The last 5 months wasn't all that rainbows and butterflies for everyone. Everyone had different difficulties, choices and mistakes but, they got through it all. Together.

When Daniel first heard of Jihyo's news that day in the café, he was utterly shocked and speechless. If Jihyo was to be honest, she was disappointed on how he didn't respond for minutes. But she gets him, it was very heavy news that struck him— them.

Jihyo, she had to tell her parents sooner or later. But, it was exactly what she was paranoid about. She was kicked out, all her belongings were taken, unaccepted, disappointment and felt like she was shut down from her own family.

She cried for several nights, regretted every mistake and shut everyone out. But she wasn't being comforted. Instead, what she felt was suffocation, inability to breathe well and felt like everything was unstable.

So, She went out of that suffocating room and went to the people where they gave her comfort, acceptance and love.

Daniel, he's working multiple shifts for them. The thought of having his own family made him work harder and is willing to do everything for them.

He tried his best to stay positive and share those positive thoughts with Jihyo. Cause he promised himself that they'd get through this, together.

Nayeon, she has also been through alot. Her parents, they forced her to end the friendship with Jihyo because she's a 'bad example' for her. But for her, she's not.

As a friend of several years, she left home. She knew that Jihyo needed her, she needed a person to rely on— a shoulder to cry on.

Seulgi, she helped alot with making every one feel better. She was the one who brought back the happiness and positivity in this house.

They all live in the Kang's house now. Since Nayeon and Jihyo has no other place to stay. It felt like home for them.

They still go to school— well, except for Jihyo.

Jihyo stayed at school until she was 3 months pregnant. Daniel thought that it might be too risky and tiring for her.

They take turns on being absent to take care of Jihyo. They talked to the principal directly for this and thankfully, the principal was kind enough to understand their situation.

They basically homeschool Jihyo. They teach her the things they've learned and also does homework witht heir help. It may be a hard setting but Jihyo wanted to continue learning.

Jihyo felt bad since her friends are doing alot of stuff for her and she feels like she hasn't been able to return these good gestures enough.

So the 3 had to remind Jihyo that they're doing this as a friend who supports and has her back, not to expect things to be returned.

Going back to today's event, there is only a month left before the end of 3rd year of college. They're excited since they'll finally get 3 months of not using their brains much. They already planned so much things for this summer so the 4 of them were already anticipating.

Final exams are happening in a week and all of them are studying hard. This was the only not so fun part when school is almost ending but it's only a small time for them to suffer.

Since final exams are very serious, Jihyo will have to go to the school to take the exams. It wasn't a very hard decision to make because not only its a must but Jihyo also missed going to school.

"What do we have to review again?" Seulgi asked, ruffling her already messy hair

"Everything" Daniel replied as she groaned

"My brain cant take it any more!" Nayeon exclaimed

"You think you're the only one?" Jihyo said

"Jihyo, you shouldn't get stressed out that much the bab-"

"How?!" They laughed

"Exams only last for 2 days, but here we are, already studying for a week and can't even get a day worth of information!"

"Ugh. I can't im done. It doesn't matter if I fail now, I've had enough" Nayeon lets go of the book and pen that was on her hands and layed down on the floor

"Yeah right. Let's just relax. There's still a week before exams" Daniel daid as they closed their books and sat down at the sofa, spacing out

"Should we just not go to school next year? Like, let's not suffer for another school year" Nayeon bluntly suggested

"Yah, I wanna finish school" Jihyo said

"How about let's just start our business?" Seulgi followed

"Seulgi-yah, why do you always have to side with Nayeon's not so clever suggestions?" Daniel asked his twin as Seulgi giggled

"Why? I mean, it's a good idea" Nayeon said as the couple facepalmed

"Come on, there's only a year left. We can endure that much" Jihyo said

"Ugh, I don't know if my brain could last another year"

"Same here"

"Let's get through this year first together, then we can start our own business" Daniel said, earning nods from the 3

"That's a much better idea. Thanks, Daniel"
