★Kim Sunwoo★

Sunwoo was sulking in his pajamas eating sushi he picked up from the convenience store. He was lounging on the couch watching some anime he didn't even know the name of.

His parents were actually in town this week, second week in a row. Suspicious.

Anyway, he was just about to shovel another roll into his mouth when he heard the doorbell ring several times.

He groaned and set the sushi on the table. The doorbell rang again several times.

"I'm coming! Damn." Sunwoo grumbled.

He opened the door and frowned.

"What are you two doing here? Together." Sunwoo asked.

Eric and Juyeon walked past Sunwoo and into the living room.

"You know the polite thing to do would be to wait until the homeowner actually invites you into their home." Sunwoo said, closing the door behind them. "Wait, aren't you two supposed to be at school? Why are you here?"

"That's the second time you've asked us that." Juyeon pointed out.

"And it's the second time you haven't answered me." Sunwoo replied.

He trudged past them and collapsed back on the couch with his sushi.

"So here's the third. What are you two doing here?" He asked once more.

"We have a way to prove your innocence." Eric answered.

"Eric, I told you to leave it alone." Sunwoo said dryly.

"You're not even going to ask what we have?" Juyeon furrowed his eyebrows.

Sunwoo just stared up at them with a blank expression. He didn't answer.

"What is going on with you? Why are you just giving up? This isn't you, Sunwoo. Weren't you freaking out about this just a few days ago? What happened to that?" Eric ranted.

"I stopped caring, okay?" Sunwoo exclaimed. "Younghoon can do whatever the hell he wants now, I'm done putting up with his bullshit. If he wants me expelled then so be it." He shrugged, putting a sushi roll in his mouth.

"Fine. Then give me your phone." Eric said, holding out his hand.

"For what?"

"You recorded your fight with Younghoon in the cafeteria. If you won't fight for yourself we will. Hand it over." Eric demanded.

"Hell no. You are not throwing Chanhee under the bus to save me, you wanna help me so bad then fine. But I won't let you do it at the expense of my best friend." Sunwoo scoffed.

"Seriously? After everything he's put you through you're still going to sacrifice yourself for his sake?" Juyeon asked.

"That's what good friends do, Juyeon. They don't abandon each other the moment things get tough." Sunwoo spat. "Some of us should learn that."

"Hey." Eric blurted.

Sunwoo crossed his arms and slumped back against the couch.

"If this is how you treat the people that care about you I don't know if I want to have anything to do with you anymore." Eric scoffed.

Ouch.

Sunwoo looked up at Eric sadly.

"Then leave." Sunwoo shrugged.

Why would you say that you stupid bitch?

Eric looked just as hurt as Sunwoo did from Eric's previous comment.
