Jinyoung smiled to himself as he proudly looks at the dining table full of, Yugyeom's favorite breakfast dishes. He peaks at the living room to check the time on the wall clock, and feels even more proud when he saw that he had finished preparing all those things faster than he did the previous days.

'But that guy isn't still out of the bedroom? He was supposed to be awake by this time?'

He told himself, when he realized that there's still no single hint of, Yugyeom waking up. Usually, Yugyeom would be out now, clinging on him the whole time he's cooking?

Jinyoung finally removed the apron that he was wearing, and just decided to go wake the younger up himself, specially, he knows, Yugyeom needs to get to the Uni early today for their thesis defense.

He couldn't help, but smile and shakes his head as he saw the younger still sleeping so peacefully on the bed despite the alarm on his phone screaming beside him. He quietly walks towards him, and sat on the bed after turning off the alarm.

Jinyoung was in awe as he stares at his lover's sleeping face. He gently starts caressing the other's hair as he places a kiss on his cheek.

"Gyeom-ah, it's time to wake up,"

He whispered softly, and just chuckles a little when the younger didn't even budge, pitying him all of a sudden when he remembers how, Yugyeom stays up so late last night just to practice and review things for their thesis defense today.

But even though, Jinyoung pitied him, he couldn't let him oversleep right now, and let the younger's effort be put into waste if he got late today.

"Yugyeom-ah, please, wake up~"

He cooed as he starts to playfully bothers the younger's ear, slowly driving him awake.
Yugyeom finally stirs and groans, he unconsciously removed his boyfriend's hand on his ear and rolled on the bed instead, refusing to wake up, and making the older giggling on how cute he was right now.

"Yah, Kim Yugyeom, sun is up, you need to say hi to him now~"

He teased as he starts poking the younger's cheek instead to wake up him. Yugyeom whined cutely, still trying to drive his hyung's hands away from his face while muttering, 'I want to sleep more, hyung, please.'

"You can sleep more, but you'll be late for your thesis defense today, would that be alright?"

Jinyoung spoke and just sits beside him on the bed, waiting for the younger to wake himself up, and as expected, Yugyeom eventually let out a defeated groan when he heard that, and realized that he actually doesn't have a choice right now other than get up and prepare for the defense.

He finally forced himself to sit on the bed and just ended up cutely pouting his lips when he looks at his boyfriend on his side and saw that he was slightly laughing at him.

"Aigo~ are you still that sleepy?"

Jinyoung playfully cooed, cupping his boyfriend's face with both of his hands and squeezing it lightly.

Yugyeom ended up chuckling a bit, too, and hugs the older instead, snuggling his face on Jinyoung's chest.

"What time did you even sleep last night?"

Jinyoung asked while his hands has automatically starts plays with the younger's hair.

"Around 5am?"

"You shouldn't have stayed up that late, now you're still so sleepy, what if you dozed off, because of lack of sleep at the defense later?"

"I can't help it. I just want to make sure, I studied everything, so I can answer any question that would be thrown on me. I don't want to be black hole in our group, you know?"

"You're pressuring yourself too much. It wasn't that scary and complicated. You've work and participate diligently for that thesis, so it was basically written by you, everything on that paper was from you and your friends mind, there's no way, you won't be able to answer a question about it."

Jinyoung said as an advised based on his self-experience. Yugyeom pulls himself out of the hug to look at him before speaking.

"Easy for you to say that, because you're just plain smart, hyung. I know you love me and you might've think, I'm quite a smarty, too, but I'm actually not, okay?"

The younger said and crossed his arms on his chest. Jinyoung just didn't know how he would handle his cuteness anymore.

"Now you're laughing at me," Yugyeom complained and started pouting again. "Such a meanie."

He added, and Jinyoung chuckles even more. He feels a little bad to be picking on, Yugyeom so early in the morning, but he couldn't help it. Yugyeom's just too cute when he's like this.

"Fine, I'm a meanie. So, can you get up now and take a shower before this meanie, starts picking on you again?"

Jinyoung said as he finally stood up from sitting at the bed, tugging that blanket off of his boyfriend's body to make him get off the bed.

"Kiss me first, then?"

Yugyeom demanded, exaggeratedly pouting his lips to his hyung, waiting for him to give him a kiss.

Jinyoung rolls his eyes in a playful way and just sighed before leaning down, and kissing the younger's cheek instead, making him whining about it.

"Stop whining about everything and just go get a shower, you'll be late."

He said while laughing a bit and pushing the younger off the bed so he could tidy it up.
Yugyeom sighed dramatically and just get up in defeat. He was about to walk towards the bathroom when, Jinyoung suddenly called him again.

"Hm?"

He hummed as a response, but instead of answering him, Jinyoung quickly kissed his lips when he turned around, making him speechless all of a sudden.

"Shower quickly, okay? I've made breakfast for you."

The older said and planted another kiss on his lips. He smiled cutely at the younger before he started walking to the door.

"And anyway, Gyeom-ah, yes, I do love you, but no, I never once thought you're a smarty, okay?"

He said playfully, obviously, trying to pick on him again. He laughed heartily before going out of the door when he saw how the younger ended up smirking while shaking his head slightly.
Yugyeom was left there completely out of words.

'Such a meanie, seriously.'

ooOoo

"Why am I so nervous?"

"You're not the only one, Bam." Youngjae replied while he's trying his best to absorb everything on his review notes for the last minutes before their thesis defense. "I'm telling you guys now, don't hate me if ended up nuts in front of the panelists. I'm trying my best to be confident, but nothing seems to be entering my mind right now."

He said in advance, because his mind just keeps on blanking out. Hoping that his group mates will at least save him if ever he gets roasted with questions.

"You didn't even participate with the surveys and the last part of the papers, so I'm not really surprised that you couldn't fully get a hold of it?"

Bambam answered, trying to point out that, it was partly, Youngjae's fault that he couldn't understand the latter parts coz he's actually nowhere to be found when they're doing it. But as, Jimin on his side secretly gave him a 'Are you stupid?' look, Bambam immediately regretted saying and thinking like that. Now realizing that the reason why his friend ended up unintentionally skipping the last tasks is because he had to regain himself from his break up.

Luckily, Youngjae seems to not mind it that much since he's just so focus on trying to comprehend everthing, giving Jimin and Bambam on his side a sudden relief. Jimin only shakes his head slightly and goes back on checking their PowerPoint presentation, while Bam completely gave up on reviewing and just lolled on the lounge's sofa between his friends.

"Yugyeom must've studied so much last night. He doesn't seems nervous,"

Bambam said when he notice the tallest guy sitting on the other chair beside them while he's focus on his phone. Yugyeom lifted his head to look at him and smiled a little.

"Are you confident?"

Jimin asks. Among them all, he's the only one who looks really calm at the moment.

"I did studied the whole night, but honestly, I'm still not sure if I'll do good or not?"

"You look calm though?"

Bambam replied.

Yugyeom pulls out a faint smile and sighed. He doesn't actually feels calm as he look, and yes, he's a little nervous right now, too, but aside from stressing himself about their defense, Yugyeom just couldn't help but think of something else instead.

"You okay?"

Bam asked again.

"Huh? Yeah, I am."

"You seem to be thinking about something deep?"

"You sick?"

Jimin asks, too. Yugyeom just seem so out of it, today. He looks calm, yes, but he doesn't look that fine either.

"No, I'm fine. It's just that, I can't help, but think of, Jinyoung hyung's flight today."

He answered as he looks down on his phone to see if his boyfriend had texted him back.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, Jinyoung hyung's leaving today for their overseas film,"

"What time is he going? Will you drive him to the airport?"

Jimin asks. Yugyeom sighed again before speaking.

"His flight was later at night, but he needs to get to the airport before lunch for some things."

He answered and his friends only muttered an, 'Oh, I see.' After hearing that, kind of pitying him a little that he wouldn't get to drive his boyfriend, because of their defense.

'Well, that's life.'

The thai male thought.

They all go back quietly on their own stuffs after that.

Yugyeom has no choice but to goes back on reviewing his notes, too, after reading, Jinyoung's reply that he needs to go prepare his things now for his flight. He finally puts down his phone on the table and pick up his notes, trying his best to focus on their upcoming defense, but no matter how much he force himself, his mind wouldn't stop thinking about the older.

Even though, Jinyoung was picking on him when he woke up earlier, he's honestly so happy this morning. His boyfriend had made him the most luxurious breakfast ever, and he's so much extra sweeter to him, that he almost feels so overwhelmed.

Throughout the whole week, Jinyoung just wouldn't stop spoiling him with everything, from breakfast to dinner, he'll always make sure to cook something that would made him 'wow.' There was even a time, when he lied to his boss that he was sick, just so he could stay with, Yugyeom for his day-offs, which he actually had never done before. He would always wait for, Yugyeom's car outside his apartment building, too, and would kiss him as soon as he arrived. He keeps on showering him with too much affection that, Yugyeom himself needs to stop, Jinyoung from kissing him at some point, because he wouldn't get his papers done if they won't stop making out.

Yugyeom knows why, Jinyoung was spoiling him too much last week and until this morning. He completely know the reason. It was because they both know, Jinyoung needs to leave again soon for his job. It's not that, Jinyoung only does things like this when he's about to leave, he do things like that on a normal basis, but this time, he puts triple efforts for all of it, and, Yugyeom do appreciates it so much. He knows that, Jinyoung was just trying his best too, to maximize the remaining days of them together before being separated again for a whole two months.

He keeps on convincing himself to just enjoy every seconds of it before the older leaves, and he did enjoyed it so much to the point that, he almost forgot about the older's flight today when he woke up this morning. It just sinks in to him, when he notice, Jinyoung's suitcase out of the closet after showering.

'I couldn't even drive him at the airport today.'

And it really. He just wanted to hug and kiss him before getting on the plane, but he couldn't because he needs to stay here for the defense.

"How long will he be gone this time?"

Youngjae suddenly asks, now putting down his notes.

Yugyeom got back on his senses when he heard that.

"Two months."

He answered shortly, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at his friend when he heard him scoff.

"Two months? Aren't you scared?"

"What?"

Yugyeom asked, looking at, Youngjae with a faint hint of irritation. He didn't know why his friend's tone was suddenly making him feel a bit insulted.

"Oh, nothing, it's just that...Hyung will be away for quite a long time and, I hope he wouldn't turn out like some bastard I know when he got back?"

Youngjae said as a joke. But it honestly sounds so bitter and sarcastic as if he was remembering someone.

Yugyeom's ears ringed when he heard that, he immediately looks back down on his notes to hide the annoyance in his face.

His other friends noticed him being affected by it, but just choose to keep quiet, so they won't accidentally make it big, and besides it was, Yugyeom. They all know he has the most amazing self-control and the longest patience ever, he wouldn't just throw a table to his friend just like that.

On the other hand, Yugyeom wouldn't deny that fact that he find those words offending. He understand that, Youngjae may still be bitter about what happen with his relationship, but him talking about his boyfriend like that, it was as if he was saying that, Jinyoung was capable of doing the same that his ex-boyfriend had done. Which is ridiculous, because he know, his hyung won't ever do something like that.

'Chill. He's just still broken hearted. He didn't mean it.'

But even though he was annoyed at what he heard, Yugyeom was still trying his best to be understanding. Specially, he knows what his friend had gone through, and he didn't want to start a fight over such things.

"You guys, the group four?"

All of them lifted their heads when one of their classmate suddenly approaches them, telling them that they needs to stand by now at Room C, because they're next, thus making them all shaking in nervousness once again as they walk inside the said room.

", I don't think I can do this?"

"Yah, don't talk like that, you'll invite more negative energy if you say it like that?"

"What should I say then? That I'll surely nail it?"

"Yes!"

"I'm not gonna lie on myself, Park Jimin."

Bambam said and the girl only gave him a disappointed look.

"Yugyeom, you know what to do, when my mind suddenly gets blank okay?"

Youngjae said, setting up, Yugyeom as his escape pod.

"Save me, too!"

Bambam added.

"Hey, don't depend on me too much, I only studied some parts, not all of it."

Yugyeom complained, now feeling extra pressured when he heard his friends talking like this. Suddenly wondering if he's the only one who really did studied to that extent, because even, Jimin doesn't really look so confident right now?

"We're doomed."

"Who's doomed?"

Bambam flinches on his spot when someone suddenly whispers on his ear, turning around, he saw, Jungkook laughing at him.

"Yah! Don't just pops in like that!"

He whined, wondering why this guy just keeps on appearing out of nowhere?

"Sorry, okay?"

"Aish, this guy."

"What's up? Why is this thai so grumpy? Did you got an F at the defense?"

He asks as he puts his arm on the thai's shoulder.

"I swear to the moon, Jungkook, if we really ended up getting an F today, I'll blame it all up to you!"

Youngjae said.

"What? What did I do?"

"How the could you just say that!"

"I was just joking okay? Ya'll so serious."

He said while chuckling. Yugyeom and Jimin was just sitting there quietly in front of him looking so done.

"So, anyway, I guess, you guys are not done yet?"

"Obviously. We're actually next now, just so you know."

Jimin replied.

"What're you doing here anyway?"

"Does, Kim Yugyeom, didn't want me here by any chance?"

He said jokingly and, Yugyeom just smiled at him sarcastically. It's not that he was asking him to leave, it's just that, aren't he supposed to be doing stuffs at the council at this hour?

"Okay, okay, I'll stop kidding around," He said when he saw how they all look so done with him right now, "I just heard today's your defense, so I spare some time to check on you guys."

"You mean stress us more, right?"

Youngjae said and just groan when the latter playfully hit his arm.

"Well, fine, I can't do anything if you feel like that, I guess I should just leave then?"

He said dramatically and stood up from his seat, acting as if he was wronged.

"You..."

Yugyeom said between his sigh, not really buying his friend's acting.

"I just want to check on you and probably give you some tips, but..."

Jungkook added, now trying his best not to smirk when he saw his friend snapping their head up to look at him when he said that.

"I should just go—"

"No, stay!"

Bambam said and pulled him back on his seat.

"No, you guys—"

"We're sorry! Please give us some tips!"

Youngjae blurted out, and Jungkook started laughing.

"Wow, look at these jerks?"

He said laughing.

"Well, I didn't say anything, it's just them who keeps on being grumpy."

Jimin spoke, secretly wanting some tips, too.

"Alright then, I'll give you some," He started. But he couldn't help but laughed again when they all started scooting closer to him to hear some tips. "You guys....I really can't believe ya'll?"

"Aye, just help us if you will, stop making fun of us?"

Yugyeom plead. Jungkook just laughed at him one more time and eventually told them some helpful tips for their defense. The four other seniors only listens to him, being a lot more confident now, because of what they have absorbed from him.

"Wow, Jeon Jungkook, you're a genius, thank you!"

Bambam said while giving him a dramatic applause.

"I'll treat you a meal if this ended up well."

"Thanks, but whether you do well or not, I'm not putting my hopes up about your promise, Youngjae."

He answered and they just all laughed with that.

"Hey guys, your turn!"

Their classmate said after knocking on the room's door.

"Well, this is it."
