Sunghoon sat in his bedroom, smiling at his phone.

Jake had used his charm to ask Heeseung what faculty his friend was a part of.

That's how Sunghoon found out that Sunoo was an Economics major.

Right now he was looking through the Faculty of Economics page on the schools website. He came across the Star Students section, and the first person he saw was Sunoo.

"Hmm. So he's cute and smart? Sign me up..."

A knock came on Sunghoon's door.

"Come in!"

The door opened to reveal his mother.

"Sunghoon, you're going to be late for school honey. Come on, I made breakfast."

"Thanks mom. I'll be down in a bit."

Mom smiled before closing the door.

Sunghoon looked back at the webpage and the photo of Sunoo.

"See you at school."

Sunoo's kitchen smelled of sugar and coffee.

This morning he had decided on doing something special for Heeseung and the rest of the swim team.

Since Sunoo was a member of the Traditional Desserts Club at school, he specialized in making Korean desserts for people to try.

Today he decided on trying his hand at making Hotteok at home.

Normally he would use the club kitchen, mostly because they had a bigger flat top grill for frying the Hotteok.

Sunoo's phone rang, and he took off his partially burnt glove to answer it.

"Good morning Heeseung!", he said.

"Good morning to you too! Do you want me to force Jake to pick you up from school as well?"

"Jake? Is he bringing you to school?"

"Yeah."

"Ooooooo."

"You shut it. We're just friends."

"For now. Anyways, yeah you can come get me. I'm making a surprise gift for the swim team."

"Oh yesssss, is it food? I love food. Is it snacks?"

"You'll have to wait and see."

"Aww come onnnn."

Sunoo laughed.

"Alright then. Keep your secrets little man. I'll text you when Jake and I are almost there."

"Okay then. See you in a bit."

"See you in a bit."

Sunoo hung up.

He made a few more Hotteoks  before turning off the stove and running to get dressed.

After a fifteen minute shower for the quickness, brushing his teeth, and brushing his hair, Sunoo came out of his bathroom, sliding his pants on.

Once his clothes were on, he quickly packed up the now cooled down pancakes.

As if on cue, Heeseung texted saying he forgot to text earlier and that he and Jake were actually outside.
