"Who is she?"
"Jake this is a misunderstanding." Heeseung immediately clears up whatever speculation was forming in Jake's head. "This is Gaeun, a friend of mine."
"Uh my girlfriend is downstairs already Heeseung, I'm taking my leave now." Gaeun awkwardly says as she slipped away from the two.
"What happened Jake? Aren't you supposed to be in a party?"
Jake sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose frustratingly. "Why haven't you been checking your phone? And why is a girl at your apartment?" Jake asked all at once.
"I-I turned off my phone." Heeseung answered, stuttering a little because he was starting to get nervous. "Gaeun... She's here to..." He couldn't reply to Jake which made his situation even tougher than how it already is.
"Heeseung you can tell me." Jake said, only this time his tone was a lot softer than earlier.
"I'm failing."
He was taken aback by what Heeseung just said. He has been friends with him for so long but never once has he heard him every say those sentence. And he long believed the time he says that will never come. That's how much he looked up to his friend.
"Is it because of Hana?"
"No, it's my fault. I didn't want her to feel neglected so instead I neglected my studies." He explains, burying his face in his palms. "Gaeun has been helping me catch up. I couldn't find the strength to tell you all."
Jake sighs. "I supposed Hana doesn't know either."
Heeseung nods guiltily. "I owe her so much already. I'm afraid that if she finds out, she'll blame herself. I can't let her do that to herself."
"Heeseung." Jake takes a deep breath before he delivers the news.
"Hana's in the hospital. She fainted."

HANA
"Jihoon, she's waking up."
"Hana!"
Hana's eyes fluttered open. It takes her a few seconds to take in the fact that she was in an unfamiliar room. She turned her head to where the voices from earlier came from.
