You could hear sniffling from the study space next to yours, which then turned into small, quiet sobs. Sure, you were now distracted from your research for your ten page essay, but your conscience stopped you from ignoring it. Instead, you reached into your bag, and withdrew a small chocolate bar, took a post it note and wrote a little message before attaching it and, as discreetly as possible, placing it onto the study space next to yours.
Minseok was surprised to see a small chocolate bar prodding his elbow.
Chocolate is not a solution but I hope whatever it is gets better soon !!!
He was surprised at the gesture, and kind of felt embarrassed at being caught crying in the library but to his defence, Tan was his first cat and her passing had been something that had hit him hard, on top of all the assignments he had and the stress of finding a job. He quickly took out a scrap piece of paper, and wrote, before sliding it over to his neighbour.
Thank you, kind person?? Sorry, what's your name?? - Minseok, 3rd year Economics
He waited for a couple of minutes, before receiving a reply.
Y/N. 3rd year Maths and stats. Do you feel better ? If you need to talk about something, feel free, I've been told that I'm a good listener.
After reading this, Minseok turned around in his chair, so he could finally see you over the partition between the study spaces. You did the same, facing him and gosh, Minseok swears his heart beat a little faster when he saw you smile.
"Shall we go to the coffee shop?" You whispered as he nodded. You hadn't seen his face before around campus but you couldn't help but marvel at how pretty he looked, even after he had just been crying.It was autumn and everything was dying but just then, you could feel a new friendship forming.
"I can't believe you two are actually together!" Your friend exclaimed, looking at you and Minseok and his hand in yours.
"Honestly, admit it - you guys have already been going out for the past two years, you just didn't want to admit it." Your other friend piped up, speaking in a matter of fact way.
You looked at Minseok, who was grinning back at you. From the day that you had met him in the library, to now, you and him had slowly gotten to know each other. You were lucky that you were now working close to the university where he was doing his graduate degree, which meant you would see each other most days. Minseok was now a constant in your life and you never wanted that to change.
