And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:17

“So, Krys,” began Minhyuk as the two waited for Professor Song to enter, “when do you want to get together to work on our project?”

Her face blanched because she had pretty much forgotten about their project. Ever since the last time they got together to discuss it, Krystal had only touched it once or twice, and it was nearly two weeks since then.

Minhyuk watched her fight the panic from settling on her face, and despite being amused, he tried to mask it by sighing. “You forgot, didn’t you?” he accused. He tsked in mock annoyance. “And after you promised to be a good partner…”

Missing his teasing tone, Krystal tried to defend herself. “I am usually! It’s just that I was really busy over the weekend because my sister insisted on having a sister’s day out-”

He raised his hands in slight alarm. “Whoa, Krys, I was just joking. I know you’re a great partner,” he told her gently, and she visibly relaxed before lightly punching him.

“Not funny,” she grumbled.

Grinning, he opened his mouth to continue talking about the project, but just then, the sounds of heels resonated from the hallway, and everyone madly scrambled to his or her seats before silence fell as Professor Song entered.

As she began class, Minhyuk slid a note to Krystal (now a tradition between the two during that class) that read, Wanna work in the library after school?

Krystal smiled and scribbled back, What time?

From 5-8? he suggested.

Sure :)

They didn’t realize it, but just like that, they had made yet another tradition between them: study sessions. In other words, an unofficial library date.

Minhyuk and Krystal were diligently researching and discussing their project until they witnessed something rather unfortunate.

A female student, whose name the two didn’t know, was tightly clutching a piece of paper in her hands. By the looks of her, she was a first year student who was about to confess.

When the girl stopped a boy who just rounded the corner of a bookshelf, both Minhyuk and Krystal widened their eyes.

The boy was Taemin.

What was this girl doing, confessing to Taemin who already had a girlfriend? Did she not know about his relationship?

Needless to say, the confession didn’t go well, and the girl ran off crying, with a helpless and apologetic Taemin staying behind.

Neither Krystal nor Minhyuk felt as if they should have watched such a private moment, but it wasn’t their fault that it took place near them. Minhyuk shook his head when the girl ran off crying before going back to his work, but Krystal stared after the girl, understanding what the girl must be feeling.

For Krystal had once been in her exact position.

She had once tried confessing to Taemin, resulting in rejection and humiliation in front of several of their mutual friends. After that, their friend
