"Oh just end me already." Chaewon lamented as she slumped her head on the table. The trio were currently studying for yet again several mini tests for the other subjects, mainly the humanities, and Chaewon's patience was running out. Writing essays wasn't her strong suit.

"You can't give up, Chae. This isn't even mid years." Wonyoung said, as Taerin was in her hyper focused mode and had paid no attention to her friends.

"If this isn't even mid years then why am I studying so hard?"

"Because if you fail, the teacher will make you go for remedial lessons. And you already have chemistry and physics remedial. Do you want more?"

"Oh come on. I should have studied for the sciences."

"Yeah, well there's no point in regretting now."

"Aw."

"Cheer up. Let's grab some fried chicken after this. My brain is fried after studying for so long."

"Hell yeah. Yah, you coming right?" Chaewon nudged Taerin.

"Huh?" Taerin just looked up, evidently having not heard a word they said.

"Fried chicken."

"Oh yeah, sure." She replied beforr returning to studying. But her focus was soon broken again by the buzzing of her phone. She quickly answered the phone call.

"Hello? Uh huh... now? But there's a geography test tomorrow. The teacher said it's urgent? Oh come on.... But our school's anniversary is weeks away! Okay, okay. Yeah yeah, I know. The sooner it's done the better. Yeah okay! I'm coming." Taerin quickly hung up and started packing her notes.

"Huh? Where you going? Who was that?" Chaewon asked.

"SC meeting. That was Jungwon."

"Oooo, I see you've gotten closer."

"Shh. It's called.... we work together."

"Yeah yeah, tell yourself that." Taerin just rolled her eyes as Chaewon grinned cheekily.

"I'll see you guys later."

"You sure you can make it? What if the meeting overruns?" Wonyoung asked.

"Oh, trust me, when Jungwon is there, meetings hardly overrun."

"Wow, such praise for your partner. I sense some admiration~"

"Kim Chaewon, if you don't stop saying bullshit, I will deny you fried chicken on purpose."

"I'll shut up now. You run along."

"Right, bye. See you." Taerin then promptly left the library, leaving the other two to drown in a misery of geography textbooks and case studies.

"Whoah, you didn't need to run." Jungwon said, grabbing Taerin's bag for her as she entered the SC room, panting.

"I... You... said it was... urgent."

"The teacher said it was urgent. And urgent doesn't mean 'get it done right now' in a matter of seconds, it means 'get it done ASAP, when you're available'. Drink some water." Jungwon took her tumbler from the side pocket of her bag, but realised it was empty. He then set the bag down and gave her his water bottle instead.

"You sure?"

"What? You got Covid? Or any infectious diseases?"

"No."
