"Thank you all for coming, I am feeling a lot better now." Dayoung smiles brightly at the three of us. Hyunjoo holds out a large container "What's this?"
"You'll see when you open it," Hyunjoo raises her eyebrows and grins at Dayoung, who laughs and opens the container before proceeding to clap with delight.
"My favourite snacks! Thank you!" She reaches out for a hug "Don't reject me please, I'm not that sick anymore." Hyunjoo rolls her eyes and give her a hug
"Okay, but if I get sick I'm blaming you,"
"That's fair enough." Dayoung chirps before going into a coughing fit. "You guys might want to stand near the edge of the room, just in case." I look down near me and notice a box of tissues, I decided against questioning why they weren't right next to her.
"Would you like a tissue?" I ask, Dayoung notices the tissue box as well and nods
"That would be great, thanks, I wonder why it's over there? What did I do in my sleep?" All four of us laugh and I pass her the box
"Well, you did mention that you move a lot in your sleep." Sungwoo points out "That's probably why." Dayoung nods, agreeing with what he's saying "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"
"Yes, please." Dayoung smiles gratefully at Sungwoo for asking, He turns around the go and get the water "Thank you, darling." She calls after him, I could feel Hyunjoo next to me trying not to gag. Affectionate terms aren't really her thing. "Did I miss out on much in the classes this week?"
"Not really, there's a few assignments that were due so you're going to want to make sure they're done before you come back." I inform her
"Oh, true, those professors aren't keen on late work and being sick isn't a good enough reason to not do something." Hyunjoo and I nod in agreement to her statement
"You know, we'll all be finishing university soon." Hyunjoo says, out of the blue
"You have a good point, only a few more months." I add
"I hope I'll be able to stand next to you two on the day we graduate." Dayoung smiles warmly at us
"What about me?" Sungwoo asks from behind me, causing me to jump, Dayoung laughs and takes the glass of water
"Of course, sweetie I'll be standing next to you too. Thank you."

"We might need to bring that study group back." Sungwoo says, suddenly "Those guys are great, and I'm sure we could all use some help."
"That's a good idea, Yewon do you think you could ask them what the others all think about that?" Hyunjoo says turning to me, I raise my eyebrows at her "You're the only person I know who has everyone's phone number. I feel awkward sending mass messages on Facebook." I roll my eyes and look in Sungwoo's direction
"Hey, she just told you to do it. Don't pass it onto me, you're just as good friends with the others as I am. You know most of them better than me, too." He shakes his head violently, I pull out my phone and scroll through my contacts
"Okay fine, so I'm just inviting the old group from last year? You three, Daniel, Youngmin - if he bothers to show up, those frat boys that Dayoung is still kinda scared of," I eye Hyunjoo sharply and Dayoung nods
"Those guys are nice, okay? Besides I don't know who she's supposed to be scared of."
"Dongho." Sungwoo mumbles
"For crying out loud he's not scary, he's a nice boy. Anyways, who else?" Hyunjoo sighs loudly and gestures for me to continue
"Well okay then; those four are invited, should we invite those freshman? They know Youngmin and it might encourage him to come." The other three all shrug, unable to answer me "Helpful. I'll invite them, okay? Um, anyone else... oh, I should probably invite Jaehwan or else he'll hold a grudge on me until the day I die and I don't like the sound of that. Do those people sound good?"
"That's fine, are there any other girls going? Also, how do you know the freshman's numbers?" Dayoung inquires before coughing again. I wait for her to finish before replying
"I did a project with a few of them earlier this year, and some of the freshman are girls so you don't have to worry about that." I send them all a message informing them about it and asking if they'd be interested
"Did you ask?" Hyunjoo peers over towards my phone but I pull it up out of her view, the only benefit of me being tall "What did they say?"
"I asked, yes. You're in the group too, but I can say that only Daniel's replied." Sungwoo's face lights up
"What did he say?" I raise my eyebrows "I know I could just check now, Yewon, but my phones almost dead so I turned it off."
"That's because you spent the entire journey here talking to Dayoung." I chide "And, unsurprisingly, he said he'll come." Sungwoo jumps in happiness. "He also asks when the first meet up will be, would 7pm next Tuesday be good?"
"It's convenient for us, I'm sure the others will be able to make it." Dayoung says
"You need to get better first before you come." Sungwoo grins, Hyunjoo just be very grateful that they're holding back on the affection today.
"That's true, but I'm sure I'll be fine by Tuesday." I hold up my hand to gain everyone's attention
"Ong, Choi, Son; we have an update."
"Yes, Jang, what is it?" Hyunjoo and the other two look expectantly at me
"Get ready to learn about fine literature and be criticised about your Korean skills because the frat boys are coming." Dayoung's face drops and Hyunjoo pouts at her
"Look at the positives, you don't actually have to talk to Dongho if you don't want to and if you need your essays checked over they'll be able to help. Besides, you're doing a law major too - not just business, business is only your minor; you should be able to confidently talk to them and argue with them if it really comes to that."
"You're right, Hyunjoo, I shouldn't be so disappointed. I'll come with a positive outlook of things and hope that Dongho's forgotten about the time I accidentally snapped at him." A knock door the door interrupts us all and Dayoung's mother pokes her head into the room
"Whilst I appreciate you all coming over; Yewon, you're mother's here to take you now." I heart drops as I remember that I'm going out for dinner with some of my mum's work colleagues. I sigh and nod,
"Where are you going?" Dayoung questions
"Dinner," I pout; sticking my lip out as far as possible "Anyways, goodbye guys, I'll see you on Monday!"
