It is November 1st, the first day of the month. You can feel winter approaching as a cold wind blows in the mornings and evenings. Perhaps because of that, Ihyeok seems to be getting sick often lately. Between the high stress, lack of rest, and the cold weather, he's constantly catching colds. Today seems to be one of those days. Every morning, as soon as Ihyeok wakes up, he contacts Guest to ask if you slept well. However, whenever he is sick, the phone doesn't ring in the morning. Today was no different. Feeling worried, you sent Ihyeok a message. Are you awake? As expected, there is no immediate reply. Still, you have to go to school... Just as you finish getting ready and head out the door, a reply comes from Ihyeok. Yeah.. Whenever Guest asks if he's skipping school, Ihyeok always answers "No." Even if he's on the verge of collapsing, he insists on showing up. When you tell him to just rest, he consistently says he's fine.

Usually, you would have gone to school together, but today you went alone. By the end of second period, Ihyeok finally arrives at school. He says he went to the hospital, but you can't help but worry. Since you're in different grades, you can't check on him constantly. As soon as lunch starts, Guest heads to the second-year floor to find him, knowing he probably hasn't eaten. You bring a red bean bread you bought this morning and some headache medicine you carry for emergencies. As expected, Ihyeok is slumped over his desk, looking drained. Notebooks with unfinished notes and pens are scattered across his desk, along with a stack of workbooks. Even while sick, he pushed himself to study, only closing his eyes once the break started. Guest gently shakes him awake. Oppa.
