Yesterday's opening party lasted quite a long time and in the morning Maena felt really tired even though she slept well. But now she has already woken up to the day. The professor of the lecture just announced that they will start doing group projects. Maena likes them, no need to study alone or do it alone, surely.
"I will put you in mixed groups so that no one is left alone.", the professor said and began to divide the students into pairs or groups. Maena hoped that she would get with Bora, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if she didn't.
"And from there. Ms. Hwang and Mr. Byun.", he arranged and pointing at her and Jihoon some seats further from her. "Next to there, Ms. Han and Ms. Jang.", he kept arranging.
"Okay. I'll switch next to her, Maemae. Good luck.", Bora said before grapping her stuff and moving a row above her next to another student.
"Well then. Paired together? Yess.", Jihoon suddenly appeared next to her. Maena chuckled. Jihoon is someone she knows well, like a backup friend when Bora is absent. But surely they hang out other times too.
The lecture went by fast while preparing the project. "Okay, the lesson is about to end. I urge you to do the project in your free time as well, since we don't have infinite time doing this.", the professor lastly said before people started leaving the lecture hall.
"Damn, nothing really got done. He just gave us this difficult topic.", Maena complained.
"Shall we do it tomorrow after school? We can think about where to go.", Jihoon suggested.
"Okay, yeah, let's do that."
"I'm hungry. Can we go to eat?", Bora asked as she came to them. Maena packed her stuff from the table. "Yeah, Bobo. We can go eat."
"Jihoon. Join us too if you want to!", Bora suggested.
"Um, I think I should, yeah.", Jihoon agreed and left with the girls to the cafeteria.

After the day at university, she took a bus back to Sunghoon's place again. She usually never preferred bus, but now she has to go with it. Sunghoon's car wasn't parked in the yard, so he haven't returned from work yet. Maena remembered from before that he told that he keeps a spare key in a plant pot near the front door, so she searched that and quickly found it.
The first thing that came to her mind was eating. There wasn't any very good food on campus today, so she was a little hungrier than usual. She looked into the fridge for a while, thinking what to eat. Sunghoon crossed in her mind too.
"What kind of food would he like?", she spoke to herself wonderingly. "Well, I guess everyone likes all common food. Should I make noodles then? Yeah, I'll do those.", she decided and took ingredients to make something from the noodles, like Jjigae maybe.

Maena had been watching the television for few hours now. Sunghoon hasn't got home yet. He usually comes around 5PM, but now it's already almost 8PM. She doesn't know his schedule though, he might have longer days too.
Soon, however, the door opened and Maena already knew it was Sunghoon. "Where were you for so long? At work?", she asked while he was taking his shoes off in the vestibule.
"No. I went to the gym.", he replied and stepped further to the room. He wasn't dressed in his suit anymore, he had a black t-shirt and sweatpants. So he really went to the gym. She isn't sure if it was good or worrisome. Gym is something that might relieve stress and all, but someone who might forget to eat and sleep, she wouldn't be so sure about that.
"I see. Well, eat the food I made. Jjigae, I guess you'd eat it. It just needs to be reheated.", she spoke.
"Okay.", he replied.
