The final days of the school year dragged on endlessly, as if time itself was mocking the students who eagerly awaited the start of summer break. Seonghwa sat in his last class, staring at the clock as it ticked slower and slower. His friends, Wooyoung, Yeosang, and Yunho, shared his impatience.
"Come on, come on," Wooyoung muttered, tapping his fingers on his desk. "This is torture."
"Just a few more hours," Yunho sighed. "I swear, these last minutes are the longest of my life."
Yeosang glanced over at Seonghwa. "Any plans for the summer, Seonghwa?"
Seonghwa shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "My parents have something planned, but they won't tell me what."
"Ooh, a mystery," Wooyoung teased. "Maybe they're taking you to a theme park."
"Or a deserted island," Yunho added with a grin.

In another part of the school, Hongjoong and his friends, Mingi, San, and Jongho, were equally restless. San was already making a list of places to visit, while Mingi daydreamed about lazy days and warm nights.
"Guys, this is going to be the best summer ever," San declared confidently. "We've got the whole break to ourselves."
"First stop: Busan," Hongjoong said with a grin. "I've got my camera ready for some epic photos."
Jongho stretched and yawned. "I'm just looking forward to sleeping in."
The bell finally rang, signaling the end of the school year. The hallways erupted with cheers and laughter as students streamed out of their classrooms. Seonghwa and his friends high-fived each other, already making plans to hang out.
"Don't forget, we have to make time to meet up," Yunho reminded them. "But first, family vacation."
Seonghwa's parents had planned a surprise trip to Busan, and while he was initially skeptical, the idea of a getaway started to grow on him. His friends promised to keep in touch and meet up once he returned.
"Text us every day," Wooyoung insisted. "We want all the details."
"Yeah, don't leave us hanging," Yeosang added.
"Sure thing," Seonghwa laughed. "You guys better not have too much fun without me."
