"Hello?" a groggy Sunghoon said as he answered his phone that had just caused him to wake up. 

"Yo, buttercup," he heard. "Are you free today?"

Sunghoon glanced at the screen to find out that it was Somi who had called. 

"Um... no, actually," he said rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "I have a trig lesson today."

"A lesson? Dude, it's Sunday."

"Yeah, it's a private tutor that my dad set up for me."

"Uh, well, I don't know how to tell you this but you know that project you, me, and Taehyunie were doing? Yeah - it's due tomorrow."

Sunghoon felt a shock as he slowly began to realize that it was true. He had been so hung up on his perfect Jaeyoonie that he had completely forgotten about the project.

"Shi-"

"Hello, Somi? Yeah - I just cleared out my lesson for today and- What do you mean you're on your way- No-"

Sunghoon was befuddled as he looked at his phone. Was Somi coming to his house? Did she even know where he lived? 

Not sure what was going to happen that day, the boy sat up on his bed to take a shower when he noticed a picture frame on the floor - he must've knocked it down as he fell asleep.

The sight of the picture immediately caused the events of the day before to crash down on the raven-haired boy like a ton of bricks. 

"Jake," he said with a sigh as he closed his eyes. Frustration built up inside of him as he wondered how he was going to explain what had happened to Jake. 

To be honest, he didn't even know completely what had happened. He just knew that sometimes, not often, he would feel symptoms of a panic attack - sweating, chills, etc. He also knew when they occurred.. They happened whenever he thought too much about.. his mom.

Sunghoon clutched his phone, still wondering how he was supposed to talk to his boyfriend who he had just left behind the day before.

But before he could decide to do anything, his phone lit up again showing the boy a text from Somi.

'This is your address, right?' it read, followed by Sunghoon's address down to his apartment number.

"Wha- How did she know my-"

Sunghoon's phone gave him another notification, from Jay this time.
