"Sungwoo, hurry up." I say, he didn't have much time left
"I'm trying but I can't write any faster, and if I get you to help the teacher will be suspicious." He pauses to stretch out his hand,
"Cramps?" He nods and then continues writing "I'm just saying you have five minutes and then we have to leave or else we'll be late."
"You'll be late, I won't." I roll my eyes, I know your a fast runner Sungwoo, but this isn't going to help us.
"Three minutes."
"Isn't the professor usually late?" He says, hoping to buy himself time
"No, Sungwoo." He starts an attempt at writing faster. "Sungwoo, we have to go now."
"Wait, one more sentence." I pick up all of my stuff and pack it into my bag, I do the same with his stuff and hold it out for him to take "Thank you, now let's go." We half-walked, half-ran to class to make it on time; sliding into our seats just in time.
"So, class, how many of you did your assignment." Almost everyone raises a hand in the air, "Hmm, maybe it should be better to ask who didn't?" Hands fell and sheepish ones were raised in their place "Well, would you look at that. Maybe you should all learn about time management. Stay after this class for 15 minutes whilst I go through my specially made presentation just in the topic, okay?"
"Keep in mind that you just barely made it out of that." I whisper to him
"And to those that were late, yes, I saw you slide into class. You can also stay, whilst I go through a presentation on what it means to be timely." Dissatisfied grumbles fill the room
"And we both just made it out of that." Sungwoo grins at me
"I wonder why." I grin back, we both try our best to hold in our laughter or else we'd be staying back too. To learn about respect.

"Okay, class. That's all student that have to stay behind please do so." Sungwoo and I both stand up to leave, if the teacher had found a reason for us to stay; he'd tell us now. Escaping the classroom without being stopped we both stand outside attempting to remember what was next
"What do we have next?" I inquire and Sungwoo shrugs
"You're usually the one who knows." I sigh
"Helpful." I ponder it a bit more "Do we actually have any other classes today?" Sungwoo shrugs again
"If we do I guess we'll know when we get a message asking why we didn't show up."
"Still not exactly helpful." I mumble "See, I don't think we do but it's Friday right? So we should have something."
"It's Tuesday, Yewon." Sungwoo says, placing his phone in front of my face showing me that it is indeed - Tuesday.
"Well then, we don't have any other classes today. I knew something felt off, I can't believe I've spent the entire day thinking that it's Friday. I'm an idiot."
"You can't be more of an idiot that me, Yewon." Sungwoo grins, I smile back at him. That's true. "Are you working later?" I shake my head
"No, why?"
"I was thinking about going to the shops and getting a whole bunch of food and eating it. Since you aren't working today I'm guessing you can join me." My eye light up at the mention of food
"Of course I can join you! Anything for food."

"And uh, two hamburgers thanks." Sungwoo says, he proudly hands over the money for our very large order. The cashier probably assumes there's more of us, well isn't she wrong. We were already holding two large takeaway bags and this was the third and final one. Receiving our food we both walk away from the store
"Well, only two out of three of those stores thought we were dating that's different. Usually all three of them have a cashier that thinks we're dating."
"It's an improvement," Sungwoo says "that place has upgraded themselves and found an employee that doesn't state assumptions outloud." I snort
"Sungwoo that's a bit mean."
"What? It's not like they can hear me right now." He gives me a pointed look and I roll my eyes. "Where are we going to eat?" He says, looking around the rather packed food court, there isn't much of a chance of us getting a seat any time soon "Hmm, maybe we should just go back to my house and eat there. It might be better."
"Yeah, probably."

"Now we can eat!" Sungwoo says once he closes the door to his house
"I don't know, maybe you should clean a but first." I say looking at the mess in the floor; food packaging, clothes, rubbish, tissues, popcorn - it's messy to put it simply. Sungwoo blinks at all of the mess before kicking some stuff out of the way
"It's clean now." He grins
"Ong, really? No, just, no." He sighs and picks up more stuff piling it up
"Can't this just be good enough, the food will go cold otherwise." I sit down in one of the spaces he made
"Fine, but you definitely have to clean this up later." Sungwoo nods and sits down too, I begin to devour food in the first bag. Sungwoo hadn't started eating yet "What are you doing? I'll eat all food if you aren't going to."
"I'm getting there I'm just replying to Dayoung. She sent me a message it would be rude to not reply." Of course, priorities. Placing his phone down he pulls out a plastic container and opens it, picking up a pair of chopsticks and preparing his first mouthful only to demolish it because Dayoung had replied to him. "I was looking forward to that too." He mumbles
"Can't you just not reply, or say your eating?"
"Yeah, but she complains when I say that." I roll my eyes
"And?"
"I just told her I'm eating and that I'll talk to her later. She isn't buying it, I even said I'm with you. She still isn't buying it." What is this woman? Does she not trust him? "Oh, wait she wants a picture. Give me a second wait...." he holds up the camera "Pose, Yewon. Make it clear that I'm with you."
"What does she think your with some other girl cheating in her or something." Sungwoo sighs
"Probably." He takes a picture if both of us and hisses when he sees it "You look terrible." He shows me the image, he's right I don't look the best but neither did he
"Shut up, so do you." He gives me an offended look
"Excuse me, but I have high quality looks." I smirk trying to hold in laughter
"So do I, thank you very much." Sungwoo raises his eyebrows
"Then explain why you've been single your whole life?"
"Because I have high standards and nobody meets those standards." I huff
"Not even me?"
"You have a girlfriend, Ong." He nods
"I'm aware of that, I'm just checking in case Dayoung ever breaks up with me."
"I mean that won't happen but, you're acceptable. I guess."
