"Someone I used to know. That's what he said! Can you even believe it?!" I complained when Jungwon tried to calm me down by gently rubbing my back with his small hands.

We are currently in Jungwon's room. As it got a little colder at night, we stopped for a short break at his place to get me a sweater, but it turned into a rant. Since I was too tired to cycle home alone, I stayed here. Our moms know each other so it was never a problem to spontaneously stay overnight.

"Is he joking? SOMEONE HE USED TO KNOW?? Ugh, after all these years. I'm going crazy now, Jungwon."

"What a jerk! But maybe he's ju-"

"No! He's so annoying. Fuck. He didn't even say 'a friend'. He basically said 'a stranger'. A STRANGER DO YOU UNDERSTAND??"

Since my face was already turning red, I took a deep breath to calm my bad mood.

"Anyway, I don't want to talk about him anymore. How was the practice?"

"I'm dying. You even made me ride my bike home because you were too angry. You idiot. I won't be able to walk tomorrow. You were the one who owed me." He looks like he'll kill me at any chance. "But it was so much fun. I even got a compliment from Jay. I think I'll dream about him tonight."

"Yuck, don't dream anything disgusting. I'll sleep on the floor just in case you do something strange while you sleep.", I said, half as a joke.

"Sure. I wasn't planning on letting you sleep on my bed anyway. Now go to sleep or you'll be late again. I won't wait for you tomorrow!"

THE NEXT MORNING, we went to art class tired cause we didn't get much sleep. After waking up, Jungwon was already complaining about his pain again.
We were sitting at a table in the back - so Jungwon could sleep a bit more - when the teacher started the lesson. Not long after, Jungwon's cell phone lit up when a message was sent to him.

"Jungwon, you should look at your message. It seems like something urgent." Jungwon refused to wake up and told me to check the message. I made sure the teacher wasn't watching and opened the chat.

I looked over to see Jungwon still half asleep. "You got added to the basketball team groupchat." I explained to him, but he still didn't move an inch, instead he yawned.
"..Kay, thanks. Anything important?"

"Just check out the schedule Heeseung sent in chat later. Next practice is on thursday already."

"Ugh, you were right. I have made a mistake. Please come on thursday too, otherwise I'll really collapse there."
