"Everybody hurry!" Gowoon says as she tapes up some wall decorations.

"I'm doing the best I can!" I snap back, grabbing a roll of streamers, taking them over to a guy named Cho Rong.

He nods to me as a quick 'thanks' before hanging them up. I walk over to Jugyeong, who was setting up the small food table we borrowed.

"Do you think they'll like it?" Jugyeong asks as she re-adjusts the bowl of punch.

I chuckle.

"They'll like anything you do." I say.

She gives me a funny look and goes back to placing some more snacks on the table.

"Shh, here they come!" A guy named Taehoon whisper-shouts.

Everyone looks at each other before beginning to hide. I crouch over in a corner with Jugyeong. Someone turns the lights off before hiding themselves. I feel Jugyeong take my hand in the dark. I look over at her, seeing her outline in the dark room. I squeeze her hand and turn my attention back over to the door.

"Why are the lights off?" I hear Suho say as he opened the door.

He turns on the lights while Seojun enters behind him. We all jump up.

"Surprise!" We all say in unison.

Seojun and Suho stand there, clearly not sure what to do.

"You threw us a party for our last day at the hospital?" Suho asks nonchalantly.

"Don't sound so ungrateful!" Taehoon exclaims.

"Yeah, we worked hard on it." Soo-ah comments.

"Thanks, you guys." Seojun says.

"Mhm, thank you." Suho says.

-

"So, you were friends with Jugyeong at her old school?" Soo-ah asks.

I was eating some food in a small group with Jugyeong, Soo-ah, Taehoon and Soojin. I only met them for a few seconds when they came to set up for the party.

"Yeah. We met before then, actually."

"Oh, what was child Jugyeong like then?" Taehoon asks.

I notice Jugyeong giving me a worried look out of the corner of my eye.

"She honestly hasn't changed." I say. "She might be more clumsier, though." I say jokingly.

"Hey." She says with cake in her mouth.

The others chuckle, well, except for Soojin. She just smiles before going back to a frown.

"I'm going to talk with Suho." Soojin says before setting down her plate and leaving.

"Ah, they so clearly act like a couple." Soo-ah says as she watches Soojin walk over to Suho.

I start to choke on my cake. They all look at me, worried. Jugyeong rushes over to me and pats my back.

"Are you alright?" She asks as I still cough.

I hit my chest and nod my head.

"Hey, don't do that." She says quietly before taking my hand away from my chest. "Let's go get some punch." She says, excusing us from Taehoon and Soo-ah.

We reach the snack table and she grabs me a cup.

"Hey, how come Soo-ah said Soojin and Suho should be a couple? Aren't you dating Suho?"

She ignores me, pouring punch into a cup.

"Do they not know?"

She shakes her head, handing me the cup.
