Monday came after an eventful weekend.

Autumn leaves started falling down every second, reminding busy people that it is actually September.

Honestly, Jihye never caught on to the calendar as well; he only realized that it was the off-season after seeing the brownish streets.


"Exams are fast approaching; did y'all already study?", Mark started as the group of five friends walked past the buildings.

"Me and Hyewon are studying together, that's for sure. Jisung?"

"Not yet", the male simply answered and looked over to the blonde omega, "Ji."

"Huh?", Jihye looked up, startled, making the dominant sigh.

"Never mind, continue whatever you're doing."

"Jiyang, we're in my building. Yours is just literally at the left", Mark pointed out.

"I'll try!", the blonde just replied while running.
