Ever since Dr. Song elevated the medication in Hana's inhaler, her asthma attacks got less extreme. Sometimes she was out of breath, but not to an extent where she would pass out. Hana also started smiling more regular and became her old self, much to everyone's liking.

When Hana's parents and her little sister went back to Cork, they offered her to come with them once again, but the Highschool student declined their offer once again and told them that she is happy where she is right now. And she would look out for herself. She had promised it to her mother, that she would look out for herself even better, so Mrs. Coghlan wouldn't be worried anymore.

Time also went by quickly and all the students studying paid off during the exam time. Hana felt good writing all these exams. She studied a lot after all. And she needed good grades in order to get accepted by the Universities in Canada. She wanted to go to Canada to badly. Just to be close to Mark, who only had applied to Canadian Universities.

On the day Hana wrote her last exam in Maths, the class decided to dress up and go to a fancy Noraebang in Hongdae.

„Let's all meet around six o'clock this afternoon." Seo Mina announced and everyone agreed to her idea. Hana and Soonbok were excited to go out, now that all the stress with the exams were over. They were soon college kids.

Hana still couldn't believe that her senior year was slowly coming to an end and she still hasn't confessed to Mark!

Soonbok came to Hana's flat to get ready for the outing with their class this night, and the girls helped each other to get ready. While Hana was combing her hair, Soonbok looks at her best friend through the mirror. „We're really growing up, huh?" She asked and Hana nodded while putting a thin yellow headband on her brown straight hair. „We are." She sighed and looked at her palms. „We are growing up and our childish dreams are crashing in front of us, while we try to hold on to the last pieces of our childhood that we still have," Hana mumbled and chuckled when she saw Soonbok's confused face. „Sorry." Hana laughed and shook her head. „It's just weird being an almost-grown-up." She sighed. „We're applying for college while still looking like kids and having stupid little crushes and", Hana got interrupted by Soonbok.

„You still haven't confessed to Mark?" She hissed and Hana sighed and shook her head while pouting. „I know, I know. I should've done it way sooner but I couldn't. I get too nervous." She remembered the day Mark invited her to Jjangmyeon. She had an opportunity to confess, but she didn't do it.

Soonbok sighed. „Hana, you should just do it. It's not that hard, really. The only thing that can happen is that Mark dumps you. But I bet he wouldn't even do that rude or anything." Soonbok looked at Hana and then realized how she must've sound. „Oops," Soonbok said and scratched her head. Hana sighed and continued getting ready.

She had picked a knee long yellow dress with a light pink ribbon around the waist that gave her a girlish-cute vibe and matched her headband a lot.

„You look cute!" Soonbok smiled and fixed her black skirt once more before the two girls got ready to take the subway to Hongdae. The drive went by quiet with the two girls sitting next to each other, everyone minding their own business, with Soonbok asking if Hana had her inhaler three times. Hana said yes and continued to think about seeing Mark.

She already missed him, knowing that he probably leave for Canada sooner than expected. How much time did Hana have until she would have to say goodbye to the good looking boy with the warm brown eyes that send Hana's heart into a frenzy whenever he would look at her?

Hana sighed. She didn't want to be alone. She didn't want to be without Mark. She knew that she would still have contact with Soonbok and Yoogeun, even if she had to go to Ireland for University. But how would she do that with Mark?

Hana sighed when they left the metro station and walked to the place Mina had told them to meet up. From afar Hana could already see the tall guy that was Park Chankyun and his sister Chanmi, who looked good in her denim shorts and the tight crop top. Mina wore a flowy flower dress and dark sneakers and she had her hair in two fishtail braids. „Hi!" Soonbok greeted their classmates who waved at them and commented their choice of clothes.

Hana looked around until she found Mark, who was giving out boyfriend vibes with his black jeans, the loose white button down and the denim jacket that was thrown over. His hair was a little messy and he seriously looked cute. Hana pouted seeing him.

And Mark saw her as well and gave her a cute little wave before looking down at his sneakers. He didn't expect Hana to look that cute and he definitely wanted to compliment her like Kim Beomhyung did. He opened his mouth to say something when Yoogeun came back from a convenience store and threw his arm around Mark. „Are the girls here yet?" Yoogeun asked when he saw his girlfriend (and Hana) a few feet away from him.

„Is everyone here?" Mina suddenly asked before Yoogeun and Mark could approach the girls. „Then let's go!" Mina and the other classmates cheered and rented a room and bought drinks, singing the whole night.

Mina was currently singing a song with Yoogeun when he asked her to turn the volume down. The classmates did what the oldest boy had asked to and all eyes were on Yoogeun.

„Everyone knows I am not the smartest kid in our class and that I had to repeat senior year." Yoogeun started and everyone nodded. Hana nibbled on her coke, listening to what her friend had to say. Soonbok next to her was blushing at her boyfriend's well-chosen words. „But this time I made it. I came back so much stronger and managed to get accepted by Seoul University!" Yoogeun yelled and pulled a letter out of his pocket. Everyone cheered when seeing the letter and congratulated Yoogeun. Soonbok shattered a few tears out of happiness that her boyfriend had made it, when he suddenly went down on one knee, making the whole class gasp in awe.

Hana clenched her dress seeing Yoogeun act this way.

Yoogeun looked at Soonbok with big eyes. „I wouldn't have made it this far if I wouldn't have you by my side Kim Soonbok," Yoogeun said and pulled a small box out of his coat pocket. Hana opened her mouth and Seo Mina gasped when Yoogeun continued talking.

„I know we're still way too young to think about marriage and stuff. But I want to promise you, that I will marry you once we're real grown ups. So please stay with me until I am ready to really propose to you." Yoogeun opened the box to a thin and petite silver ring, that he cutely put on the crying Soonbok's finger. „Please promise to stay with me," Yoogeun whispered when Soonbok threw herself into her boyfriend's arms and pecked his lips right there in front of their classmates.

While Soonbok and Yoogeun kissed each other, Hana caught herself staring at Mark. Or rather his lips.
