"Make way, peasants, the graduation party planners have a party to plan.", I smile as I slightly push Jiseok over and take a seat beside him on the picnic bench on the gazebo.
Jiseok smiles as he, as always, passes me half of his sandwich. I take a bite out of it and set it down on the lid of his lunchbox.

It was still the seven of us here. Jooyeon and Eunwoo both ate too much sugar at Kijae's party and is now suffering the consequences.

"You guys are the planners?", Hyeongjun asks as he finishes off his fruit bowl he had just bought at the shop across the campus. Eunmin nods her head as she opens up her rice bowl she had delivered from a restaurant.

"We sent out two surveys about the theme, and disco won.", Eunmin smiles, then looking at me, "We're going to need to look for dates to the party."

Seungmin then chokes on his apple slices. Jungsu rushes to give him his water bottle while also smacking Seungmin's back harshly to try and help him.
"The hell's up with him?", I laugh as I then take another bite of the sandwich Jiseok had given me.

"Do we need dates?", Jooyeon frowns as he then hooks his arm up with Hyeongjun, "Was kind of hoping I could just go as a proud gay man with this guy."

"I'm going to get sick..", Hyeongjun fake gags as he pushes Jooyeon away from him, continuing to finish off his watermelon slice.

I then feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I frown as I take it out, then reading the caller ID.

'Kijae's school'

I furrow my eyebrows as I tap the green button, putting my phone up to my ear.
"Hello?", I call out. The table then falls silent as soon as they noticed that I was on call.

"Is this Jan Kijae's older sister?", a voice asks from the other end. I then recognized it. It was the school's secretary. How do I recognise it so easily? Kijae always has the secretaries call me whenever he pretends to feel sick to cut school early. Do I let him? Yes. Why? Because I know his timetable, and he usually just cuts off the useless classes like SPHE or religion classes. We aren't a religious family anyway.

"Yes, is he ok? Feeling sick again?", I reply with a hint of worry in my voice. Could he have also eaten a lot of sugar on Friday? Or could it be from his cooking last night?

"We're requesting for your presence at the school as your younger brother has gotten into a fight in the school. He's currently being treated by our nurse as we speak."

"Oh shit!", I call out as I jump up from my seat and begin packing my bag with my notebooks, then zipping it up, "I'm on my way right now."
I then end the call and open the bus app.

"Min, what's wrong?", Jiseok asks as he looks up to me with a slight frown.
"Kijae's gotten into a fight at school.", I sigh. I then tap on a bus schedule and let out a sigh of frustration, "Next bus is in twenty five minutes. I'm just going to have to take a run for it."

"I'll drive you there instead.", Seungmin says as he also packs his bags, grabbing his car keys from his pants. "Come on."
I nod my head as I turn to the others and wave them goodbye as both Seungmin and I run out of the campus, him leading me to his car.

He then unlocks a black car, going over to the driver's seat while I go to the passenger side. We both head inside, buckling in our belts.
Seungmin then starts the car and drives off as I tell him where to go.
