Saturday, 11:34.

San, lying in his bed, struggled to open his eyes.

S: Whaaa, I slept too much - he complained still half groggy.

He finally managed to get out of bed and sat at the living room table for breakfast. While eating his cereal, he took out his phone and opened the contact of his mysterious classmate. He pondered for a moment.

S - "It's the right time, no?"

He hesitated a bit before taking the plunge.

San
Hi Wooyoung, it's San :) Let me know when it suits you to start the work!

S - "I wonder if he's the type to respond quickly. He might be busy."

A few moments later, his phone vibrated.

Woo 😈
Oh, hey! 😁 I'm about to eat rn but how about we do it just after like around 2, is it ok for you?

San
Yeah that's perfect 😁 Enjoy your meal then!

Woo 😈
Thanks, see you later!

San smiled. Things seemed to be finally progressing and Wooyoung appeared more open than in class. San had never been so eager to do an assignment.

2:12 PM.

Woo 😈
Are you there?

San
Yeah!

Woo 😈
Awesome, wait i'll read the topic

The two boys analyzed the subject together and then agreed on what they would write in their assignment.

Woo 😈
Alright, so i'll do the intro and the first part and you do the second part and the conclusion, then we send it when we're done okay?

San
Sure, let's do that :)

San stared at his phone for a moment.

S - "We haven't talked much after all... Should I try to start a conversation?"

Before he could overthink it, he received a new message. A big smile appeared on his face as he read it.

Woo 😈
Btw, did you like how i named my contact?

San
Haha yeah! Found it cute!

Woo 😈
Oh really? Cute? That wasn't the intention 😂

San
Oh crap, what was the intention then?

Woo 😈
I wanted you to not expect it and find it funny

San
Well dw, you succeeded! 😂

Woo 😈
Cool!

Woo 😈
And what should i put for you? Cause just San is boring even though it's a pretty name

San
Oh, um... Let me think

Woo 😈
Oh ik! "San 🐱"!

San 🐱
A cat face??

Woo 😈
Yeah you look alike! 😁

Woo 😈
Alright, gotta go now! Good day San 🐱

San 🐱
Okay, good day Woo 😈 :)

S - "Wow... Is this the real Wooyoung? I like him way too much!"

San felt like a barrier had been broken. Now, he hopes Wooyoung would be just as friendly on Monday when they see each other in class.

He spent the rest of the afternoon writing his part of the assignment, sent it to Wooyoung and then settled in front of the TV to watch a series.

9:47 PM.

Woo 😈
I just read what you wrote, it's really cool! I thought you were a slacker, turns out you're a lil genius 😯

San 🐱
Glad you liked it! But why did you think i was a slacker!? 😡

Woo 😈
Mmmh idk you always sit at the back of the class and you never seem very focused during lessons

S - "Oh, so he pays attention to what I do in class?"

San 🐱
Well, no need to focus since i'm a genius, as you said yourself 😇

Woo 😈
Haha good one! I didn't have time to write my part, i'll do it tomorrow. Hope it won't be too bad compared to yours!

San 🐱
Okay, no worries :) You seemed pretty good when we analyzed the topic earlier, i'm sure you'll do great 👌

Woo 😈
We'll see 😁

Woo 😈
Alright, i'm going to bed now! Till tomorrow 🌙

San 🐱
You go to bed early! Goodnight mister marmot 🦦

Woo 😈
That's an otter, San

San 🐱
Yeah but there's no marmot emoji :(

Woo 😈
😂😂

San 🐱
☺️

San lay in his bed, feeling butterflies in his stomach.

S - "Is it official, are we friends?"

He felt like he would get along really well with Wooyoung now that he had glimpsed his true personality. His frustration of not being in the same class as his friends had gradually diminished.

S - "Maybe this year won't be so boring after all. Thank you, Wooyoung."

Conclusion of Chapter 6: There's no marmot emoji.
