want to move from such a comfortable and close position. In fact, if anyone was to see them, they would've thought they were girlfriend and boyfriend. Eunji smiled at the thought.

Wait a moment, why was she smiling? Eunji took in the fact that she was actually smiling at the thought of them being girlfriend and boyfriend. Was she growing feelings for Luhan? She casted her gaze over both of their legs stretched out in front of them, side by side.   "Omo! What are you two still doing here?!" The librarian suddenly appeared in front of them, holding a stack of books.   Eunji's head shot off Luhan's shoulder out of shock.   "I-I, we fell asleep so..." Eunji stuttered, blushing at the fact they were seen together like that.   Luhan had also woken up and noticed the situation.   The librarian raised her thin eyebrows and looked at the watch on her hand. "You must've had a good sleep, it's almost time for lunch."   Eunji covered her gaping mouth with her hand. She had known they were into class time, but not by that much. They must've been sleeping for at least 3 hours. Their classmates must've been suspicious by now.   "We'll get go-"   "No it's fine," the old lady interrupted. "Just continue what you were doing, no point in attending class for the last 5  minutes."   The librarian gave a knowing wink and gave a subtle nod before passing by the aisle.   Eunji was left in surprise, the lady must've thought they were dating! She slowly turned her head to look at Luhan who had remained quiet for the entire situation. He had his head laid back on the wall and his eyes slightly open to  gaze calmly back at her.   "Yah, why were we in that position?! You're the one at fault aren't you?!" Eunji whispered menacingly, although she had to admit Luhan looked even more beautiful after a nap with his noticeably long eyelashes.   A smile tugged at his lips. "No, you're the one who leaned on my shoulder after falling asleep," he lied.   "Then why was your head leaning on mine?" Eunji retorted.   Luhan shrugged sleepily. "I fell asleep?"   Eunji pretended to be mad and quickly got up to her feet. A wave of dizziness washed over her and she felt herself stumble back. She felt a hand grab onto her shoulder before she hit the wall. Blinking multiple times, she was finally able to see clearly. She looked up at Luhan and noticed his concerned expression. How did he get up so fast?   "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly. His sincerity surprised her.   "Y-yeah, thanks" she stuttered. "I guess I got up too quickly."   Luhan furrowed his eyebrows. "You need to be more careful."   "Okay..." Eunji was still conscious of his hand around her shoulders. She felt so safe and secure, it was weird. "Uh-um, you can let go now."   Luhan immediately removed his hand. "Ah, sorry."   Eunji nodded awkwardly. "Should we continue on with our project during lunch then?"   "Yeah," Luhan said. "We should get our stuff from our lockers and come back here."   Eunji smiled. "Sure, I'll meet you back here soon."   They walked awkwardly out of the library, bowing to the librarian who gave them a mischievous grin. Old people were too interested i
