"To whom it may concern," Jaehyun starts, tightly interlocking his hands. "Please let MM pass."

"Did you just...pray?"

"Yeah, I just did and you should be flattered. I'm a non-believer."

The proctor in front rearranges the examination papers, banging them on the table to flatten them. "The exams will start in five minutes."

I can do this, I can do this. I repeatedly chant in my head. I've worked so hard, and I've learned so much from both Jaehyun and Joochan. I think my hardwork paid off. Please let me pass.

I look to my left, and Jaehyun gives me a grin. I shoot one back, although quivering. But Jaehyun really wasn't the one I am looking for—it's Joochan. I stare at his face (strangely it made me relax a bit) and smile to myself. I know he wasn't looking at me, but I'm sure he wants me to pass, too.

The proctor finally started distributing the bond papers. My heart is beating so hard that I'm afraid it would pop out any second. My thumb and index fingers holding the pen are shaking from nervousness.

I'm sure Bomin is feeling the same way, too, I think, which kind of reassured me. With that thought in mind, I finally receive the paper and start answering.

"Hell week is done!" I shout as soon as I got out of the suffocating room. Three consecutive days of examinations really drained my energy (and my brain cells).

"Do you remember the 34th question?" Jaehyun asks Joochan when he caught up with the two since he got out a little bit later. He really took his sweet time reviewing all of his answers. "What's your answer? Let's say it together. One, two, three..."

"A." / "C."

"Goddamnit!" Jaehyun screams in frustration. "I was debating between A and C, too. But I wasn't sure so I went with A." He turns to me and asks, "How about you, MM?"

"I answered C," I reply after trying to remember the question. "I kind of vaguely remember Joochan mentioning it one time."

Jaehyun blinks, apalled. "I actually thought you were going to say you didn't know the answer, or you just went with your intuition, or you guessed, or something along the likes of those."

Minhee smirks. "Are you scared that I might be correct? You scared that I'll be smarter than you?"

"Of course not!"

"Hyungs! Noona!" Bomin calls out from the end of the hall, bolting towards the three. "How were the exams?"

"We should be asking you that question," Joochan rolls his eyes. "How was it?"

"I think I did fine. I'm positive I'll pass them." Bomin lets out a cheeky grin. He runs up to the two boys and sling both of his arms on their shoulders, bringing them down. They both grunt over how rough Bomin was. "Let's go eat outside."

"Your treat?" Joochan queries.

"Naah, noona you treat us."

Jaehyun shoots their junior a glare. "Hey, how dare you ask MM—"

But I just shrug and smile. "Sure, I'll treat you all."

The three of them paused for a whole duration of three seconds. It was quite the sight. But were they really that shocked that I accepted that? It's just a simple treat, nothing less.
