I woke up at the sound of my alarm. It's only five in the morning but I had to get up to prepare for school. I knocked on Yuna's door to check if she's awake but nobody answered.

She's probably still asleep right now.

"Yuna? Are you up?" I heard a loud thud and a faint ow! from the other side of the door, "Hey are you okay?"

"Wait! Give me a moment, I'm fixing my bed!"

I left her door and went downstairs to help mom prepare our breakfast.

"Hey honey, good morning. How's your sleep?" mom approached me and gave me a tight a hug before kissing my forehead.

"I'm fine! I'm just having a slight headache. The monthly exams are coming up again and I'm spending my time learning maths."

"Don't get too immersed in studying. Leave a free time for yourself, Saeji. We don't want to see our daughter having a hard time," dad came in from the back door while holding a newspaper and a cup of coffee.

We sat on the table like usual. Not long after, Yeonjun and Yuna joined us for breakfast. Our meal consisted of toasted bread with fried eggs and cucumber, paired with warm milk. Yuna drank coffee though.

"Thanks for the meal. I'll go upstairs to get ready now!" Yuna seemed like she was in a good mood. Yeonjun on the other hand was just like how he was yesterday, a straight face.

"Can I help you with the dishes, mom? I still have half an hour left," I offered to help her with the dishes but she told me it's fine. Dad also came back from the back door and helped her instead, "Then I'll prepare for school now."

After spending an hour for preparation, the three of us were now ready to go to school. Dad will drive again like the usual. Today's temperature was colder than yesterday. Though, there's still a few more weeks before winter starts.

"Eonni, I took a jacket for you. It's getting colder lately, you better not get sick," she handed me my favorite jacket and helped me wear it.

In fifteen minutes, we arrived at our school. Everyone was busy with their own lives. I saw the caviars in one of the school's gazebos. What are they doing there?

They can't be studying. Those guys doesn't study anyway.

"Saeji!"

Nicholas was waving to me from the gazebo. Beside him was Geonu and Ni-ki. It looks like the caviars are complete today, huh.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We're studying!" Jay shouted.

"If it was Geonu who said that, I'd actually believe you guys. But it had to be Jay hahaha!" I looked around saw Eunsun with Cheonsa and Seoji. It's not just Lali who was here!

"So, I convinced Eunsun to come with us." Lali was like proud mom who just introduced her daughter to her friends.

"Yup yup!"

Everyone introduced themselves to my friends. I'm glad that they were comfortable with each others presence.

"Actually, I called the presence of the mighty caviars here today because," Jake mimicked the sound of a drum with Jay pretending to play invisible drums beside him, "we're planning to go somewhere tomorrow!"

"We were so bored guys, we gotta go somewhere. I just realized that it's not fun if I were to go there with Jake alone lol." Jay frowned upon the thought of going out with only Jake.
