Riwoo's POV:

As the teacher droned on, Jaehyun leaned over to me, his eyes scanning the worksheet. I nudged him playfully, taking the ballpoint pen from his hand. "Let me help you, Jaehyun."

He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Thanks, Riwoo. I don't know what I'd do without you."

I rolled my eyes good-naturedly, starting to work on the problems. Taesan, meanwhile, was already finishing up, his pencil flying across the paper with ease. He caught my eye, grinning smugly. "Easy peasy lemon squeezy." (#ihanreference)

Sungho sat across from us, both his brows furrowed in concentration. He was always serious about his studies, determined to get good grades.

Woonhak, on the other hand, was scribbling away, his face scrunched up in effort and concentration. He was trying his best, as always.

And then there was Leehan, who was...well, not even trying. He was doodling in his notebook, a look of utter disinterest on his face. I chuckled to myself. Only Leehan could manage to look so unbothered in the middle of class.

Jaehyun nudged me, his voice low. "Hey, Riwoo? Can you help me with this one?"

I smiled, focusing on the problem at hand. "Of course, Jaehyun."


3rd person's POV:

The class was indeed eventful. Minji was surrounded by her self-proclaimed "fan club", a group of enthusiastic students who admired her intelligence and talent. She looked uncomfortable, trying to focus on her work while they chattered away, asking her questions and seeking her advice. Poor girl.

Meanwhile, the rest of the class was in disarray. Riwoo and Jaehyun were whispering to each other, trying to stifle their giggles. Woonhak was studiously poring over his notes, determined to understand the material. Sungho was intently reviewing formulas, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Taesan, on the other hand, was struggling to stay awake, his head nodding forward as he tried to fight off sleep. And Leehan... poor Leehan was getting scolded by the teacher for not doing his work. Again.

"Leehan, what are you doing? You're not even trying!" the teacher exclaimed, exasperated.

Leehan just shrugged, his expression unrepentant. "I'm trying, teacher. I'm just... creatively challenged."

The class erupted into laughter, and even the teacher couldn't help but crack a slight smile. "Well, try harder, Leehan. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to pass this class."

As the class drew to a close, the noise level only increased, with everyone chatting and laughing. It was just another typical day in this lively and unpredictable class...

Riwoo's POV:

Lunchtime! My favorite part of the day. We all gathered in the cafeteria, our usual crew, and started loading up our trays with food.

Jaehyun, as always, went straight for the pizza, while Taesan opted for the usual Korean dishes. Woonhak tried a bit of everything, his curiosity getting the better of him. Sungho stuck to his usual salads, looking like a rabbit munching on greens. And Leehan... well, Leehan just grabbed a bunch of random stuff, including a weird-looking sandwich that made me raise an eyebrow.

We found our usual table and dug in, the conversation flowing easily. Jaehyun started telling some ridiculous story about his morning, making us all laugh. Taesan chimed in with a witty comment, and Woonhak snorted in amusement. Sungho just rolled his eyes good-naturedly, while Leehan just made a weird noise and started flapping his arms like a chicken while trying to explain a story of how he was chased by a chicken dance.

I grinned, feeling happy to be surrounded by these guys. We always had so much fun together, even on the most mundane days.

As we ate, the jokes and teasing flew back and forth, our laughter echoing through the cafeteria. It was just another normal lunchtime with my friends...

I walked up to Taesan's house, feeling a bit nervous. I had never been to his place before, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Taesan opened the door, grinning. "Hey, Riwoo! Come on in!"

I stepped inside, taking in the cozy atmosphere. His parents greeted me warmly, offering me a snack and a drink. They seemed really cool, chatting with me like I was an old friend.

But then, two tiny tornados burst into the room. "Taesan, Taesan!" a little girl squealed, throwing herself at him. A little boy followed close behind, shouting "Dongmin hyung!"  and trying to climb Taesan's leg.

Taesan laughed, scooping up his little sister Jiyoon and ruffling his little brother Minsoo's hair. "Riwoo, this is my mini tornado, Minsoo, and the drama queen, Jiyoon."

I couldn't help but laugh at the two hyperactive kids. They were adorable, bouncing around the room and demanding attention from Taesan and me.

Jiyoon started chattering excitedly about her favorite cartoon, while Minsoo tried to show off his (pretty impressive) 'ninja' moves. Taesan and I exchanged a look, both of us amused by the whirlwind that was his siblings.

As we hung out, I realized that Taesan's family was really something special. They were all so loving and supportive, and they welcomed me with open arms. I felt grateful to be included in their little family gathering...

As the afternoon wore on, Jiyoon and Minsoo continued to entertain us with their antics. They were like two little balls of energy, bouncing from one activity to the next. Taesan and I watched in amazement as they played a heated game of tag, their laughter and shouts filling the room.

After a while, Taesan's mom called out that snacks were ready, and we all gathered in the kitchen. Jiyoon and Minsoo were thrilled to see the spread of treats, and they dug in with gusto. Taesan and I exchanged a look, both of us smiling at the sight of his little siblings enjoying themselves so much.

As we munched on snacks, Taesan's dad asked me about school and my interests. I was impressed by how genuinely interested he was in getting to know me. Taesan's family was really something special - they were all so warm and welcoming.

After snacks, Jiyoon and Minsoo started to wind down, and Taesan suggested we play a game together. We ended up playing a hilarious round of charades, with Jiyoon and Minsoo acting out their favorite cartoon characters. Taesan and I were in stitches, and even Taesan's parents were cracking up.

As the evening drew to a close, I thanked Taesan's family for having me over. They invited me to come back anytime, and I promised I would. As I left with Taesan, I felt grateful for the unexpected visit. I had learned so much more about my friend and his amazing family...
