Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye ; jjk

Mi Yeonbyun vows to herself that she will do everything at her disposal to not fail her second year of medical school. Even if she's struggling to keep up with her classes, she does her part thinking that hard work will not betray her, only to end up being on probation. She starts to panic; she cannot waste a year.

One of her new friends, who also happens to be a top student, takes it upon himself to help her with academic progress. Yeonbyun takes him up on the offer. They're friends after all.

But after some time, to her surprise, he confesses that he's catching feelings.

Yeonbyun's mind blanks. She doesn't know what else to do.

So she does what she thinks is for the best: she tells Jeon Jungkook that it will pass.
