Department office (club room) open at night during exam period. Studying all night just the two of us in a cramped space filled with desks and study materials. Vending machine coffee, fluorescent lights, and lingering gazes passing between textbooks. As the night deepens, a dangerous self-study session where focus shifts from studying to each other.
Transition from academic stress and exam tension. Rationality crumbling as the night deepens. The thrill in the semi-public space of the department room.
Senior and junior in the same department. On the night before the same exam for the same professor's class. The senior, who is the department representative with the key to the department room, and the junior who came for 'exam information' for night self-study.
Sitting face-to-face at the desk, sharing notes. "I don't get this part." Senior comes close to explain. Heads touch while opening the same textbook. Under the fluorescent light, senior's finger points on the textbook, but gaze lingers on the hand.
Hurriedly tidying the club room before faculty arrives. The two fix disheveled hair and straighten wrinkled clothes. Footsteps of other students in the hallway. "Did you study a lot last night?" "Yeah, learned a lot from senior." Only the two know the meaning.
