Dawit groaned, phone blaring beside him. Right, class. He lazily turned in his bed and slapped a hand over his phone, turning off the alarm. This is the part where he'd sleep for a few more minutes, but he had an important project to present.

Unfortunately for him, his P.E. teacher was sick that day and couldn't meet for the first period, so he'd have to go to computer class all tired and unenergized

Dawit got off his bed and stretched his limbs, before making his way to the bathroom to wash his face. He grimaced at the dried saliva on his face, and began to clean it off.

After washing up, Dawit went straight to his closet for clothes. Since he lived in a small apartment, there were only two rooms. The living room and his bedroom, so he'd usually have breakfast outside.

He settled for a light blue sweater with white pants and shoes, considering he wasn't going to be doing much sports that day.

He slung his bag over his shoulder and left the apartment, making his way to the parking lot where his bike was parked.

Since Dawit had a few hours, he stopped by the park. He parked his bike and began strolling around the park mindlessly as he always did.

He watched kids play on the playground, smiling at their antics. He missed the time when he was a child.

Just then, something rolled and hit his foot. A doll? A pretty cute and high quality one, too. It's big black eyes stared into his soul, as if begging him to find its owner.

Dawit was planning on leaving it there for the owner to find, but it could easily be stolen, and something inside him made him want to find the owner himself.

And so he set himself on a mission. Whoever's this is, he'll return the doll himself!

Just then, the beep of his phone caught his attention. It was a message from Donghyun.

THE PROJECT

SHIT
OMW

Dawit completely forgot about that. Their group agreed to present first, so they needed the output as early as possible.

He shoved the doll in his bag and got back onto his bike. So much for a peaceful morning.

At least his school was close enough to the park, so he wouldn't keep his groupmates hanging.

When he arrived, he chained his bike to a pole and ran inside the building, hopefully fast enough. He was the leader of this project. He's not supposed to be tardy!

"I-I'm here!" Dawit announced through pants as he caught his breath. Finally, behind the bleachers where his group had gathered up. There Donghyun, Jaeyun, and Jiung waited for him.

"Took you long enough." Donghyun scolded lightheartedly. "You got the project?"

"Yeah, no worries." Dawit pulled out a USB and plugged it into Donghyun's laptop.

"Thank goodness! I wasn't ready to fail this semester again. You're the best leader." Jake thanked, practically on his knees.

"Always late, but yeah, good leader." Jiung teased, the other punching his shoulder lightly.

"And... There! Everyone know their lines?" Dawit asked, everyone else nodding in confirmation.

"Perfect. Let's practice?" Donghyun recommended.

Jake took four scripts out of his backpack and handed it out to the each of them.

"And start!"
