It was nice to have the whole group back together. It was almost as it was before the greater half left for the trip, except for the fact that Minho and Taehyun ignored each other like foreigners who could not even speak the same language. That worried Jinwoo and Seunghoon and, at the beginning, Seungyoon. It now seemed like Taehyun was more close to Seungyoon than he was to Minho, and that was what Seungyoon wanted from the beginning. So what if Taehyun and Minho had a falling out? Seungyoon selfishly thought that it was working to his favor, so he should not bother with it.

Finals week was excruciating. Seungyoon’s new bed was his study desk. The group rarely met. Each of them had their own tests to worry about, and Minho even joked in the group chat about how his favorite breakfast became coffee bean cereal with plain black coffee as milk. Seunghoon had second that, and Seungyoon would have third it but he still had hard feelings for Minho. They were not as strong as before as Taehyun and Minho seemed to have stopped hanging out with each other completely. Taehyun even told him how Minho had moved all his art stuff to the student art studio. Whatever happened between them was serious. Taehyun came over more often. Seungyoon was still his number one stress relieving tool, and Seungyoon could sense his levels of stress were higher than Mount Everest. Even Seungyoon was not that stressed, so he thought that it could not only be the tests. But if helped relieve some of it though, Seungyoon was not going to ask questions.

Finals week came and went and the whole group was sure they passed more that half of their tests with the bare minimum. For Jinwoo, that was a cause for celebration. Since the last times that they celebrated in a big way, something bad happened. Seungyoon suggested that they should all just go to a bar and hang out there. They all agreed to it, but Jinwoo, who was the lover of partying big, complained the whole way to the bar. One of the many conversations made in that bar was what they were planning on doing for the break they had. Jinwoo said that his parents plan to go to the house they had a town over (where the fateful before college party happened) and Jinwoo was going to spend time with them there. Seunghoon was planning on going back to his hometown, which he shared with Seungyoon, who was also going back, and Taehyun was planning on going back home, too. Minho said he was going to stay during the break. He had some pieces he wanted to spend time creating and that he would use the break to finish them. They all made fun of Minho for deciding to stay. Most students were ready to leave, so it was humorous to watch one who actually wanted to stay.

Seunghoon and Seungyoon left together back to their hometown. They sat next to each other on the train and bus trips. They shared earphones and even slept on each other’s shoulders when they were tired. They were a short drive distance from each other back home, so they often visited each other. Seunghoon had great video games and often challenged Seungyoon to play them. During quite a tough game of Mortal Kombat, when Jinwoo was visiting (as he often liked to do because he was bored most of the time at home), a conversation was made that had made Seungyoon lose a game round he had betted he
