15.1 Pain

Yomo put his pen on the table at the supervisor's signal. He had finished his last midterm of the semester. Despite his complicated week, he was satisfied with his work. He had never worked so hard for an exam in his life, so much so that he had used all his free time for it, hoping to forget about Rau. He got up and handed in his paper before joining Nils and Jin who were waiting for him downstairs.

"Finally done with the midterms! Finally on holiday!" Nils rejoiced, raising his arms to the sky with a suddenly regained energy. "Barathon tonight? We haven't hung out for a while!"

Jin shook his head as he watched the little brunette waddle excitedly in front of them. Yomo smiled. His friend's high feelings felt good. He had put so much into these exams that he was as exhausted morally as physically. At a glance, Jin noticed the tall, dark-haired man's fatigue and followed up on Nils' proposal, much to the latter's surprise, who had expected to be rebuffed.
