* 2 months later*

Standing in the same position, standing behind clarinet Jumin, we were preparing for the matriculation ceremony tomorrow.

Seokkyung, who still had the solo, had coughed, her sickness showing.

"Seokkyung, your cold is getting worse, the performance is tomorrow, how about you go to the hospital?" Seokkyung holds her throat, staying silent. Eunbyeol's mom sighs, and turns to the class.

"Seokkyung will have to step down." Seokhoon says, which is surprising. Knowing Seokkyung, she would never want to step down.

"Because Seokkyung isn't feeling her best, we need to have someone else sing the part... who's up for the challenge?" Yeah i'm not doing that.

Knowing Cheon Seojin, this was one of her elaborate plans to make her daughter look better, but not everyone knows that.

Seokkyung walks back to her spot, next to me, and stands there, looking upset.

To the right of me, I see Eunbyeols hand shoot up, but to the left, Bae Rona lifts her hand too, spicy.

"Ah. Ha Eunbyeol, Bae Rona. The two of you want to audition?" The two girls nod, the tension in the air rising.

Eunbyeol's mom clears her throat, and stands up straight.

"Alright. I will listen and choose who will sing. Eunbyeol, you can go first." I see her nod, and she walks up to the podium.

The class stands, listening to her sing. I get tired and sit on the floor, having standing there for almost the whole hour.

Seokkyung watched me sit down, and slowly sat down with me. "I hate her." I look over at her, raising my eyebrow.

"Who?" Seokkyung glares at the teacher, and I get the memo.

"Ah, she forced you into this didn't she?" Seokkyung nods, crossing her arms.

"I can't believe I've been forced into something because of her." I glare at our teacher, and Eunbyeol finishes singing.

I stand back up, raising my hand, "Saem. I have to use the restroom, can I go?" She looks at me, and nods. I grab my phone off the stand, and walk out of the room.

I walk around the school, avoiding the class I was just in, the bell rings, and I continue to walk around, walking to our little room.

I open the door, Seokkyung already there. "Yah, Joo Seokkyung." She looks up, pouting. "Are you going to let them step all over you?" She sighs, putting her head back down.

"Yes." I sigh walking over to her, and sitting next to her.

"Did you get hurt again?" She nods, turning her head towards me.

"I got beat and then I had to drop out of my solo? I hate this life." Seokkyung sighs, and I lean over hugging her.

"We were just born into the wrong life, you want to skip for the rest of the day? Say you went to the hospital?" She looks up, her eyes brightening. She smiles, standing up.
