8:10 am

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Felix shouted, sprawled out on the floor beside his bed, clutching his lower back.

Jisung, perched on the edge of the bed while tying his shoes, gave him an annoyed look. "You maniac, I tried waking you up a million times! You just lay there like a corpse. I thought you were dead or something."

"So that gives you the right to throw me off the bed!? Why are you so grumpy this early?" Felix groaned, pushing himself up.

Jisung raised an eyebrow. "Have you even looked at the time?"

Felix glanced at the clock, his eyes widening. He snapped his head back toward Jisung, his face struck with sudden realization, and before anything else, a loud scream echoed through the apartment, followed by an eerie silence.

8:30 AM

"Why does everything in my life fall apart just when I need things to go smoothly?" Felix complained, practically jogging up the stairs.

"Don't even start blaming 'life'—this one's all on you," Jisung shot back, hurrying after him. "I told you to go to bed, but no, you had to stay up half the night gaming. If you were just a bit more responsible, we wouldn't be running late for college."

"Whatever. At least we made it on time," Felix said as they reached the locker area. He opened his locker, grabbing the books he needed.

The hall buzzed with activity. As usual, students milled around, some skipping class entirely, while others just had nowhere better to be. The locker area, a prime hangout spot, was filled with chatter, especially since teachers rarely ventured there.

"You do realize we already missed our first class, right?" Jisung said, slamming his locker shut, irritated.

They started making their way to class, with Felix nodding and greeting people in passing.

"Yeah, but we haven't missed the math exam yet, have we? We've still got a half hour," Felix replied, always eager to find the bright side.

"Felix, you have to pass this exam. No excuses this time. Am I clear?" Jisung said as they stepped into the classroom.

"Yes, sir. Loud and clear. You're a real mother hen, you know that?" Felix quipped, fully expecting a swat for the comment, but instead, Jisung fell silent. Curious, Felix tilted his head and noticed Jisung staring intently toward the back of the classroom.
