❂ library

@KIM HYUNJIN Yi giggles a little at the look on Hyunjins face as she gives her a weak smile "Your right he is cute" I say softly and then goes to pull her laptop out of her bag and starts working on her own paper.

@NARI YI Hyunjin decided that she had been looking at the foreigner for too long and decided it would be best if she returned to writing her essay. Her fingers had fallen asleep as they had been hovering over the keyboard for far too long and started to gently shake her hands in order to get rid of the numbness. Looking around her to search for new faces, she noticed that someone new had actually come in within the time she was looking at the foreigner. The girl, who was wearing some high school uniform-esque attire, was seated relatively near her. Hyunjin thought that the girl looked like a character from a manga or anime that had come to life. Only then, she realised that the girl was looking at her and she felt her ears grow hot. Had the girl caught her staring at the foreigner? Did the girl think she was a creep? Hopefully not. She quickly gave a weak smile at the girl before looking away and returning to her essay.

@GEORGE MILLER Hyunjin's essay was unfortunately left as a work in progress as her fingers lingered over the keyboard and her eyes looking away from the screen. Being easily distracted was something Hyunjin always reminded herself to take note of, just before she got distracted by something else, usually food or something. But still, she could not help but continue to observe the foreigner, noticing that his mouth was never open, but hands always at work, writing down words on a piece of paper then passing it back and forth between his tutor. Hyunjin was unable to stifle her giggle in time, receiving looks from the people around in the library, including the attention of a girl sitting near her and her tutor. The tutor walked over to the desk Hyunjin was seated at, knocking on the table to get her attention before asking her if she understood the material. Shaking her head, the tutor explained it slowly, which helped to get the essay going as well as save the foreigner from her not-so-discreet staring.

Having finished with the body of her essay, Hyunjin decided to reward herself with a much-needed toilet break, and maybe walk past the foreigner to get a better look at his face, since having a model, and a foreign one at that, would help her with painting, even if the model did not know that he was modelling. After arranging her books neatly and asking her tutor to help "reserve" her seat, she got up and tried to push in the chair as quietly as she could. Apart from a few squeaks, the chair had been pushed in successfully, allowing Hyunjin to walk towards the exit of the library, specifically taking her time as she walked past the foreigner's desk, trying to take a clearer look at his face.

However, his head was down looking at his notes and in order to stall time, Hyunjin quickly bent down to tie the laces of her trainers, side-eyeing the foreigner to see when he would lift up his head. Seeing that he had turned to pass the note to his tutor, which meant his head was up. Overly excited to see a foreigner in real life, Hyunjin's rise from the ground was not the most graceful, her hip knocking against the desk of the foreigner. Hyunjin quickly bowed repetitively to apologise, unsure if she should apologise in English or Korean, so she ended up like a spoilt robot, bending forwards and then back. So much for being discreet, she thought.

@KIM HYUNJIN Yi had wondered into the library to look for a spot to get some work done, she was wearing an outfit that looked like some high school uniform, her top even had a school crest on it, though it didn't look like any from around here. and her hair was pulled back in a lose ponytail that hung over her backpack as she looks around for an empty table. She knew she didn't have to wear this to college, and heck she never actually wore a uniform to class even back in high school as where she's from most schools didn't have such a requirement. Still it helped her feel more like studying which she needs. she eventually finds a table near Hyunjin and miller and watches them both for a bit as she sets her stuff down, and settles in to the chair being at first they where right in front of her then she noticed that she was mostly staring at him and thought that was interesting.

@KIM HYUNJIN George had been in the library for a tutoring session since hi grade weren't really up to par. He was trying so hard, but having to juggle all of his jobs, and taking care of a handicapped child, dealing with his own bad health, was just too much on top of school work, too. He lacked balance. Which, to be honest, was probably true of all college kids. High school had been so much easier, from what he could remember of it anyway. And, high school was kind of a pain, too, since he had went to a Japanese high school. But, whatever, it didn't matter. He was never going to be quite as successful as he wished he could be, since things kept getting in the way. But, at least he could just keep fighting and keep pushing for what he wanted. Which was why he was here, to try to understand his schoolwork better so he could raise his grades, if only by a point or two. His head ached, and the session hadn't even started yet, the tutor being late and all. He was trying to figure it out on his own as he waited. Finally, the damned tutor came in.
"Hello, George," said the tutor. He didn't even say anything back. Just gave her a dead-eyed look that read "tutor me now, ". She could clearly tell he was annoyed since she had made him wait. He usually wasn't an , but this kind of thing pissed him off. He didn't mind people being late, but they could at least let him know before hand that they'd be a bit late. Plus, he was mad at himself for needing tutoring in the first place. Ever since he started college, all he felt like was a total failure. Hell, if it weren't for his precious child, who knows what he would have done to himself by now...
The tutor explained stuff and he took notes. When she gave him a problem to solve, he solved it on paper and handed it to her, not bothering to speak the answer out loud.

@GEORGE MILLER Hyunjin's eyes wandered around the quiet library, looking at the other people with their heads buried in their textbooks. Her tutor had left to help another student after teaching her about a concept in the history of art, leaving her to let the information sink in. The sudden wave of information was too much for Hyunjin's small brain, and like a food coma, left her mentally drained; a study coma. But she would much rather be in some food coma instead of a study coma at that moment, her stomach growling. But of course, with the librarian's warning ringing in her ears the last time she was caught eating bread, she never tried it again. So, without a canvas to paint nor food to eat, she turned to her third favourite hobby to help her relax: people-watching. Tutoring sessions were always packed during this time of year, with exams around the corner. Hyunjin scanned the room, looking for interesting people, something special. She observed a few people; a boy scribbling notes, a smaller-sized girl sleeping head-first on her book, a guy she recognised from a lecture listening attentively to his tutor, before her eyes fell on a man sitting by the side. Hyunjin did not recall seeing him before, which would not be a surprise, with the many people in college. She could tell that he was foreign, which was interesting, since she had not met many people from outside of Korea even during her time in college. But unlike what she had heard about foreigners, in between writing her essay, whenever she looked up, she could see that he was more reserved and kept to himself, unless he was very focused on whatever he was doing. Perhaps it was the latter, and he had different sides to him. People with different sides were confusing, but interesting. It would be nice to see if he showed anything different besides his quiet self. Hyunjin decided that she would have to continue to observe him.

@DONG SICHENG /purses my lips slightly and nods slowly to what you said/ that's understandable- /nods again; my eyes lighten up and a soft grin rests on my lips at what you said/ i could help you with your korean, sicheng /offers a sweet smile and wiggles my eyebrows playfully/ i'd still call you sicheng- and i'm not a pufferfish /pouts slightly and pokes your cheek gently

@CHOI YOOJUNG *hums softly* I guess I just wanted a break from my family. *tilting my head as you asked me your question* I'm not the best in Korean and I was born in China so, that's why my friends call me Winwin. *laughing softly, my eyes slightly sad* They couldn't pronounce my name, pufferfish. *smiles cutely*

@DONG SICHENG law was actually a major i wanted to take- but psychology got me, i guess. why do you have to leave though? /smiles sweetly and tilts my head as i hear you stutter again/ sicheng, you won't mind me asking, right? but why do you stutter? /grins shyly and puffs my cheek slightly

@CHOI YOOJUNG I wanted to take law because honestly it seemed appealing. It was one of the ways from my family, despite having to leave. *stuttering slightly on the unfamiliar words I rarely used I smiled a smile I hope was convincing* I'm actually not sure. *laughs slightly*

@DONG SICHENG oh, alright then- thank you, sicheng /flashes you my eye smile again and grins cheekily.
oh it definitely is fun. /nods a bit with what i said, my eyebrows slightly furrowing as i noticed you stutter/ what made you choose law, sicheng?
