Now that I'm strong I have figured out

How this world turns cold

And it breaks through my soul

-

Nayeon decided it was time. It's been months now and she was finally going to do it. She's been waiting for too long.

"Go drinking with her or something. That'll break some barriers, if you know what I'm saying," Jeongyeon's finger guns pointed towards Nayeon was only reciprocated with rolled eyes.

"But she's not a drinker. She's just a sweet, kind, little-" Nayeon started, head rested on her hands in a dream-like state.

"Goddess of a human being, yeah, yeah, we've heard it all, Yeon," Jeongyeon interrupted and continued in a playfully mocking tone, "Please confess now so I won't have to hear about 'her innocent looking smile' or how 'each strand of her hair shines in the sunlight when she turns around' for another hour of my life."

Before Nayeon and Jeongyeon can fight over who can make the most annoying mocking noises, or rather who can give her the biggest headache, Jihyo decided to handle it once and for all.

"Listen, Nayeon, I'm only telling you this because I know you too well, but Jeongyeon, unfortunately, is right. And before-," Jihyo glared at Nayeon who was about to contest, "you question me, we all know you wouldn't have the guts to say anything without a few shots of alcohol."

"Wah... God Jihyo agreed with me. Call me Jesusyeon from now on."

Jihyo gave up on them both.

Nayeon spent almost a week mostly on her phone or just napping. She was well aware that finals were approaching, but recieving a message from her cute Mina was more important. She woke up after every nap (she should really be studying) hoping to see a little (1) next to Mina's contact name. Unfortunately, her hopes were shattered every time, so she tried for another nap. 

She hasn't spoken to or seen Mina in a few days. Mina was actually a studious individual in comparison to her. She fully understood Mina would be busy, but Nayeon missed her. She missed seeing her smile, when her eyes curved into those crescent shapes she loved.

"They're like little half-moons. But they shine as bright as a full moon, you know." She had told her friends at the cafeteria for the 50th time. Jeongyeon wanted to hit her across the head, but was scared Nayeon would only reply with something just as cheesy as "only Mina can hit me across the head".

Nayeon wanted to know if Mina smiled or laughed lately, not necessarily at her FaceBook tags, but at anything that Nayeon believed would be good to relieve her stress even for a second. Am i being too clingy or too weird? Why am I more worried for her well-being than my own academic results? She laughed at herself.

Frustration took over her. Finals were ending soon and it was the perfect time to ask Mina out for a drink. She wanted to ask in person, because she convinced herself that that was a valid reason to see Mina. Oh my god, I should really be studying, she mentally scolded herself. She swore she heard Jihyo's voice agreeing with her.

Too much time has passed - a day to be exact - for Nayeon to take it anymore. Nayeon got off from her bed and was about to text Mina until she was surprised to have received a text instead.

[2:14 pm][My. Mina] Are you going to the end of semester party our program organized?

She cursed herself for taking a nap and not seeing this earlier. But was she reading this correctly? Mina and party in the same text?

[5:38 pm][me] r u?

She knew of the party her lab class was planning. The whole class was invited for a night out at the club to celebrate the end of exams and stress. What she didn't get is why Mina, her sweet little Mina, would be interested in it.

[5:42 pm][My. Mina] You didn't answer my question.

[5:43 pm][My. Mina] I was wondering if you wanted to go together? You know, so we can both breathe after all this work... Or so I can breathe since you probably haven't been studying. :P

Nayeon felt it was weird. (She also felt offended from the not-studying remark, but it was Mina so she let it slide.) She knew Mina, the completely sober-(and beautiful)-reserved-and-would-rather-spend-her-nights-gaming-(and also beautiful) Mina, wasn't the type to suddenly ask this. Maybe the school work has really gotten into Mina and she really just wanted to go out. Nayeon decided she was just overthinking everything, and used this golden opportunity to accept. Jihyo was right, she needed a drink. But then again, Jihyo is always right.

[5:46 pm][me] excuse u, if u must know im studying chapter 5 rn :P but u wouldnt know coz i havent seen u in so long :(

[5:46 pm][me] and yes i would love to come, but kn
