AMY'S POV:
We were sitting in the library together for the group project.
I read what they prepared yesterday, and I'm happy to work with Bright and Day. They are serious about studies. At least this time I'm getting a feeling that I don't have to work extra.
We discussed the characters and stuff. Nanon was not here so I kept texting him the key points or just telling him what he has to do about the project on weekend.
I know he wants to be here but he's busy as the swimming club is going to have some kind of competition among seniors and juniors of all years.
Bright left too for his class, but before he leaves, I think I saw him stealing a glance at Joy. And my dear friend didn't even look at him the whole time.
Hah and she was telling me about this kind of stuff...
I glanced at Tankhun who looked bored as hell but didn't leave or shout at anyone. If I didn't catch him rolling his eyes in every few minutes, I might be wondering if he's sick or something... haha
As for me I worked all night, now my shoulders and neck were starting to give me trouble.
Joy and Day were discussing some characters in the Canterbury Tales and I just leaned forward to relax myself a bit and closed my eyes.

Tankhun's POV:
I was watching their boring as funeral group meeting. I was surprised to see their activeness. Why in the hell nobody was yawning after hearing this kind of discussion?
Nanon didn't show up, tsk. He's fun to talk. Now that he's not here, I kinda feel like a black sheep among these nerds.
After an hour Bright boy left too, leaving me with these stupid girls - not Amy, she's a genius.
I saw how dedicated she was to this stupid group study thing. She was massaging her shoulders and nape, is she okay? I kept looking at her but she didn't even spare a glance towards me. Now I don't feel... happy.
I came and sat before anyone but that evil Joy sat beside me and gave me a victory smile for some reason. I wanted to tell her that this chair was for Amy but that silly girl came and sat in front of Joy. Wonderful!
I was glaring at Amy, why didn't she just sit in front of me?
Day was sitting with her and that stupid Joy was on my left. Well, I'm not complaining as long as I can sit and see her...
I crossed my arms around my chest and started counting, if she didn't look at me before freaking hundred, I'm gonna throw a giant tantrum, making her embarrassed to heaven and hell.
Well, I don't want to but that's the only way to get her attention.
I was counting and counting...
Forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven...
She leaned forward to lie on the damn table, now I can't even see her face. I was frowning at her. I wanted to slap the table to make her sit straight but...
"She fell asleep." Day whispered while giggling. Joy stood and half leaned over me to see her.
My hand paused in the air just above the table. Instantly, I changed my mind and placed it lightly on the table.
"Should I wake her up?" Day asked
"No, let her sleep for some time, she's tired as hell. And that stupid didn't even realize that herself." Joy whispered lightly.
I furrowed my eyebrows at that.
"But we need to go... how can we leave her like this?"
"Don't worry, he'll watch her." Joy replied while giving me a certain look with a smile. I tilted my head and looked at her in confusion.
Damn Joy, I forgot where I was... Sixty-one or seventy-one...!
"You don't have any class in the next forty-five minutes, right?" She asked while looking at her wrist watch. Well, I don't know so I stay quiet.
"We are leaving her to you. And don't do anything to her. Do not touch her and do not disturb her." She pointed at me with a finger.
How dare she! I almost broke that finger. I wanted to shout at her but she continued...
"I know I know you are not that kind of guy. But it's just... she hates it when someone touches her so keep your hands to yourself. And let her sleep for half an hour, okay?" She explains herself and that makes so much sense so I just nodded halfheartedly... "Poor girl..." She sighed while looking at my sleeping Amy. "She never sleeps at night and then runs around the college."
"Why?" I interrupted.
"Sorry?" She lifted her round eyebrows.
"Why does she never sleep at night?"
"Oh that... Well, she had severe insomnia..." I gave her a look "You know what insomnia is, right?" She asked, making a face. Damn her! Whatever she even thinks of me! Yet, I just nodded. As long as they leave me alone with my beautiful Amy.
"Anyways, she's like that since forever. So let her sleep and rest. She tired herself to the level that her body gave up on her..." She was blabbering and I kept looking at Amy's head. "Take care, okay?" She stood up and tapped my shoulder.
As soon as they both were out of sight, I stood up and went over to sit with her. Now, I can see her face. How can someone soundly sleep on a hard table while sitting!?
Well, she's not someone, she's just Amy - one of a kind.
I was looking at her while wondering what she would do all night if not sleeping. Does she study at night too? I felt goosebumps at that horrible thought. Or maybe she watches series like me... I made a mental note to ask her later.
Her shoulders moved and her eyes were twitching a little. Is she shivering!?
I looked around and yeah, the Aircon is right above us. I stood up and went outside to find Pol who took my orange jacket earlier. He looked at me and then over my head to look behind me. Damn his height!
"Where are you going, Khun? Are you going alone?" He asked in his heavy voice.
"I want my jacket."
"..." He hid the damn thing behind him.
"Give it to me Pol. I'm not going to wear it."
"Then why do you..."
"She's shivering." I looked at him annoyed. To my surprise, he gave me the jacket without arguing any further. He was trying to hide his smile for some reason. Idiot.
.
By the time I came back to the same table. She was still sleeping. I smiled a little and put my jacket over her shoulders. She moved a little but didn't wake up, thankfully. I sat beside her again and saw a pink paper near her hand.
Well, I'm not a guy who just grabbed paper and started reading. But that's what I'm doing now. Hehe. I opened the pink letter well it smells nice just like a....
Freaking Love Letter!!
I sat straight on the chair while looking at the damn thing in my hand. Well, it's not right to read someone else's letter. But who cares? I was angry as hell, I looked at the sleeping beauty who didn't seem to know anything around her.
Calm down Khun. Maybe it's not what it seems to be...
Maybe it's not for her but me...
I laughed a little to calm myself down and open to read what's inside.
Hell with the world! As soon as I read the first two words the fire in my eyes is back.
Dear Amy?????
Who in college wants to die single!?
How dare whoever he calls Amy dear!!!?
She's only dear to me.
This freaking letter was written in flowering writing in red ink. Whoever it is from, their efforts are too obvious. Damn him...or her?
As I kept reading, I was burning with hell fire.
I read it once, twice, thrice...
Actually, too many times that I even lose count.
Now she doesn't need to read it. I can read it out loud as I memorize everything.
Should I throw it away before she wakes up? No, that would be pathetic of me.
Should I just show her the letter and inform her that someone has a crush on her and then throw it away before she even reads anything on it?
"What are you reading?" I heard a raspy voice.
"A letter." I answered flatly.
"What kind of letter?" She murmured.
"A love letter!" I did a good job, controlling the anger I felt inside. From the corner of my eye, I saw her surprised wide-awake face.
"Good for you." She whispered in a low voice. I turned to look at her. She was smiling...sadly?
"It's for you." I made a face.
"Really!?" Her eyes widened at that. She looked too surprised as if it was the first time that she got a damn letter. Does it?
"Do you want to read it? Or I just throw it away for you?" I asked neutrally.
"Well, I want to read it first..." She sat straight. I move my hand holding the damn thing towards her. As she was taking it, I tightened my grip on it 'cause I really really don't want her to read it.
She had to struggle a little to finally snatch the pink paper out of my hand. She was glaring at me, maybe she thinks I was messing with her. I smiled at her and she just rolled on her sleep deprived red eyes. Yeah, she needs to get a proper sleep.
She started to read it and I kept staring at her face to look at her expressions. I hope she didn't give it much thought.
Fingers crossed!

AMY'S POV:
It took me a solid minute to snatch this pink girly letter out of his hand. He was beaming like an idiot at me.
I started to read it and almost burst out laughing at the first two words...
Dear Amy!!!!!
Who in the world calls me Dear! Not even my parents did that to me ever. As I kept reading, it became hard for me to control my laugh. I had to bite my lower lip... it was that cringy.
And what's with the red ink? Was it supposed to be a death threat or something? And with the hand writing...sigh. Don't get me started. It was a mixture of a school student's and doctor's handwriting. Maybe I will manage to write similar to this if I hold the damn pen in my toes.
I finished reading it and placed it on the table. What should I do with it now?
Well, I don't want to throw it in college as someone else can read it too. And I don't want to rip it apart as maybe the one who sent it to me was watching me from somewhere. Sigh, damn my kind heart. I don't want to insult the sender's feelings.
I took a deep breath. Hold on, I smelt something... fruity? I smelled my fingers. Why does my hand smell funny!? I looked at the paper... Ugh, the scented paper!
I grabbed it and put it inside my book and threw it in my bag.
"Aren't you going to throw it away?" Tankhun asked out of the blue and I turned to look at him.
Oh, I completely forgot about him. He was glaring at me as he knew it too. I just smiled at him. He doesn't look happy for some reason. Is he mad that even though he's handsome and charming - I was the one who received a letter?
Nahh he can't be... Can he?
"Let's go to class." I stood up and grabbed my bag. It took him a minute to finally leave the chair as if he was thinking something deeply.
Well, I don't want to know so I just walked ahead.
The whole way to the class, he didn't utter a word which made me a little uneasy.
What is wrong with him today!?
