Riwoo's POV:

---

The teacher walked into class, a stern expression on her face. "Finally, it's Friday," I thought, relieved.

But my relief was short-lived, as she launched into a ten-minute rant about how unserious our generation was. "You all seem to think you can just coast through life without putting in any effort!" she exclaimed.

I cursed at her in my head, like a normal person would. "How dare she? This test was unexpected! We didn't even get a chance to study!"

Taesan, sitting next to me, noticed my tense expression and gently patted my back. "Hey, calm down, Riwoo," he whispered.

Finally, the teacher handed out our graded papers. I scanned mine quickly, seeing that I got an 84. Not bad, but not great either.

Sungho got a 90, Jaehyun also got an 84, Taesan got an impressive 98, Leehan got an 83, and Woonhak got an 80.

The teacher subtly congratulated us, saying, "Well, at least some of you took this test seriously. Congratulations, Sungho, Taesan, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Leehan, and Woonhak. You all scored atleast 80."

I felt a sense of pride, knowing that I was one of the few who did well on the test. But I still couldn't shake off my anger at the teacher's unfair rant.

As the teacher droned on, I found my mind wandering back to the events of the past few days. I thought about the haunted house, and how Jaehyun had grabbed my hand in the dark. I thought about the test, and how Jaehyun had gotten the same score as me. And I thought about Jaehyun himself, with his bright personality and fluffy hair.

I remembered the way he had looked at me during lunch, and the way my heart had skipped a beat. I wondered if he had felt the same spark that I had.

My mind started to wander to all the what-ifs. What if Jaehyun felt the same as me? What if we could be more than just friends? What if...

I snapped back to reality, realizing that the teacher was asking me a question. "Riwoo, can you solve this equation on the board?"

I hesitated, my mind still foggy from my daydream. But with Taesan's help, I managed to stumble through the solution.

As the lesson ended, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I couldn't wait to see Jaehyun again, to talk to him and laugh with him. And maybe, just maybe, to explore these feelings that I couldn't ignore.

Over lunch, we started making plans for the weekend. "We should have a sleepover at Riwoo's house!" Sungho exclaimed.

"Yeah, my parents are always cool about stuff like that and they're going on a trip this weekend," I agreed.

We quickly made plans, deciding who would bring what - snacks, drinks, movies. And then, the debate began.

"We have to watch a horror movie!" Leehan said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"No way, that's a terrible idea," Jaehyun said, shaking his head.

"Yeah, come on, it'll be fun!" Sungho argued.

Woonhak chimed in, "I don't want to watch a horror movie either. I'll have nightmares for weeks."

But the majority ruled, and we decided to watch a horror movie. Jaehyun and Woonhak whined, but eventually agreed to go along with it.

As we finished up our plans, I couldn't help but feel excited. A whole weekend with my friends, at my house, with no parents to worry about? It was going to be epic.
