the intimate conversation between jaemin and aera continued, an exchange of stories and laughter that endured until the first light of dawn painted the sky. as the clock approached 7:30am, reality crept in, and jaemin, realizing the impending lateness, chuckled at the irony just as aera was about to share another amusing tale about jisung's baby days.

"i'm going to be late. my class is at 8," jaemin remarked, a lighthearted admission that injected a playful rhythm into the moment.

"hey, that rhymed!" aera laughed, sipping her coffee with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "but you go, i'll tell you later."

seizing the opportunity to spend a few more moments with the captivating girl, jaemin inquired about her class schedule, hoping to extend their time together by walking her to her class.

"it's at 9," aera sighed, a subtle note of disappointment lingering in her response. "and my shift ends at 8:30."

as jaemin internally questioned the nuance of her sigh, he dismissed it, attributing it to fatigue. "okay, well, i'll leave you alone," he awkwardly chuckled, turning on his heel. "i'll see you tomorrow!"

"see you!" aera's farewell carried a warmth that echoed through the air as jaemin stepped out of the coffee shop.

once jaemin left, aera, fueled by the lingering excitement of their shared moments, eagerly reached for her phone. with nimble fingers, she crafted a message to her friends, detailing the enchanting hours spent with jaemin, a testament to the connection that had blossomed between them in the early morning hours.
