After spending the weekend at the farm house, it was now time to go back to reality. Tests, recitations, readings and so much more to do are ahead of me. Again, it's Monday morning which is the time and day that I resent the most.

I just wish that in a blink of an eye, it'll be Friday.

"Good luck on your school," Jihoon uttered as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, whatever," I muttered back as I hopped off and made my way to the campus with my binders, full of files which I held in my arms, hugging it against my chest.

Mentally, I'm in my bedroom right now.

I was walking in peace, but then I felt an arm wrapped around my shoulder. "What's up, bestie!" Mingyu exclaimed with a grin as he handed me an iced coffee which I immediately took a sip from.

As soon as the ice-cold bittersweet drink hit the bed of my tongue, it was game time.

"Personality: activated," we laughed as we made our way to the library.

"Why are you so happy today, huh?" I asked.

"Me? I'm not, I'm just trying to get through the week because it's hellish!"

"Anyways, the bar is in three months, have you started reviewing?" he asked, as we entered the library where we got to our usual spot.

"I've been skimming, but I plan to start reviewing for real next week," I responded, as we laid out our books on the table.

"How about you?" I asked, as Mingyu began to plug in his earphones.

"Same, do you want to study together again? just like what we used to do during midterms and finals?" he asked,

"Yeah sure, that'd be great,"

"How about we invite some other people too?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah sure, we can. I don't really mind who--I mean, I'm literally close with almost everyone in our block," Not just the block, Mingyu's friends with almost everyone in law school; from freshman to our level.

As usual, Mingyu and I reviewed together and attended our lectures. I am thankful that we only discussions and next week will be the recitation. Nonetheless, it was a chill, ordinary day which I didn't expect for such Mondays.

"Hey, I'll go home now," Mingyu said.

"Yeah sure, take care. Bye!"

"Bye!" we bid goodbyes as he left. The lecture ended early, so I messaged Wonwoo to pick me up. I decided to just message him since I'm pretty close with that guy unlike with Jeonghan.

Since he's still not here, I made my way to a nearby convenience store to buy myself some snacks to eat while waiting. I got out with a plastic bag, filled with tons of chocolates and chips. I was walking peacefully back when I felt someone covered my mouth and pulled me to an alleyway, causing me to drop the plastic bag I held.

"Scream and you'll die," I felt something sharp, cold, protruding on my side. I stood frozen ion my spot, tongue-tied and too shock by the sudden situation.

"P-Please let me go,"

Wonwoo's POV

"Will Jeonghan be at the house tonight?" Soonyoung asked, through the phone which was connected on the speaker of my car.
