the pact drabble | the study date

You stretched your arms above your head, cringing at the series of cracks that followed down your spine. You missed the way Jinyoung’s eyes shot down to the few inches of your stomach that were exposed when your sweater rode up.

It was your fifth hour of cramming for your European Lit final exam, and you were completely over it. Your limbs ached, your eyes were dry from the reading, and you still barely knew the difference between Chaucer and Cervantes.

Jinyoung stared back down at his notes, tapping his highlighter against the paper. You knew he didn’t need to be here, in the library with you—he could probably teach the class by this point. But for some reason he was still here, even though the clock was nearing midnight.

“Don’t you have an early exam tomorrow? You should get some sleep,” you remarked, relaxing your arms back by your sides.

He shrugged, glancing up at you. “It’s just my calc class, nothing serious. I already have a 95 average.”

Oh, to be Park Jinyoung. You had yet to find one subject he didn’t excel at, and you’d known him for more than six years. It wasn’t like he spent all his time in the library rehashing his notes or memorizing paragraphs. He was just that guy, the one who paid attention in class and it was enough. If he weren’t one of your closest friends, you’d hate him out of pure jealousy.

“Ugh. You’re so annoying.”

Jinyoung smirked back at you, reaching his hand into his ziploc of chocolate candies. He tossed one in your direction, smacking you right between the eyeballs.

“Hey!” you exclaimed, rubbing the bridge of your nose. It didn’t hurt, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t guilt him anyway.

“Ooh, my bad. I thought you were being rude because you were hangry, so I thought chocolate would help.”

“You’re the worst,” you said, reaching across the table to swipe the entire bag of candies. “But you know, I am rather hungry, so I’ll take these.”

Jinyoung looked at you like you’d just stolen his most prized possession, lips nearly forming a pout as he shook his head at you. “That’s low. Stealing a man’s chocolate.”

You smiled, relaxing against the wooden library chair. You popped a handful of candies into your mouth, chewing slowly as you stared him in the eye. “Delicious.”

“You little-” he started, a smile pulling at his lips before it was almost instantly erased. His eyes flicked above your head. “Hey, hyung.”

You turned in your chair and almost choked, seeing Jaebeom strutting towards your table with his hands in his pockets. Quickly, you swallowed the chocolate in your mouth and wiped at the corners of your lips.

Jaebeom had a new ear piercing you hadn’t seen before, a silver chain dangling from his lobe. It complimented him so well, you felt your heartbeat quicken. It was like he looked more handsome each time you saw him.

“Hi, Jaebeom.” You straightened up, painting a smile on your face. “What are you doing here?”

Jaebeom ran his fingers through his hair, flashing you his million dollar smile. “Hey. Just finished up a group project. I heard Y/N from all the way around the corner and thought I’d come see if you needed someone to walk you back to your dorm. It’s late, after all.”

Your eyes lit up. “Um, actually, that would be great. We were just-“

“I was planning on walking you home. My building isn’t far...” Jinyoung cut in from behind you. You’d almost forgotten he was there.

“No, really, it’s okay. You should get home and get some sleep,” you told him, twisting around to face him and widening your eyes, praying he’d get the hint to allow you this precious alone time with Jaebeom.

Jinyoung pursed his lips together, eyes lingering on yours for a moment longer before he sat back in his chair. “Yeah, no, you’re right. I’m pretty tired.”

You instantly relaxed, turning back to Jaebeom with a grin. “Just let me get my things, and I’ll be ready to go.”

Jinyoung watched with a sour look as you gathered your notebooks and textbooks, shoving them haphazardly into your backpack. There was some sort of unspoken tension between the two boys, something you’d noticed recently. They had been the best of friends in school, and they claimed to still be close now, but something was... off.

They didn’t hang out like they used to. Jaebeom had new friends, Mark and Youngjae, that he’d met in his first year at college. You’d only crossed paths with them a few times, but they seemed like decent guys. Jinyoung spent most of his time with Jackson, his freshman year roommate, and only mentioned Jaebeom once in a blue moon.

Still, you mouthed ‘thank you’ just before you turned around, hoisting your backpack on one shoulder. Jaebeom smiled down at you and butterflies fluttered low in your stomach the whole way home.

Jinyoung turned in his chair enough to catch you through the window as you laughed at something Jaebeom said, his heart sinking low in his chest.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket, chewing onto his lip as he searched through his phone for a particular contact.

Jinyoung: Hey, Yeri. It’s Jinyoung from Creative Writing last semester. Wondering if you were free to grab a drink this weekend?
