“Woah. What’s up with you guys coming here holding hands? Someone will get jealous you know.” Yena said as the both of them just arrived at the table. Chaewon glanced at Hyunjin looking unimpressed making her let go of his hand.
“By the way, i have something to tell to you guys so listen up.”
…
“Who?!”
“Where’s the damn guy?” Hyunjin got up from his seat furiously.
“He’s long gone now.” Chaewon answered.
“Do you remember what that fu- guy looks like? I’ll give ’em a piece of my mind.”
“He’s gone! Don’t bother, Hyunjin-ah. I’m sure he learned his lesson already.” Chaewon said calming him.
“Tch.” Hyunjin cursed under his breath as he sat back down.
“But wow… i didn’t know you did Taekwondo before, Y/N-oppa.” Yuri said to him.
“I took lessons before. I’m a black belt.” Y/N’s image suddenly went up in their eyes.
“Looks like someone’s not gonna be brave enough to mess with you now.” Yena said making Hyunjin cough wanting to change topic.
“Anyway, so you experienced anger earlier?” He asked.
“From what you had explained to me last week, i think i was angry.”
“Wait, Hyunjin?” Yena turned her head to Hyunjin.
“We met last week at the park.” Hyunjin said answering Yena’s confused look.
“Guy stuff huh?” Yuri said.
“No. We just coincidentally met each other. I was frustrated due to work, and then there was Y/N who out of nowhere sat next to me. We started talking with each other then.”
“Oh~ Look who became friends.” Yena teased him making him scoff.
“It’s not like i hate him you know.”
“Whatever. So what did you talk about?”
“We were talking about anger and frustration, but i haven’t grasped the concept of frustration yet.” Y/N said.
“Ah~… Frustration is a feeling where you feel like nothing’s going your way, you know what i mean? For example. Maybe you studied all night for a test, and when the result got out, you got a bad grade. Or! when you did Taekwondo, have you ever met an opponent that’s hard to beat?” Chaewon explained to him as she asked him at the end of it.
“….i have. I almost lost to him actually because of something inside that’s making me…. ugh. That feeling was the same as when we were in the bus before, Chaewon-ah.”
“That’s it! I think.” She exclaimed.
“Is it?”
“Just to be sure, do you remember how it felt?”
“I do.”
“The next time you feel that sudden urge, quickly report to me okay?” She said as he nodded answering her.
“Okay, i think we got anger all cleared up. What’s next?” Chaewon asked.
“Happiness is done, sadness is also done right?” Yena asked.
“Sorry but, i still haven’t quite understand sadness.”
“You still haven’t gotten a good idea about sadness? I thought you said you figured it out before.” Yuri said to him.
“I did say that. Turns out it was much harder than i imagined because i haven’t experienced it yet.”
“We should work on that the next meeting we have. We’ll talk more about anger for now.”

“Okay class. I’m gonna need you all to pair up for this finals project that i’ll assign to you. Can i ask each of you to partner up so i can give my instructions?”
“Y/N. Looks like you’ll be paired up with me.” Chaewon said to him.
“Okay.” She answered as he’s focusing on the blackboard in front of him. Chaewon rested her head on her hand as she stared at his face.
He’s not as emotionless as i thought he would be. I thought he would act like an android or something like that.
She moved her eyes to gaze at his brown eyes with a dark void in the middle of it.
His eyes looks cool….
“Chaewon?” Y/N called her as he’s noticed that she has been looking at him for quite a while making her flustered.
“Is there something on my face?” He asked.
“A-ah. It’s nothing.” Chaewon stuttered.
Time skip
“We should do it now. The sooner we finish it, the better.” Y/N said as the both of them had just finished class. “Hyunjin can’t meet up with us today can he?”
“Yeah. Let’s go to the library then.”
“What about Yena and Yuri?”
“They both will probably have fun to who knows where. Which means it’ll just be the two of us today.”
“I see….” Y/N answered. She then glanced at his wrist looking at hia heartbeat sensor. She noticed that it’s rising bit by bit making her ask.
“Is your heartbeat rising?” She asked.
“Yeah. How do you know?”
“Your heartbeat sensor. What’s making it rise?”
“I don’t know. When you said that it’ll just be the two of us alone…. it just rose.” He answered without hesitation.
“Eh?”
“From what i’ve been learning so far. I guess i’m happy right now. The thought of being alone with you makes me happy.” He answered as Chaewon herself feels as if her own heartbeat is rising.
“Do you have any explanation as to why?” She kept her composure.
“Hmm….. i don’t really have any explanation.”
“Oh…”
He’s happy being alone with me? Hm~ does that mean he likes me?
“Can i ask you a question, Y/N?”
“What is it?”
“…..nevermind.” Chaewon suddenly backed off after thinking about a possible outcome.
Why is the thought of him saying no makes me sad?
They walked to a not-so-crowded library as there’re only a few people inside. Well, not really few since the library is big which made it seem like there’re only a few when in reality there’re more students there. They decided to grab a couple of books first to use as a reference so they can think of a topic to write about.
After about a lap of walking around the library to search what they were looking for, they looked for a seat to sit at and work there.
“Hm…. how should we start it?” Chaewon asked as she’s holding a few books to use as a reference for their work.
“By thinking of a topic?”
“Good thinking.”
After about half an hour of debating about what kind of topics they shpuld use that will be approved by the professor, they finally came to an agreement.
“Who knew thinking of a topic could take us this long?” She said to Y/N.
“We should rest a bit.”He said.
“Sure. Let’s talk about you Y/N.”
“Me? What about me?” He asked.
“How’s your emotion doing? Have you gotten better at figuring out how you feel?” She crossed her hands as she laid back on her seat.
“From how my brother sees it, he said i’m improving a lot. My mom cooked me a potato stew  which i’ve always wondered when she’s gonna cook it. When she finally served it as dinner last night, i said i liked it and she was ecstatic.”
“That’s good! You get a headpat for this Y/N.” She leaned towards him and patted him in the head while wearing a warm smile on her face.
“Anything you wanna ask?” She offered.
“I do have one question….”
“What?” Y/N paused before he launched his question.
“What is love?”
