Gumi leans back and stretches, taking the time to look around the nearly empty library. It was Sunday, after all. And it was Valentine's day too, so she wasn't surprised that the almost-always busy library was considerably less occupied. She rolls her head from side to side, stretching out the aches in her neck, before focusing her attention on her Literature paper again.
Two hours later, the library had cleared out until she was one of the only ones left. Gumi stands and packs her bag, ready to return to her dorm and knock out for the next twelve hours or so. She looks outside and sees couples walking hand-in-hand, and convinces herself that no, she is definitely not jealous that they are out having fun with their significant others while she is spending her time in the library, alone.
What she is jealous of, though, are the boxes of sweets that each one of them seem to be carrying. Baekhyun pouts as she swings her bag over her shoulder and makes her way out of the library, only to yelp in surprise when she almost bumps into a tall girl at the library's door.
Before Gumi can even sputter an apology, a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a single, red rose is thrust into her hands, and the girl turns to rush away, only allowing Gumi to see her retreating back and her dark hair peeking out from the hat she was wearing. Gumi looks down at the box of chocolates in her hands and smiles when she spots the familiar pink sticky note.
Dear Gumi,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Love never crossed my mind
Until the day I met you.
Sincerely,
Y
Gumi can feel her face heating up, and he thanks all of the cake gods in existence that it's dark out so that no one can see how red her cheeks are. She opens the box and picks out a chocolate, popping it into her mouth.
Lindt. Did this person know she loved Lindt chocolates or something?
Now she can't hide the big smile on her face the rest of the way back to her room.
Dat plot twist dou.
