In the calm setting of their chosen meeting spot, Harin stood relaxed, her foot tapping impatiently against the ground, a silent plea for the brunette's arrival. The air carried a sense of anticipation, each passing second filled with expectancy. Yet, as time drifted by and the anticipated figure remained absent, Harin's patience dwindled. With a decisive exhale, she resolved to take matters into her own hands and seek out for him herself.

With his bag slung casually over his shoulder, the brunette dashed out of the classroom, eager to escape the confines of the quiet classroom. The hallways, typically bustling with students, now lay deserted, echoing his hurried footsteps. School had ended half an hour ago, but his determination to reach his destination remained unwavering.

Lost in his thoughts, he rounded a corner with reckless speed, oblivious to the figure approaching from the opposite direction. Suddenly, he found himself tumbling to the ground, his bag taking the brunt of the fall, only to be met by the surprised expression of Seungmin.

"Jisung? What brings you here at this hour? You're not in the studio, obviously, since I just came from there. What's keeping you here so late?" Seungmin's voice cut through the quiet of the hallway, catching the brunette off guard as he hastily gathered his bag from the ground.

"I, uh, you know..." Jisung's words stumbled out, his usual confidence faltering under the younger's inquisitive gaze.

Seungmin couldn't help but notice the unusual nervousness in Jisung's demeanor. Normally, he exuded an air of unshakeable confidence, but now, he seemed on edge, almost jittery. It was unlike him to be so flustered, especially in Seungmin's presence.

As the younger's suspicion grew, his eyes instinctively fell to the bag clutched tightly against Jisung's chest. Something wasn't adding up, and Seungmin was determined to get to the bottom of it.

As the younger approached the brunette, stepping closer with each stride, he noticed a sudden jump in the brunette's stance, causing him to take a step back. Before Seungmin could say a word, a voice erupted from behind the brunette, breaking the silence of the hallway.

"There you are! I've been searching high and low for you, oppa. You told me to wait, but it's been ages already. Do you even know what time it is? We only have 20 minutes left. I saw the lady leaving 15 minutes ago-"

Before the girl could finish her sentence, Jisung swiftly silenced her, his hand covering her mouth in a reflexive gesture. Startled, she attempted to protest, but upon catching sight of Seungmin, she fell silent, her expression shifting to one of nervousness.

The silence stretched, accompanied by the steady tick of the clock. Seungmin scrutinized the two figures before him, both fiddling nervously with their fingers, their eyes glued to the ground. "I swear to God, if you two are here to bomb the school, just tell me now so I can make a quick exit," he exclaimed abruptly.

The duo let out a gasp of surprise, lifting their gaze to meet Seungmin's. "What? No!" they both protested simultaneously.
